Pretty fascinating list. The only Democrat there is Clinton.

Clinton is busy taking money from foreign governments

It's disgusting how much people donate, and candidates accept.  Can you imagine if someone just gave you 100k and what you could do with it?  Never mind the millions people donate and accept.  DISGUSTING!

Is this about the uranium deal, or was there more ?

Yup. Hillary's 2 billion she will spend all came in $20 increments. I love how Dems think their candidates aren't bought by the rich and powerful.

Fred I'm actually starting to slightly move to your side on this.  I have a hard time getting past the freedom to buy ads saying whatever you want, but something has to give somewhere.
