Just Like Old Times - Clinton Defends Campaign Donations

It seems just like yesterday when Clinton was defending campaign donations, and now Clinton defending campaign donations is back in the news. 

Bill Clinton's administration was hounded with allegations surrounding donations from various Chinese campaign donors, allegedly for quid pro  on everything from a stay in the White House to nuclear secrets and Boeing wing technology.

Now Hillary before she even enters the Oval Office is already turning out $23,000 to charity after receiving a donation from Norman Hsu.  Hsu may not be a Riyadi, but he is wanted in the State of California for Grand Theft and seems to enjoy sending campaign contributions to all sorts of Democratic candidates.

It would appear according to investigations conducted by the Wall Street Journal that Hsu sent donations to Clinton and other recipients through other individuals, like a mail carrier family in San Francisco.  Sounds a lot like the contribution machine of the former Clinton administration doesn't it?

Funny thing about politics, you can't choose your donors, but you can refuse them.  Instead, politicians are setup to take the money in and ask questions later.  In the meantime, they earn interest on that money, and they pump up their total contribution numbers, which makes them look more successful.

If campaigns worked like diets, Hillary would be bulimic instead of one of those people taking an obscure supplement like hydroxycut to reduce the intake.   One thing is for certain, there is no gridlock in the Clinton campaign when it comes to accepting a contribution!
