Since this media outlet won't report it, Obama is on record saying small town residents cling to guns and religion because they are frustrated and lost their jobs.

I thought you already knew the answer SP4,but apparently your ignorance knows no boundaries,neither does your delusion.If the taxable income from the Clintons was derived from malafide income sources it would of course not be declared to the tax inspection .A toddler would understand that.You don't! A very large amount of money is made by ex presidents in the conference circuit.Bill Clinton, being the most popular president of the last decades,with his mental abilities is a popular speaker,welcome everywhere,also in Europe .hence his bounty .I doubt Bush will reap the same sums after his term .
But tell me ,ae you really thinking Bill Clinton would declare money derived from illegal activities to the IRS ,or are you again grabbing at straws as usual.Which one is it ?Just stupid or just your usual poisonous neocon self .

people to be exact. He wouldn't know anything about living in a small town and losing your job. What an insult to the very people he's asking to vote for him! Well he won't be getting this small town persons vote!

The Clintons made a lot of money from speeches and book sales, and guess who made that possible? The public!

SP4: Actually Tonny...Apr 12th, 2008 - 04:15:47

...The Clintons just finished a stellar example of their methods.

Mr. Penn, who works for Hillary...and apparently the Columbian government too(?)...just got back from employer number two (or was it number one?) pimping influence for campaign dollars to the Columbians.

Now Hillary will be the beneficiary here, for sure. After all, what else was Mr. Penn doing, trying to pimp a trade deal she was on-the-record as against???

Free Trade...Clinton-Style. Caught in the act. Busted. The only thing missing is a briefcase full of cash, but in the new age, that is just a transfer away.

Bill Clinton uses his foundation as a legitimate source of revenue, and his speaking, like most honoraria, is a thinly veiled money-for-influence, aimed directly at his wife. After all, who would actually PAY $450,000 to actually HEAR this guy? Cozy deal, huh?...and completely legal.

...and they say Cheney is corrrupt.

Then again, after White Water, FBI records scandal, Greasy commodity trades, Travel Office scandal, lost law firm records, and Mr. Vince Foster being unavailable for comment..forever...

what can you expect?

Hey, SPidiot, read thisApr 12th, 2008 - 07:09:48

The Clintons paid $33,783,507 in federal taxes – 31% of their adjusted gross income. According to the most recent data available from the IRS, in 2005 taxpayers earning $10,000,000 or more paid on average 20.8% of their adjusted gross income in taxes.The Clintons donated $10,256,741 to charity – 9.5% of their adjusted gross income. According to the most recent data available from the IRS, in 2005 taxpayers earning $10,000,000 or more contributed 3.1% of their adjusted gross income in cash contributions to charity.

What percentage has Dickhead Cheney paid? What percentage of tax do you pay, you moron? Oh, I forgot, you're unemployed and sucking off of mommies social security cheque.
Nobody would pay to hear you speak, that's why you open that pustulent sore you call a mouth and spew your crap on this site.

Never expect stupid people to acknowledge their stupidit.SP4 is a fine example .Confronted with facts even my dog would understand,namely that illegal money would never be declared to the IRS ,he tries again to linnk the declared income of the Clintons to illegal sources .I am afraid I'm stuck with only one conclusion now .Ever heard of Pavlov's dog ?Yopu're the dog SP4,no doubt about that .Just the name Clinton is enough to make you react on a subconscious level .Very amusing ,keep on entertaining us with you conditioned reflexes ,just don't expect anybody to take you seriously ...and will you please stop wagging your tail....
