So much for support of the American worker. Anti-union, pro-corporations; she should be running on the Republican ticket.


Let's hope the coverage of this is widespread so that she can't lie about her non-existing support of the American worker any longer.

hillary did work for rose law firm and for one of their biggest clients, Walmart. what disturbs me more is you can add to the list Monsanto. the biggest pig of all, a company responsible for the downfall of american agriculture (as well as the destruction of safe agriculture around the world).
how can you vote for her?

I was fascinated by the way the news clown framed the question. I'm as outraged as anyone by union busting and discriminatory business practices, but if you look at the larger picture, these are only Walmart's minor crimes. The core of their business model is the destruction of the economy wherever they do business. They use their stores to crush local economies and their purchasing and political power to crush the national economy. Next to that, the mistreatment of workers is trivial.

I was also somewhat amused by the defense of the "Buy America" campaign. There's no contradiction between the signs and the labels. They're not saying "Buy American", they're saying "Buy America!!" They like this country, so they're going to buy it, and they won't have to pay much, since the economy will be in ruins, thanks to them.

Of course, I'm sure those years on the Board will continue to be counted towards the "35 years of experience," even as Hillary tries to distance herself from them.

Looks like the appetite for Hillary hate on alternet has waned except for the handful of Rove/GOP/Obama shills left on here.

What's next, a video of Hillary in a Hitler outfit and moustache throwing a puppy over a cliff? To land on Vince Foster?

Can't wait.

We can place the blame for the piss-poor condition of our economy squarely in the laps of WalMart and their favorite son and daughter, the Clintons.

WalMart has ruined the foundation of our country by underbuying and underselling every other business in existance. They are our largest employer, paying substandard wages, and offering no health benefits to the vast majority of their employees and limited benefits to the others. The list of the sins committed by WalMart against each and eveyone of us, each and everyday, is endless. Unfortunately, so many of our underemployeed neighbors make so little money that they are forced to shop there. It's all part of the evil plan...

Knowing this, how can anyone vote for Hillary? Especially people in states like Ohio where thousands upon thousands of jobs have been lost as a result of Bill's WalMart-o-nomics?

I am at my wits end...if Texas goes for "H" tonight, I give up. We can't help people who insist on voting against their best interests over and over and over and over. Wake the hell up people!

bushclintonbushclinton blahblahblahblah...is that what we want? When will Chelsea be old enough to run? Can we stick another couple of Bush's in there in the meantime? Might as well!

I swear - I'm losin' it!

Politicians are corrupt?! You don't say. Wal-mart is evil. I've never shopped there, and I never will. But please name me a high-ranking official who hasn't taken money from a big evil corporation. It's what they do. It's how they get to be where they are.

I'm sure if Obama gets the nomination, we'll all find out what his evil connections are--and then what?

ritadona69, so if all politicians are bad, it doesn't matter whom we vote for, right?

Hilary is one of the Republican candidates. She is supported by the rightwing of the Republican party for good reason: she's win/win.

She can't beat McCain, so if she runs against him the Republicans win.

Even if she could beat him, her heart and soul are Republican, so she does mostly the same things McCain would.

When someone here makes a logical reason to vote for Clinton, we can assume they are sincere.

When they use troll-logic, ad-absurdum arguments and sacasm we can assume they are Repulicans shills just stopping by.

It may not matter, however. Our national goose seems to be cooked.

Michelle Obama is taking a break from her main job, as a well-paid Chicago hospital executive, to campaign for her husband. But she was re-elected to the board of an Illinois food-processing company,
Treehouse Foods a position she took up two years ago to gain experience of the private sector.

And the biggest customer for the pickles and peppers produced by Treehouse Foods is the retail giant Wal-Mart, the world's largest corporation and the evil company Democrats including Sen Obama like to attack, As Obama entered the presidential race late last year, he threw his weight behind the union-backed campaign against Wal-Mart. He declared that there was a "moral responsibility to stand up and fight" the company and "force them to examine their own corporate values".

According to the couple's tax returns, Mrs Obama earned $51,200 for her work as a non-executive director on Treehouse's board last year, on top of the $271,618 salary she was paid as a vice-president of the University of Chicago Hospitals. She also received 7,500 Treehouse stock options, worth a further $72,375, as she did the previous year, when she banked a $45,000 salary from the company.

The apparent contradiction between Sen Obama's political decision to join the Wal-Mart-bashing lobby, and his wife's profitable role with a company that makes money from Wal-Mart, should be as closely scrutinised by all of you
as Clinton's role is being looked at. After
all Clintons original ties to Walmart were over 20 years ago when old man Walton was alive
and it was a buy America company.

Back to the drawing board. Another attempt at getting the pot to call the kettle black foiled.

Curses!

stop blaming Hillary and anyone else (Michelle Obama) for being associated with Wal-Mart. I DO NOT SHOP AT WAL MART and this message is for all of YOU WHO DO, it's your fault they are still in business, get a grip, boycott Wal Mart and help all of the union and non union workers in this country.

I looked at the link. It's always good to check sources. So Hillary got 11,300 from Wal-Mart execs, some who happen
to be Arkansians. Obama got 3,300. That's not going to stop me from voting for both Clinton and Obama when they make history, TOGETHER.
Hey if we're throwing dirt, Obama's chief economic advisor is from the Chicago School of Economics,
see artcle: The New Republic, link listed below
Yes That infamous school made famous in Naomi Klein's amazing book, Shock. I'm not sure what to make of that either?
Strange bedfellows, it seems. So while we're using our
perfectionist fine-tooth combs, the world
is burning. Again, I'll take them BOTH, O and H, instead
of 100 years in Iraq.
