Hillary Clinton's Fugitive Fundraiser

Major "HillRaiser" Norman Hsu is again a wanted fugitive after skipping his court hearing today. Though he posted $2 million bail last week, he is off again just like he was in 1991 when facing the original grand theft charges. Nobody knows where Hsu has fled to, though we can all guess he is in China, or perhaps Hillary Clinton's basement. But Hillary says she knew nothing about her great HillRaiser's criminal past. It is odd that she has accepted such large contributions without getting any history of the person giving them. Either she is lying, or she is incompetent.

Let's first get this straight, Hsu did not infiltrate the Clinton lair to make her campaign look bad. These are the type of people who surround the Clintons. It is that simple. She is clumsily back-peddling from her association with Hsu by returning $23,000 she had collected from him for her presidential and senatorial campaigns, and HillPac (Hillary's political action committee).

There is something deeper and far more sinister to this relationship that will probably come out in the end, unless Hillary has her way, she has always been aggressive when it comes to covering up scandals. This is certainly not the first fundraising scandal Hillary Clinton has been caught up in, and it will not be the last. There is not a strand of moral fiber in this candidate's body.

Scoundrels


What I find the most puzzling about this is that a high-profile Democrat like Hillary Clinton finds it particularly easy to suck money out of wealthy liberal activists like the attendees of this event, yet she still feels compelled to break the law so that her campaign can pocket a few $100 thousand.

Even if Hillary knew nothing of this false reporting, which she more than likely did, it shows the country the type of people who she chooses to surround herself with. We should not reward this sort of behavior by electing them to positions of the greatest power, while punishing ourselves at the same time. Or perhaps we should, my dad always said, "If people are dumb enough to elect them (in this case her), then they deserve what they get." Unfortunately, if this were the case, those of us who value truth, honesty and responsibility will also pay this terrible price.

Liars, swindlers and scoundrels naturally flock to the Clintons. Are these the type of people we want running our country?
