SHAME on you Hillary Clinton... haha.

I want to know where Hillary and Bill are getting the cash since they left office. Corruption, Scandal, Kickbacks... Snipers?

Hillary must not know what the word transparent is. She lies about NAFTA, "experience" and her foreign trips. I bet she cheated the IRS too.

Knowledge is power. Having the knowledge of things allows people to take the right decision for themselves. I hope the american people understand that. Hiding something is also lying because for example, if you dont say you've been unfaithful to your spouse, you remain a liar. Hiding something is lying, remember that.

That's what my mamma told me growing up at least...

I will vote for Obama becuase he handles the gutter politics with dignity & grace. He is always a step ahead of Hillary. If he can forsee her dirty tricks and respond to them so quickly, then, he deserves to be President. I want a President who can bring people together and he is doing just that. Keep up the great work Obama. Mr. President!

I believe Senator Hillary Clinton has a gross amount of hiden agendas on her finances and is tr ying to get in as far as she can through the back door before the deadline for filing and if the dead line is extended she would try to wait out through that also. In my opinion this candidate is as slick as a come. SHOULD BE CALLED SLICK Hillie

I once heard that a biographer of Hillary say that she "had a difficult relationship with the truth". Seems his insights were valid.

Hey Suzy,

If you want to know more about Barack's position, all you have to do is go to Barack's website. Just like if you want to learn about Hillary's or McCain's, go to their respective websites as well.

You'd be surprised what you'll learn if you do a little research. However, if you want to verify the legislative experience for any of them, there are plenty of governmental websites showing exactly what bills they have written. By the way, between Clinton and Obama, the score is 2 to 2 in important pieces of legislation, and one of Obama's was regarding transparency.

Release Tax Return from 1993!!!

And is this Obamas and Michelles Tax Return???

By: Mad Texan

Mad Texan — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 19:26:08 +0000

She is so absolutely right in doing so. She does not have the release them until after April 15. That is the deadline for filing, STUPID. So Obama supporters and his campaign shut the h...! up. You are beginning to sound ridiculous if this is all you can smear Hillary with. I am dang tired of your smear tactics on Bill also. He is not running for President, however, you Obama could not even sweep up the tracks of this man. I doubt even that you could shine his shoes. YEAH BOY!!! He is the greatest President of modern times. Obama will never be able to balance the budget or leave the office with three trillion dollars for a Republican to give away. HILLARRY 08

Hillary, when you do release you tax returns, will there be any "miswrites" in the information similar to your "misspeak" on Bosnia?

By: BigAce

BigAce — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 19:22:57 +0000

Yeah Dawn, good post

Why aren't the Clintonians asking for Hillary's earmarks, tax returns and Library donations list? Could they be afraid of what the information would show? It's hypocritical to call out your opponent for something that you have failed to produce.

I was just now listening clip where HRC is mocking Sen.Obama for Rev. Wright sermons. So I think she is bigger sleazy ball than anybody expected. John McCain refused such a personal attacks. Now when we know how these clips were created and broadcasted by FOX News happily all the time, HRC takes it as a weapon against Barack Obama. Is she really Democrat or is she hidden Republican? Well I think mainly she is a liar.

how do you loan your campaign 5 million dollars as a stimulus pkg bcz her campaign was floundering for cash at the time. thats the ross perot move. its also funny we wont see those tax returns til just before the penn primaries doubt even then. everything is reveal the truth after the nomination. i want to know the truth about who i am nominating before i nominate you.

Past primary and caucus results have shown that EDUCATED voters heavily favor Obama, and UNEDUCATED voters heavily favor Hillary. Just goes to show that everyone can see through Hillary's LIES and DISTORTIONS except the sadly IGNORANT, who blindly accept all of the drivel she and her supporters keep dishing out. WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!

History repeats itself. We see it all the time. Maybe we should look at the historical accounts of Hitler's rise to power in the 1930s. You will notice some startling similarities between her campaign and his. Saying that pledged delegates can switch sides is putting her one step closer to facist dictator. You can almost hear the jack-boots marching.

Hilary is DONE FOR!!!!!

1. She lied about foreing policy experience. You can't "mispoke" about imaginary bullets. Esp. if it's the central theme of your campaign.
2. Won't be transparent with taxes. obama has
3. Won't be transparent with ear marked projects. obama has
4. She plays dirty

HILLARY IS A LIAR!!

SHE LIED TO ADD SUBSTANCE TO HER "RESUME"! SHE ASKED THE AMERICA PUBLIC TO HIRE HER FOR THE JOB OF PRESIDENT - WELL HILLARY DO NOT DESERVE THE JOB BECAUSE SHE "EXAGGERATED HER RESUME".

SHE LIES ABOUT EVERYTHING - CAN'T HELP HERSELF - SHE IS BIPOLAR!

Obama's tax returns mean nothing. Do you really think he listed gains from his dirty property dealings with a criminal? The best thing that could happen to this country would be for Obama and all his crazed supporters to fall into a big hole, never to be seen again.

Clinton has not released her tax returns or earmarks or contributors to the Clinton library since she and President Clinton left the White House. The 20 years previous is not the point. When Bill Clinton was running he refused to release his tax returns back to the point where it showed Hillary making a killing in cattle futures in the space of one day. I am suspicious that something(s) similar are in the documents yet to be released. The usual Clinton nonsense is to use April 15 as the deadline- as if the Clinton 2007 returns are the issue. Having never worked for the Clintons I can say she is ruthless, dishonest, and power hungry without being accused of being a Judas. No matter what happens, even if I hold my nose and vote for her in November, I will not feel that the sentiments just expressed are misspoken.

Obama campaign again denudes Hilary's campaing as an orgasam of intellectual anarchy. No wonder people are tired of Hilary. In the absence of having anything intelligent to say, she reverts to attacking. Maybe she will realie she has been outsmarted before she destroys the party.

I couldn't care less about his or her tax returns....

Even if you read AND understand their tax returns, then WHAT?

What counts is their ability to lead, to take tough (intelligent!!) decisions on the spot, to have familiarity with geo-politics and with foreign political counterparts when it counts.

Their tax returns? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE let be real!

Dear HRC,
The past few months have me shaking my head and pointing my finger at you.
You're consistant lies and attempts to do and say anything to win the nomination have led me to look beyond the Billary 1990's economics I so enjoyed.
You will never win my vote, even if you are nominated.

Enough of the sniping! Both candidates have good points and bad points and every person needs to step back and determine who best matches with their interests. Let's quit beating up on each other to try to make your candiate look better by making the opposition look worse. This is not a matter of right or wrong. Bottom line is Hillary's continued lying is as bad as what Obama's pastor said. No one is really convincing anyone else to change sides. All that is happening is we are managing to throw this election to the Republicans. Are you so concerned with being right that you are willing to let the Republicans have a few more years? Just look at the state of affairs in the U.S. today when you respond. Do you want more of the same?

So all of You Obama people keep puting down
Hillary what about all the misspoken words OBama says
everyday no one makes a big deal out of it. You know he is
in a lot of troubel over Rev. Wright and now the other Rev.
who says hate full stuff like the first one. By the way a poll
was taken and it says 55% of the people sirvaded did
not want Obama for President that should tell you
some thing. Obama people want us to forget about the Rev.and
the slum lord on trail. But who can when he belongs to a church for 20 years and says those hate full things and then he says he
never herd it and they in his speech he says he did who is
the liar now . I would not trust him to be president as soon as he is
we would have that Rev. Wright by his side advising him
do you really want some one like that in the white house not me.

Hillary invested $1000 in cattle future and made $100, 000 profit when they lived in Arkansas. She didn't disclose this profit until the year in White House. Rather than admitting to have insider information and treated favorally by the agent because of her status as the wife of the governer, she said she made such outrageous profit because her father read the financial section of the newspaper for her when she was young. This is Hillary, always hiding, omitting and changing the facts, so did she do with the whitewater and travel budget office.

What is everybody concerned about. Hillary said she will release them by 4-15-08 and she will do as she said. Good know that Obama's taxes are out lets see how much he gave to his Church and let's see how much he received from Rezko or how much Rezko gave him with another name or company or institution.

Hilliary has been in this downard spiral from the very begining of this campaign. Anytime your not willing to talk about the issues/solutions of this country and, focus on Bush,Obama, Richardson bashing. That tells the American people that you've already been defeated, (She's actually the one that killed her own camapaign). Stick to something that's at least attainable.

Right after she "misspoke" about Bosnia too. She said that she has never misspoke about it before, but again, more lies.

On March 17, she said in a speech:

I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.

In a Feb. 29 speech she said:

I remember a trip to Bosnia where the welcoming ceremony had to be moved inside because of sniper fire.

um...maybe I'm missing something, this is the first time I've paid attention to the presidential candates this closly, but why is the release of a canidates tax refund important? Is it the fact that they filed, in which case they'd be arrested, how much they got back, or is there something else? What am I missing here?

I think it is funny that someone so well educated and financially independent and well off as the Clinton's could have so much in common with hard work white collar union America. I think it is a shame that these people would take advantage of undereducated yet good hearted people as the Clinton's have. her campaign slogan should be" pull the wool, move on to the next state" of but forget the little ones they don't matter anyway unless we get into trouble.
