what's with liberals being career politicians?

[Willie99]

even their leaders suck the government and the people dry

Eric Holder & Janet Reno two of the longest serving AG's in our nation's history. These people can't survive outside the beltway fog

compare and contrast the lives of prominent democrats vs republicans

the lefty is almost always a career politician, the righty usually accomplished something outside of the political arena



even their AG's won't go home

That is how they become elitists, they live in their own little world. Unfortunately their little world effects the great big world we live in. Term limits, better controls on lobbying and campaign contributions but writes the laws that controls all that. It is a vicious circle and we are right in the middle of it. Oh well hang in their long enough and you can give a $500,000.00 speech lol.

Corrected grammatical mistakes lol. One more thing, have Ivy League graduates made this a better place to live in? Elitism prevails. The story of this country as it stands now is "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". Good (working class people), Bad (DC), Ugly (Liberalism).

Of course the above idiot is calling Holder a Politician when he's never held elected office.
Of course the above idiot is blaming Holder for "not going home" when it was the Republican Congress that kept Holder from going home when he wanted to, from Sept 2014 to April 27, 2015 by playing Political games with his successor, and keeping him in the job.
Of course the above idiot doesn't say that Republican Ronald Reagan was the first Politician to appoint Holder to his first appointed Job in Government.
Of course, the above idiot can't say what Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, or Ted Cruz accomplished outside of the Political arena, but he'll blindly pull the lever for them anyway because they have an R next to their name.
Of course, the above idiot should stick to football, where he at least has a low 40% chance of being right(except on deflategate, where he maintains his non Footballl 0%), as opposed to Politics, where it's 0%.

Just Wrong Way being Wrong Way, the Always Wrong Partisan Hack he always is.

Where oh Where did the last 2 Republican Presidents go to College?? Which party is against Limits on Campaign Contributions? Which Current POTUS Candidate is the closest to working class people, and is campaigning to have far stricter controls on lobbying and campaign contributions?

You can have this KO Vit, and others for a few hours. I'm gone after this post, but Lying Ace will record that I'm still here.

You really are stupid. I was talking about DC in general but that does apply to Obama and Hillary...duh. Look where Obama has gotten us and he was bragging yesterday lol. Your party is taking all the money it can get from where ever it can get it who are you trying to kid. Get real. Just take a good hard look at the Clinton Foundation and that is the mindset you should be looking at. Who is worth $500,000 a speech, nobody. That is all about legal graft. So if one of them does a speech for free does that mean they can write off $500,000 as a charitiable donation. You don't get it and you never will.

where has race been brought up in this thread?

also Russ the troll is gonna decide who is worth what? A persons speech compensation is worth what someone else is willing to pay. Do republicans have any problem with the millions of dollars these CEO's will get even after they have destroyed the company? Or is it just when a democrat makes money?

[h=1]AFTER RECEIVING AT LEAST $200K PER SPEECH, HILLARY ATTACKS CEO PAY[/h]

Jose Marcio Sanchez / Associated Press

by BREITBART NEWS14 Apr 2015342

On Monday, pandering to her party’s left-wing that has always distrusted her close ties to Wall Street, Hillary Clinton, who made at least $200,000 per speech since leaving the State Department and is reportedly in the top one-hundredth of the 1%, attacked CEO pay in an email to supporters, saying that everyday Americans are struggling at a time “when the average CEO makes about 300 times what the average worker makes.”
According to a Bloomberg report, in the 16 months since leaving the State Department, Clinton “earned at least $12 million” from speaking fees and book contracts. She reportedly made at least $200,000 a speech–the University of Buffalo reportedly paid $275,000 for Clinton to speak at an October 23 event. Bill Clinton, according to the report, has made at least $105 million in speaking fees alone (some speeches reportedly pay as much as $750,000) since leaving the White House. Bloomberg noted that Hillary’s “earnings represent a fraction of the Clinton family’s total income and yet were large enough to rank her not only in the top 1 percent of the nation’s earners but in the top one-hundredth of the 1 percent.”
Clinton was widely lampooned after she matter-of-factly declared that she was “dead broke” after her family left the White House. A Washington Post analysis of Clinton’s finances revealed how tone deaf her “dead broke” remarks were. According to the Postreport, “tax returns Hillary Clinton released during her 2008 campaign show that the Clintons made $87.3 million in joint adjusted gross income between 2001 and 2006.” ThePost also noted that “in 2010, then-Secretary Clinton’s financial disclosures revealed a net worth totaling between roughly $10 and $50 million” and “in 2012, the last year for which she disclosed finances, Clinton’s net worth was estimated to be between $5 million and $25 million,” which was the same range that she reported while she was in the Senate. The family’s “confirmed income between 2001 and 2012 was at least $136.5 million.”
Last decade, the Clintons also purchased a $1.7-million home in New York and a $2.85-million home in Washington, D.C. She recently told Univision’s Jorge Ramos in an interview in which she uncomfortably conceded that she was worth millions that her family would not be selling those homes in the near future.
Bloomberg News predicted that that progressives will “question how Clinton will appeal to working-class voters and serve as the party’s chief crusader against stagnant wages and the gap between rich and poor, given that she has received millions from financial firms and other corporations.” And Mother Jones, the left-wing magazine, did exactly that, writing: “Hillary’s for-profit speaking gigs raise a serious question for a possible presidential candidate: Is she being courted by and/or providing access to the well-heeled companies and industry groups—including Goldman Sachs, the Carlyle Group, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, the National Association of Realtors, and the US Green Building Council, among many others—that have paid her to speak?”
Clinton is blatantly trying to play the “income inequality”/”class warfare” card to appeal to President Barack Obama’s coalition and progressives who are yearning for
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)

12%​

to primary her. Warren has hammered Wall Street and income inequality, which prompted even Warren Buffett to call her out for being “angry and demonizing.” Warren recently responded by asking, “Do you think if I smiled more at banking committee hearings that Wall Street would put me on their Christmas Card list? Give me a break.”In her announcement video, Clinton said she wanted to be a champion for “everyday Americans.” She has vowed to meet with voters in smaller settings instead of large rallies, been traveling in her “Scooby van” and stopped by places like Chipotle (while wearing sunglasses indoors) in blatant attempts to seem “normal” and “in touch” with “everyday Americans.”
Obama and Democrats incessantly demonized Mitt Romney for representing the 1% in 2012, and it was a strategy that worked for the Obama campaign. Bloomberg News pointed out that the “annual U.S. mean wage for all occupations was $46,440 as of May 2013,” and in the 2012 election, exit polls found that among Obama supporters, 60% made $50,000 or less. Bloomberg noted that 41% of the 2012 electorate also made $50,000 or less
