Just a coincidence I suppose? Punkingal Jan 2016 #12

Does it matter? HerbChestnut Jan 2016 #15

Seems to be the fashionable thing for Autumn Jan 2016 #16

What I DO notice is the recent trend of "grasping at straws". nt oasis Jan 2016 #20

aI agree, oasis. Hillary is grasping at straws. As she gins up CEO support for her campaign, she's roguevalley Jan 2016 #62

Sure. It's the same conflict of interest time and again. The rich playing by their own rules. Bubzer Jan 2016 #34

Why didn't you google this before posting an anonymous tweet? nt pnwmom Jan 2016 #23

See post #4....there is a link to a story. Punkingal Jan 2016 #24

(self-delete) pnwmom Jan 2016 #33

What???? Punkingal Jan 2016 #36

Automatic spell check betrayed me. I think what happened is that I typed in "Thanks" pnwmom Jan 2016 #38

I googled it jberryhill Jan 2016 #30

So Gov. Ann Richards granddaughter is now working for Hillary. pnwmom Jan 2016 #35

Sure does...real good hire, when you get an endorsement along with it. Punkingal Jan 2016 #39

Planned Parenthood had given Hillary the Margaret Sanger award in a previous year, pnwmom Jan 2016 #43

LOL..... Punkingal Jan 2016 #49

Cecile Richard's daughter was well-qualified for the job. pnwmom Jan 2016 #50

Thanks for bringing facts to this thread, pnwmom. nt SunSeeker Jan 2016 #53

You're welcome, SunSeeker. n/t pnwmom Jan 2016 #55

This thread had plenty of facts already. Maybe you just don't like them. Punkingal Jan 2016 #56

No, I dislike lies, smears and CTs. The OP title is very misleading. SunSeeker Jan 2016 #73

Few people are talking about what Ms. Adam's qualifications were for the job. pnwmom Jan 2016 #76

and for Blumenthal of Connecticut or Ted Strickland of Ohio CreekDog Jan 2016 #115

you aren't posting any facts, you're just posting assertions without any backup CreekDog Jan 2016 #114

An untold number of people are disqualified from performing an untold number of jobs for this reason cherokeeprogressive Jan 2016 #90

It's contacts treestar Jan 2016 #96

I guess "the appearance of impropriety" is an archaic term. cherokeeprogressive Jan 2016 #97

It does not apply to people getting jobs via contacts treestar Jan 2016 #98

And to put this into context -- pnwmom Jan 2016 #101

+1 CreekDog Jan 2016 #116

So PP is comparable to a Wife and a Step-Daughter. Got it. I wonder if they endorse him. cherokeeprogressive Jan 2016 #121

Weren't you the person who complained about nepotism? n/t pnwmom Jan 2016 #142

Yes. Combined with cronyism. cherokeeprogressive Jan 2016 #144

So nepotism is only wrong when it's combined with other things? n/t pnwmom Jan 2016 #146

Phew... this is tiring. Have a Most Wonderful Day. There's a playoff game starting. I'm done. cherokeeprogressive Jan 2016 #148

But if Sanders wins the primaries, and the Rethugs and RW media start throwing pnwmom Jan 2016 #99

This. If a person is qualified that's good. If known, that's better. If it happens to be libdem4life Jan 2016 #151

Why don't you post another Benghazi thread? nt geek tragedy Jan 2016 #117

Oooh. You mean Ambassador Stevens died on someone else's watch? cherokeeprogressive Jan 2016 #118

Thank you Mr. Gowdey nt geek tragedy Jan 2016 #119

Was anything I said untrue? 7 Ambassadors? Stevens sent urgent messages that went unread? cherokeeprogressive Jan 2016 #124

Which urgent messages did Stevens send to Clinton herself requesting extra geek tragedy Jan 2016 #125

From her testimony: “I do not believe that he had my personal email" cherokeeprogressive Jan 2016 #132

LOL. You're not Trey Gowdey, you're Mike Pompeo! geek tragedy Jan 2016 #134

Ouch. That's not going to leave just a mark, it's going to leave a scar. cherokeeprogressive Jan 2016 #135

You must have been crushed that your side did so poorly when Hillary testified. nt geek tragedy Jan 2016 #137

Fuck the "my side" bullshit. cherokeeprogressive Jan 2016 #138

Is there any you wouldn't suspect? treestar Jan 2016 #94

the granddaughter could have gotten a better job than this one in Hillary's campaign CreekDog Jan 2016 #113

Strongly feminist Democratic candidate okasha Jan 2016 #163

there is absolutely nothing to prove any relationship between the hire and the treestar Jan 2016 #93

The reason people are suspicious Kentonio Jan 2016 #108

Cecile Richards endorsed her daughter's employer jberryhill Jan 2016 #42

I'm not disputing it. I think PP had plenty of other valid reasons for endorsing pnwmom Jan 2016 #44

Why did you ask the OP to Google it? jberryhill Jan 2016 #47

Because at that time I didn't know anything about her. And then someone pnwmom Jan 2016 #48

... cherokeeprogressive Jan 2016 #136

I am aware of his very good record. But did he testify before Congress pnwmom Jan 2016 #141

Does one choose to testify, or are they asked to? cherokeeprogressive Jan 2016 #143

Can't you request to? n/t pnwmom Jan 2016 #145

How would that work? "I want to testify. Convene a subcommittee for me." Like that? cherokeeprogressive Jan 2016 #147

No. A congressperson on the relevant committee has to call you. (nt) jeff47 Jan 2016 #166

Incidentally... jberryhill Jan 2016 #46

Why, the "good hire" gene, of course Art_from_Ark Jan 2016 #65

The previous-highly-relevant-work-experience made her a good hire. pnwmom Jan 2016 #75

"Daughter of PP's chief goes to work for Hillary's campaign." There, fixed the slimey innuendo. Hekate Jan 2016 #120

Isnt the source for this Breitbart? randys1 Jan 2016 #122

No, Breitbart wasn't the source. Read the entire op. Punkingal Jan 2016 #130

It's the way they stifle discussion. Breitbart. "RW Talking Points". Fox News. It doesn't matter cherokeeprogressive Jan 2016 #133

Yes, story originated at Breitbart randys1 Jan 2016 #153

I don't give a flip where it originated. Punkingal Jan 2016 #154

so breitbart started the story going around to harm Hillary and it is being used randys1 Jan 2016 #155

I don't claim anything...I am a liberal. And there is a link to politico. Did you even look? Punkingal Jan 2016 #156

Tim Kaine's press secretary. And maybe the daughter went to work for Hillary for the same geek tragedy Jan 2016 #123

more alarmingly, it makes PP look like it's turned itself into yet another arm of the campaign MisterP Jan 2016 #127
