Hillary & Monsanto

[peacebird]

How is Hillary personally involved in supporting big agriculture? The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), which gathers leaders to solve the world's problems, promotes Monsanto, the maker of RoundUp® and RoundUp Ready® seeds. Hugh Grant, Monsanto's Chairman and CEO spoke at the Clinton Global Initiative conference in September, 2014. Ms. Clinton's top campaign advisor, Jerry Crawford, was a lobbyist for Monsanto for years and is now the political pro for her Super PAC, "Ready for Hillary." Clinton spoke in favor of the government's Feed the Future (FtF) program, a USAID funded, corporate-partnered program that brings RoundUp Ready® technology to the most vulnerable populations of the world. Monsanto and Dow Chemical support Hillary and Bill's 'Clinton Foundation' with generous donations.

Last year, at a San Diego biotech conference, Hillary coached her audience in messaging. "Genetically modified sounds Frankensteinish. Drought-resistant sounds like something you'd want. Be more careful so you don't raise that red flag immediately."

It's also highly unlikely for Hillary Clinton to stand up against her benefactors, saying she favors a review of RoundUp, 2,4-D, and the even more toxic poisons used by farmers worldwide when she has friends in the industry telling her that they will "feed the world" someday with their agricultural methods.

1. Roundup Ready for Hillary.

Good lord, there is so much to dislike about that woman. Just 10% of it is enough to disqualify her as a candidate in my book. As a whole, no way I want her in the WH.

7. How is Hillary not leading the republican race?

She is like their perfect candidate.

Is there a single corporate interest she will ever say "no" to?

[George II]

8. And Sanders isn't?

[ish of the hammer]

11. so this is not a "lesser of two evils" kind of choice?

I'm sure she would be more than happy to "reach across the aisle, in the name of compromise".

Well...I've had enough of that crap.
