50. Hillary? Watch what you wish for - No tax records - Bill paid Millions by Dubia & India backers -
Do you really think Hillary and Bill just want to play nice for the American people? She is very divisive and secretive and if you think that she is going to change her ways - FORGET IT! She will play the game as she says about Obama more then we can even imagine - Just give her time!

I fear that the Democrat Party is going to be the BIG loser in this charade! It is making me sick to think about it!

Hillary’s unreleased tax returns makes her riskiest candidate
By: Paul Abrams

HUFFINGTON POST -

(snip)

Huh? Her tax returns are already done and submitted to the IRS. She does not have to collect papers. All she need do is leave her accountant a voice mail (about 15 seconds), and have him hit the "send" button on his computer that stores her returns. If she can watch Saturday Night Live and MSNBC (she referred to her having watched them during the debate), then she certainly has 15 seconds to provide her accountant instructions to send out her tax returns.

Then, today, we are told by the campaign that there will be no tax returns released until after she secures the nomination.

Let us agree with Hillary that the American people care about their jobs, their children's education, the Iraq War, healthcare, and other issues that directly impact them, and not candidates' tax returns.

Nonetheless, it is hard to listen to the waffling, and then the redrawn line-in-the-sand, without assuming that there must be some very embarrassing information in those returns that would turn off voters. Why else would she just not release them, and remove doubt?

Here is an article on the Clinton's Resko - Why isn't the media talking about Vin Gupta: The man the Clintons love
By Aziz Haniffa in Washington, DC | May 30, 2007 -

Vinod 'Vin' Gupta, 60, founder, chairman and CEO of infoUSA -- one of America's largest consumers of information with millions of clients -- is probably the single biggest contributor to the Democratic Party over the years.

He is a longtime Clinton benefactor, who has suddenly found himself thrust into the public domain in the wake of major articles in the New York Times and the Washington Post regarding his use of his company's private jet to fly the former President and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on personal, business and campaign trips.

Some shareholders in infoUSA have filed a lawsuit alleging that all of this was 'a waste of corporate assets', and an effort by Gupta to 'ingratiate himself', with these high-profile guests.

(snip)

Just before his second term ended, Clinton appointed Gupta as a member to the prestigious Board of Trustees of the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. But even with Clinton out of the White House, Gupta's friendship with the now former President grew, and he brought him on as a consultant to infoUSA and, according to the lawsuit, beyond nearly $3 million in consulting fees, had flown the Clintons and himself to Acapulco, Mexico, on a vacation in 2002 and also to Switzerland, Hawaii and Jamaica. He was also said to have provided corporate jets for Mrs. Clinton at least seven times since 2002, although it was unclear whether he had done so after she began her Presidential campaign.

They know how to play the game to win - but at what price?
