    Disliking Hillary has nothing to do with me being conservative. She actually has a few stances I agree with. My disdain for her more comes from the fact that she claims to be someone she isn't and is such a terrible liar.

    She downplayed those fees and said "well that's what they offered" not like she demanded them, which would have been fine if she also didn't say the banks are "scared of her" and she walked down to Wall Street and told them to "cut it out". LOL.

    Hillary is a mainstream Democrat... not a Socialist-Democrat like Bernie Sanders...

    That being said she proposed a maximum wage for CEO's, sponsered a freeze on foreclosures and called for a financial product safety commision before the 2008 Financial Crisis. She also has always supported Dodd-Frank.

    At the same time Trump started a Mortgage company that failed within 2 years...

    Now he owes banks at least $1,000,000,000 and campaigns on deregulating them to what pre-2008 levels or worse.

    You're seriously going to say you trust him more?


    Keep in mind his campaign has been ran like a poorly thought out scam where he lies and says he is self funded... then loans his campaign money... that he pays back with political contributions... which he then spends 20% of that money on his own businesses at a marked rate.

    I never said anything about Trump. This is all about Hillary. You and every Hillary supporter cannot defend her by attacking Trump. I might actually be indifferent of her if she wasn't so full of s---. You can't honestly tell me she is your favorite democratic candidate and defend all of her bs. You're falling on the same party line you accuse every conservative of being on. Follow what the party tells you.

    She was my candidate this year.

    You tried attacking her as some friend of Wall Street... she is for the regulations that are in place.

    She has a history of sponsoring and proposing stricter regulations.


    The alternative may owe more to banks than he is actually worth and is for deragulating them.

    The last time we let banks run wild 40% of the world's wealth evaporated and caused the worst financial calamity in 90 years.



    Hillary is the sane choice.

    First of all, blaming the financial crisis on the banks (Wall St in particular) is irresponsible. Second of all, none of her voting excuses her words that are straight up untrue.

    Sniper fire, defending child rapists while knowing they are guilty, being adamantly against gay marriage, defending women's rights while silencing the women who accused her husband of sexual assault, the list goes on and then there is the stuff she can be indicted for. What a class act.

    She may be viewed as the better choice right now by many Americans, but she is a pretty poor choice.

    The financial crisis is absolutely Wall Streets fault.

    CDOs and worst yet synthetic CDO given bogus AAA ratings and backed by ARMs happens when banks run wild and almost put us into a second great depression... banks need to be regulated. So, we need more regulation like Hillary has always been for... definitely not less.

    Sniper fire... Clinton exaggerated a situation to give a story flare.

    How's that compared to an outright lie that's loony and dangerous like saying there were thousands of Muslims on rooftops in New Jersey celebrating on 9/11 as the towers fell... and then doubling down and refusing to admit he was wrong and accusing the media of a huge cover up that would involve a conspiracy that wiped everyone else memory clean of that day... but Donald Trump's. All in an effort to paint 1,000's of New Jersians as Anti-American... treasonous potential terrorist... better or worse than lying about going to a country during a war and making it sound more dramatic than it was?

    Hillary defended her clients to the best of her ability which is a requirement of being a defense attorney.

    You do know Trump was an adamant supporter of Bill Clinton in the late 90's and completely trashed Paula Jones, Linda Tripp and said that people wouldn't have cared about Monica Lewinsky if she was prettier... right?
    Paula Jones accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault... took a settlement and then posed nude for Penthouse ASAP.
    Trump bashed the s--- out of her for that. Trump himself has been accused of sexual assault himself and settled.


    I get it... you don't like Hillary... you're a Republican. That's in your religion.

    You need to understand everything you are going on about now is extremely weak.

    There are going to be more October Surprises... and even November Surprises.

    Trump hasn't paid taxes in 20 years... I don't think he could afford to...

    Attacking Trump on this issue is just dumb. Not only is what he did legal, he’s in very good company: Microsoft, Facebook, Google, and hundreds of thousands of businesses are ‘guilty’ of the same thing, which is following the Internal Revenue Code to the teeth. You don’t think Hillary and Bill have done it too?

    Oh, yeah, she's just so squeaky clean.

    … By contrast, the Clintons use far more nefarious and unethical means to shelter taxes. First, the Clintons shifted all their bloated mansions into residential trusts, meaning they can avoid taxes on the appreciation of those properties in the future.

    The Clintons have also used tax havens and shell companies to avoid paying higher income taxes. However, perhaps most important of all, they have used the Clinton Foundation as a tax exempt “slush fund.” The slush fund has been used to fund political allies, luxury office space, and first class travel for the Clinton family.

    This is deceptive politics by the New York Times. Trump’s tax return looks audacious; it looks expensive with big numbers and questionable tax liability. Yet, it’s the Clintons who use sneaky maneuvers and deceitful foundations to hide their money and their wealth while making their tax returns look rosy for the American public.

    That’s politics at its best. Trump didn’t play the game, and now he looks like the crook. Irony? Perhaps. But the true elephant in the room is our flawed tax code. If people are dismayed at Trump’s tax filings, there’s only one entity to blame: Congress. This could all be solved with fair and comprehensive tax reform.

    Obviously you didn't even read it, which doesn't surprise me. I know you're not in the habit of reading scholarly articles and are content with the pap you're fed from CNN.

    My source literally and irrefutably demolishes the issue of Trump's taxes and this schmuck links to Hillary Clinton's website. A guy in his 30s/40s using circular reasoning. God how f---ing embarrassing, what am I doing here.

    Same, realistically he'll be assassinated for his extremist comments and threatened actions if it gets to that though.
