If you want to know what kind of a President Hillary will make, you don't need to read Edward Klein's book (left). All you have to do is watch what Hillary does, and ignore what she says out of both sides of her mouth:Hillary To Donors: "No Money To Anybody Else"
The Huffington Post reports: "Hillary Clinton is personally putting out the word that she has no intention of sharing the wealth: "She's calling all the big-hitter fundraisers and saying, 'I want you to understand: NO money to anybody else. You cannot play both sides of the street,'" in the '08 presidential race, says a longtime Democratic operative who has worked for the Clintons in the past but turned down a role in the current campaign, and is so far sitting this one out.This is why private money does not belong in elections, folks. Candidates should be required to use only the public funds available to them and not a penny more. Gee, what an idea: everybody would start out fair and square, even-steven-like. No one would win because he or she has more money than the next guy or gal. Elections would be decided without candidates having all kinds of people's hands in their pockets in anticipation of poltical favors once they win office. Fair elections and ethical politics. What a novel concept, huh?
And what's the reaction been? "People don't like it, but they're afraid of her." Yet the far more palpable fear for Democrats, discussed constantly, is that she'll have so much money she'll sail to the nomination."
