How Monsanto, Exxon Mobil, & Microsoft Lobbyists Are Bundling Funds For Hillary
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
The pantsuit revolutionary is at it again. Once again demonstrating her populist chops by employing the services of lobbyists to bundle millions in campaign funds. It’s no wonder opinion polls on her have been plunging as of late.
We learn from Bloomberg that:
When Barack Obama was running for the presidency in 2008—and later for reelection in 2012—he promised he wouldn’t take money from registered lobbyists, not even as bundlers. In the race to succeed him, Hillary Clinton is not following in his footsteps.
The former secretary of state raised more than $2 million from 40 “bundlers”—fundraisers who get their contacts to give to campaigns—who were also lobbyists, according to financial forms released Wednesday by the Federal Election Commission. In all, the Clinton campaign raised $46.7 million between the beginning of April and the end of June.
Clinton’s bundlers include some familiar names: Jerry Crawford, an outside lobbyist to Monsanto and Iowa kingmaker, put together another $35,000 or so. Tony Podesta, a mega-lobbyist who co-founded the Podesta Group and is the brother of Clinton’s campaign chair John, bundled almost $75,000.
Other bundlers lobby for big companies including Microsoft (Fred Humphries) and Exxon Mobil (Theresa Fariello) or industry groups including the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (Daphna Peled). Another group includes former staffers for prominent Democratic politicians (including President Clinton) and politicians themselves, including former South Carolina Governor Jim Hodges. Lobbyist bundlers don’t have to disclose their employers, but the names appear on both Clinton’s disclosures and 2015 lobbyist registrations.
She certainly knows how to diversify her portfolio when it comes to people who bribe U.S. Congress for a living.
Clinton was the only Democrat running for president to have declared lobbyist bundlers as of Thursday. Two Republicans candidates, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Florida Senator Marco Rubio, also filed disclosures on lobbyist bundlers, with Bush raising more than $228,000 from eight lobbyist bundlers and Rubio raising more than $133,000 from three lobbyist bundlers.
Lobbyist participation in a campaign can be hard to avoid: Despite President Obama’s promise, the New York Times found in 2011 that at least 15 of his bundlers had strong links to lobbyists, including “overseeing” them, even if they weren’t registered themselves.
But hey,

I just hope she has anouther fainting spell, falls down and bumps her head hard enough to go cross-eyed again.
Hillary Clinton, the woman is an innovator,
Giving meaning to the word "cunt" day in and day out.
monsanto's roundup and gmo corn have killed the nations bee population, have any of you seen a honey bee all summer?
the only survivors are the bumblebees.
stupid ignoramus.
The pantsuit revolutionary is at it again.
Correction: The Mao-suit revolutionary is at it again.
She is an Alynski Communist who waiverd to the Mao-suit.
Maybe someone who can post pictures can have some fun with this ... YO! Bonzai!!!)
One Of Hillary’s Secret, Illegal E-Mail Addresses Is "mau_suit@clintonemail"http://dailycaller.com/2015/03/06/one-of-hillarys-secret-illegal-e-mail-...
Help me out with something. It takes over a billion dollars to run for POTUS now. How does $35k here and $75 there add up? There is a scale problem. Something is missing. Even if you include past squid and morgan PAC contributions of $5.5MM each, we are waaaay short. Any of you pre-common core 'Drains on society' see the math error here?
the answer is Super PACs -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_action_committee#Super_PACs
Hillary Clinton of Satans Synagogue!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-KSFVJVK5Ythe Clintons are the authors of the fascist police state we now enjoy
But what about Hillarys hair!
“And our problem is not all kooks and klanssmen. It’s also the cruel joke that goes unchallenged. It’s the offhand comment about not wanting “Those people” in the neighborhood. Let’s be honest. For a lot of well-meaning open-minded white people, the sight of a young black man in a hoodie still evokes a twinge of fear. And news reports about poverty and crime and discrimination evoke sympathy, even empathy. But too rarely do they spur us to action or prompt us to question our own assumptions and privilege. We can’t hide from any of these hard truths about race and justice in America. We have to name them and own them and then change them.”-HRC.
You tell em #Hillary!, you don't find black yoot's in hoodies strolling around the streets of Chappaqua NY for a reason!
I just can't think of one off the top of my head ;-)
For a lot of well-meaning open-minded white people, the sight of a young black man in a hoodie evokes a twinge of excitement, coz the candy man's in town.
Hillary and Jeb are the two NSA approved candidates. The choice you have is only an illusion in the land of the free. Keep watching TeeVee, drinking fluoridated water, and eating your unlabeled GMO foods.
NSA has everything under control.
"Hillary and Jeb are the two NSA approved candidates."
True dat.
It seems quite natural that Americans would want to elect a Lying corrupt fat dyke cunt as their next President. After all, she is (Allegedly) a woman........
If you select both sides, you don't have to worry about counting the votes. That makes life so much easier.
"Hillary and Jeb are the two NSA approved candidates. The choice you have is only an illusion in the land of the free."
The NSA are just employees of the global banksters, the ones who are really in charge. Just ask Greece what happens when you vote to go against them. Your entire economy gets whacked.
It's not just the US that's under their thumb. It's the whole planet.
Unpossible!
You should be arrested and flogged like a common short seller in the street!!!
The Beast
Jabba the Hut, 9 years after its 2008 campaign face lift. OH MIGHTY ISIS! NOoo! Not the dolphin! Don't jiggle that thang! Don't! Nooo. Damn! Damn. damn... urrghh
I like Gary Johnson's plan for the elections. The candidtaes must wear jackets with their biggest donors names on them, like nascar. The bigger the donor, the bigger the name would appear on the jacket.
Do you know who would hav appeared biggest on Obama's?...Goldman Sachs. How about Romney?...Goldman Sachs.
To quote the meme from above, "What difference does it make?"
There are not markets, only interventions applies to politics as well.
If voting mattered it would be illegal
The bitch!
Has anyone else noticed how Hillary's body language now mimics that of Betty White on the old Golden Girls TV show? She has her shoulders pulled up toward her neck and an abnormally large smile on her face. I guess some PR person decided she had to look more harmless and likeable. As if that could ever happen.
Why is this not a surprise?
Watchu wanna bet that before this shit is all over a bazillion excess bucks floating about in the belly of the Clinton Initiative makes it's way into the election?
Why else is it called the "Clinton Initiative"?
How dare you sir!
Granny Clinton destroyed public information stored on her private email server for the good of all "common everyday ordanary Americans"!
(And Sidney Blumenthals money connections within Libya)
Pantsuit Bundlepants.
I see the U.S. as the Titanic. A magnificent ship that’s been guided by its leadership right into the side of an iceberg. It’s rapidly filling with water, but unlike the original Titanic it can repair itself and continue its voyage. But, alas, here comes the S.S. Hillary, armed with torpedoes aimed and locked on the hapless U.S. Titanic. If she wins (probably a forgone conclusion), the U.S. Titanic, just like the original, is going down. Unfortunately, in this case, there will be no survivors.
God help us all.
Original Titanic? LOL
Your premise is right but it is not that complicated. The U.S. is as was the Titanic or Olympus whatever you want to call it. No need for any poetic analogy.
Come on Bob you aren't that crazy, it is her turn, you can't deny a person their turn, trust me, after she is sworn in you will learn to love her,,, as for God helping us,,, I'm afraid even God can't help us now!
She might go down in history as being he first female president to get the JFK treatment.
"I see the U.S. as the Titanic."
I see it as the Hindenburg.
I do notice GS is pushing Exxon hard these last few days claiming it is one of their two strong O&G recommendations.
My canidacy has no bundlers.
How any rational thinking human being could cast a vote for this lying sack of shit is beyond my ability to comprehend. That some mentally deficient humans would pick this person to represent them......the logic escapes me.
I've stepped in dog shit that would be a better choice sitting in the Offal Orifice. A pile of shit on a chair would do less harm to USA than this psychopath.
Hillary just responded that she'll be happy to put a pile of shit in the oval office chair. "I'm your pile of shit!" she said.
So now you have to vote for her.
Biden v Walker 2016
"Do I hear $10,000? $10,000 dollars! Do I hear $20,000 for this treasonous and murderous whore..."
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
Does she come with her own basket and pike?
If I were constipated I would not use dried chemicals made of Hillary's Recombinated DNA in an enema for fear of giving her credit for doing something to benefit humanity.
We want heads. Bloody heads on sticks. The corrupt elective process is clear. The motive for her oligarchist and statist policy-making going forward will be clear. The demise of america is clear. What isn't clear is why these charlatans haven't been rounded up and shot by now.
Donald got the cash...
I don't want Goldman Sachs for President.
The President is just a figurehead. GS is the Government.
==> Tyler won't talk about Bernie Sanders because he doesn't notice him.
==> Tyler knows Bernie's there, hopes if we don't notice him he'll go away.
==>> Everybody is sick of KFC
==>> Do you have a dog in this race??
Bernard Sanders is even creepier than Hitlerbill. sHe's irrelevant.
"It" in the sentence, "What difference does IT make" refers to treason. Treason being a prerequisite on the resume for one to be chosen to run for the highest office of the land.
I'm sure these corporations are placing bets on both sides of the aisle and laying pipe wherever designated. That is one creepy looking puppet.
Reagan Tory tosspot varmint putang spewing multinational 1,000 points of light big D democratic she be. Vote Sanders or eat hammer sandwiches.
Oooh! The pantsuit revolutionary and her populist chops. More Hillary fantasizing.
A perfect woman, nobly planned,
To warn, to comfort, and command.
What's worse? Hillary?
California drought?
We havent had a decent white man in the big house since Reagan ... RIP
We haven't had a decent white man in the big house since Jackson... Route the vipers. Restore the Constitution. Kill the bank.
Lead by example. Free the rest.
Killary the Kackling Killer Khunt ''We came, we saw , he died'' Referring to one of the best leaders Africa ever had.
If she become President, hopefully I would like to see ''we came. we saw (in crosshairs). she died.''
Chelsea married a Jew.
The ZioNazis will make sure she gets in by using their media to make up stories about the competition.
Walker is a pedofile
Sanders is a necrophilic.
Bush is a crossdresser
Rubio eats babies for breakfast
Trump sucks cocks in back alleys as a hobby.,

Oh really? Watch the fucking media, Dumbo. Been watching how they do things for 30 years
Idiot is YOU, pull your fucking head out of your ass, dipshit
Always wondered how much Killary paid to get Vince Foster ''suicided''.
She might go down in history as being the first female president to get the JFK treatment.
