apologies for calling the clintons CORPORATE WHORES

humble apologies that any sentient being in this universe
would ever stoop so low as to call the clintons: "CORPORATE WHORES"

99.8% percent of CORPORATE WHORES are hard-working lobbyists
and corrupt career politicians who just want to make ends meet while
they own the public dialogue and stash money in foreign tax-havens

to even think of calling the clintons: "CORPORATE WHORES" is an unconscionable slur on real lobbyists and CORPORATE WHORES who have worked so hard to own this country

the clintons are definitely not CORPORATE WHORES, and anyone
who calls the clintons CORPORATE WHORES definitely does not
respect the unspoken rules of the rhetorical campaign arena

the clintons merely run an ELEGANT CORPORATE ESCORT SERVICE

And looks like she is not really ready to play in the rough and tumble world of politics, to me. That's what was said about Bernie, but it is really Hillary. She hollers sexist at every criticism, and appears to believe that there should be special rules for herself.
Heh, she would really hate the GE, I am thinking. Like the GOP gives a shit about being called sexist, for REAL sexist behavior.

And - as a woman, I will not support another woman if I am in disagreement with the issues. I have no tribal instinct when it comes to stuff like war and fracking and the TPP, which will adversely affect women, their children, and the men, all over the world. It is disgusting to me that anyone would think they could cover those things with that gender card. Not having it. Hillary is not a "woman", for the purpose of campaigning - she is a politician, she is a candidate. Bottom line.

Since most corporate whores are male, I think corporate gigolos is more appropriate.

i think the most politically-correct should be:

PUBLICALLY-ELECTED CORPORATE ESCORT AND SERVICE PROVIDERS

'...I unapologeticly use sexist slurs advocating on behalf of Bernie Sanders.'

Inspiring. Keep it up.

Why was it okay when there were "corporate whore" posts about Carly Fiorina, Meg Whitman and a long list of male CEOs and banksters? "Corporate whore" is gender neutral, like it or not.
