Your headline is wrong. He is not running her "campaign" leftofcool May 2015 #3

You should try Google sometime. L0oniX May 2015 #4

Typical and predictable leftofcool May 2015 #5

You should try posting honest ops. This is bullshit. The quote: okaawhatever May 2015 #85

But the bottom line is that H. Clinton has close ties to Monsanto. I assume you are ok with that??nm rhett o rick May 2015 #169

From the article YOU posted (although the headline is from the article, not your creation): George II May 2015 #106

Curious that you don't address the issue but pick at the wording of the post. nm rhett o rick May 2015 #165

The "issue" is the person chosen to run her campaign, which is false, he's not running her campaign. George II May 2015 #173

Clinton hires former Monsanto lobbyist. You are trying to deflect from the issue. rhett o rick May 2015 #177

To be fair, it isn't the OP's mistake, but the moron blogger who wrote it. tritsofme May 2015 #8

yeah...as if the OP couldn't edit the title to have it read more honestly? Sheepshank May 2015 #161

Curious that you don't address the issue but pick at the wording of the post. nm rhett o rick May 2015 #167

This response strategy is becoming increasingly common Fairgo May 2015 #181

The first and opening sentence is a whopping lie, so I'm supposed to continue reading Sheepshank May 2015 #183

It is definitely not correct salib May 2015 #10

Curious that you don't address the issue but pick at the wording of the post. nm rhett o rick May 2015 #166

maybe in YOUR world wyldwolf May 2015 #6

A former Monsanto lobyist as an ADVISOR is still pretty bad, imho. darkangel218 May 2015 #9

There is a WORLD of difference in being an advisor to a PAC and running a national campaign wyldwolf May 2015 #12

He may have different duties, but hes still an ex MONSANTO lobbyist darkangel218 May 2015 #14

an adviser to a PAC has substantially less sway and power than a Presidential campaign manager. wyldwolf May 2015 #24

I wouldn't hire them to clean my toilet IVoteDFL May 2015 #28

Frustrating but predictable. darkangel218 May 2015 #31

How do you know what sway and power he has? zeemike May 2015 #110

Here's an obvious sign of trouble... MrMickeysMom May 2015 #137

Says who? wyldwolf May 2015 #150

Besides the super pacs are running the campaigns! They can raise all the money which = power. TheNutcracker May 2015 #20

Why would a Democratic candidate for the WH hire a Monsanto lobbyist in sabrina 1 May 2015 #144

Have you ever thought many Democrats disagree with your summation? wyldwolf May 2015 #149

Im not surprised at all. She never hid her support for GMOs darkangel218 May 2015 #7

Exactly! When I watched her Monsanto speech, I knew I could NEVER support her. TheNutcracker May 2015 #16

Im right there with you. darkangel218 May 2015 #19

oh, yeah! Nationofchange was the organization that stole a mailing list and spammed it for money wyldwolf May 2015 #11

Yeah ....act like that is the only site saying the same thing. L0oniX May 2015 #15

what other site believes an adviser to a PAC is the same thing as a national campaign manager? wyldwolf May 2015 #18

"national"? Whatever. L0oniX May 2015 #29

Is Hillary running a national campaign? Yes. LOL. 'whatever.' wyldwolf May 2015 #32

Try reading the OP for a change. L0oniX May 2015 #34

try posting accurate post titles and not defending the inaccurate ones. wyldwolf May 2015 #37

It's an actual title pasted from the website. I didn't write it. L0oniX May 2015 #43

One you knew was misleading when you posted it. wyldwolf May 2015 #49

Miss Cleo must have told you that. L0oniX May 2015 #51

you mean you don't know the difference between a PAC adviser and a campaign manager? wyldwolf May 2015 #52

Continue to ask Miss Cleo. L0oniX May 2015 #57

I just did. She said you don't know the difference. Sorry. wyldwolf May 2015 #58

Maybe she can tell you what is actually said in the OP since all you see is a title from a website. L0oniX May 2015 #61

A title you posted and without realizing what it said, I guess. wyldwolf May 2015 #63

I don't have to modify a title from a website just to please you. L0oniX May 2015 #70

No. No you don't. But the precedent you're setting allows for some interesting possibilities wyldwolf May 2015 #111

But he/she has to post the EXACT headline for the link. George II May 2015 #107

says who? wyldwolf May 2015 #113

Well, for "Latest Breaking News" it's a requirement, elsewhere it's an implied requirement... George II May 2015 #119

you're half right wyldwolf May 2015 #121

' Whatever ' she does is ok . No she having a Tea party, for who ? orpupilofnature57 May 2015 #38

Why is the blogger's title, or the source what's important here. It's a serious position TheNutcracker May 2015 #17

Apparently I am supposed to edit a title quote from a website before posting it. L0oniX May 2015 #73

yeah...it';s not that hard to do..especially when it wrong. Sheepshank May 2015 #162

Seems some here are trying to distract from the real issue. H. Clinton has close ties to Monsanto. rhett o rick May 2015 #168

The regurgitated, recurring RW blabber basing the latest outrage on association. Sheepshank May 2015 #184

Because it distracts from the real issue dflprincess May 2015 #127

Yes, they did, and Eric Holder was as useless as tits on a bull. We didn't like Geithner Nay May 2015 #131

What possible good would that do ? You don't think Monsanto is noteworthy ? orpupilofnature57 May 2015 #46

Not a deal breaker given he's a former lobbyist. babylonsister May 2015 #67

He is an adviser to a SuperPac. So the title of the OP is 100% inaccurate. Agnosticsherbet May 2015 #95

Is "Ready For Hillary" working on some other campaign? NYC_SKP May 2015 #108
