Sure chalk it all up to right wing smears - you're crying WOLF.
You can wrap it up in a nice bow and call it "Speaking Fees" - or whatever you'd like. Bribery is still Bribery. When it's accepted under the guise of "Speaking Fees" it's a lot less messy though. Straight into the bank account (150 mil dollars).
In corrupt countries it's usually done by accepting a suitcase full of money. It's dirty though, cause the money's gotta be cleaned through money laundering.
Much more palatable to sing a little for the bribe, that ways it's all better, especially when the people you claim to represent accept the ruse without question.
Such is the way of corruption.

So the relationship between Brock and Emily's List is like one degree of separation, after all

The gist of this article is Hillary from the 80's and 90's. She doesn't resemble that today.

Interesting choice of words. I'm sure the "real" feminists will set you straight

Tired of people bashed for speaking their opinion and people trying to force a vote. Rock on.
