       event on radio, TV or billboards. Mail and website ads are
       allowed, although Clinton staffers must approve in writing any
       promotional material. One unhappy UNLV Foundation official in an
       email complained of “meddling” after Clinton’s agency edited a
       description of the annual dinner to “dumb it down.”

       And you think that's unusual for speakers in Clinton's tier?
       She was S of S and her hubby was POTUS.  Her "Little People"
       days are long, long gone.

       That's fine.  But don't try to deny who and what you are simply
       to get some votes.  The motives behind it are so clear that even
       your hardest core liberals should be able to see it.  I'll
       anxiously wait for the comparisons to Romney.....
       Oh wait, she actually pays taxes and grocery shops, unlike the
       other rich people.

       Lol a few years ago I was in a tavern in Chicago. The guy
       sitting next to me was the doorman at the Hilton. Clinton was
       president and was in town someone asked this guy if he was
       staying at the Hilton. He was an Irish fellow, and with his
       brogue he said ,"sure he pulled up in the limo and asked if we
       had any rooms abailable". I almost wet my pants.  Well maybe you
       had to be there  :D

       Meh.  They are both wealthy people trying to pretend they're
       just one of us.
       Oh, speaking of Romney...Ms Clinton has released 30 years of tax
       returns.  Doesn't Romney still keep his hidden?

       Romney released his 2010 and 2011 tax returns.  Just a little
       twist on the truth right?  Is it a law at you that must release
       your tax returns?   Let's not forget, he hasn't paid taxes for
       ten or so years before running, well, according to that liar
       Harry Reid.  We should just accept his story right?

       Nope. See the question mark?
       If it were Romney releasing 30 years and the Clinton's only 2, I
       can't imagine the reaction would be to defend the Clintons, lol.
       Heck, it appears everything from Birth Certificates to College
       Transcripts are mandatory these days, lest the conspiracy
       theories start.

       You left out draft and or service records.  Remember Romney was
       criticized for being in France or where ever he was.  Bush's
       service record.  Hillary, I think we already know what we need
       to know about Hillary.  She wants to be president, has always
       wanted to be president and will do whatever it takes to be
       president, no matter who gets in her way.

       No, it hasn't been until the last decade or so that being rich
       has become a really toxic thing.

       Probably a product of the 1%'s wealth exploding over the last
       decade while middle class has been stagnant or losing ground.
       People don't complain when they are fat and happy.  The middle
       class hasn't been.
