Deadbeat Hillary - UPDATED
While Obama’s critics get worked up into yet another trivialistic lather over whether he hates babies, here’s an update on what they are giving Hillary Clinton a pass for:
Atop yesterday’s report that Hillary Clinton’s campaign is stiffing small businesses for hundreds of thousands in unpaid fees for event coordination, today’s Politico reports that Clinton’s campaign is deeply in arrears in paying health insurance premiums as well.
These deadbeat financial machinations are doubly ironic coming from the campaign of the self-appointed avatar of blue-collar workers and those without health insurance. If Hillary Clinton won’t pay those local companies who put together her campaign events, how can she be trusted to manage the whole economy in a time of deep economy crisis? And if Hillary Clinton won’t even pay the premiums of her own campaign staff, how can she be trusted to demand employers pay stiff new mandates for universal health care?
P.S. McCain also gets a pass for promising to be different and then blatantly betraying that promise — exactly the same charge that is leveled repeatedly and without mercy against Obama.
UPDATE
So now we’ve gone from single-payor to zero-payor!
Seriously, did no one at Team Hillary consider how this would look when the campaign announced its numbers? They want to run Hillary as the compassionate candidate, the one who really cares about the people. She cares so much and has so many ideas for helping us that, as Hillary admitted, we can’t afford all of them, even though she has no problem with taking our money “for [our] own good”.
Hey, that is just uncalled for.
She is there for you - Mr. Small Business, and you Ms. Private Citizen.
…. as long as she does not have to pay on time.
But do vote on time.
Sweet. (End sarcasm)
The work hard and play by the rules lady apparently doesn’t think the rules apply to her. Rules like paying your bills are generally enforced by the police. If you doubt me, just *try* not paying for goods and services and see how long before someone is forcing collection. This strikes me as a good reason to be concerned about the way the government would manage its budget under a second Clinton administration.
