Hillary Clinton Defends Use of Corporate Jet for Family Vacations

Excerpt:

On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton was challenged by the press about the Clinton family’s acceptance of more than $900,000 in free private travel from Infousa, a company linked to scamming the elderly.

Her reply? She said that she had complied with all Senate ethics rules and reimbursed the company for the amount of a first class air ticket — usually about 1 percent of the cost of the luxurious private jet travel. According to Hillary, “Those were the rules. You’ll have to ask someone else if it’s good policy.”

In other words, get lost.

Is there anyone out there who would say it's good policy for a U.S. senator and presidential candidate to accept apparently tax-free gifts of almost a million dollars from a corporation — especially a corporation involved in providing lists of vulnerable elderly people to scam artists?

...

Clinton’s financial disclosure forms never mention the trips provided by Infousa and until the lawsuit was filed, the Clintons released no information about how much Bill was paid — only declaring that it was “more than $1000.”

My hypocrisy meter just blew a fuse! This the leading candidate from the political party that is always trying to stir and invoke "class envy"... and she wants to be elected POTUS so she can control how I and my fellow Americans live??

this lady is dangerous and if elected will hand this country over to our enemy

Hillary has gone overboard, she knows that these flights are better put into use by using them for rendition purposes.

theres actually a little more to it than that, she flew one place in a private jet, sent the jet back, so she could take another that had better appointments, back to the sae place she sent the fist jet........so, in effect a big waste of fuel....another one that talks the walk but doesn’t walk the walk.....

and the InfoUSA scandal, well it aint a scandal when it involves Bill taking this companies cash because he aint running, But when he campaigns for her thats okay, funny how that works eh? hes part of the field or the 2 for one scenario...yea okay whatever...

Hillary Clinton is a hypocrite who has nothing more than ultimate power in her mind. It is truly stunning to me that she has so much support, but that's your American sheeple for you these days. Anyone who can't see past her bullshit is just plain stupid

THIS IS REAL HOPE AND CHANGE!

This reminds of that discussion we were having about when it's time for the people to stand up and forcibly remove the foxes from the henhouse. I'd say the time is long since past as at this point our republic is merely a hollowed out shell of it's former self, with damn little left as to merit the spilling of blood.

Hillary has apparently followed all the rules here. Of course the rules are completely inadequate (purposely so) but I don't see that being addressed any time soon. By either party.

Maybe more stories like this will finally put to rest the myth that either of the clintons has ever been a "liberal" in the sense of not being in bed with big business.

I hope that all of the people who have publicly admonished Clinton in this thread did the same when the Bush ticket used the Enron jet during his election campaign in 2000, especially during the Florida debacle. We wouldn't want to be partisan now would we?

Oh but we would Noa, partisanship is what makes this board run!

By that point Rak, she will be the enemy....but don't worry, there ain't a chance she'd be elected President.

Oops, sorry; I forgot myself for a moment

How do you think that is going to happen? I haven't listened to Rush, Beck or O'Reilly lately so I don't know the latest.

I don't like Hillary Clinton anymore and don't think she should be president. This is a fine example of shes just another corrupt politician. That aside, what bothers me the most is that her positions just seem to be made up depending on what she thinks the most popular side to be on is. I don't feel she has any convictions of her own. Granted to get anywhere you need to politicize yourself to an extent but you must still have convictions of yoru own. Obama and to a lesser extent, Edwards do this job better.

Interesting...she thinks we're safer now then before 9-11, is she tsaking a swipe at her husband there?

At least she gets just that little much!
