(53,154 posts)to other politicians, only we won't because no one gives a shit. Where is the hue and cry about the money Kucinich takes in from Fox? All we heard about is how he needed that money.
This is a capitalist country. Capitalism isn't a sin for women and acceptable for men, or okay for people you like and not for people you don't. It's the nature of the economy. She has every right to raise money for her campaign, and it's pretty obvious THAT is what pisses you all off.
The money comes from rich patrons. You feel so put out that they are out some pocket cash? Clearly people here have no idea how university budges work and how speakers are paid for, but the fact is none of you actually care. It's just another chance to complain about Clinton, which is precisely why this whole outrage is worth exactly nothing.
