Taking issue on her ties with lobbyists of the pharmaceutical industry, Obama & Edwards are picking on poor Hillary the Hypocrite again. Refusing donations from lobbyist's, Edwards & Obama are again giving the candidate that wanted to give away 40 acres & a mule a hard time.
With a wave of her wand, Hillabeans dismisses their attack with insulting everyday Americans by comparing them to lobbyists -
"A lot of those lobbyists, whether you like it or not, represent real Americans. They represent nurses, they represent social workers—yes, they represent corporations that employ a lot of people."
Hillacrite has received more money from lobbyist's representing pharmaceutical & health products than any other Democrat or Republican candidate to date ~ (Click here for list). But as usual, Hilllacrite - darling of the medical industry lobbyists - may not be accurate in her assertions....
From Capital Eye --
In total, 353 federally registered lobbyists (including those working at lobbying firms or in-house for corporations, unions and associations) contributed at least $787,300 to Clinton's presidential campaign in the first nine months of this year, more than they gave to any other candidate, in either party. Lobbyists who represent health professionals, including the nurses Clinton singled out, account for $82,805 in contributions to her, while those representing the pharmaceutical industry paid out $562,900.
Only 14 lobbyists who gave to Clinton reported representing health professionals, compared to 76 who represented the pharmaceutical industry. Nine lobbyists who gave to the New York senator represent clients from both groups. Of contributions listed on campaign finance reports, Clinton has not received a single donation from lobbyists working for the two largest trade groups representing the working-class Americans she cited in August, the American Nurses Association and the National
Association of Social Workers. More....
Appearing to be bought and paid for by these lobby groups and with health care being one of the single most issues hurting the United States today, ANYONE who believes she will fix health care should get a free lobotomy!
Agreed!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad someone's got it straight!
Isn't it also possible that Hillary receives so much money from Pharmaceuticals and Health Products because they believe she has the best health care plan?
ReplyDeleteMichelle - thanks for taking the time to read my post and leaving a comment.
ReplyDeleteJoseph - thanks for stopping in again. To respond to your comment...
Anything is possible. Rosie looking good in a thong is possible, just not highly probable. (Oh God - after this comment I have to go gouge my eyes from the visual!)
I would tend to say that these lobbyists/companies are giving to her because they figure she will best protect their interests.
Their interests being to continue fleecing the American public in the name of Health Care.
When health care costs need to be cut, why would they give their money to someone who supports reform? Common sense says they wouldn't.
The best health care plan for this nation is NOT to give free health care to illegals, and every kid. It may sound cold, but it is not responsible government.
People in this country do not mind helping the worse off. I am not against funding & sibsidies for health care to help someone.
But I am against all the hospitals claiming bullshit non profit status, insurance and medical executives getting ridiculous bonuses, from the benefit of our tax dollars.
I am against insurance companies raising rates because of higher medical costs, then resisting to pay claims.
Would it be to far of a stretch to say maybe the health insurance companies, doctors, and pharmaceutical companies are all in bed with each other?
Making Hillsap just their Chamber Maid!
