Lincoln Chafee sez it: Hildebeest too corrupt to be president
It's a long record going back over decades of questionable ethical practices. People groan when I bring up Whitewater and all these things, the Rose Law Firm records; it seems like it never stops. Now, we are into the tenure of secretary of State and the emails and of course the Clinton Foundation donations at the same time the State Department is making critical decisions, combined with some of those donations by the Clinton Foundation. It's just too close and too many ethical questions. Over my 30-year record in public office, I've never had any ethical questions about my behavior. Well, good for him. There are a few critical points worth noting here. First, we are not talking about an isolated incident in Clinton's career. We are talking about endemic behavior, a pattern of conduct reinforced over decades. The has inverted the essence of public service. Rather than serve the voters she has used to her office and her potential candidacy to further her own political and financial interests. It undermines the notion of accountability and ultimately of democracy itself to say that corrupt, secretive and dishonest pols deserve our indulgence. Second, not everyone does it. Not all politicians are crooks; in fact no other politician behaves as she does. Posted by: Besoeker 2015-06-06 |
