Hillary Wants Help

Her presidential bid may have ended two weeks ago, but Hillary Clinton is still on the hunt for campaign cash.

The New York Democrat is well over $20 million in debt, nearly half of which Clinton loaned herself personally earlier in the year when her campaign was virtually broke and faced life-or-death primary contests.

When it comes to recovering her personal loan, it's a race against the clock.

Under campaign finance laws spearhead by current presumptive Republican nominee John McCain, Clinton must pay herself back before the party's convention in late August, or else she is only allowed to receive $250,000.

So, let me get this straight.  She loaned herself millions of dollars, KNOWING that it’s possible to only get back $250k in repayment under the rules, and now she’s scrambling, and asking people who’ve already donated, for MORE money? 

The fucking NERVE of some people.  You mismanaged the money, and now you want people to fork over money to bail YOU out of the mess you created?  This is the kind of mentality that almost got the Democratic nomination AND possibly the White House.

Still think she would have been a good President?  She’s the one who wanted Universal Health Care and a ton of other programs that cost BILLIONS of dollars that most likely would have been just as mismanaged as her campaign.

Sorry Hillary, you knew the risks of your “loan”, and now you have to pay the piper.

Besides, didn’t your husband earn over $100 MILLION dollars in speaking fees?  If you can’t spare $10 million out of that insane amount of money, you’re an idiot, greedy, or both.
