Clinton won’t seek repayment of $11.4 million loan

June
25

In her letter to donors sent out earlier today, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton assured them she won’t use their money to repay any of the $11.4 million in loans she gave to her unsuccessful campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“I’m not asking for anyone’s help to pay that back,’’ Clinton wrote. “That was my investment and my commitment because I believe so deeply in our cause. But I do need your help paying the debts we accrued to others over the course of this campaign. We put everything we had into winning this race,  and we came just about as close as you can.’’

At the end of May, Clinton’s campaign had $22.5 million in unpaid debts, according to a report filed last week with the Federal Election Commission. Among the biggest vendor debts is $4.6 million owed to Penn, Schoen & Berland Assoc. LLC, the consulting firm headed by former Clinton campaign strategist Mark Penn.

    Sen. Clinton should not take a hit for the loan she made to her campaign. Obama is responsible for the entire Campaign debt and he should pay this debt.

    Sen. Clinton’s campaign was sabotaged from beginning to end by the pro-Obama biased media, Obama himself, the Obama campaign, Obama surrogates, and the corrupt, rigged DNC. Because her exit was coerced, Sen.Clinton should be repaid her personal loan.

    The Democratic Party is corrupt; the Democratic nomination process is in need of radical reform with the elimination of superdelegates, caucuses and the delegate proportional allocation system. This reform would prevent the nomination from being rigged.

    With the nomination rigged for Obama by Dean, Pelosi and the corrupt DNC, which was unknown to Sen. Clinton, in hindsight, there was no purpose to her campaigning for the nomination and her volunteers were misled.

    No Hillary Soprano campaign was sabotaged by Bill. He never wanted her to run for president. He wanted her to stay in the senate. Bill was going out and making money. If she became president he could not go out and make MONEY.

    You see in the end their could only be ONE who was president not TWO.

    It was Bill stupid, not Hillary Soprano.
