I can see you like to change the subject rather than engage in the actual discussion. Have a nice day.

Bob Dole sacrificed the use of a limb fighting for Americans in WWII. He above all had every right to comment on John Kerry's unfitness for command as POTUS.

Hillary's Hsu Strings By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY \| Posted Tuesday, September 11, 2007 4:20 PM PT Campaign '08: To grasp why Norman Hsu's unlawful "fundraising" for Sen. Hillary Clinton is so scandalous, consider this from a woman who says Hsu pressured her to give big to Clinton: "I can't stand the woman." Democratic senator and presidential candidate Clinton is returning one of the largest amounts of money in the history of U.S. campaigns. Roughly 260 donors associated with the Hong Kong-born Hsu, a suspected Ponzi scheme mastermind, will get back about $850,000 in tainted donations. Hsu is suspected of pressuring his client/victims to become straw donors to Clinton and other Democrats. Skipping court after pleading no contest in 1991 to a grand theft charge of defrauding investors of more than $1 million, Hsu fled abroad then returned to the U.S. He failed to appear before a California court last week and is presently hospitalized in Colorado after being discovered ill in a train's sleeper car. The New York Times reported Sunday that "Components Ltd., a company controlled by Mr. Hsu that has no obvious business purpose and appears to exist only on paper," has paid more than $100,000 to at least nine people who donated funds to Clinton and others. Hsu has raised more than $1 million for Democrats. The Los Angeles Times interviewed one investor who said she "can't stand" Hillary, but made donations "solely to stay in Hsu's good graces" and knew others who did the same. "They knew they had to do it or they were out," she said. People forced to give to political causes and candidates they abhor — is there anything more un-American? But that marks only the beginning of the concerns: • Why would a suspected swindler be a top donor to a White House favorite? Is Hsu fronting for a group, a foreign government? • Why did Clinton ignore warnings about Hsu? California businessman Jack Cassidy reportedly alerted the Clinton campaign in June of his suspicions that Hsu was a fraudster. • The Clinton campaign is accepting future contributions from the same people to whom, because of their associations with Hsu, it is returning $850,000. That amounts to a shell game. • The Jack Abramoff scandal dominated the headlines last year. Why do the media suddenly become less interested in campaign finance improprieties when the violator is a Democrat? HsuGate is a flashback to the scandals of Clinton's husband — John Huang and the Buddhist temple; Johnny Chung transferring cash for a Red Chinese military officer, including $50,000 delivered directly to the then-first lady's chief of staff; Charlie Trie, who was cozy with a front firm for the Chinese military. Does funny money run in the family?
