Normal people.

Is John Edwards normal?

Ever notice how some people say "Democrat party" instead of Democratic Party? It is a talking point that the Far Right is supposed to repeat over and over in public.

I don't see how this is insulting as you and others seem to claim?

I do see how it is easy to be honestly confused and make the mistake of saying "Democrat Party". Why are people of that party referred to as "Democrats"? (Even they themselves say that). If you're a "Democrat", doesn't it seem normal for people to refer to the party as the "Democrat Party"?

If they are from the Democratic Party, then perhaps we should refer to them as Democratics, instead of Democrats to eliminate confusion, no?

Once again the wacko Hillary haters are invested in thinking they finally have Hillary by the short hairs. Long odds it will be another disappointment.

But what the hey, let them set themselves up for another depressing ending. They ought to be used to it by now. Manic depressives have all the fun part of the time.

While I can't speak for the "wacko Hillary haters", personally I don't see much other than the typical slimy politics as usual. I don't expect it to bring down her candidancy. I do suppose she may lose some support from the left who dispise that sort of business as usual. She has no support from the right to lose.

But as so often in Washington DC, it's not the *trouble* you got into that is your undoing, but rather the efforts taken to get out of the original problem are the downfall.

I wanna know WHO she gave the money back to. Hsu? The postman & his family? Who? Bill's library?

Who & how she gives the money back to may be more important than the fact she took it from a felon in the first place. I would've thought it should be put in escrow until this scammer and his victims can be sorted out. If she somehow gave it to someone who re-donated it back to her campaign, or Bill's library, things could get ugly.

If it's the postman etc, I smell an IRS tax audit.

Hsu "Didn't Intend" To Skip Bail, Spokesman Says

Disgraced Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu was "sick and confused" and may have mistakenly boarded a train that took him out of San Mateo County, where he had a court date, his spokesman said Tuesday.

I can see that. After all, who here hasn't mistakenly stumbled about a train and missed their court date in the process at least once in their life?

Of course, one gets on the train and purchases a ticket to a place 1000 miles away without knowing what you are doing.

Wow, I had no idea Hsu had a spokesman to further confuse issues. But Hsu seems to be waiving extradition so California should soon get their hands on him. And some Orange County California investors may want a piece of Hsu also. But we are unlikely to learn much more until Hsu hits court in California. Do I smell an insanity plea upcoming? With
court ordered Psychiatric evaluations also eating up time.
 
Mr. Danielczyk said some of the attendees were Republicans, but "they may vote for her [Mrs. Clinton] now." He added, "It's odd ... You try to get involved in the political process and you come under scrutiny."

Well get a clue, if you get caught doing something illegal, you should come under scrutiny. The issue is if Danielczyk is laundering corporate contributions through a private event. And at this points its a he said between donors. Let the facts come out.
 
Norman Hsu Charged With Fraud In New York

NEW YORK (AP) - Federal prosecutors unsealed a criminal complaint Thursday charging Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu with breaking campaign finance laws and creating a "massive" Ponzi scheme.

The complaint says Hsu?who raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton and others?violated campaign finance laws by making contributions to candidates in other people's names and perpetrated a Ponzi scheme to defraud victims across the United States of more than $60 million.
 
ohhhhh here we go againnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB119025305222133413.html">When Hillary Rodham Clinton held an intimate fund-raising event at her Washington home in late March, Pamela Layton donated $4,600, the maximum allowed by law, to Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign.

But the 37-year-old Ms. Layton says she and her husband were reimbursed by her husband's boss for the donations. "It wasn't personal money. It was all corporate money," Mrs. Layton said outside her home here. "I don't even like Hillary. I'm a Republican."

The boss is William Danielczyk, founder of a Washington-area private-equity firm and a major fund-raising "bundler" for Mrs. Clinton</a>

Asked about the donations bundled by Mr. Danielczyk, Mrs. Clinton's campaign said yesterday it would return the $9,200 donated by Mr. and Mrs. Layton.

this has legs folks.....the WSJ probably has a team working on this like crazy,, it's gonna keep coming out drip drip drip.....

the Edwards team is using it...

yep, politic is a blood sport...
 
While this scandal keeps expanding and dripping along - I hope the media and others don't let Hillary get away with not returning the money she said she would. I haven't seen anything that suggest the money has been returned.

Same NY Times that helped sell Iraq war? I don't read it.

Is there a media that you would accept as reporting the story?
Click to expand...

Well, I accept them all reporting it, but media nowadays is way too sensationalist for me to take any of them seriously. They want to make this a Clinton story, because that's the only way this story has any legs and helps sell papers. So they have their own agenda when reporting it.

That's because it is a Clinton story.

Hsu's money overwhelmingly went to Hillary Clinton.

Yeah, and if his money went overwhelmingly to buy Ferraris, would it be a Ferrari story?
 
I see heart surgeon said with some evident delight----yep, politic is a blood sport.

As I said in earlier posts, I expect all candidates of both parties to be well blooded before it gets even close to 11/08.

You seem to enjoy dishing it out but how will you like it when you are on the receiving end?

Time indeed will tell.
