hmmm... Hillary on the board of Wal Mart? Let me look....


Ok...I see. She was in Arkansas, where Wal-Mart started..
but...
February 3, 2006
"WASHINGTON -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton gathered checks from Hollywood friends, John Kerry's wife and even a former Republican congressman, but records filed Friday show she returned cash from an even older ally -- Wal-Mart...

Clinton returned $5,000 to the political action committee of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., a company with long ties to the Clintons dating back to their days in Arkansas, where Wal-Mart is headquartered.

Clinton campaign spokeswoman Ann Lewis said the money was returned "because of serious differences with current company practices."

The senator served on the Wal-Mart board from 1986 to 1992, and was close with the Walton family that created the nation's largest retailer.

But the senator signaled a new stance on the company's business practices in a speech last week, when she told the U.S. Conference of Mayors that the company should provide better worker benefits."

The more one investigates, the more confusing it gets. With the internet to read, there are 27 positions and opinions on every issue. What IS a sincere voter to do in order to make an informed decision?

For some reason, lots of people are liking her...and yes, almost as many dislike her strongly. I have seen her roundly put down because she is *gasp* "ambitious"!! I don't believe I have seen any of the male candidates accused of that. Curious.
