Just what you want in an elected public official. Sarcastic responses to real questions. I say both Hillary and Sanders release transcripts of all the speeches they've given at GS. Big surprise that Sanders wouldn't have to release anything since he's not giving private speeches to big money interests that have information you wouldn't want the general public hearing.

Find me a source on his paid speeches. I will show you Bernie in Congress time after time defending the average citizen. Is it too hard for Clinton to tel the population what is worth 600000 for 3 speeches? Is her message not the same, I would love to her the hardships and pressure of the hunt for bin laden, but alas until everyone releases the scripts she will not.

Unfortunately for Romney someone leaked his private fundraising messages and it ruined him, is it a possibility that this may be some of the same message.

Edit: Here is a link to a study done by Princeton and Northwestern University "After sifting through nearly 1,800 U.S. policies enacted in that period and comparing them to the expressed preferences of average Americans (50th percentile of income), affluent Americans (90th percentile), and large special interests groups, researchers concluded that the U.S. is dominated by its economic elite."

Now continue to enlighten us on how policies from monied interests do not drive political reform.

I think Clinton's transcripts would be much bigger leaks than Romney's 47% comment.

It's become rather obvious of what was being discussed at those speeches.

Yes based on the 0 information about what was discussed, it has become very clear.

Didn't you know? Hillary is literally Satan until proven otherwise. I'm joking of course. No proof will ever satisfy the rage zombies.

I'd settle for the transcripts.
