The Blind Trust - Allowing Politicians To Have It Both Ways

Talking out of both sides of their mouth is a skill so many politicians acquire. John Edwards has proudly admonished Walmart for its capitalistic ways, underpaying employees and providing little health insurance…and making money for investors. Yet, when the Playstation 3 first came out, he sent a campaign helper out to a Walmart to get one of the first units!

Another way for politicians to talk from both sides of their mouth is to invest in a blind trust. Bill and Mrs. Bill Clinton recently cashed out a blind trust worth up to $25 million. Mrs. Bill Clinton is running for President, so they need to clear any accounts that may show a conflict of interest.

What is a blind trust? A blind trust is an account that allows a politician to invest his/her money with an investor who is obligated not to inform the politician of the company his/her money is being invested in. That way, the politician can deny knowledge of what companies he/she is investing in. It stinks of dishonesty from the get go.

What do you suppose the Clinton’s blind trust made money from. That would be Walmart, “evil” oil and drug companies and military contractors. Hmmm..no conflict of interest there! So these two faced politicians have a way to profit from the evil industries they insist are hurting Americans. In other words, they are full of s**t.

I’m sure it’s not just Democrats performing this trickery. There are surely dishonest Republicans playing this game as well. The Clintons are the ones being reported on now. I’d like to have a full disclosure of who is using this seedy investment process throughout Congress. That would be a fun read!

Liberal friends, your god and goddess have shown their true face. I’m sure you could care less. Dishonesty is the foundation of liberalism. Trick your followers. It’s the only way you can win. Pitiful!
