particularly doesn t wear well when it s something people are already concerned about. doris, eight years ago, democrats were hammering publically about this. this time they are doing it privately. i heard an earful last night from various democrats, some who work in the clinton campaign that said why is she still taking foreign donations? why is the foundation they narrowed it down, now they are going to take them from european countries in canada. they got rid of some of the despot states. that s the stuff that boggles the mind. they re afraid of speaking out. i think what still boggles the mind, why doesn t hillary deal with this herself right now. when you have mitt romney saying this is bribery, bribery means theft, robbery means taking favors to do something corrupt. you can t let that charge stand and simply say, it s the wrong people telling it. when teddy roosevelt was assumed similarly in 1904 giving favors to big corporations and promising he wouldn t do anti-trust, he
