Norman Hsu is the gift that keeps on giving, and now it isn't just the money to Democratic campaigns, it's a never ending series of headlines. And now he's skipped another hearing and is currently on the run. Even his lawyers don't know where he is:
Hsu's attorneys say they do not know his whereabouts, and that their client did not surrender his passport.In light of this, I would think it would certainly be appropriate for Hillary and the rest of the Democrats to return all the money from this scam artist, including and especially those that were received from his bundlers, such as the Paws of Los Angeles.
Hsu turned himself in to authorities last week after more than 15 years on the run from a felony conviction of grand theft. He admitted to defrauding investors of $1 million in a bogus investment scam.
He failed to appear in court for sentencing on that 1991 conviction, a revelation that prompted high profile Democrats -- including presidential candidate Hillary Clinton -- to return thousands of dollars donated by Hsu.

16. Brent, get a grip!! If you can't see the problem with HRC I see no hope for you. If Dems have any hope of success in 08 they had best bring an honest candidate to the "show". gh

17. I'll toss one out for consideration.....Fred Thompson gets the nomination and takes Rudy as his VP running mate. I think thats a team that be hard to beat and also but a team that is just what America needs right now

18. Another associate/criminal attached to the Clintons. I guess the Democrat Party just does not get it.....we want an HONEST LEADERSHIP....that eliminates Lady Clinton...

19. BRENT- You sound like the typical Democrat......all the excuses in the world for Hillary and her dishonest life.....and all the criticism for Republicans. I suppose we will next hear that President Bush and Vice President Cheney actually flew the planes that crashed into the WTC.....and they parachuted out just before the planes hit the towers.....and it was Hillary who wrote the Constitution and Bill of Rights

20. All this time the Democrates have been Judging. This past year reminds me of the Carter Administration and it will soon be America's turn to judge.
First, how much are the Democrats getting from the Oil Companies for allowing the fixing of gasoline prices? You know in earlier years executives went to jail in this country for fixing prices.
Also, who got their fingers into our Social Security retirment funds? And, who will get into the 401K's?

21. here we go again....being self-rightious and know it all. stop and think. this guy has been donating to the demo party....but of course, it is hillary's fault. yea rite. get over your self. all the monies that come in to ANY and ALL campaigns is accepted and not flagged unless it goes over a certain amount. get some brain and learn how the process of running a campaign goes. so this guy can keep on giving without a flag popping up. do you know how much money comes in at one time for any campaign? bet you not...but you of course have an oppinion without any knowledge.
now....lets look at our alaskan senator who got a house built for favors....now, that is a one on one transaction. what do the rightious call that?
GO HILLARY.! bring bill back home............

22. To bad he didn't take Hillary with him, all the bad she's done and continues to do they could both be on the run. i would bet she gave the money back to her own personal charity, can't see her giving up a dime.

23. This sounds alot like the WHITEWATER charges that were unsubstantiated after the millions of dollars that the Republicans had the tax payers pay to persecute the Clintons. Not to mention the millions spent on Bill's exploits. But where are they now, with GW's lies? OH YA, they are backing him.... or now backing away from him, now that it is re-election time again. Also please note that it says "thousands" of dollars to Hillary, not tens or hundreds or millions, cuz you know "those media people" would make it the worst possible amount when they "make up their stories".

24. Raymond T ODonnell, where have you been these last years? GAS PRICE FIXING = REPUBLICANS

25. Does anyone remember all the stuff the Clinton's stole from the White House and Air Force One? Does anyone remember the trouble they had in Ark? Did that one guy kill himself or was his killed by the powers of the president and his wife? I don't want to vote for Clinton but Obama just doesn't have the experience to be president. Then again "LIL Bush" didn't have it either...but he had people around him that were corrupt to help him. I really don't know who to vote for!

26. I think everyone should get off their high, judgemental horses. No one is perfect and everyone makes misteaks. Hilery has just as good of a chance as anyone else. And look at the state of our country after 2 terms of Bush. The press has nothing better to do than spread their worthless propaganda. They change the facts and will write anything about anything without all the facts or their version of the facts.

27. It took the govn't 15 years to find Hsu until some loser repubs were degging dirt on Hillary and came up with nothing but Hsu. I guess it will take another fifteen years to find him.

28. Did you watch Repub debate? Not one member of the repub focus group was happy. They were so disappointed in that debate including Fox reporters.

29. Anyone with a brain wouldn't have voted for Bush the second time. Anyone with a brain will not support this administraion that's full of lies.
