The level of spin on this little thread is A-Mazing.

And, no. Not ALL politicians have public positions that are the exact opposite of their private positions. However, this does seem to be the case with Hillary. Here's her PRIVATE position in a PRIVATE speech she gave some banksters after being paid a few hundred thousand.

"*Clinton: As Senator, “I Represented And Worked With” So Many On Wall Street And “Did All I Could To Make Sure They Continued To Prosper”"

______________________________________

NOTE: the above are Hillary's own words, not Fox propaganda or Lou Dobbs interpretation. This is Hillary at her most 'private'.

That's kind of out of context.  Here is the full line...

"But even thought I represented them and did all I could to make sure they continued to prosper, I called for closing the carried interest loophole and addressing skyrocketing CEO pay."

That certainly seems less sinister now, doesn't it?  And if we take the full paragraph...

" When I was a Senator from New York, I represented and worked with so many talented principled people who made their living in finance. But even thought I represented them and did all I could to make sure they continued to prosper, I called for closing the carried interest loophole and addressing skyrocketing CEO pay. I also was calling in '06, '07 for doing something about the mortgage crisis, because I saw every day from Wall Street literally to main streets across New York how a well-functioning financial system is essential. So when I raised early warnings about early warnings about subprime mortgages and called for regulating derivatives and over complex financial products, I didn't get some big arguments, because people sort of said, no, that makes sense. But boy, have we had fights about it ever since.”

I'm not seeing anything damning here.  Do you?
