After seeing SiCKO the other night, I can understand why Hillary's supporters would not like a certain scene that trashes her health care reputation. For those that pay attention to health care lobby money, it is common knowledge that Mrs. Clinton is one of top recipients of their blood money. It is especially painful for her when voters find this out because she is perceived as trying to fight the industry because of her work as First Lady back in 1994.
From The Washington Post:
Moore said after the premiere that movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, a personal friend and supporter of the Clintons whose company financed the film, "begged" him to remove a scene exposing Hillary Clinton as the second-highest recipient of campaign donations from the health-care industry.
"I said, 'No, Harvey. I gotta do the right thing.' He understood."
Moore said he didn't know whether the Clintons asked Weinstein to make the call.
The film describes her as "sexy" and "sassy" as photos of Clinton over the years are splashed on the screen.
After her health-care overhaul plan failed, Clinton went "silent" -- as Moore put it -- on the need for health-care changes. And then she began raking in the dough -- big time -- from the industry when she started running for office.
Good for Michael Moore. He did do the right thing by telling the story. This isn't Michael Moore's doing, the blame lies solely on Hillary and her ethics. The truth of the matter is that Hillary's credentials on health care don't amount to anything anymore.
