    http://www.google.com/url?url=http:/...emSb94osHF79Sg i think the VISA ipo nicely outlines individual profit and the rise of asbestos related stocks the night before a bill was introduced is proof enough for me of the corrupt nature of political intelligence. It's bad enough a hedge fund manager through arcane loopholes pays the tax rate of a wall mart greeter but on top of it they game the system in what should be an illegal industry to guarentee returns. A truly bipartisan operation rotten to the core. At least the parties seem to be able to work well together when it comes to screwing investors in stocks. The bill will die, there will be no conference committee and if it does pass the insider trading political intelligence non lobbyists will be unmentioned

    Aren't any democrats corrupt and I thought you were a-political or as dale put it a political nihilist, decrying the evils off all political parties?

    Disingenuous much?

    Where did I bestow the righteousness of democrats? If you cared to rehash my posts over the years concerning democrats you would be embarrassed at the "disingenuous" remark.
    ALL political parties? There is more than just democrats and republicans. Getting rid of those two parties really wouldn't be the end of the world. All I did was warn Roosy of the dangers of making the republicans look bad on the WAB.

    What's your reason for posting a bunch of reader comments? We already know cyberspace is chock full of crude halfwits.

    I believe my point is self evident. Between you and antimony the usual suspects have been covered. Kind of amazing how fast the names came up and I didn't have to name any of them. You answered at least part of your own question. I wouldn't include JAD though. He is keeping to the high road. Nor would I have included you but for some reason you are riding me on this thread. What gives?

    So, you contend I, Dale, zraver and GunGrape hate roosie for, let's see " exposing any stories that make republicans anything but honorable knights in shining armor who exist only to save America from those evil, morally bankrupt, self absorbed, commie pinko, muslim, Kenyan born, democrats."

    Where's your evidence for that?

    I am not playing your game Pari. If you have something to say than do so. There is no point in derailing this thread.

    It's not a game and I had thought I had been perfectly obvious, nevertheless I will spell it out.
    You've attributed a position to the few conservatives on this board that is simply not true. It is simply trolling and flame baiting. I have no intention of a pressing a report button and indulging in furious pm's in some sort of grand tally.
    I simply expect to be treated with the same respect that I give, as I'm sure the others do as well.
    So maybe you should consider acting as a grown up, in just the way we treat you, or bugger off and find a child board where such activity is de rigueur.

    I miss the days when it was a bunch of us conservatives yelling at each other about HOW to be conservative "the right way" instead of the constant "explain to me why communism is bad first, before any discussion takes place about HOW commie this particular idea is".

    BH:

    There's the match that lighted the fire.

    Two things in it appear demeaning: 1) That the conservatives or Republicans hereabouts only want to hear good things about their beliefs and 2) that they see themselves as champions of the fair maiden Guenivere, but, by implication, are not.

    Now, personally, I thought it was kind of funny. For one thing, the crap RR posted would impress neither an informed liberal nor an informed conservative. They both know both sides harbor dirt. The real debate is over the present state of things and whether the country is heading in the right direction. We need to listen to anyone who can talk intelligently on the subject, if we care. The junk RR posted is basically junk we can shunt down the waste chute because it doesn't answer the mail. I guess that's what you mean by the high road. For me, it's the middle road. (And, also, moderators have to watch their Ps & Qs., don't they?)

    One final thought. I've spent a lot of time in the last 3 years checking out viral emails about Obama, and I have no problem with exposing them when they're false. None of the conservatives hereabout to my knowledge knowingly pedal that kind of crap, although they can be somewhat salty in characterizing him, Pelosi and the rest.

    No worries.

    I'm kind of surprised the reaction is "who is conservative" rather than "throw the bums out"
