January 5, 2004 -- DES MOINES, Iowa-Howard Dean acknowledged yesterday that he sold $15,000 in stock in five Vermont banks in 1991 after getting "inside information" from a state banking regulator soon after he became Vermont governor. Dean yesterday portrayed the sale as a bid to avoid a conflict of interest - not an attempt to profit from inside information.

Capitalist pig! should be a republican

I'm sorry, but this sort of thing is politically a nonevent.

Martha was rich and on top of her game, and specifically NOT a politician or a Wall Street insider, which is why she made such an excellent scapegoat.

Hillary Clinton did well on cattle futures for some odd reason and it did absolutely zero to her prospects of becoming Senator. She permanently lowered the bar.

The significance of this will not even register with his supporters - they won't get why this is even important - so the rest is simply huffing by people that do get it.

"Dean, whose net worth is listed at $4.2 million, is the son of a prominent Wall Street player, and regularly traded stocks - sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars in a single year- all through the 1990s, according to the Journal.

"The bank-stock sale could raise new questions about Dean's decision to seal many of his records as Vermont governor.

Lock him up with Martha!

I think Sky's post wasn't meant to antagonize us, but to make us aware of what is going on in the party.

We, as republicans, sit back and seethe as we watch time and time again a RAT getting a free pass on what a Pubber would get berated over.

Trent Lott is a racist yet Robert Byrd is praised. This is only one of many examples that we can look at and think what is F is wrong with America today.

I would say that Nuking NY to kill 6 million libs is a bit over the top, but I do understand the frustration because I share in it. It saddens me that our leadership is afraid to take the fight to the RATS.

Gephardt only changed his positions on issues after he became a "National Democrat". He has not changed anything since he discovered he could get all the nursing home vote in his district by providing the people who help fill out the absentee ballots. This is done through Joyce Aboussie's chain of influence. If Catholics had voted in accordance with their faith this could perhaps have been short-circuited, but alas we do not.

Confess. You're JohnHuang2 w/a new screen name. LOL

This is only coming out because it's being leaked from Kerry or Clinton operatives.

[Grampa Dave]

You must have my replies mistaken for someone else on this thread.

I just want to see Martha locked up for insider selling.

The Clinton campaign kicks into high gear against Howard Dean. More of this will come. Clark will be the nominee.

FREE MARTHA! .... NOW!

I don't really mean that! I'm being facetious. (While vacationing this past summer, I did happen to catch--in a bakery store window--a glimpse of a four-foot stuffed Pilsbury dough-boy holding a sign up that said "FREE MARTHA!" Struck me as humorous at the time.

Could get interesting

[Grampa Dave]

Martha is well past her "producing years".

Metrosexual Howie probably never had a "producing year".

[Grampa Dave]

One can only imagine the absolute horror of being locked up with Martha for years.
