Pelosi Bashes Catholics: 'They Have This Conscience Thing'... After having some of her behind the scenes shenanigans exposed, Nancy Pelosi has turned to her friends in the MSM to help her with damage control. The effect is something akin to watching what scrambles out after you overturn a large rock.
Pelosi sought to defend herself from allegations that she and her husband made millions from insider trading in what the Washington Post calls a wide ranging interview ..
Pelosi added a startling, if inadvertent, admission. Addressing the effects such [ObamaCare] legislation would have on Catholic health care providers, Pelosi said:
"I'm a devout Catholic and I honor my faith and love it . . . but they have this conscience thing."

That was 14 years ago. From 2001-06 the GOP held both houses of Congress and the Presidency and could have easily enacted this, had they wanted to.
Now, Eric Cantor is holding insder trading legislation for Congress up.
I’m more concerned about what the congresscritters do with OUR money, than what they do with their’s, but they should have to live under the same laws as the rest of us.
I wonder if botox suppresses one’s value system and or makes one delusional?
You dpn’t have to make it illegal..merely require, as EVERY principal employee of any brokerage firm is required to do, to have them post online the same day ANY trade or financial transaction into which they enter..that will solve the problem..
Rick Perry’s shady real estate and corporate crony deals are exempt. /s/
