CNN: Congressional Insider-Trading Law Has Family Loophole

EXCERPT

The Senate bill did include a provision that covered spouses and children, Robert Walker, an ethics attorney and former chief counsel for both the House and Senate Ethics Committees explained to CNN.

However, he said, when the House version was written by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., this language was shifted to a different section of the bill.

In doing so, spouses and dependent children essentially became exempt from the reporting requirements.

The elite need to be removed and the house and senate needs to be fumigated.

We must vote for "The Man With the Big Red (R)" Beside his name.

“We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all.
Ronald Reagan, 1965
“I know here that you will agree with me that standing up for America also means standing up for the God who has so blessed our land. I believe this country hungers for a spiritual revival. I believe it longs to see traditional values reflected in public policy again. To those who cite the first amendment as reason for excluding God from more and more of our institutions and everyday life, may I just say: The first amendment of the Constitution was not written to protect the people of this country from religious values; it was written to protect religious values from government tyranny.”
- Ronald Reagan -
“Faith in God, patriotism, freedom, the love of freedom, family, work, neighborhood — the heart and soul of America’s past and the promise of her future. If we stand together and live up to these principles, we will not fail.”
- Ronald Reagan -

Okay, Liz, gotta disagree with you.

Stipulating to everything you posted about Cantor and "slating" and to everything in the other (Buchanan) thread about Sheldon Adelson, we nevertheless have to address a couple of things. And yes, I think tons of East Coast Jewish "moderates" really do dislike Flyover Americans, and hate Sarah and other conservative paragons. Like, for instance, the gutty and heroically outspoken Pamela Geller (Palin/Geller 2016!). And the late and lamented Andrew Breitbart (did you whack him, Barky?).

Okay, let's review.

Kicking conservatives to the curb---that's the neocon MO. They squat in the Republican Party---donate lots of money----and take control. And remember how the neocons duped Bush into the trillion dollar Iraq invasion?

You didn't have to be a "special needs student" to see what was the driver here ..... state-sponsored terrorism. Iraq had dabbled in it for years, and even if Saddam didn't specifically green-light 9/11 in his office, he'd done more than enough to earn his place on the sh*t list: he'd trained and fostered Ramzi Yousef, the WTC bomber of 1993 and mastermind of the abortive "Bojinka" airline slaughter. Yousef was also, it is said in some quarters, Terry Nichols and Timothy McVeigh's bomb-making instructor; when Nichols went to the Philippines and hooked up with Abu Sayyaf personalities known to his family (who knew a guy who knew a guy), Abu Sayyaf brought in Yousef to teach Nichols all about the finer points of building a really big ANFO truck-bomb. Which is precisely what the WTC bomb had been.

So there were lots of nasty threads that led back to Saddam's Mukhabarat even before one throws in references to Ansar al-Islam, Abu Nidal, and Abu Abbas. Or to 600 lbs. of ricin stored "to kill rats" in the Finsbury Park Mosque run by "Abu 'Orrible" the Taliwhacker imam with the hook.

For all I know, it was Tony Blair who nominated Saddam for the Big Rub-Out. That 600 lbs. of ricin would have killed a couple hundred thousand Londoners if it had ever made its way into London water supplies.

As for the Neocons being some sort of Machiavellian demiurges swishing around behind White House curtains like Polonius, poisoning the minds of Yalie Bonesmen in the Oval Orifice, keep in mind that "regime change in Iraq" had been official USG and British government policy since 1998, when Tony Blair and Slick had signed an MOU to that effect.

Too, the Neocons had written their white papers even while Bush I was still in office, urging that, in view of what Saddam had nearly achieved by seizing Kuwait (he could have screwed us all very, very hard by going all the way to Oman and grabbing off the entire southern shore of the Persian Gulf), it would be better if Saddam's regime disappeared from the map of the Middle East.

Then there's the human factor, which, when we are discussing George W. Bush in particular, we had best not overlook. Remember that he exercises regularly with his veterans and never, ever forgets what they left in The Sandbox while carrying out his orders; and that he shows every sign of being a humane and dutiful man in sharp contrast to his feckless and worthless successor and predecessor.

So that brings us to the weeping Kurdish woman that some heartless newsie ambush-interviewed one day in 1991 as she stumbled along a road in northern Iraq, away from Irbil and the massacre just that morning of her family. She was walking with the rest of the fleeing refugees, in the general direction of the Iranian border, weeping piteously and inconsolably for her lost children, husband, and in-laws. In the middle of all this she burst out, "Are we not human beings? Are we not people?" Half a world away, I could not look at her -- I turned my head aside, literally, like a dog getting his nose swatted with a magazine for messing on the carpet. I couldn't listen to this woman's just complaint against America, which had entered the arena with trumpets and the sounds of crushing victory, only to walk out again and leave her to the devices of a vindictive tyrant whose arms we had allowed him to retain -- and which he had promptly turned on her and her people.

I like to think that somewhere in the world, Dubya heard her, too, and made a destinating decision about what he was going to do about it. (Okay, go ahead and say it: "Dumb Texan.")
