Bush is no saint but he's not the slime Clinton was (is) and demanding every scrap of paper from a 12-year-old, heavily investigated stock sale smacks of witch-hunting. If the broker told you who the buyer was, what then? This changes what? The sale was legal, no laws were broken and Bush acted ethically. What more do you want from him?
The casual dismissal of President Bush as just another politician is damning with faint praise and your pecking at this dead horse of a stock sale is very much in line with the Democrats campaign to smear Bush with anything they can find. No luck so far but they won't quit and they don't need any help from 'Bush voters' nattering about this legal, ethical sale of stock a dozen years ago.
Before you say it; yes, Bush is not above criticism, the law or ethics but no one ever said he was. If this stock sale had just recently come to light that would be a different story but it's been investigated and probed by not only the SEC but each one of his Democrat opponents every time he ran for office ('94, '98, 2000). If there was anything even slightly dubious about any aspect of the sale it would have been unearthed and trumpeted across the land by Gore in 2000 if not sooner by Texas Democrats.
There is nothing here. Democrat attempts to smear Bush are going on the assumption that since corporate scandals are in the news the Democrats can use that 'ol class envy to rile folks against 'big business' then - without a shred of evidence - call Bushs' legal, ethical stock trade in 1990 'suspicious' or 'questionable' (liberals love those murky terms) and declare that the President is 'just like the bad guys' and unable to 'lead' in cleaning up the corporate mess of cooked books and dishonest, corrupt CEO's.
Facts don't matter. Truth doesn't matter. To Daschel and company only making President Bush look dishonest matters and the lust for votes and power knows no bounds for these corrupt politicians that learned at the knee of the master of corruption, Bill Clinton. So the cry goes up that George W. Bush conducted a 'questionable' stock sale in 1990. "He's one of THEM" is the sneering accusation, truth be damned.
This won't wash with the American people as the facts belie the charge and Bush has shown himself to be a decent, honest man. Far from perfect of course but light-years from the corrupt Clinton and his henchmen in Congress now attempting to smear Bush yet again. You can claim to have voted for Bush and then join the Democrat chorus but you're howling in the wind here. Give it a rest.
