Hello.

Being new here, you probably think this is the very first time that someone with your intellectual depth and understanding has posted this on Free Republic.

It's not.

Goodbye.

dubya was never successful in biz w/o EXTREME favoritism/NEPOTISM, of which we 'regular'folk cannot partake-makes me laugh when 'they' say he was a successful biz guy.
and while i'm spoutin: let's face it: HE SCHEMED TO AVOID VIET NAM....
BUT he's the best President in a long time....what Presidential timber we raise in this country!

And it smells bad....

The Harkin connection has been chewed over dozens of times. Not even the pussies in Algore's campaign could get milage out of it.

The Center for Public Integrity also
screeched loudly that Enron is just
another name for "Bush". No mention of
the Clinton-Lay golf outings nor fave
actions that pumped up Enron nor that
Enron hid stuff during Clinton, then
collapsed when Bush people refused to
help them. CPI accuses Bush of killing
people by not regulating more, and it
is mad that CFR didn't go FAR ENOUGH!
Visit their website, as I did, then
try to convince us they're nonpartisan
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!

I am not trashing Bush. I simply posted an interesting and informative article.

Thanks so much for the post.

Now, as you seem to be in the business of posting interesting and informative articles on this subject, would you please be so kind as to provide a link to several dealing with cattle futures profits made by NY Senators?

Sorry, but I notice your choice in keywords gives you away...

Seems like Bush made some good business decisions. My nephew, Patrick, also made a few dollars on his Harkin investment. Although Patrick doesn't have an MBA like Bush does, he will occasionally take a flier on an interesting investment. Since I bankrolled Patrick, I too made a few bucks. Does that make me an bad person?

Touche, a kernel of turth.

So what was the rest of the article for? Increasing WCOM's traffic, therby driving up revenues, and hopefully increasing WCOM stock price? Must be.

If President Bush made money buying and selling investments prior to becoming President, as so many of our citizens did and tried to do in the 90's, is that better or worse than Clinton did in making money while holding the office of President? What did that vile person do to acquire his riches while in office?

Good work Dales! The "Streisand Foundation" 'nuff said.

[Reagan Man]

Now that you've slandered President Bush with outrageous and untrue allegations, what will you do for an encore?

For some reason you truly believe this rhetoric improves your credibility among most FReepers. I've got news for you it doesn't. His approval rating is 84% on FR.

These are just more rehashed Bush bashing "opinions" I'd say!

A whole lotta Barbra Streisand!

Goodbye No Current Freeper By That Name

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Friends of PBS ?

[Auntie Mame]

I'm very glad this "article" was posted. It's a perfect example of how desperate the lefties are and we've now been informed that "The Center for Public Integrity" (the name sounds good, doesn't it?) is a lefist organization. Good job, poster. We need to be kept informed about what the enemy is up to.

[apochromat]

Very smirk-inducing story. Everyone knows that politics is the auction of goods prior to stealing them, right?

[doug from upland]

You Clinton-defending scum-suckers may spend your time playing with yourselves and attacking our president. The rest of us are concerned with the war and defending our country.

Liberals have a tendancy to write really long articles - they be educated ya know.
Psst.... pardon, your bias is showing.
