"but BUSH was ASKED to sell by this buyer"

I guess that's the so-called fact that many of us would like to see verified. Some of us accept that, some of us don't.

A statement to that effect by the buyer, along with WHY it was so important to buy that large block of Harken, would possibly put this to rest.

Until that happens, some of us with the more cynical nature will continue to mistrust that assertion.

Tony Snow of Fox News just asked George's big buddy Don Evans, Commerce Secretary, why Bush won't release ALL of the SEC documents and the FULL SEC report. Evans response was something like; Listen, the American people are sick of this garbage, and want to put this behind us.

What administration did we hear say that over and over and over again? LOL!

Because, uhmmmm, maybe because about two-three years later the stock that Bush had sold at around 3.00 per share was selling at a little OVER 8.00 per share?

Think THAT had anything to do with it?

This "stunning drop" that supposedly Bush had inside information on was a ONE DAY affair more than TWO MONTHS after his sale. It dropped, RECOVERED the next day to around the previous level, then much more slowly dropped over a period of several years until it got very high later. Why are you so "worried" about Bush's sale two prior to the drop than the sales and buys THAT DAY and the next - when the money was made?

I'd be inclined to say that BUSH was the foolish one because HE didn't hang on to the stock until it made 8.00 per share.

Until that happens, some of us with the more cynical nature will continue to mistrust that assertion.

You mean the DNC won't stop beating this dead horse until it begins to stink, which it does at this late date but the DNC is so desperate for something to smear Bush with that they can't let it go, even when it has no political usefulness anymore. Idiots.

There is nothing illegal, unethical or dishonest about this Bush-Harkin stock sale and these grasping, hysterical attempts to somehow, someway make President Bush look like he may have done something wrong just won't fly, no matter how many cut and paste anti-Bush hatchet-job articles you cut and paste here from DU.

The only people who buy into this idea that a throughly investigated 12-year-old stock sale was somehow shady and/or unethical are those who despise President George W. Bush. The rest of America is already well on the way to getting bored. Shouting accusations with no basis doesn't work as well as it used to.

Democrats who think the public is in any way believing that President Bush is suddenly morphing into the criminal Bill Clinton because of a legal stock sale in 1990 are delusional.

Keep it up, you'll lose even bigger in November. Bush isn't Clinton, he didn't steal, cheat or lie about this non-issue, no laws were broken, no documents shredded, nothing went missing and any reasonable person can easily see that. Except Democrats.
