If it turns out to be true that Frist & DeLay had Day Traders working out

of their offices. The Country should demand that they are out of the Capital by the weekend.
I am sick of playing nice with these crooks. What will it take?

We should ask all democratic senators & reps to walk out of the capital and shut it down until
both DeLay & Frist are gone. That is if the story turns out to be true.

9. Thanks. That's interesting.

2. I totally agree. Time to take a stand against corruption.

And there is absolutely no time better than right before the State of the Nation speech for Democrats to stand united against the C grade that *co has brought us before it turns into all F's.

4. Rep. Slaughter says

I pray to God that she's not being set-up by the master.....

5. That is my worry. They would do anything to control the message.

I think it is highly unlikely. Could be the asshole was buying stock for himself. Could be he had been a day-trader in another life. The rules are pretty clear on this.

All the rumours that get spread and are then debunked - just make the Dem message look un-informed. I say we wait a bit. Wait for some actual proof.

I would think too that the odds a day trader (a former one) is working for a Repuke on the hill is about 100%.

So easy enough to start a lie based on a little bit of true. That is what the GOP politicos have done in the past. Remember - McCain "father a black child" being his adopted baby from Thailand.

Be discerning.

6. no, that's not my point.

If this is true, demand an Independent Investigator immediately.

If members of the Republican Syndicate are making trades immediately before and after votes, I have a real problem with that. I don't doubt that this pattern of corruption is infested in the both the Executive and the Congressional branches. Bush, after all, is quite familiar with the practice of insider trading. But are these guys that stupid that they'd run an investment house in their offices?

If the odds are 100% that Republicans have day traders on the hill, then I'm pretty sure they are breaking the law 100%.

My only concern is, is the evidence be bullet-proof?.... because I do smell Rove all over this.

7. My point is that all they would need is a former day trader to cause

a story that would dominate while abramoff should be in the news. There would not have to be any proof that laws were broken for the story to gain steam. And it would be proven wrong. Which is what the Repukes need right now. So far all the accusations have been true.

8. You are so right. Everybody knows what that means.

Pictures would help, testimonials from those who did it would finalize things.

I can't imagine how crooked these people are.
