we have found and watched how filthy our government is , we are also finding they have enacted laws to cover their ass , self protection runs deep , we need to take them bodily to the curb with no sevrance pay , no retirement , no medical let them like we do , barney frank is going to retire can you believe this?????? he is far worse than madoff , he should retire to jail as the father of our downfall , obama should go to jail as the father of fast and furious , he has blood on his hands BUT they all have this failsafe that they have covered themselves with and we cannot touch them and we have to wait and watch as they destroy until we can vote them out , IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE ???????? GO to washington and throw the bums out
oBAMA;CLINTON all play the good cop bad cop game;; they publicly act out raged at wall street as they all get rich, this is capitalism GONE BAD and it gives Obumnuts fuel to use on all the really honest business men and women;; Our society is so morally bankrupt it may be too late to turn this around.
The reason all these vile lawmakes have gotten by with crimes against humanity is largely due to the vile MSM who no longer reports truth but lies, denigrations and covers up all the transgressions of politicians. Look what the media has done to decent people i.e. Sarah Palin, recently Herman Cain (and in both cases no proof) Michelle Bachman – and Newt is next. They don’t print stories, or investigate Obama’s probable constitutional ineligibility or Obama’s homosexuality or his trip to Pakistan on another passport, not US; nor the fact that he has sequestered all of his records, nor did Pelosi and Congress demand he release them; nor his fake social security numbers from Conneticut (where he has never lived);or the fact that we have a president (who took an oath to protect the citizens of this country) has sued the state of Arizona for trying to do that; or Hilary’s actions now against the 2nd amendment taking it to the UN; or the missing souls from Clinton’s presidency; orNancy Pelosi’s many actions and now saying she will reveal “dirt” on Newt – (which is like the pot calling the kettle black); or the truth about Barney Franks/Chris Dodd’s actions causing the housing market to fail. I could go on and on but until the day comes when citizens rise up and refuse to watch the networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, as well as NPR and CNN which have all received “contibutions from Soros” we will never hear the truth. Boycott these networks as well as their advertisers and things will change. Or Citizens quit being apathetic and either join the Tea Parties and protest and march – little will change.
I’m afraid Jesus is the only cure and I pray He comes quickly. Before some clown takes justice etc. Though who could blame? The whole of congress puke pretty words that tickle the ears yet they have Satan on their shoulder. It is a shame these people have the opportunity to correct all the wrongs of the past administrations and deal with them justly yet they join the corruption and condemn themselves to hell and Gods children to a few more years of missery putting up with their decrepit selves and filthy lies.
You are the one percent who is rightfully looking to God for the answer, only repentance will turn things around but in the big picture we may be out of time, and we do know for a fact at some point we will have a global system to deal with..
Should be easy to find out if an incumbent congress- critter has increased his net worth while in office. This could well be a deciding factor on who to vote for and a discussion point with other voters.
How much do you have to hear about these “lawmakers”, to realize their objective is getting rich! I guess they want to be the milllionaires that have to pay their share! I hope you are laughing. There is no governing going on, just pet projects that have nothing to do with governing. How about; foreign policy? How about immigration? How about the debt? The debt; that’s a good one. Their answer; make more, raise the limit, save pet corporations. We have a dysfunctional Congress, and a Union boss for a leader! A decision by our Supreme Court: (As of 12/06/11); Obama ineledgible to be President! I wonder why it is not headline news?
Well let me tell ya, my U.S. Senator was once a conservative, or least he campaigned that way. In fact, he was a pretty good Governor of the State of Tennessee, mostly conservative and very well off. When he ran for the Senate seat from the Tennessee his MOST popular campaign slogan was, ‘CUT THEIR PAY AND SEND THEM HOME’. Wow! were we all a bunch of suckers, we voted him in by a landslide. He didn’t even have a Republican challenger the second time he ran, but the funny thing is he has never even mentioned his ‘CUT THEIR PAY AND SEND THEM HOME’ campaign slogan. Why? Because he is not an honorable man. He would be thought of as a ne’er do well in the US Congress, but what about us? Is anyone going to hold him accountable? Will anyone in America hold their Congressmen accountable? I doubt it, we just keep electing them over and over again! Maybe 2012 will be another day which will live in enfamy, THROW ALL THE BUMS OUT!
Lamar Alexander (R … that’s RINO … Tennessee) is of the same cloth as our Dick Lugar (R … RINO … Indiana). He has … they have … betrayed the people like you and me who worked for and voted for them, hoping they would be true to their promises. Folks, we have got to get busy, right now, to throw these son-of-bitches out on their ear and work to elect conservatives … yes, some of them those we elect will later prove sinners, also … but we have to get to a conservative Senate. It is absolutely imperative.
What do expect from people who vote their own salaries and benefits, honesty? We have let them practice dishonesty, as normal behavior! Throw the guilty members out and have a part time Congress, after all, they should only be paid when they produce! If they don’t, don’t pay them! We should have a, “Piece Work Congress!” They have the impression that they are, “Barons,” “Earls,” “Princess’s” and should be treated as royalty! I guess they forgot about the, “French Revolution,” we all know what the people did to the nobility, “Off With Their Heads!”
Yes, we need citizen representatives – not “career politicians”. The only movement that has this as its goal is GOooh (Get Out Of Our house – pronounced GO – GOooh.com). It is a NON-PARTISAN movement to EVICT all 435 “career” politicians from the House of Representatives & replace them with CITIZEN representatives that are held to Term Limits, to accept NO Special Interest money (that means ZERO “political debts”) and will be held LEGALLY ACCOUNTABLE, through a SIGNED contract, on exactly HOW they will VOTE on the 100 most important current issues. GOooh candidates will be chosen from their own 1000+ members in each District, through a process of elimination in a series of one-on-one interviews; based on how they have LEGALLY committed to vote – THE person that will BEST represent their constituency in Congress.
It is NOT POSSIBLE to CHEAT with GOooh – you can’t hoodwink hundreds of individual interviewers AND then ignore a LEGAL CONTRACT you signed on how you will vote.
GOooh is totally “compatible” with every Tea Party’s goals & objectives, it has A PLAN and it is ALREADY STARTED its candidate selection process in Texas with many more gearing up all over the country for their selection processes soon. GOooh has about 100,000 members now but surely needs more… Do you care about choosing CITIZEN Representatives or are you content to be hoodwinked again by another “Career Politician”? The Tea Parties are good (I belong to several) but they don’t have a real plan, other than to endorse whoever they believe is Conservative & put pressure on the incumbents, and were mislead and fooled by most of the candidates they supported in the last election. Don’t let this happen again. Join GOooh and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
On the face of it your movement appears to be a good idea but that name you have adopted?? Not really that “catchy”. I believe that you have set your cross hairs on the less important criminals here (for the time being)and should go straight for the real BEAST, barrackhusseinobama. By the way there are Tae parties who ARE going after Obama by forcing his impeachment so your statement about them not having a plan is totally incorrect. So what do we have here one movement lobbying against another? …..if so you are playing right into the hands of the enemy. Had it not been for those junior congressmen and senators which were backed by the Tea Party this insider trading “revelation” would have never come to light. So again your statement is incorrect regarding the Tea Party which causes me to view your idea with skepticism.
There is nothing wrong with the Tea Parties – what is wrong is individual candidates who say one thing and do another – typical politicians and we, as citizens have turned our heads and have not marched to the polls next election and voted them out. We have RINO’s- but the entire party is weak and at fault. They are once again trying to engineer the election in 2012 (Romney); they (and Karl Rove) defeated Christine O’Donnell the night of her election in the primary saying she couldn’t win so we ended up with another RINO – Christine would have been much better; they didn’t help Sharron O’Donnell so we still have Dirty Harry (voting machines in Nev were manipulated) they didn’t come to the rescue of Joe Miller in AK so we have RINO Lisa Murkowski – Both parties are manipulative and crooked. I don’t even hear from the WA State Republican Rep – actually when elected they don’t want to give up all the perks – so they wimp -afraid to stand up because of fear of not getting re elected so nothing gets done. Remember the “Super Committee”?
Power corrupts and the love of money is the root of all evil. I hope that we do clean out the DC rat’s nest. We the people will always have to watch any new players very closely to make sure they don’t become corrupted too.
Ask your choice Michele Bachman about her idea to consider reducing veterans benefits. I certainly have and very early in the campaign. Letters were sent to her and her Husband telling them how she would be losing many votes simply because she will not clarify those statements she has made…and SHE is HONEST????????????
Hey Margi, Why don’t you ask her as she has changed her tune so much that I do not believe she actually knows what her intentions are. Considering the fact that I am a service connected 100% permanent and totally disabled Vietnam veteran I would THINK she would be more straightforward but seeing as I am one of those who people that you think should all be crawling in the streets because of our disabilities and being spat on by those who who think we are being overpaid I understand your concern. Let me put it to you in a way even you can understand….go to hell!
Dear David Stovall: Let me explain how politics is played. Today I go and speak at an anti-aboration group. I say: “I am with you!” Tomorrow I go and speak at a pro-aboration group. I say: “I am with you!” The trick to winning the election is having all sides believe you are the honest canidate.
AND EVERY MILLION THAT OBAMA AND OTHER LAWMAKERS GAIN with insider trading IS STOLEN from the portfolios of us ordinary peons that are trying to make investments the honest way based on published information that does not include these hidden activities. It is STEALING FROM THE PEOPLE FOR PERSONAL GAIN. Shame, Shame for using your positions of trust to rape the citizens.
Problem being, if they are privy to insider trading, how many pass this information along to their supporters? Harry Reid was earning a low wage when he ran for office, and now he’s a multi milllionaire. How do you think these things happen. He is supported by bookies in Vegas and Reno. How much do they make as paybacks. Even if they stop this practice, how many would still pass this information along? We all know how corrupt they are.
Continued from above. Wish I had the information. I would see none of my friends or family were ever broke again. OWS protesters are clueless. The information is shared for a guarantee of contributions to the next campaign. Say 10% for sharing the insider trade information. Let’s terminate the corruption with limited terms so Pelosi, Reid, Angle and so many others could not be so low life!
The Roman Empire fell due to this type of stuff.. And we are well on that road to hell. We MUST put a COMPLETE STOP to this and it had better start now..It already is very late in the game, But I think we can save our country if all of us think hard about the ones that are running for office and let them stay two terms and then go home. No more GOOD OLE BOY stuff.
Please get to work right now to throw your RINO senator and representative out of office. The Obamate may prevail in the presidential election (I pray not) but the key to saving America is in seating a conservative Senate.
Sitting and punching vitriol into your comuter, while doing nothing else, will do little to stop this nightmare we are witnessing. Please roll up your sleeves and get busy to cause the election of true conservatives. Throw out the Lugars (R … for RINO … Indiana) and the Lamar Alexanders (R … for RINO … Tennessee). Who from your state will you jettison?
NOW, we are getting somewhere. I am getting inspired. You people are finally seeing these political people for what they are. I pray, we never elect a lawyer again. They have proven what lengths they will go to for money. We have the evidence before our very eyes. They have thrown the rest of us to the dogs, for money. There is no doubt about it… We the people are finally getting together, and this scares the crap out of them. Let’s stick together, and run them out of office and have some real CHANGE in office. But, REMEMBER, they will not go easy. They will kick and scream and try to ignore, WE THE PEOPLE. It will be a challenge, but it is worth it all, to get our country back. Be careful who you vote for. Check them out carefully, before you vote for them. Don’t vote for a lawyer, is a good rule of thumb. Let’s never ever have another election like the 2008 election ever again.
Passage of the FairTax, HR25 would be an excellent first step in reforming congress. The repeal of the 16th Amendment and the destruction of the IRS would remove half the lobbyists from DC. I wont pretend the FairTax can balance the budget or eliminate corruption because men will still be men. What it would do is set the U. S. back on the track to prosperity. The fact that HR25 has languished in the House Ways and Means Committee for over 10 years now, shows you how much Congress fears and loathes the loss of power it represents.
I’m happy that all this is finally coming out.I have felt for decades that they were all crooks but had no proof.They cover up pretty good.They should got to jail for insider tradeing,just like anyone else.They should be held to the same laws as any other citizen.Voteing themselves pay raises and pay and health care for life is bull.Who gets that outside of Washington? I agree 100%.Vote them all out!!!!We desperately need citizen legislators.No more career politicians.Please stop reelecting them.We must insist on term limits for congress……
Alrighty then. We’re all great at sitting on our arse’s and complaining, what I want to know is what can be done about this.
Which of you Constitutional Scholars among us can answer what recourse We the People have besides elections to fix this mess.
Obviously our elected representatives for the most part are crooks and thieves, stealing from the American people any time a tingle runs up their legs. They are not our rulers they are Public Servants. They serve us, We Do Not Serve them! Of course you wouldn’t know that today.
Is this not at least a violation of their oath of office and their own ethics standards?
What legal recourse can we take? Elections take too long, recalls are rigged for the most part to protect our rulers and not the people.
Other than marching up to the cesspool, and burning them out, what can we legally do? And whose assistance do We the People seek? Can’t be anyone in the cesspool, 99% are as crooked as the day is long!
I saw a poll last night that showed overwelming support for Newt G. wake up out there progressives like Newt are about to take away all of the BLM land using UN Agenda 21. They intend to take away all of our freedom.
Dear Big Papa: The Obama Administration is so sneaky that they told Erkel not to openly go after Isreal but let the United Nations do it and Hillary, the “rug-muncher” is using the United Nations to try to take away all citizens across the World from owning weapons!
You seem to be mixed up >> It’s obama who is selling out our country >. Please pass around what ever you are smoking as we all need to live in a fanitasy land
I’ve got news for you folks, and this is information I have documented. Our judicial system is just as corrupt as the members of the legislative and executive branches of government. I have it documented where members of the judiciary, starting with one U.S. District Court Judge Whaley in Spokane, Washington feels he has the right to eliminate your right to have your day in court. And then, as contained within a document I have from his court, he “instructs” all of the other federal judges in the the state of Washington to deny you your right to file any federal lawsuits.
Dear Keith: You are correct. Welcome to America, now place your hands behind your back as we read you your rights! “You are under arrest, you have the right to remain silent, etc.!
Abe: I’ve already been there for doing nothing but exercising my right to labor at my chosen occupation of denturitry. Denturitry by the way is nothing more onerous than constructing full and/or partial dentures directly to the public, and is an occupation proven through 4 empirical reports to represent no known potential for harm to anyone. Therefore, the prohibition of denturists laboring at their chosen occupation does not pass constitutional muster.
Dear Theodore J Gager: Do you know why they call it; Redistribution of Wealth? Because it is easier to swallow than by calling it by the real name; COMMUNISM!
One quick way to stop the corruption in both houses of Congress is to place term limits on every seat in Congress. Corruption is bound to happen when you have people making careers out of Congressional seats. They learn all the tricks of the trade, i.e. just take a look at Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, etc. and some that passed away, and the ill equipped who get voted back in time and time again and don’t have the brains to make an intelligent decision. They become very greedy, power hungry nasty people willing to do anything to keep their jobs. I do think they all need to go and we start all over with some rules about term limits. There’s a term limit on the President so why shouldn’t there be on the other law makers who control all our tax monies, spend them foolishly and ask us for more.
History unlearned, is history repeated! Who has not read nor heard this: “Don’t tax me nor thee, but tax the fellow hiding behind the tree” Clue it was one of our “Founding Fathers”! When we voters, never seem to learn anything, because we keep sending these thieves back 9into office election cycle after election cycle, to the point where they think they are gods, and above any laws! Solution: PART TIME LEGISLATORS @ 1/2 PAY WITH NO PENSIONS! Perhaps this way we will get a few statesmen & woman, who do that which is good & right for the nation, instead of themselves, party and finally the nation, but only if it help #1 & 2!

Anytime you have a closed organization that polices itself you open the door for problems. Add to that an organization that not only polices itself but can make and change laws for their own benefit is like throwing gasoline on the fire.
So our wonderful President is making a speech in Kansas to trumpent Teddy Roosevelt and Progressivism and he began his speech by saying it was great to be back in Texas. Hello! I doubt if NBC, CBS, ABC will make anything out of that. Let’s see, he had 3 hours of flying time to prepare his remarks and he can’t even get the state right. I guess his teleprompter had it on there so he just read it without even thinking, kind of like how he has governed for 3 years.
Lets see go in broke come out years later a MultiMillionare?? Naw I think that they just work real hard!! I’m sure their honest that why they are called polititions!! They just want national attention, to be somebody!!! To impress their mothers,wifes,neighbors and their own egos!!!Telling the world ” Hey I’m Somebody!!” I’m Important!!! Well I’m sure impressed!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
JERRY, YOU CAN THANK OBAMA & HIS ADMINISTRATION FOR ALL WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED THESE LAST 3 YEARS…THIS IS HIS KIND OF CHANGE & CAMPAIGNING HE WANTS 4 MORE YEARS TO FINISH HIS JOB, THOSE ARE HIS WORDS …. AMERICA ARE YOU STUPID ENOUGH TO VOTE FOR THIS MAN AGAIN & SEE YOUR COUNTRY BECOME ANOTHER DICTATORSHIP, OUR FREEDOM WILL NO LONGER BE, OUR CONSTITUTION GONE, WAKE UP AMERICA BECAUSE IT IS ON ITS’ WAY…THERE ARE SIGNS OF IT ALREADY..GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!
In some respects the Mafia had some good points. If some-one causes a problem that affects the whole family—You simply make them disappear-nothing personal, just good business!
Acording to the Constitution congress canot make any law that does not apply to them as to us???????? VOTE THEM ALL OUT, best thing thao could happen. VOTE GET IT DONE??
This is crony capitalism at its zenith. Politicians just legalize their crimes. It extends to many other things, like their pensions, medical coverage, perps, taxation, travel, legal protection and costs, etc., etc.
WHAT A BUNCH OF CROOKS WE HAVE IN WASHINGTON….INSIDE TRADING IS LEGAL FOR THEM BUT FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IT IS ILLEGAL…MY OPINION, THIS JUST DOES NOT ADD UP….SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE !! EVERY DAY WE LEARN SOMETHING NEW ABOUT OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON & IT IS NOT ETHICAL, LEGAL, LIES, ETC… WHY HASN’T HOLDER BEEN FIRED OR MADE TO RESIGN ?? STRANGE, OBAMA HAS NOT SAID A WORD ABOUT THIS, SOUNDS FISHY… 2012 WILL NOT COME SOON ENOUGH…GET RID OF ALL THESE SO CALLED LIARS, THIEVES…THEY ARE ROBBING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE EVERY DAY OF WHAT LITTLE THEY HAVE LEFT…ONLY THEY CAN BECOME MILLIONAIRES..GOD HELP AMERICA !!!
There has been a Bill in congress to stop inside trading for some time. Does anyone honestly think it has a chance of passing? They are not going to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs. Someone mentioned i am glad this is finally coming out. It has been out for some time. Just not on facebook and twitter. When was the last anyone heard about the $2.3 trillion missing from the Pentagon as reported by Donald Rumsfeld on Sept. 10 2001. The government knows in most cases Americans have a short memory. They also know where most American go on the internet, facebook and twitter. They also know that most Americans don’t have time to be bothered doing research into their activites. fortunately for them America has millions of loyalist. They also realize since they get reports from facebook and twitter more and more poster argue than agree. Why do they monitor the internet traffic? Terrorist? Remember Rip Van Winkle. Well! We may find America has been asleep for too long. We have to admitthat millions of us make the governments job easy. One day in the not too distant future we may find out of the FEMA camps are real and for US citizens.as well as the illegals.
Legalized Bribery? Congressional Insider Trading ? COMEONMAN ! Does a bear poop in the woods? You can bet both your lungs, these people are stealing not only the chickens but also the eggs from our hen house. Nothing new in this, but my problem is with this gangster Obama. This criminal and his atty. general promised us a whole new ball game. What he did not tell us was his ties to the unions, the communists, the muslims, and that he gets top honors for being a liar beyond belief. This pond scummer lies about everything and he is the worst president in our history. A disgrace to America and then to be our first black president. BOY HOW’S THAT WORKING OUT FOR YOU ALL?
HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICE BESIDES ME HOW OBAMA IS USING TAXPAYERS MONEY TO FLY, BUYING BUSES TO CAMPAIGN..WHY ISN’T HE USING HIS BILLIONS HE HAS RAISED INSTEAD OF BLEEDING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ??? IS HE SAVING HIS MONEY FOR WHEN HE GETS OUSTED, HE WILL BE A BILLIONAIRE ?? DO YOU AMERICANS REALIZE THE BILLIONS IT IS COSTING US FOR HIM TO DO THIS ?? WAKE UP & SMELL THE COFFEE BECAUSE WE WILL GET EATEN UP BY THIS MAN & ALL OF HIS THUGS..VOTE HIM OUT 2012 OR WE ALL ARE DOOMED !! GOD HELP US !
I JUST SEEN ON TV HOW THE LAST ELECTION PEOPLES NAME WAS FORGED TO VOTE IN INDIANA…THEY INTERVIEWED ALL THESE PEOPLE & THEY SAID THEY DID NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA OR SIGNED ANY PETITION…GO TO FOX NEWS . COM & GET MORE INFORMATION… WE ALL HAD FEELINGS OF THIS GOING ON BUT NOW WE KNOW IT IS TRUE…FOX TRIED TO INTERVIEW SOMEONE IN THAT OFFICE { A DEMOCRAT } BUT REFUSED TO TALK , KEPT SAYING ” NO COMMENT” . WHAT A BUNCH OF CROOKS…WE MUST BE ALERT THIS ELECTION !!!!
Why Did Bernie Madoff Go To Prison? You will notice that there is no particular party placed at fault here as all share equally in this deal. The only problem is that we keep sending the same ones back every election. When will it stop???
The government doesn’t want people to profit from the same crap that the government does! Someone hit the nail on the head, here.
Why did Bernie Madoff go to prison? To make it simple, he talked people into investing with him. Trouble was, he didn’t invest their money. As time rolled on he simply took the money from the new investors to pay off the old investors. Finally there were too many old investors and not enough money from new investors coming in to keep the payments going.
Next thing you know Madoff is one of the most hated men in America and he is off to jail. Some of you know this. But not enough of you. Madoff did to his investors what the government has been doing to us for over 70 years with Social Security. There is no meaningful difference between the two schemes, except that one was operated by a private individual who is now in jail, and the other is operated by politicians who enjoy perks, privileges and status in spite of their actions. Do you need a side-by-side comparison here? Well here’s a nifty little chart.
BERNIE MADOFF SOCIAL SECURITY 1. Takes money from investors with the promise that the money will be invested and made available to them later. 1. Takes money from wage earners with the promise that the money will be invested in a “Trust Fund” (Lock Box) and made available later. 2. Instead of investing the money Madoff spends it on nice homes in the Hamptons and yachts. 2. Instead of depositing money in a Trust Fund the politicians transfer it to the General Revenue Fund and use it for general spending and vote buying. 3. When the time comes to pay the investors back Madoff simply uses some of the new funds from newer investors to pay back the older investors. 3. When benefits for older investors become due the politicians pay them with money taken from younger and newer wage earners to pay the older people. 4. When Madoff’s scheme is discovered all hell breaks loose. New investors won’t give him any more cash. 4. When Social Security runs out of money the politicians try to force the taxpayers to send them some more; or they cancel S/S to all those who paid into it. 5. Bernie Madoff is in jail. 5. Politicians remain in Washington… with fat medical and retirement benefits.

Hey, women and men of America. What does a ‘we the people’ patriot do on a daily basis? What was going on in 1984. Remember that date? There came to be a strategy-GOTV- that was crafted by marketing and media relations folks for the Democratic National Committee. It was the 50%+1 strategy. If you are a regular political participant the past 25 years you have heard of GOTV, you have been drinking the kook-aid. The notion of a set of principles by which is available to guide decisions went out the window. There came the school for candidates and the school for elected officials, the school for judges, the school for public officials. You get my drift. So, what were you doing in 1984? Were you at the spa, hunting lodge, or on a fishing boat. Were you worried about how your polyester suit looked, you hairdo and your latest vehicle’s color scheme? I was watching the impact of GOTV. I saw it from day one because I had been educated about the status quo and the ability of ‘insignificant’ folks to impact the system. GOTV put the best and brightest schemes into concrete while you were thinking that it meant that it would marginalize others, but not you. Paper and electronic handcuffs were in your Christmas stocking. Clueless co-signer in 1984?
As far as my opinion goes, $1 worth of insider trading is bad. If it is wrong for private citizens, it is doubly wrong for politicians whose vote effects these stocks. How do those arrogant b*&%@# come up with any excuse to justify this. Pelosi makes millions doing it and she wants to inform us how she has “the goods” on how bad Gindrich is, what??????????
we have found and watched how filthy our government is , we are also finding they have enacted laws to cover their ass , self protection runs deep , we need to take them bodily to the curb with no sevrance pay , no retirement , no medical let them like we do , barney frank is going to retire
can you believe this?????? he is far worse than madoff , he should retire to jail as the father of our downfall , obama should go to jail as the father of fast and furious , he has blood on his hands
BUT they all have this failsafe that they have covered themselves with and we cannot touch them and we have to wait and watch as they destroy until we can vote them out , IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE ???????? GO to washington and throw the bums out
Dear Rich: Our Government is the best at lying, cheating and corpution. Who says, America isn’t number one anymore?
oBAMA;CLINTON all play the good cop bad cop game;; they publicly act out raged at wall street as they all get rich, this is capitalism GONE BAD and it gives Obumnuts fuel to use on all the really honest business men and women;; Our society is so morally bankrupt it may be too late to turn this around.
Dear Robert E. Lee: Obama and Clinton have helped cover the tracks of Wall Street! Birds of a feather, sleep and profit together.
The reason all these vile lawmakes have gotten by with crimes against humanity is largely due to the vile MSM who no longer reports truth but lies, denigrations and covers up all the transgressions of politicians. Look what the media has done to decent people i.e. Sarah Palin, recently Herman Cain (and in both cases no proof) Michelle Bachman – and Newt is next. They don’t print stories, or investigate Obama’s probable constitutional ineligibility or Obama’s homosexuality or his trip to Pakistan on another passport, not US; nor the fact that he has sequestered all of his records, nor did Pelosi and Congress demand he release them; nor his fake social security numbers from Conneticut (where he has never lived);or the fact that we have a president (who took an oath to protect the citizens of this country) has sued the state of Arizona for trying to do that; or Hilary’s actions now against the 2nd amendment taking it to the UN; or the missing souls from Clinton’s presidency; orNancy Pelosi’s many actions and now saying she will reveal “dirt” on Newt – (which is like the pot calling the kettle black); or the truth about Barney Franks/Chris Dodd’s actions causing the housing market to fail. I could go on and on but until the day comes when citizens rise up and refuse to watch the networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, as well as NPR and CNN which have all received “contibutions from Soros” we will never hear the truth. Boycott these networks as well as their advertisers and things will change. Or Citizens quit being apathetic and either join the Tea Parties and protest and march – little will change.
I’m afraid Jesus is the only cure and I pray He comes quickly. Before some clown takes justice etc. Though who could blame? The whole of congress puke pretty words that tickle the ears yet they have Satan on their shoulder. It is a shame these people have the opportunity to correct all the wrongs of the past administrations and deal with them justly yet they join the corruption and condemn themselves to hell and Gods children to a few more years of missery putting up with their decrepit selves and filthy lies.
You are the one percent who is rightfully looking to God for the answer, only repentance will turn things around but in the big picture we may be out of time, and we do know for a fact at some point we will have a global system to deal with..
Should be easy to find out if an incumbent congress- critter has increased his net worth while in office. This could well be a deciding factor on who to vote for and a discussion point with other voters.
How much do you have to hear about these “lawmakers”, to realize their objective is getting rich! I guess they want to be the milllionaires that have to pay their share! I hope you are laughing. There is no governing going on, just pet projects that have nothing to do with governing. How about; foreign policy? How about immigration? How about the debt? The debt; that’s a good one. Their answer; make more, raise the limit, save pet corporations.
We have a dysfunctional Congress, and a Union boss for a leader!
A decision by our Supreme Court: (As of 12/06/11); Obama ineledgible to be President!
I wonder why it is not headline news?
A true “DITTO HEAD”.
Well let me tell ya, my U.S. Senator was once a conservative, or least he campaigned that way. In fact, he was a pretty good Governor of the State of Tennessee, mostly conservative and very well off. When he ran for the Senate seat from the Tennessee his MOST popular campaign slogan was, ‘CUT THEIR PAY AND SEND THEM HOME’. Wow! were we all a bunch of suckers, we voted him in by a landslide. He didn’t even have a Republican challenger the second time he ran, but the funny thing is he has never even mentioned his ‘CUT THEIR PAY AND SEND THEM HOME’ campaign slogan. Why? Because he is not an honorable man. He would be thought of as a ne’er do well in the US Congress, but what about us? Is anyone going to hold him accountable? Will anyone in America hold their Congressmen accountable? I doubt it, we just keep electing them over and over again! Maybe 2012 will be another day which will live in enfamy, THROW ALL THE BUMS OUT!
Lamar Alexander (R … that’s RINO … Tennessee) is of the same cloth as our Dick Lugar (R … RINO … Indiana). He has … they have … betrayed the people like you and me who worked for and voted for them, hoping they would be true to their promises. Folks, we have got to get busy, right now, to throw these son-of-bitches out on their ear and work to elect conservatives … yes, some of them those we elect will later prove sinners, also … but we have to get to a conservative Senate. It is absolutely imperative.
What do expect from people who vote their own salaries and benefits, honesty? We have let them practice dishonesty, as normal behavior! Throw the guilty members out and have a part time Congress, after all, they should only be paid when they produce! If they don’t, don’t pay them! We should have a, “Piece Work Congress!” They have the impression that they are, “Barons,” “Earls,” “Princess’s” and should be treated as royalty! I guess they forgot about the, “French Revolution,” we all know what the people did to the nobility, “Off With Their Heads!”
The chinese have a good solution for things like this.
Perhaps all things chinese are not bad after all.
The French also had a solution that none of our politicians would relish.
Dear David in MA: Not if you like bowing the new Chinese Emperor in the near future were Amercians will be second class citizens in our own Country!
Yes, we need citizen representatives – not “career politicians”. The only movement that has this as its goal is GOooh (Get Out Of Our house – pronounced GO – GOooh.com).
It is a NON-PARTISAN movement to EVICT all 435 “career” politicians from the House of Representatives & replace them with CITIZEN representatives that are held to Term Limits, to accept NO Special Interest money (that means ZERO “political debts”) and will be held LEGALLY ACCOUNTABLE, through a SIGNED contract, on exactly HOW they will VOTE on the 100 most important current issues.
GOooh candidates will be chosen from their own 1000+ members in each District, through a process of elimination in a series of one-on-one interviews; based on how they have LEGALLY committed to vote – THE person that will BEST represent their constituency in Congress.
It is NOT POSSIBLE to CHEAT with GOooh – you can’t hoodwink hundreds of individual interviewers AND then ignore a LEGAL CONTRACT you signed on how you will vote.
GOooh is totally “compatible” with every Tea Party’s goals & objectives, it has A PLAN and it is ALREADY STARTED its candidate selection process in Texas with many more gearing up all over the country for their selection processes soon.
GOooh has about 100,000 members now but surely needs more… Do you care about choosing CITIZEN Representatives or are you content to be hoodwinked again by another “Career Politician”?
The Tea Parties are good (I belong to several) but they don’t have a real plan, other than to endorse whoever they believe is Conservative & put pressure on the incumbents, and were mislead and fooled by most of the candidates they supported in the last election.
Don’t let this happen again. Join GOooh and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
On the face of it your movement appears to be a good idea but that name you have adopted?? Not really that “catchy”. I believe that you have set your cross hairs on the less important criminals here (for the time being)and should go straight for the real BEAST, barrackhusseinobama. By the way there are Tae parties who ARE going after Obama by forcing his impeachment so your statement about them not having a plan is totally incorrect. So what do we have here one movement lobbying against another? …..if so you are playing right into the hands of the enemy. Had it not been for those junior congressmen and senators which were backed by the Tea Party this insider trading “revelation” would have never come to light. So again your statement is incorrect regarding the Tea Party which causes me to view your idea with skepticism.
There is nothing wrong with the Tea Parties – what is wrong is individual candidates who say one thing and do another – typical politicians and we, as citizens have turned our heads and have not marched to the polls next election and voted them out. We have RINO’s- but the entire party is weak and at fault. They are once again trying to engineer the election in 2012 (Romney); they (and Karl Rove) defeated Christine O’Donnell the night of her election in the primary saying she couldn’t win so we ended up with another RINO – Christine would have been much better; they didn’t help Sharron O’Donnell so we still have Dirty Harry (voting machines in Nev were manipulated) they didn’t come to the rescue of Joe Miller in AK so we have RINO Lisa Murkowski – Both parties are manipulative and crooked. I don’t even hear from the WA State Republican Rep – actually when elected they don’t want to give up all the perks – so they wimp -afraid to stand up because of fear of not getting re elected so nothing gets done. Remember the “Super Committee”?
Power corrupts and the love of money is the root of all evil. I hope that we do clean out the DC rat’s nest. We the people will always have to watch any new players very closely to make sure they don’t become corrupted too.
Most, not all, congressmen are for sale AND so are many voters. I think Michele Bachman is an exception. I think she is honest.
Ask your choice Michele Bachman about her idea to consider reducing veterans benefits. I certainly have and very early in the campaign. Letters were sent to her and her Husband telling them how she would be losing many votes simply because she will not clarify those statements she has made…and SHE is HONEST????????????
Is she for reducing veterans’ benefits or for reducing the amount of the INCREASE?
Dear Marg1: Depends on what day it is and what State she is in at the time!
Hey Margi, Why don’t you ask her as she has changed her tune so much that I do not believe she actually knows what her intentions are. Considering the fact that I am a service connected 100% permanent and totally disabled Vietnam veteran I would THINK she would be more straightforward but seeing as I am one of those who people that you think should all be crawling in the streets because of our disabilities and being spat on by those who who think we are being overpaid I understand your concern. Let me put it to you in a way even you can understand….go to hell!
Reagan’s 11th commandment, “Speak no ill of a fellow Republican.” Stop the cannibalism.
Dear David Stovall: Let me explain how politics is played. Today I go and speak at an anti-aboration group. I say: “I am with you!” Tomorrow I go and speak at a pro-aboration group. I say: “I am with you!” The trick to winning the election is having all sides believe you are the honest canidate.
I know. And she has pretty eyes.

HOW BAD IS THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH? Are they held to the same insider trading regulations as WE THE PEOPLE?
NOT FAIR
The president not only knows about deals before they happen, he causes them to happen. Executive Orders are a handy, dandy way to make someone rich.
AND EVERY MILLION THAT OBAMA AND OTHER LAWMAKERS GAIN with insider trading IS STOLEN from the portfolios of us ordinary peons that are trying to make investments the honest way based on published information that does not include these hidden activities. It is STEALING FROM THE PEOPLE FOR PERSONAL GAIN. Shame, Shame for using your positions of trust to rape the citizens.
Dear Rowley: Obama is trying to play by the same rules the King of England used to play by. And what would that be? “The King can do no wrong!”
Neither can a dictator
Problem being, if they are privy to insider trading, how many pass this information along to their supporters? Harry Reid was earning a low wage when he ran for office, and now he’s a multi milllionaire. How do you think these things happen. He is supported by bookies in Vegas and Reno. How much do they make as paybacks. Even if they stop this practice, how many would still pass this information along? We all know how corrupt they are.
Continued from above. Wish I had the information. I would see none of my friends or family were ever broke again. OWS protesters are clueless. The information is shared for a guarantee of contributions to the next campaign. Say 10% for sharing the insider trade information. Let’s terminate the corruption with limited terms so Pelosi, Reid, Angle and so many others could not be so low life!
The Roman Empire fell due to this type of stuff.. And we are well on that road to hell. We MUST put a COMPLETE STOP to this and it had better start now..It already is very late in the game, But I think we can save our country if all of us think hard about the ones that are running for office and let them stay two terms and then go home.
No more GOOD OLE BOY stuff.
Please get to work right now to throw your RINO senator and representative out of office. The Obamate may prevail in the presidential election (I pray not) but the key to saving America is in seating a conservative Senate.
Sitting and punching vitriol into your comuter, while doing nothing else, will do little to stop this nightmare we are witnessing. Please roll up your sleeves and get busy to cause the election of true conservatives. Throw out the Lugars (R … for RINO … Indiana) and the Lamar Alexanders (R … for RINO … Tennessee). Who from your state will you jettison?
NOW, we are getting somewhere. I am getting inspired. You people are finally seeing these political people for what they are. I pray, we never elect a lawyer again. They have proven what lengths they will go to for money. We have the evidence before our very eyes. They have thrown the rest of us to the dogs, for money. There is no doubt about it…
We the people are finally getting together, and this scares the crap out of them. Let’s stick together, and run them out of office and have some real CHANGE in office. But, REMEMBER, they will not go easy. They will kick and scream and try to ignore, WE THE PEOPLE. It will be a challenge, but it is worth it all, to get our country back. Be careful who you vote for. Check them out carefully, before you vote for them. Don’t vote for a lawyer, is a good rule of thumb. Let’s never ever have another election like the 2008 election ever again.
Passage of the FairTax, HR25 would be an excellent first step in reforming congress. The repeal of the 16th Amendment and the destruction of the IRS would remove half the lobbyists from DC.
I wont pretend the FairTax can balance the budget or eliminate corruption because men will still be men. What it would do is set the U. S. back on the track to prosperity. The fact that HR25 has languished in the House Ways and Means Committee for over 10 years now, shows you how much Congress fears and loathes the loss of power it represents.
I’m happy that all this is finally coming out.I have felt for decades that they were all crooks but had no proof.They cover up pretty good.They should got to jail for insider tradeing,just like anyone else.They should be held to the same laws as any other citizen.Voteing themselves pay raises and pay and health care for life is bull.Who gets that outside of Washington?
I agree 100%.Vote them all out!!!!We desperately need citizen legislators.No more career politicians.Please stop reelecting them.We must insist on term limits for congress……
Simple steps:
How about these 5 reforms for our government.
(1) No one who has worked for a Congressperson, Senator or Representative, should be allowed ever to become a lobbyist.
(2) Term limits should be invoked. Tenure has no place in Congress.
(3) All laws passed by Congress should apply to the elected ruling class just as they do to citizens.
(4) No recipient of Federal money should be permitted to make a campaign contribution of any kind.
(5) No gifts of any kind should be permitted to elected office holders anywhere, any time.
Nobody would want to be a politician!
Dear USA: There would still be crooks who would run!
Bribery! Has been legal for quite some time now, it’s called CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS!
WAKE UP AMERICA YOUR LOSING YOUR COUNTRY FAST!
Alrighty then. We’re all great at sitting on our arse’s and complaining, what I want to know is what can be done about this.
Which of you Constitutional Scholars among us can answer what recourse We the People have besides elections to fix this mess.
Obviously our elected representatives for the most part are crooks and thieves, stealing from the American people any time a tingle runs up their legs. They are not our rulers they are Public Servants. They serve us, We Do Not Serve them! Of course you wouldn’t know that today.
Is this not at least a violation of their oath of office and their own ethics standards?
What legal recourse can we take? Elections take too long, recalls are rigged for the most part to protect our rulers and not the people.
Other than marching up to the cesspool, and burning them out, what can we legally do? And whose assistance do We the People seek? Can’t be anyone in the cesspool, 99% are as crooked as the day is long!
POLITICIANS = BRIBERY or SEX SCANDAL.
AMERICA for SALE
The sad truth. . . . .
I saw a poll last night that showed overwelming support for Newt G. wake up out there progressives like Newt are about to take away all of the BLM land using UN Agenda 21. They intend to take away all of our freedom.
Dear Big Papa: The Obama Administration is so sneaky that they told Erkel not to openly go after Isreal but let the United Nations do it and Hillary, the “rug-muncher” is using the United Nations to try to take away all citizens across the World from owning weapons!
You seem to be mixed up >> It’s obama who is selling out our country >. Please pass around what ever you are smoking as we all need to live in a fanitasy land
I’ve got news for you folks, and this is information I have documented. Our judicial system is just as corrupt as the members of the legislative and executive branches of government. I have it documented where members of the judiciary, starting with one U.S. District Court Judge Whaley in Spokane, Washington feels he has the right to eliminate your right to have your day in court. And then, as contained within a document I have from his court, he “instructs” all of the other federal judges in the the state of Washington to deny you your right to file any federal lawsuits.
Dear Keith: You are correct. Welcome to America, now place your hands behind your back as we read you your rights! “You are under arrest, you have the right to remain silent, etc.!
Abe: I’ve already been there for doing nothing but exercising my right to labor at my chosen occupation of denturitry. Denturitry by the way is nothing more onerous than constructing full and/or partial dentures directly to the public, and is an occupation proven through 4 empirical reports to represent no known potential for harm to anyone. Therefore, the prohibition of denturists laboring at their chosen occupation does not pass constitutional muster.
Now this is what I call Social Injustice and reverse Redistribution of Wealth. THE BIGGEST THREAT TO OUR NATIOAL SECURITY IS THE US GOVERNMENT.
Amen Brother!
Dear Theodore J Gager: Do you know why they call it; Redistribution of Wealth? Because it is easier to swallow than by calling it by the real name; COMMUNISM!
Write on Abe, write on.
When dealing with the Congress and the Mafia always remember; the Mafia pratices Ethics!
One quick way to stop the corruption in both houses of Congress is to place term limits on every seat in Congress. Corruption is bound to happen when you have people making careers out of Congressional seats. They learn all the tricks of the trade, i.e. just take a look at Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, etc. and some that passed away, and the ill equipped who get voted back in time and time again and don’t have the brains to make an intelligent decision. They become very greedy, power hungry nasty people willing to do anything to keep their jobs. I do think they all need to go and we start all over with some rules about term limits. There’s a term limit on the President so why shouldn’t there be on the other law makers who control all our tax monies, spend them foolishly and ask us for more.
Wake up America!
History unlearned, is history repeated!
Who has not read nor heard this: “Don’t tax me nor thee, but tax the fellow hiding behind the tree”
Clue it was one of our “Founding Fathers”!
When we voters, never seem to learn anything, because we keep sending these thieves back 9into office election cycle after election cycle, to the point where they think they are gods, and above any laws!
Solution: PART TIME LEGISLATORS @ 1/2 PAY WITH NO PENSIONS!
Perhaps this way we will get a few statesmen & woman, who do that which is good & right for the nation, instead of themselves, party and finally the nation, but only if it help #1 & 2!

Anytime you have a closed organization that polices itself you open the door for problems. Add to that an organization that not only polices itself but can make and change laws for their own benefit is like throwing gasoline on the fire.
Dear Gizmo51: It is why Florida now has what is called the “SUNSHINE LAW!” All meetings are to be open to the public!
So our wonderful President is making a speech in Kansas to trumpent Teddy Roosevelt and Progressivism and he began his speech by saying it was great to be back in Texas. Hello! I doubt if NBC, CBS, ABC will make anything out of that. Let’s see, he had 3 hours of flying time to prepare his remarks and he can’t even get the state right. I guess his teleprompter had it on there so he just read it without even thinking, kind of like how he has governed for 3 years.
Lets see go in broke come out years later a MultiMillionare?? Naw I think that they just work real hard!! I’m sure their honest that why they are called polititions!! They just want national attention, to be somebody!!! To impress their mothers,wifes,neighbors and their own egos!!!Telling the world ” Hey I’m Somebody!!” I’m Important!!! Well I’m sure impressed!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

get a grip,trial run in LA with Occupy MARSHALL LAW COMING TO CITY NEAR YOU!

AMERICA ARE YOU STUPID ENOUGH TO VOTE FOR THIS MAN AGAIN & SEE YOUR COUNTRY BECOME ANOTHER DICTATORSHIP, OUR FREEDOM WILL NO LONGER BE, OUR CONSTITUTION GONE, WAKE UP AMERICA BECAUSE IT IS ON ITS’ WAY…THERE ARE SIGNS OF IT ALREADY..GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!
In some respects the Mafia had some good points. If some-one causes a problem that affects the whole family—You simply make them disappear-nothing personal, just good business!
Acording to the Constitution congress canot make any law that does not apply to them as to us???????? VOTE THEM ALL OUT, best thing thao could happen. VOTE GET IT DONE??
This is crony capitalism at its zenith. Politicians just legalize their crimes. It extends to many other things, like their pensions, medical coverage, perps, taxation, travel, legal protection and costs, etc., etc.
The verdict is in on our “ruling class”: 9% approval rating…proving what? That 9% of Americans are certifiably insane.
WHAT A BUNCH OF CROOKS WE HAVE IN WASHINGTON….INSIDE TRADING IS LEGAL FOR THEM BUT FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IT IS ILLEGAL…MY OPINION, THIS JUST DOES NOT ADD UP….SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE !! EVERY DAY WE LEARN SOMETHING NEW ABOUT OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON & IT IS NOT ETHICAL, LEGAL, LIES, ETC… WHY HASN’T HOLDER BEEN FIRED OR MADE TO RESIGN ?? STRANGE, OBAMA HAS NOT SAID A WORD ABOUT THIS, SOUNDS FISHY… 2012 WILL NOT COME SOON ENOUGH…GET RID OF ALL THESE SO CALLED LIARS, THIEVES…THEY ARE ROBBING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE EVERY DAY OF WHAT LITTLE THEY HAVE LEFT…ONLY THEY CAN BECOME MILLIONAIRES..GOD HELP AMERICA !!!
There has been a Bill in congress to stop inside trading for some time. Does anyone honestly think it has a chance of passing? They are not going to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs. Someone mentioned i am glad this is finally coming out. It has been out for some time. Just not on facebook and twitter. When was the last anyone heard about the $2.3 trillion missing from the Pentagon as reported by Donald Rumsfeld on Sept. 10 2001. The government knows in most cases Americans have a short memory. They also know where most American go on the internet, facebook and twitter. They also know that most Americans don’t have time to be bothered doing research into their activites. fortunately for them America has millions of loyalist. They also realize since they get reports from facebook and twitter more and more poster argue than agree. Why do they monitor the internet traffic? Terrorist? Remember Rip Van Winkle. Well! We may find America has been asleep for too long. We have to admitthat millions of us make the governments job easy. One day in the not too distant future we may find out of the FEMA camps are real and for US citizens.as well as the illegals.
Legalized Bribery? Congressional Insider Trading ? COMEONMAN ! Does a bear poop in the woods? You can bet both your lungs, these people are stealing not only the chickens but also the eggs from our hen house. Nothing new in this, but my problem is with this gangster Obama.
This criminal and his atty. general promised us a whole new ball game. What he did not tell us was his ties to the unions, the communists, the muslims, and that he gets top honors for being a liar beyond belief. This pond scummer lies about everything and he is the worst president in our history. A disgrace to America and then to be our first black president. BOY HOW’S THAT WORKING OUT FOR YOU ALL?
HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICE BESIDES ME HOW OBAMA IS USING TAXPAYERS MONEY TO FLY, BUYING BUSES TO CAMPAIGN..WHY ISN’T HE USING HIS BILLIONS HE HAS RAISED INSTEAD OF BLEEDING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ??? IS HE SAVING HIS MONEY FOR WHEN HE GETS OUSTED, HE WILL BE A BILLIONAIRE ?? DO YOU AMERICANS REALIZE THE BILLIONS IT IS COSTING US FOR HIM TO DO THIS ?? WAKE UP & SMELL THE COFFEE BECAUSE WE WILL GET EATEN UP BY THIS MAN & ALL OF HIS THUGS..VOTE HIM OUT 2012 OR WE ALL ARE DOOMED !! GOD HELP US !
I JUST SEEN ON TV HOW THE LAST ELECTION PEOPLES NAME WAS FORGED TO VOTE IN INDIANA…THEY INTERVIEWED ALL THESE PEOPLE & THEY SAID THEY DID NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA OR SIGNED ANY PETITION…GO TO FOX NEWS . COM & GET MORE INFORMATION… WE ALL HAD FEELINGS OF THIS GOING ON BUT NOW WE KNOW IT IS TRUE…FOX TRIED TO INTERVIEW SOMEONE IN THAT OFFICE { A DEMOCRAT } BUT REFUSED TO TALK , KEPT SAYING ” NO COMMENT” . WHAT A BUNCH OF CROOKS…WE MUST BE ALERT THIS ELECTION !!!!
Why Did Bernie Madoff Go To Prison?
You will notice that there is no particular party placed at fault here as all share equally in this deal. The only problem is that we keep sending the same ones back every election. When will it stop???
The government doesn’t want people to profit from the same crap that the government does!
Someone hit the nail on the head, here.
Why did Bernie Madoff go to prison? To make it simple, he talked people into investing with him. Trouble was, he didn’t invest their money. As time rolled on he simply took the money from the new investors to pay off the old investors. Finally there were too many old investors and not enough money from new investors coming in to keep the payments going.
Next thing you know Madoff is one of the most hated men in America and he is off to jail. Some of you know this. But not enough of you. Madoff did to his investors what the government has been doing to us for over 70 years with Social Security. There is no meaningful difference between the two schemes, except that one was operated by a private individual who is now in jail, and the other is operated by politicians who enjoy perks, privileges and status in spite of their actions.
Do you need a side-by-side comparison here? Well here’s a nifty little chart.
BERNIE MADOFF SOCIAL SECURITY
1. Takes money from investors with the promise that the money will be invested and made available to them later. 1. Takes money from wage earners with the promise that the money will be invested in a “Trust Fund” (Lock Box) and made available later.
2. Instead of investing the money Madoff spends it on nice homes in the Hamptons and yachts. 2. Instead of depositing money in a Trust Fund the politicians transfer it to the General Revenue Fund and use it for general spending and vote buying.
3. When the time comes to pay the investors back Madoff simply uses some of the new funds from newer investors to pay back the older investors. 3. When benefits for older investors become due the politicians pay them with money taken from younger and newer wage earners to pay the older people.
4. When Madoff’s scheme is discovered all hell breaks loose. New investors won’t give him any more cash. 4. When Social Security runs out of money the politicians try to force the taxpayers to send them some more; or they cancel S/S to all those who paid into it.
5. Bernie Madoff is in jail. 5. Politicians remain in Washington… with fat medical and retirement benefits.

PASS THIS ON TO ANOTHER TAXPAYER
Hey, women and men of America. What does a ‘we the people’ patriot do on a daily basis? What was going on in 1984. Remember that date? There came to be a strategy-GOTV- that was crafted by marketing and media relations folks for the Democratic National Committee. It was the 50%+1 strategy. If you are a regular political participant the past 25 years you have heard of GOTV, you have been drinking the kook-aid. The notion of a set of principles by which is available to guide decisions went out the window. There came the school for candidates and the school for elected officials, the school for judges, the school for public officials. You get my drift. So, what were you doing in 1984? Were you at the spa, hunting lodge, or on a fishing boat. Were you worried about how your polyester suit looked, you hairdo and your latest vehicle’s color scheme? I was watching the impact of GOTV. I saw it from day one because I had been educated about the status quo and the ability of ‘insignificant’ folks to impact the system. GOTV put the best and brightest schemes into concrete while you were thinking that it meant that it would marginalize others, but not you. Paper and electronic handcuffs were in your Christmas stocking. Clueless co-signer in 1984?
As far as my opinion goes, $1 worth of insider trading is bad. If it is wrong for private citizens, it is doubly wrong for politicians whose vote effects these stocks. How do those arrogant b*&%@# come up with any excuse to justify this. Pelosi makes millions doing it and she wants to inform us how she has “the goods” on how bad Gindrich is, what??????????
