"You cannot read the description of the personal stock trading allegedly conducted by Rep. Spencer Bachus and other members of Congress during the financial crisis and conclude anything other than the following:
"Our government is completely corrupt.
"Yes, this behavior may be technically legal, because of an absurd loophole that makes insider-trading rules not apply to Congress.
"Yes, this behavior may be widespread on Capitol Hill.
"But there is no universe in which a reasonable person would consider this behavior ethical or okay. And for the 300+ million Americans who aren't members of Congress, it would be just plain illegal
"Many members of Congress seem guilty here, including John Kerry, Dick Durbin, and Jim Moran..."
The integrity of the 1% in all its rancid glory.
FLUSH Republicans AND Democrats from DC next November by the hundreds.
Both parties serve only the 1% and themselves.
