For all of you worried about oil companies and the price of gas...you might want to take a gander at members of your preferred party. I will go on record and say that I'm quite certain many Republicans do the same thing. You just won't see the same level of hypocrisy when it comes to them...

According to you I'm always wrong. So that's nothing new.


Not that I really give two hoots what you think...

This is, after all, a debate board.

I'm sure you aren't *always* wrong.


Meanwhile did you wish to debate the actual topic of the thread.

If I had stock in a business that I felt was cheating americans, was the cause of an unjust war, and simply had completely different values than I did....I would sell that stock as a matter of principle.

It's fine and dandy to complain about and vote against those companies...but if you still have your hand out accepting "blood money" from those corporations...I just think it really diminishes any credibility that politician has. (Ha...politician/credibility, I just made a funny!)

Far better would be to complain and vote against them and NOT have a financial interest AT ALL.

This would be the ideal, absolutely.
