[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have not been convicted.  The evidence that there was wrongdoing is strong.  The timing of Purdue’s prolific trades of companies his committees had oversight of is appalling.  I am a federal employee and would lose my job if I did a single trade of an entity that my agency has oversight of.  Yes, his actions are shady and morally repugnant.[/quote]

Strong evidence isn't the same as a conviction. Not at all.[/quote]

OMG. The bar to get someone’s vote shouldn’t be that “they weren’t convicted.”  It’s clear that even if they weren’t convicted, it’s clear that they personally benefitted from the knowledge they received before the general public. That tells me that their moral compass is set to care more about themselves and their financial benefit and *not* the good of the general American public. To me, that is disqualifying for my vote.

I am sure you are and were equally concerned about Nancy Pelosi's stock trading, Hunter Biden, and Hillary Clinton's speaking fees and were front and center calling for Menendez's defeat in 2018.  It is not a clean business.  Note that not many in Congress are out there calling for rule changes to restrict this type of Stock Trading.

Loeffler and Perdue certainly do seem ethically challenged but what the actual law is and whether you followed it does make a difference.  In the end I doubt it will make much of a difference in the race as people will vote for the candidates whose Senate votes they think they will prefer.  I think the Democrats would be better off weighting their effort more in that direction.   Right now they seem to be rerunning their November election playbook which they may have missed was not that successful.[/quote]
Jesus...is there a single logical thought here?[/quote]
