If enough of them vote for someone they have, by any logical definition, sold themselves quite well thank you. Or you can sell yourself brilliantly, but if you are selling ain't what the electorate is looking for, then the ability to sell yourself is sorta beside the point. -- I want to find a voracious, small-minded predator and name it after the IRS.

Where are you posting from? It's fun to be an constitutional purist but toss in a little reality and before you know it the world turns to poop. Making matters worse, in Angle's case, is that she doesn't even get the constitution. Oh well. Sucks to be her. And speaking of fiduciary duties perhaps you can give us a run down on how that's working for BP. They operated their blown out well with the stockholders in mind. Should they (BP) be rewarded? No one needs to get fired? Everything worked as planned financially? -- "How can one little Street swallow so many lives?" -- The Offspring, The Kids Aren't Alright --tr

But they did not even come close to their fiduciary duty. That should be obvious by the nastiness done to their stock price, etc. People get the idea that fiduciary duties are discharged only when the stock goes up. They are also involved when they don't protect the stocks from going down. -- I want to find a voracious, small-minded predator and name it after the IRS. Robert Bakker, paleontologist
