Paul Ryan sold shares on same day as private briefing of banking crisis | World news | guardian.co.uk
Now, it wasn't illegal at the time and people on both sides of the aisle were participants in activities such as these, but it just doesn't seem right does it?
appears what he did was (then) legal
unethical, trading on insider information, but legal (for congresscritters)
so much for an assessment of his character
no wonder romney chose him
Reagan is dead, Bush is eating BBQ somewhere in Texas. Barry is in charge and has been so for the past 3.5 years. Time to move on.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it...

This is what happens when the government makes laws for themselves. It is disgusting and everyone in Congress does it and are laughing at the American people while doing it. Our politicians act in their own personal interests first, the interests of their large donors second, and the American people they are there to serve a far distant 3rd. Romney, Obama, Mcain, Pelosi, Ryan, and everyone else is the same. Stop buying into the BS.

Of course not. This was another way to try to show illegalities done SOLELY by Paul Ryan. Same old, same old. You gotta laugh at the dumb attempts that just continue to show the liberals grasping at any straw, even if it's a lie. Tired, tired, tired of the crap.
You yourself said it wasn't illegal. Do you know what your 401k sold and purchased for you yesterday?
Didn't think so.

I see your point but all my retirement funds in and out of my 403b are self directed. I will step back to say I found the article interesting and wanted others' opinions. I dislike immoral activity on either side of the aisle. My apologies to those I may have mislead into thinking I was presenting anything as fact instead of as a discussion point.
I will also admit, even if its not directly related, that I myself would find it hard not to take advantage of a situation where I would be told specifically how NOT to lose a ton of money. My issue lies more with regulation and law that allows this type of activity to be possible in the first place.

I will only be nice one more time…If you are accusing Ryan of something immoral, spit it out. If not, go to hell and take your family with you for being such a pawn.
You forgot about a birth certificate. Oh, that's right, you still think the 'Kenya' was the real one.So, four days and hundreds of nuggets of Ryan's past.
By the end of the week, you will know every Miami of Ohio frat party he ever bought a T-shirt for.
Would that a certain Illinois Senator have received so much scrutiny.
I was unaware you were being nice. I was actually, on the contrary, admitting that I didn't do enough research on the subject. I then used this to segue into the topic of insider trading in general. I then gave a personal anecdote related to that topic. Your personal attacks are completely unnecessary, unappreciated, and unproductive.
Hey you been avoiding discussing the 8 years of Bush failures and the 8 years of Reagan failures... so.. fair is fair.
Got anything to say about Ryan now? Hmmm?
*crickets*

I wasn't aware you knew me so well, friend! What you have to laugh at is when in my OP I clearly posted that I'm disgusted by unethical behavior by either side of government. In fact, if you did even the slightest bit of reading of most anything I've ever posted here, you would see that I try to look at everything from a viewpoint that is unbiased as it can be.
Now, I'll give you the fact that I read the article and maybe I also was guilty of not giving due diligence. The only difference is, when I got part of the story wrong I wasn't a prick about it. Have a nice day.
Plenty, but you dont seem to want to debate anything.
