Warned you about Cox, urged you to write to Congress about Cox. Now, he da man!
You boys did not listen!
As you know, Cox has a history of both civil indictment and criminal indictment for his involvement in bilking the elderly out of millions and millions of dollars through a well orchestrated Ponzi Scam. Some of his partners in that, are still in prison.
Cox wrote the laws which led to Worldcom and Enron. Cox is Bush criminal puppet.
Cox is a crook, worse than Bush.
Now, he da man! The SEC man!
Watch for a horrific increase in stock market related financial crime. Cox will see to it.

You know I wrote thousands of letters to the senate and to the house, to governors, to the media, urging them to shoot down the Cox appointment. He is voted in by the Banking and Finance committee, one-hundred percent "yes" vote.
Cox, one of the masterminds of a Ponzi scam which defrauded millions of dollars from the elderly in California, indictments for his criminal activity, enabled the Worldcom and the Enron debacles, and now heads the SEC.
Be sure I am writing to Cox to advise him I know he is a crook, I know he is corrupt and to advise him I will nail his hide to a wall every chance possible, deservingly so.
Bush, Cox, Rove, Rumsfeld and the rest. How is it Americans are so blind to Bush and gang destroying America for personal profit?

I don't think it is blindness PG, I think that the American public is numb to it all. Back in Nixon's era, the majority of the American people would not stand for it. We the people had the right people in Congress to stand up for us and get rid of the bad seeds. Now, everyone is so busy mincing words and mixing it up, no one knows anymore who is right or even what they are standing for. I am of the oppinion Bush is banking on this "confused" state to pull off this crap. All we see now are message boards of f- this and f- that, a definite reduction in the power of the movement. Go to Sacramento to get your permit to protest...let's be real...
PS- I have written my share of letters too, mainly to get the token- thank you voter for sending we will look into it... Sincerely

They have preached Party Party Party so long there are a couple of generations now that have come to believe that any and every thing not directly from the Party is unamerican and that patriotism is adherence to Party line. It isn't so difficult. Through the years, it has happened in one country after another. Any time you find any claim of a Party being the heart and soul of a country or society and that becomes prevalent, you end up with a quasi-dictatorship, at least. Nixon was a crook and lead a movement of thugs and crooks who very nearly usurped the Constitution. These are the same thugs and crooks and they have learned to disguise the takeover as party rivalry. Instead of answering questions, they attack the questioner with labels they have taught the Party faithful to hate, like Pavlov's dogs.

I'm reminded of the guy who runs out of gas in front of a farmhouse. Long walk to the house, but it's the most reasonable choice on the old country road. As he nears, he makes out an elderly couple on the front porch, rocking, sipping iced tea...and an old hound laying nearby.
"Excuse me, folks," he starts--but suddenly the hound starts wailing...ooooooowwwwwwoaaaahhh
"but I ran out of gas" --oooooaawwwwaahhhh
"and I was wondering" --oooooaaawahhh
He stops talking and the dog stops.
He looks at the old man, still rocking.
"Say, what's up with that dog?"
The old man rocks, and the dog is now quiet for a moment.
"Well," says the old man, "he's laying on a nail that's stobbed up outta the floor."
"So why doesn't he move?" asks Mr. Outta Gas.
"Oh...he will--when it hurts enough."

got sidetracked in my normal 5-8am stock research sat+sun mornings by researching christopher cox this weekend, as you probably know bush recently appointed him head of the SEC. really made me angry at both parties and actually the *democrats* most of all that his appointment breezed through. is sad, imho - i view the head of the SEC as someone who should be an investors *advocate*. yet - his voting record clearly shows he's taken a stance *against* investors greater than 95% of the time, literally. if you recall the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, removing various protections from investors, from a few years back: basically clinton vetoed it but cox led the charge to override the veto, and won. of course it was arthur anderson, enron, etc that were the main backers of the legislation, and it led to things like investors having no recourse for things like enron, worldcom, and tyco. no surprise that worldcom was one of cox's biggest donors. a duke U law professor famously quoted the legislation as "the ultimate in special-interest legislation."
not to even mention the fact that cox clearly was a major mastermind in bilking elderly california investors out of $136M in a ponzi scheme, but of course bought his way off. this is widely documented, this is perhaps the most amusing link about it though:
it's sad, but imho - typical bush. instead of appointing someone who actually cares about the environment to act as an *advocate* for it, a typical appointment these days is to appoint someone who will immediately endorse strip-mining the ANWR. cox is no different - much like arnie with chevron et al, a bought-and-paid-for corporate tool, an ANTI-advocate for the investor, seeking yet more and more protections for companies. about as *classic* a case of putting the fox in charge of the henhouse as you can possibly get.
honestly i blame *democrats* most for not raising more of a stir about cox, a pathetic display that they stood by and did diddlysquat while he breezed through. i think this sentence from this editorial from the LA Times best sums it up:
"Senate Democrats' willingness to accept such a quid pro quo from Bush would suggest that this party has no fight, no heart and no soul."
entire editorial is here, if you read nothing else about cox, read this one - short, and quite well written I thought:
honestly - i'm more angry with the democrats than the republicans over this one, they completely FAILED PATHETICALLY by letting cox breeze through without a peep.
