Reid passed the earmark reform that the Republicans didn't do in 12 years. And somehow this was Reid's defeat? You wingnuts are really amazing. Where were you in the last 12 years? Which way did Reid vote? For or against? If a bill that Reid brings to the floor, and votes for is passed, how is it his defeat? Wingnuts are lying and grasping at straws.
6 years of Bush and his crony butt licking gang of neoklans and no such bill... About one week with Dems in charge, and we get something worth having... WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Senate on Friday approved a measure stripping taxpayer-funded pensions from members of Congress who are convicted of serious ethics offenses, such as bribery and conspiracy. The vote was 87-0. Sens. John Kerry, D-Massachusetts, and Ken Salazar, D-Colorado, attached the amendment to an ethics reform bill earlier this week. "The only thing crazier than giving a member of Congress convicted of a crime a federal pension is the fact that we still need a bill to prevent a convict from receiving their pension," Salazar said at the time. "A member of Congress who abuses their position of authority for their personal profit deserves a prison sentence, not a government pension." House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland, said Friday that the House will take up a similar bill next Friday. If passed by the House and signed into law by President Bush, the bill would eliminate pensions only for future members of Congress convicted of ethics offenses.
Poor misguided lefty. "Based on the exchange ratio and assuming Heinz's current, fully diluted capitalization, Heinz shareholders will receive â in addition to retaining their current Heinz shares â approximately 0.45 shares of new Del Monte company common stock for every share of Heinz common stock they hold. As a result, Heinz shareholders will own 74.5% of the new Del Monte at the close of the transaction â although the two companies will be entirely independent. The transaction is expected to close at the end of calendar 2002 or early 2003, subject to regulatory and IRS approvals."
I doubt you've never trade a security in your life. And LoZZZer, shame on you as someone who know's California business to not be privy to the Heinz/Del Monte relationship. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4196/is_20020614/ai_n10790306 http://www.atuna.com/markt/News Articles/starkist_is_not_moving_productio.htm http://harvardbusinessonline.hbsp.h...id=QA5YM2FXRHZYQAKRGWDSELQBKE0YIISW?id=794128
You're as a big a freakin' idiot as Toronto. Did I say Wikipedia is a "credible" source or did I use "report" in quotation marks with a disclaimer saying we'll see if Wikipedia makes a correction?
The articles you quoted say that at the time of spinoff, Heinz shareholders (ie, the public, not Heinz) would hold 75% of Del Monte. Your post saying that Heinz holds 75% of Del Monte is either a lie, or you're simply too stupid to understand the deal.
If you don't believe the wiki article, then why did you post it here? Also why aren't you answering the question about the lie that Paul something owning $17 million of Del Monte?
Looks like the wingnuts don't have any ability to think - either that or they'll just say anything to backup their lies. At the time of spin off, average Joe's each Heinz share became 1 Heinz share and 0.45 Del Monte share. The fact that he owns both Heinz and Del Monte shares at the same time does not mean that Heinz owns Del Monte! Do I need to explain this more slowwwwwly? I can't believe that anyone who's ever traded in the market doesn't understand this.
