How Stupid is Richard Burr? So Stupid as to Reject an Anti Insider Tradeing Bill for Congress...

How many bad votes can a single representative make?  There was his vote on DADT, his penchant for earmarks ($105,803,000 in fiscal year 2010 ranking 61st out of 100 senators) and the Food Safety Modernization Act, but with or without  an election around the corner, why make a stand on this? 

Big Government:

The third dissenter to the ban on congressional insider trading was Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC).  According to Sen. Burr, the STOCK Act “does no more than codify what existing law says.  It’s ludicrous.“   Sen. Burr called the legislation “insane,” equated the measure to passing a law requiring citizens to get a driver’s license (which already exists), and called himself and Sen. Tom Coburn “brave” for standing up against the ban.
