Free-market Peter Schiff, who runs Euro Pacific Capital. He is now a potential Republican challenger to Sen. Chris Dodd in 2010.

“I'm interrupting my career. It's not like I want my new career in politics. But I'm willing to interrupt it the same way that somebody interrupted their career and joined World War II and went off to fight the Nazis. I don't think that I'm that heroic, and I don't think I'm risking as much as a soldier. But it's the same principle,” Schiff said

If I still lived in CT, he’d have my vote.

One could argue that Chris Dodd’s actions with Fannie and Freddie caused far more damage to America than the Nazis.

Schiff seems like a good guy and a patriot.

I'm familiar with Peter Schiff from the YTUBE videos. He makes more sense than anyone else I've heard on economics.

He seems to be a good guy. If I lived in CONN I'd vote for him.

The banking crisis was an inside job. And Chris Dodd got compensation.

Rule number one to run as a Republican in today's political environment:

Don't give a flying fudge what they say, or whether or not they like what you say. If they tell a lie that is clear defamation, sue them in order to cause "discovery" which will open THEIR past up to scrutiny as well.

If they call you "racist"...just say "prove it".

Perception is reality in most cases, and the way the libs have acted this past year, it is a lot closer to Nazi than American...so live with it, Chris "fanny mae" Dodd. By the way, thanks for all the foreclosers you SOB.

A good umpire/referee never, ever reverses his call...it's like negotiating with terrorist, nothing good can come of it.

Rule number two: stop being afraid of the so-called "main stream media", they are nothing but the propaganda arm of the obama regime; there are enough fair and conservative outlets now to get your story told, you don't need the media. Stop running scared of your silly little job...besides, if you cow-tow to them, we'll throw you out.

I'd rather stick to my principles and lose, than be a sellout and win.

Since he’s in the Financial Sector is he a Conservative or just another RINO?

can't tell you what his social policy is but his small government, free-market, low taxes, opposed to the Federal Reserve polices and stimulus packages, makes him a conservative in my eyes.
