As a political conservative I have always found Christopher Dodd to be a pathetic joke, like his drinking buddy, Ted ("where's the bar?") Kennedy. The Waterbury Republican-American editoral was quite correct. Chris Dodd is a do-nothing senator with a record of embracing Castro and other Latin dictators that have declared themselves enemies of the U.S., by word and/or deed. That, alone, should disqualify him from any kind of serious consideration as a potential presidential candidate.

White-haired Christopher Dodd is basically a boring guy, even for a liberal politician. A senator from a smal state that is very over-taxed and has a horrible business climate (anti-busineess is more accurate). The major cities are mostly unlivable. Schools are mediocre. Connecticut is a good example of what happens when liberals move in and basically take over the political landscape. It's a mess. Oh, it still looks nice - but the cost of living is outrageous, taxes are ridiculous and the political leftists run almost everything, including the state legislature.

Chris Dodd does next to nothing for his state except show up at photo-ops or when the Groton submarine base was threatened with closure. He knows that he can get away with doing nothing because, like Ted 'The Swimmer' Kennedy in next-door Massachusetts, the citizens of Connecticut would vote for almost anyone who had a 'D' after their name on the ballot. Chris Dodd is a bad joke and a lazy, do-nothing senator. His candidacy is an insult to the intelligence of any voter, even a Democrat voter, who gives him a moment of serious consideration.

How dare you attack Bianca Jagger's ex-main squeeze. Next I suppose you'll bring up those entirely apochryphal stories about young Chris and old Ted rolling about the floor with a waitress, or doing cocaine together, or their drinking, or their foreign jaunts, or their contacts with the Soviets.

What next, you unrepentant member of the VRWC, a slander against Dodd Senior taking money from the insurance industry? The Dodd family got where it is in Connecticut today because they love the little people, really care about us, and know what's best for all.
