Ping to a Republican-American Editorial.
If you want on or off this list, let me know.
It’s a non-issue. Democrat corruption doesn’t count, ya know...
Sen. Dodd is no different from many of his colleagues. Speak out of one side of the mouth and do something to enhance his own wallet or his own chances for re-election. We as Republicans should be mounting an aggressive campaign against him and forcing him to give back the $75,000 as well as grovel for having sinned. I don’t know if this is an election year for him or if we have a good candidate to oppose him, but I would like to see him tossed out as a sacrificial lamb like Sen. “Torch” Toricelli was tossed in 2004.
He should be tossed due to bad ethics and for making stupid excuses which the media have played along with. I’d rather have a Senator play footsie than to take bribes for being in an influential committee in the Senate.
It might be time for Dodd to jump to the national stage and join the Obama ship of state. He’d be a classic Gilligan to the Skipper.
$75,000??
It never ceases to amaze me how cheap you can buy a politician...
The sheeple will vote him back in. Be assured of that.
Dodd was only “a member” of the banking committee when he got the loan. Since the rat take over, he’s the chairman of that committee. Think of all the juice he can squeeze now. As a matter of fact that’s exactly what he did in his joke of a presidential campaign.
He’s just another powdered wig!

The scary part is that Dodd’s approval rating is 51%. That’s higher than the overall congressional approval rating, which, despite the latest loaded puff poll, has remained consistently in the high twentieth percentile fir the past two + years.
Politicians almost never have to suffer the consequences of their actions. If a private company had been taking the employee retirement contributions they are entrusted with and spent it, they would have been jailed decades ago.
Over all congressional approval ratings are in the single digits but individual ratings in their own districts are much higher. (Everbody’s congressman’s a bum, except for mine)
Even if Repubs have a candidate, Dems rarely get voted out of office for corruption. It is just expected and understood that Dems are corrupt.
Don’t worry. Dodd will be re-elected by his usual huge majorities when he runs again in 2010.
Prime candidate for BHO VP. Two peas in a pod.
That's right, because if it did, there wouldn't be a Democrat left in office anywhere by now.
Sounds like a whole host of Democrats are involved in real estate kickbacks and corruption. Perhaps Dodd uses the same realtor as Chuckie Rangel.
Dodd as veep would be a gift!
