I can't do this alone - there is just too much Dem corruption for one dirtboy to document. Anyone who wants to run with the topics I and others have mentioned, go for it.
Dodd should be forced to sell his real estate at a loss like everyone else.
Corrupt congress. This is but one of the 89% of the reasons why congress is a flop. Personal enrichment.
Dodd should resign. Shameful. Oops. Democrats have no shame.
impeach him!!
I have not faith that anyone in the federal government law enforcement agencies is going to investigate some of this hanky panky-I’d like to see a state attorney general do it.
FANNIE-GATE!
This should be the theme of McCain's message on Washington reform. This is a trillion dollar problem.
Politics of Personal Enrichment ping
Excellent article. You should work on publishing it on other sites too! I would volunteer for one, but I am a horrible writer. Good at research though...so if anyone needs that kind of help, let me know.
Remember the good old days when no one in Congress stayed in Washington any longer than needed because they had a farm/business/family that needed tending to?
Washington insider/beltway entrenchment will be a large contributing factor to the ultimate downfall of our country.
The current financial “crisis” is a perfect example of this.
Better yet, indict him on tax evasion. That sweetheart deal is imputed income.
It worked for Eliot Ness.
Calling Justice Department. Calling Justice Department.
“We’re sorry, but the number you dialed cannot be completed.”
BTTT
These “personal enrichment” threads would be an ideal place to add Howie Carr’s columns.
The Massachusetts kleptocracy is absolutely unbelievable, even by Democrat measures.
The Bush Justice Department
Many conservatives burrowed within the Department of Justice have long complained that Gonzales (therefore, Bush) has permitted career government employees and hold-overs from Democratic Administrations to remain in perches of power and thereby water down conservative directives from the top. As one conservative and Federalist Society member in the Justice Department told me: “This is definitely not Ronald Reagan’s Justice Department, I assure you. You have holdovers from Clinton calling the shots in a lot of places here.”

In another thread we see that Pelosi’s son works for Countrywide while taking bribes from InfoUSA whatever that is.
Its the Corruption Stupid.
Pray for W, Palin and Our Troops
Buuuump!
That brought an image to my head:
(1,000,000,000,000.0)
McCain has said that he will name names and make people famous regarding corruption during this campaign.
Frank Luntz was on Fox this morning saying how ANGRY the American public is with congress,and that they demand accountability.
He is dead on!
C’mon John,name names;
Bill Clinton
Andrew Cuomo
Jamie Gorelick
Alan Greenspan
Jim Johnson
Franklin Raines
Chris Dodd
Barney Frank
Also explain that only George Bush,in 2003-2004,and John McCain,in 2005-2006,were the only ones trying to correct this fiasco. And how congress,through threatened filibuster,blocked these efforts.
The American public would respond very favorably to such “straight talk”.
.....C’mon John,name names.....
Recall if you will the drunk driving charge against W on friday before the election, timed to make the weekend news but not enough time to mount a full rebuttal.
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday before the election the names should come dribbling out. A massive attack across a wide front to confuse and disrupt the media and be too large to mount numerous rebuttals..... that’s the ticket
That would be perfect!
The Drive-bys wouldn’t have time to drive by.
We have to get out the word - this wasn’t just about bad legislation or bad ideas. The Dems directly enriched themselves, their cronies and their relatives - and blocked efforts to halt the corruption, right to the edge of financial meltdown.
FreeRepublic blocks articles from this site. It seems to have an interesting perspective IMO.
