WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite their denials, influential Democratic Sens. Kent Conrad and Chris Dodd were told from the start they were getting VIP mortgage discounts from one of the nation's largest lenders, the official who handled their loans has told Congress in secret testimony.
Both senators have said that at the time the mortgages were being written they didn't know they were getting unique deals from Countrywide Financial Corp., the company that went on to lose billions of dollars on home loans to credit-strapped borrowers. Dodd still maintains he got no preferential treatment.

Also, since this is my first thread, please let me know if I did anything incorrectly.My only beef would be relating AP to the GOP. The truth knows no party and the GOP has its fair share of politicians that are there for the power and glory - not the truth.

Democrats specialize in forcing Republicans to resign while maintaining their own longevity.

I’m glad this is hitting the fan, but I’m almost as upset that what was supposed to remain “secret,” didn’t.

CNN money has come out with article saying that obamacare is not good. Ted Turner probably sent that writer to a new position at the Snellville Times.

Perfect post and brought a smile to my face as AP articles are definitely changing. Wonder what is going on with them? Just another sign of the end times.... Next thing you know, they'll be running flattering stories about Palin's deep intellect and global experience!

Governor Rell (R) appears to be popular in Connecticut, and she just had several budget vetoes overturned by the democrat controlled Connecticut legislature, so there is a chance to beat Dodd in that state. I think pressing the corruption issue along with pointing out the financial irresponsibility of the dems will help.
