Like ‘rats deserting a sinking ship.
the deal was made so he could stay out of prison and get his Ambassador position...... these clowns do nothing for others,self interests rules their decisions.
Now if we can get Barney Frank to follow suit...
Step down, do not pass go, go to jail-that’s what should happen.
Thanks for posting that!
I heard on the news yesterday that John Fund is working on that.
I’ve been waiting for John Fund’s work on this.
Would you like me to post this article for everyone?
We may not be able to convince the voters in his socialist district to get rid of him but a conservative majority can make his life difficult in the House.
But what are the chances to replace them with, hopefully, conservative GOP candidates?
Actually, it would have been better for the GOP if Dodd didn’t retire because he would have most assuredly lost reelection. Now the likely Dem candidate is former state AG Richard Blumenthal, who will be more difficult to defeat.
Ya, they don’t want to spend their “hard earned” fortunes on a loosing cause, a cause they only believe in when popular... patriots of America they are not, patriots of themselves they are, its all about self preservation.
Good riddence. Dodd reads handwriting on the wall, and Dorgan - that (_*_) was the one who got lighters banned from commercial flights. The TSA reported during the time the ban was in effect, they were confiscating over 22,000 lighters per day, which took their mind off more important priorities.
But at least Dodd is finished.
If The Washington Post is to be believed, Democratic Senator Chris Dodd you know, the chap with the cottage in Ireland, the sweetheart deals with various mortgage companies that you and I, with no patronage to dispense, could never wrangle, and a reputation for honesty that rivals that of Barney Frank will announce later today that he is not seeking reelection. Embattled Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd (D), the paper reports, has scheduled a press conference at his home in Connecticut Wednesday at which he is expected to announce he will not seek re-election, according to sources familiar with his plans. Well, 30 years with his lips sewn to the public teat was probably enough

Couldn't he just pull a Spectre and switch parties?
No, wait. The GOP would never pay him what the Rats must have paid Spectre.
Glenn Beck discussed this last night. Scary.
The Motor Voter law was correctly identified as a facilitator of vote fraud. One of the few legal issues Barack Obama actually participated in as a lawyer was a 1995 suit against the State of Illinois, which he brought on behalf of ACORN.
Then Republican Governor Jim Edgars saw the newly passed Motor Voter act as creating the potential for massive vote fraud and refused to implement it. With the assistance of the Clinton Justice Department, Obama's legal team won that suit. Obama himself actually participated very little, a strategy that seems to have served him well in life.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, after identifying himself in court proceedings, Obama sat back and let "the heavy-hitters at the Justice Department make the arguments..."
It is not surprising that the Democrats are now choosing to push this new initiative, for universal voter registration will be Motor Voter on turbochargers. And who better to sign it into law than the President from ACORN.
That's why I am not happy that Dodd retired - it would have been easier to run against him, being a flawed candidate.
This was not good news for the GOP.
