Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) said Friday that it "sickens" him that Massachusetts GOP Senate candidate Scott Brown could block healthcare reform if elected.

Dodd, a longtime friend and ally of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), blasted the Republican candidate to permanently fill Kennedy's seat over Brown's stance against the health bill before Congress.

"Health care was the cause of my friend Ted Kennedy's life," Dodd said in a fundraising letter for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC).

"So it sickens me that the Republican running to take Ted's place is vowing to be the 41st vote to kill health care reform," Dodd added.

Dodd is a quitter. What he says is irrelevant.

AIG chiefs pressed to donate to Dodd
As Democrats prepared to take control of Congress after the 2006 elections,
a top boss at the insurance giant American International Group Inc. told colleagues that Sen. Christopher J. Dodd
was seeking re-election donations and he implored company executives and their spouses to give.
The message in the Nov. 17, 2006, e-mail from Joseph Cassano, AIG Financial Products chief executive, was unmistakable:
Mr. Dodd was "next in line" to be chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, which oversees the insurance industry,
and he would "have the opportunity to set the committee's agenda on issues critical to the financial services industry.

DUD needs to take his dog and pony show somewhere else, real Americans see right through this two-faced devil

[Oldpuppymax]

Of course it sickens you leftist power-whores. Can’t STAND having the “little people” in charge of their own lives, can you, you thug.

[teg_76]

Screw the American people, as long as Ted Kennedy’s legacy is fulfilled, that’s what’s important.

[icwhatudo]

Dodd and Kennedy sexually assaulting a waitress and having people say “Huh? What are you talking about?” sickens me.

It THRILLS me.

Funny, but I don't recall Dodd, during his recent bout with cancer, leading by example and going off to Canada or the UK for his surgery.

Nope, stayed right here in the good ol US of A.

Dodd: Thought of Scott Brown blocking health reform 'sickens'

Yeah, your party rode into power in 2006 and 2008 on the mantra of pubbie corruption. And now, the overwhelming stench of your own vile corruption is too much for even a Senate Ethics Committee Whitewash to mask. Look in the mirror, fatboy, to figure out why the Dems are collapsing.

[Dem Guard]

Yeah, Hitler had a few legacies he failed to pass too. Good riddens to Ted and his legacies!

[gidget7]

GOOD! We finally have something, anything, to thank Dodd for. He is so unpopular in the NE, this could probably muster even more votes for Brown! Keep shooting yourselves in the foot, dems. It’s helping (us)

[mazda77]

Everyone needs to send barf bags to his office.

[Seruzawa]

Dodd.... Kennedy.... Franks..... I think I’m going to be sick.

[Bad Jack Bauer]

Teddy’s dead Chris. How he would vote, what he wanted, how he felt do not matter a tinker’s damn anymore. And you know what I find hilarious? That Ted Kennedy kept his seat until he died. You on the other hand quit before you suffered a humiliating defeat.

[edge10]

It sickens me that a person as responsible as Dodd is for the financial meltdown is in the US Senate and not behind bars!

At least he won’t be in the Senate for long.

[MrB]

It won’t be Brown that blocks HCR...
It’ll be his WIN that blocks HCR, as the congresscritters see the writing on the wall and decide not to vote for it.
