Another Washington Crook

Chris Dodd is another crook that's taken this country down with his greed and special privilages. He need's to be ran out of office and the State of CT. I waiting to see if the people of CT are going to reelect Dodd if they do that show you how smart they are.

dodd spector

dodd has been in washington toooo long. he has become as arrogant as obama,and doesnt care about what his people want,but the people in that state,as well as the people in mass,and california,are not bright enough to realize that they are being sold out,and keep sending crooks back,election,after election. look at waxman,the craptax and trade nut. he doesnt care if taxes go up,and franks,who denies all wrongdoing in the loans that brought about the downfall of the economy. these along with rangel,graham and others dont CARE what you want.

time to clean house,but it will take moms to do it,because they care more about the future of the children than they do some radical ideas,and political competition. these things,along with political correctness have been overdone,and every school teacher ive known have been loons. wonder how long it will take for them to finish indoctrinating children into wanting communism.

Doddering Dodd

Dodd is the epitome of "Senator Foghorn Leghorn" a generic

icon of the '50s world of cartoons. Through an accident of

birth, this bloviating blatherskite has ridden his liberal

credentials to the brink of the abyss. If he were, say the

senator from a southern state, he would have been tarred, feathered, and a distant memory by now. Instead, despite

his admitted "waitress sandwiches" with the Ted Kennedy,he

has moved up the rung of Dem politics to be in a leadership

position. This means being able to get the big dough, by

tit for tat and be teflon to media criticism. Media criticism?

That's reserved for Sarah Palin and any other Pub that

doesn't bow to Obama, and have the NYT as their "first

read" each morning.

Early Pollings' Shotgun Accuracy

It's about a year too soon to say anything meaningful about Chris Dodd's chances for reelection. I second Rick of PA. The opinion-makers have not yet started to indoctrinate Connecticut voters on what their opinion should be.

Chris Dodd

In spite of his poor attention, or lack of understanding, of the consequences with home loans he may well recover based on the other activity he has moved into and there is time for a normally Democrat State to re-elect him on the basis of the value of "seniority. If there was rhyme and reason on the selection of candidates elected many would not be in office. Unfortunately emotion, advertising and media support too often dictates who is elected.

Help

Dodd promised to help homeowners save their homes, now he's given up.....

Peter Schiff 2010

Chris Dodd has betrayed the trust of CT voters over the past months too many times. he is too close to bankers and other financial players to believe that he really has the best interest of the common man in mind. Peter Schiff is being drafted for senate in 2010. He is a free market proponent and strong opponent to additional govermnment intervention.
