Bloggers push results in Dodd mortgage action – Updated

By Steve McGough / February 2, 2009 /

Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Countrywide) has announced that he will refinance his mortgages through a third party and switch them to a different broker. Dodd maintains that he was not a friend of Angelo, and has been wrongly accused of requesting favorable rates from Countrywide. I assume that the Senate Ethics Committee investigation continues. Guess he…

The Heat Is On

By Jim Vicevich / February 1, 2009 /

OK … lukewarm … but both the Hartford Courant .. Mr. Dodd should have released the documents months ago. Countrywide was a major player in the subprime mortgage debacle. Five years ago, it issued the loans to Mr. Dodd, then a member of the Senate banking committee, as part of the company’s VIP program, trimming…

Your local bank is in fine shape, thank you

By Steve McGough / October 6, 2008 /

Earlier today, Chris Dodd – senator from Connecticut and Senate Banking Committee chairman – stopped by the Sheraton Hotel at Bradley Airport to meet with Connecticut business and labor leaders. He hoped the market would react positively to the federal government taking over a good chunk of the U.S. housing market. As of noon ET,…

Dodd/Frank financial reform…haste makes confusion

By SoundOffSister / September 7, 2010 /

The recently enacted Financial Reform bill, brought to us chiefly through the efforts of Senator Dodd (D. Ct.) and Congressman Frank (D. Ma.), was, like much of the handiwork of this Congress, passed in haste. Remember, something had to be done immediately so that we never have another financial meltdown like we just had?  This…

Dodd makes JW’s Top 10 corrupt politicians

By Jim Vicevich / December 29, 2009 / Comments Off on Dodd makes JW’s Top 10 corrupt politicians

Judicial Watch has come out with its list of the Top 10 most corrupt politicians. Not many surprises although I guess taking payoff money for Nebraska doesn’t count. H/T to Hotair for the leg work. Read Ed’s take. Pretty good. Chris Dodd is number one on the list … unfortunately, it’s alphabetical. 1. Senator Christopher Dodd…

Dodd: We Senators are kinda like war heroes.

By Jim Vicevich / December 27, 2009 /

Last week we posted Newt Gingrich’s speech where he called on Americans not to give up the fight to stop an out of control expanding government. Don’t tell me you’re tired, he said, not when Washington’s troops kept fighting in the snow, even when they had no shoes.

Dodd declares – economic crisis ended when Obama took office

By Steve McGough / December 7, 2009 /

Just received an e-mail update from Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.). It seems as though our economy is still “feeling the effects of last year’s crisis.” Now, last year was 2008, and this year is 2009. I guess he figures since President Obama took office, the crisis must have ended and it was – of course…

“Qualified” insurance plans and the Constitution

By SoundOffSister / September 28, 2009 /

I recently did a post on the constitutionality of Congress’s  plan to mandate that all have insurance or be forced to pay a tax.  That post got me thinking about other aspects of Obamacare.  One of the key provisions of all bills floating around Congress is that not only must you have insurance, but you also…

Some images from yesterday’s rally

By Jim Vicevich / September 13, 2009 /

Just thought I would pass along a couple images that left a lasting impression. The first is actually from a video which I have included. Porta potties. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmNk_PyiP1M The second is just an image of one of the signs. I like it. But then, you didn’t expect the MSM to detail the bills did you?…

Dodd spokesman calls Tea Party Patriots “Tea-baggers”

By Jim Vicevich / September 12, 2009 /

Extreme, fringe, and tea-baggers … this is what your Senator thinks of all of you. And the very fact that he has had to resort to using fowl sexual language to describe his constituents gives you a good indication of the state of his campaign. Chris Dodd won’t improve his chances of re-election with talk…
