1. How do people find Chris Dodd? |
|
A friend of mine interned in the Senate on the Foreign Relations Committee and said that Dodd was a major-league asshole. Of course, that's just hearsay, and my friend is an independent, not a Democrat. But I'm curious if his observation accurate.

3. He's considered a moderate |
|
Or "too liberal" for the GOP base, according to the FAUX news talking head who was stunningly quick to add (paraphrasing): "Not to say there isn't support for his liberal views out there."

4. Dodd has 'President Senator Syndrome' |
|
Lots of senators think they should be president and could be president. No one has done it since Kennedy, and he only managed to do it with the 'help' of his dad's 'connections'..
Senators just have too much baggage...and most of it's ON TAPE. They have to make too many compromises and unholy alliances.
I'm sure that someone will come along and do it again, but every election cycle is littered with the failed campaigns of senators who have "safe" senate seats, and decide to try their luck at the presidency.
Familiarity breeds comtempt, and we just know too much about them..

6. Bad dude. Pushed the "Hack America's Vote Act" through Congress. |
|
Ve-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ery bad. Right up there with Wally O'Dell (Diebold), ES&S (Howard Ahmanson), James Baker and the whole Bush/Saudi cabal.
You want to know why Bushite corporations are now 'counting' all our votes with "TRADE SECRET," PROPRIETARY programming code and virtually no audit/recount controls?
Christopher Dodd--in collusion with the two biggest crooks in Congress, Tom Delay and Bob Ney. 2002-2004: The end of election transparency, and, in essence, the end of our right to vote.
DODD DID IT!
DO. NOT. VOTE. FOR. DODD. FOR. DOG-CATCHER. (You'd never see your dog again.)
Not that he cares. He and his buds have got control of your vote now.
He's also Bilderberg-- Global Corporate Masters of the Universe--and on my top ten list for probable Bush Jr. puppetmasters.
