A HousingPANIC message to Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Hillary Clinton and any
2008-05-12 11:55:00 Barney, Chris, Hillary and Friends,If you spend one penny of direct taxpayer money, or expose the American taxpayer to any more risk than we already have (Fannie, Freddie, FHLB, FHA, etc) THEN WE WILL HOUND YOU, WE WILL TAKE OVER YOUR OFFICES, WE AND WE WILL VOTE YOU OUT THE NEXT CHANCE WE GET.WE ARE THE MAJORITY. The vast majority of Americans who rent, who OWN, and who didn't treat homes as lottery tickets these past few years. WE ARE THE HONEST ONES, THE RATIONAL ONES, THE SANE ONES.

Is it because you feel propping up artificially high housing prices is good for America, or for future generations? Or is it ...

We all understand how much is at stake in this election and that it is more important than ever that we put a Democrat in the White House. And while both of our Party’s remaining candidates are extremely talented and would make excellent commanders-in-chief, I am throwing my support to the candidate who I believe will open the most eyes to our shared Democratic vision. I’m deeply proud to be the first 2008 Democratic presidential candidate to endorse Barack Obama. He is ready to be President. And I am ready to support him - to work with him and for him and help elect him our 44th President.

Dodd Endorses Obama
2008-02-26 20:08:00 Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd announced his support for Barack Obama today in Cleveland, Ohio, becoming the first former Democratic candidate to endorse this cycle. Dodd abandoned his own presidential bid January 3, following a disappointing showing in Iowa. "I believe that Barack Obama has the experience, the ability, the vision to lead this country, to make a difference both at home and abroad. He's ready to be president and I'm ready to support him," Dodd told supporters.Though coming out for Obama is a blow to Clinton, Dodd suggested his endorsement shouldn't reflect negatively upon her campaign. Speaking with Obama, Dodd stressed party unity as the key reason for his support. "It is now the hour to come together," Dodd noted. "This is the moment for Democrats and Independents and others to come together, to get behind this candidacy." He added a word of caution to both campaigns, saying, "Be careful this week. We have good people running. We have remarkable people run...

Sen. Christopher Dodd to Endorse Obama
2008-02-26 15:18:00 Democratic Sen. Christopher Dodd of Connecticut plans to endorse former presidential rival Barack Obama. Dodd will endorse his colleague, a senator from Illinois, in Cleveland on Tuesday, according to a Democratic official close to Dodd who requested anonymity because no formal announcement had been made. Dodd's support, coupled with his liberal credentials, could provide a boost for Obama as major contests near in big states such as Ohio and Texas on March 4. Obama has won some key Democratic endorsements in recent weeks, including Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, a close friend of Dodd. Obama and rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton had been vying for Dodd's support since he exited the presidential race after a poor showing in the Iowa caucus last month. Dodd, who won his Senate seat in 1980 and chaired the Democratic National Committee from 1995-1996, has long-standing ties to the Clintons. Dodd is a "superdelegate," one of nearly 800 Democratic officeholders and party offic...

Senator Dodd proposes Government Housing Gambler Mortgage Bailout Corporati
2008-02-08 05:29:00 And then, right on time, the monkeys in government proposed a new government entity that would get the US taxpayer into the mortgage business, all in the hopes of propping up plummeting housing prices and bailing out mortgage-fraud-committing housing gamblers.Gee, I thought America was a free market economy who believed in the sanctity of contracts. My bad. I forgot, the Democrats are in charge now. And the investment banks want to see a return on their DC investment.In the end, all of this crap - Dodd's RTC2 plan, Clinton's 5-year interest-rate-freeze stupidity, and the goings-on with Fannie, Freddie and FHA, just show how important housing prices are to America and our fake Ponzi Scheme economy.When home prices were shooting to the moon and detached from price-to-rent and price-to-income metrics, nobody in government said boo. But prices start coming down to rational levels, and EVERYONE FREAKS THE F*CK OUT.Memo to the monkeys in DC - LET THE FU*KING MARKET CORRECT. When home ...

Obama and Huckabee Win Iowa, Chris Dodd Drops Out
2008-01-04 04:47:00 With 96 percent of the precincts reporting, Barack Obama has sealed a victory in Iowa with 38 percent of the vote. Edwards and Clinton are in a tight race for second place. Edwards currently has 30 percent of the votes and Clinton is close behind with 29 percent. The two are separated by only 11 delegate votes. Mike Huckabee received 34 percent and Mitt Romney came in second with 25 percent. CNN announced tonight that Chris Dodd would be dropping out of the race after a poor showing in Iowa. Dodd had moved his family to Iowa so that he could spend as much time campaigning there as possible. Clinton also had a bad night.

Wil Wheaton Rocks The Vote, Applauds Dodd
2007-12-19 09:46:00 Writer/actor/blogger Wil Wheaton popped the political bubble on his website, WWdN:iX yesterday with the following post.Thank you, Chris Dodd When the Democrats -- who I thought were the good (or at least the anti-Bush, and pro-Constitution) guys -- took back Congress in the last election, I was overjoyed. I thought we'd see an end -- finally -- to the Bush administration's recklessness and lawlessness that's made me feel ashamed to be American. Of course, the Democratic leadership has been a pathetic, embarrassing, contemptible, miserable failure, and now we see that not only have they enabled Bush's insanity, they've been willing participants, helping him and Dick Cheney feed our constitution into the shredder. Yesterday, for the first time in ages, I felt my faith in our government begin to return, and I have Chris Dodd to thank for it. It's been depressing to watch our Democratic congressmen -- the very ones we all worked so hard to put into the majority -- do no...

For speaking up in opposition to the Intelligence Committee's FISA bill, which would have granted retroactive immunity to the telcom corporations.Senators Feingold, Boxer, Kennedy, Wyden, Brown, and Nelson also joined Dodd in standing up to President Bush on this matter.If this had passed, companies like AT&T would have been granted immunity in the matter of warrantless wiretapping on the part of the Bush Administration in it's spying of American citizens.Dodd promises to filibuster this issue again in January if it continues to be part of FISA legislation.Read more here: Telecom Immunity Bill off the TableIt's a rare victory, so again, my kudos to Chris Dodd and the other Senators who fought for our rights today against the tyrannical Bush Administration.Our fight for freedom of speech continues.

Reid pulls FISA bill from Congress, backs down from Dodd and the grassroots
2007-12-18 03:10:00 The headline says it all…threatened with a filibuster and after eight hours of angry, eloquent debate on the vileness of supporting warrantless wiretapping and amnesty for lawbreaking telecom companies, Harry Reid has pulled the FISA reauthorization from the calendar for this Congressional session. Make no mistake–this bill will be back next year. Protection for AT&T and Verizon is too high a priority for Bush, Mike McConnell, and the other enablers like Harry Reid. But the battlefield will be very different next time around. Next time the momentum will be on the side of Chris Dodd, Russ Feingold, the ten Democratic Senators who voted against cloture, the many committed bloggers and activists who rallied the forces, and the thousands of committed Americans who wrote, sent e-mails, signed petitions, and made phone calls to stop this travesty of justice from becoming law.

Dodd filibuster teaches a valuable lesson about the American Mess
2007-12-17 16:14:00 As Martin noted earlier, Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) is filibustering ill-conceived legislation that would give telecommunications companies a pass for engaging in illegal spying activities on behalf of the Bush administration. Those of you who were hopeful in the wake of last year’s sweep of both houses of Congress by the alleged opposition party, and those who are hopeful that the Democrats will also take the White House next year, should take note of something: the filibuster is being conducted against Democratically driven legislation by a member of the majority party. This isn’t a case of outgunned Dems manning the gunports at the Alamo against the evil Republican majority. This is a handful of Dems being forced to defend the Constitution against their own goddamned gutless, bought-and-sold, whoremongering Democratic colleagues - and yes, I’m talking about you, Harry Reid. Be hopeful if you want, but I have not so far been able to find the names of presidenti...
One man stands: Chris Dodd to filibuster FISA spy legislation
2007-12-17 15:28:00 Today Chris Dodd is going to take the floor of the Senate chamber and not let go of it in order to prevent the passage of legislation that would not only reauthorize and extend the NSA surveillance program on millions of Americans, but would grant retroactive immunity from prosecution to the telecom companies that participated in this illegal program. Thank You, Chris Dodd has more details about what this means and what you can do to help. I also recommend Scarecrow’s post at Firedoglake for some eloquent thoughts on why our system of government must be preserved. Russ Feingold has also pledged to stand with Dodd. Here’s what Dodd himself has to say about the legislation and his opposition: ?Providing retroactive immunity to companies that may have violated the law will set a dangerous precedent,? said Dodd. ?Companies who violated the trust of thousands of their customers will be immune to prosecution and the details of their actions will stay hidden.
