There is alot more to the Chris Dodd scandal. Dodd has steadfastly refused to release the HUD RESPA statements from his Countrywide refinances. He won’t do so because it would reveal that Dodd, unlike other borrowers, was not required to pay a fee to get the lower interest rate when interest rates fell after Dodd signed for his commitment. Dodd also was not charged the traditional “points” that most borrowers are charged. Dodd misled the people of Ct. when he said that he did not have to release anything to the public because it was all on the local land records at the town clerk’s office. The only thing that is on the local land records is the actual mortgage and that tells us nothing other than Dodd got a mortgage. When Dodd was forced to admit that he knew about the Countrywide VIP program and that he was on the VIP list, Dodd said “My wife Jackie knew about it”. Dodd just threw his own wife under the bus. What a swell guy!

If anyone needs any extra data to include in a note to their Senator or Congressperson, try this one. The Democrats squeal about the Oil Industry and bloated salaries of their executives; Mozilo -CEO of Countrywide- and best friend to many democrats, including Senators Dodd and Conrad – made $97M last year in total compensation. Lee Raymond, CEO of Exxon Mobil made $26M in total compensation.

Who does the Dodd/Conrad $300B Bill bail out? The wealthier CEO and his cronies, all the more he can give back to them in quid pro quo or campaign contributions. Who says the Dems don’t understand fiscal responsibility?

I am lucky to be sitting home today thanks to another Air Combat Command Family Day turning the 3 day weekend into a 4 day for the troops that spend too much time away from the families and loved ones. Sitting home it gives me plenty of time to contact my Congress critters to vote against this monstrosity via e-mail and phone today. Thanks for the reminder Michelle. I know Senator Crapo is against this bailout, but still awaiting Senator “Wide Stance’s” reply.

Now if we could find anyone in the DOJ with the stones to follow-up on this questionable arraignment between the crooked Senators and this nefarious predatory lender aided by the stupidity and greed of irresponsible borrowers. They are probably too busy turning a blind eye to the sedition and treason of the NYT to do anything about this one.

It would really impress me to see most incumbents get thrown out of office this election cycle, but the sheeple with their short memories aided and abetted by the propaganda of the liberal MSM will continue to forget the excesses of the ruling class when they go to the polling booths.

A former CT Governor was sent to jail for receiving roughly the same dollar amount of freebies, from those that he officially oversaw, as Senator Dodd. I believe that the former Governor’s crime was lying about the gift transactions.

From initial reporting, it sounds like an aggressive prosecutor might have an equal case against Dodd’s impropriety and possible fraud.

Where is the investigation?

Senator Chris Dodd (DEMOCRAT) is a typical democrat crook. He sees nothing wrong in lying, cheating, smearing honest citizens, driving businesses out of the country or into bankruptcy, leaking military secrets to our enemies, lying, getting special “deals”, getting special deals for his family, lying, using his position of power to influence legal investigations either against his enemies or for his friends,more lying. The guy is a scumbag, racist, half wit, crook. Like Sen. Di Feinstein, (DEMOCRAT), who awarded her husband billions of dollars of war contracts, Senator Clinton, (DEMOCRAT) too much criminal activity to mention, Sen, Harry Reid, (DEMOCRAT) who made millions in dirty Vegas land deals, or BO and his yet to be released documentation of double dealing with his close friends on their way to Federal Prison, these filth see their primary role in Congress as raping America and damaging our businesses and citizens. Did I mention Sen. Ted Kennedy, (DEMOCRAT), thankfully soon to die and finally get to explain what did happen to Mary Jo? The Democrats have done more damage to America than al qaeda, starting with their addiction to slavery, starting a civil war, their Jim Crow and KKK, and their treason and criminal activity. I am sick of of these swine and celebrate their every death or criminal conviction .

Hey, what party are Dodd and Conrad in? The Boston Globe article strangely doesn’t say.

Not to defend them, but in Boston, it is just assumed you are a Dem, and it only has to be pointed out if you are one of the rare and elusive Republicans! They are just used to working that way.

Dodd the Fraud needs to be run out of Congress. I hope the CT voters are listening. I mean, how freakin’ ignorant can you be not to know what VIP means (or how freakin’ stupid does Dodd think the CT voter is to believe something as completely lame as that excuese? The Hartford Courant ran some articles, but it is pretty much a media blackout on the air.

Now if Dodd were a Republican…
