   Looking to get one of those government guaranteed mortgages, Sen. Dodd?

   All I can say is that if you are surprised by anything that these dirtbags (like Dodd) do, then you simply HAVEN’T been paying attention.

   At one time I thought the (D) after a politician’s name meant Defendant. It is clear now that the (D) stands for Denier.

    Perhaps Dodd wants to cash in on McConnell’s proposed 4% interest loans.

    You’re welcome. I understand and agree with you. Sadly, I’m mostly a realist at heart with touches of optimism and idealism. I’m more opptimisic when my morning’s coffee has had its desired effect: )

    Why is it that Democrats who blatantly refused to pay taxes until they’ve been caught (Rangel, Geithner, Daschle) and those who know they’ve done wrong (Dodd & his refinancing) only have to shrug their shoulders and say, “Oops. My bad. I really didn’t know. It was an honest mistake. Really!”…they always get away with it…and the damn GOP lets them. If the situation were the reverse, there would be blood in the water and the left would be crying holy hell about corruption, ethics, honesty, etc. etc.

    The GOP has no balls and they need to get those tired old socialites like McConnell and McCain out of office and get some new young fiery people in there who are willing to show some sack and hold people accountable for all this obvious BS. I’m sick and tired of the way people act, lie, cheat, and steal in this country and get away with it!

    So I guess he found his paperwork and discovered that he did really get “special consideration”. Big of him, but my guess is that rates are lower now than they were when he got his “good deal”, otherwise, he wouldn’t be doing this. Dems do NOTHING that is NOT to their benefit…..

    Dodd says he’s moving the loans in part because he was wrongfully labeled a friend of Countrywide’s former CEO, Angelo Mozilo. Dodd says he never sought special treatment.

    Also, he’s moving the loans because he can get an even better rate with the market down. What an honest guy!!!

    Anyone else noticing how all these Dems are tossing out their “I’m sorry” and the “I’ll just make it right” gestures and getting away with it?

    Only Dems are allowed to lie, cheat and steal. Once caught they just say I’m sorry, pay some money and move on. No questions asked.

    WHERE IS THE MEDIA? WHERE ARE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DEMANDING BETTER?

    Great idea, they also have no accountability or scruples, which is a very nice combination.

    I wonder if Sen. Dodd will be refinancing his mortgages on Marvin Gardens, St. James Place and Pacific Ave. as well?

    The media is part of the problem. The American people don’t know because the media doesn’t do it’s job. Because you know if anyone is critical of this administration you are either a racist or unpatriotic.

    I still wonder why democrats who headed up the banking committee in the House (Frank) AND Senate (Dodd) seem to feel no responsibility whatsoever for the banking collapse we’ve watched over the last half year.

    I’m not a tax professional, but I’m pretty sure “benefits” like the ones received in his sweet mortgage deals would be taxable as income. Perhaps Democrat Dodd should be subject to a surprise audit by the IRS. There seems to be an increasing trend among Democrats with “forgetting” to report income.

    The media have marginalized the outspoken conservative voices. The media spokespeople poo-poo the likes of Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, et al, and the lemmings of the public follow suit.

    Whatever happened to the most ethical congress ever part? Seems like every other day there’s another Democrat crook saying he’s sorry for a “mistake”, or “oversight” or “make up whatever excuse fits for the day”.

    If Republicans did this, they’d be asked to resign, step aside, move along, etc.

    In other words… this stunt will make sure he doesn’t have to release the info that should have him standing in front of a Federal Judge.

    Washington DC is looking more and more like the Corrupt Sewer Chicago.

    old chris dodd was one of the pieces of white bread with ready teddy in a new york eatery debauch. if he wasn’t embarrassed into leaving office over that, do you really think a little cronyism and pay for play deal with mozzilla will bother him. HE’S SORRY ALREADY, AND HE’S REFINANCING NOW SO CUT THE WEASEL SOME SLACK. sarc off.

    He is only refinancing because his hometown Hartford Courant on Sunday ran an editorial about Dodd’s stonewalling. The WSJ ran an editorial on Saturday. Dodd thinks that by refinancing he will end the matter and the papers he is hiding don’t have to be made public. His two page HUD RESPA will tell the world what he paid to get his mortgages. And Dodd won’t release this two page sheet. From now on he should always be referred to as Christopher Dodd (D-Countrywide)

    You mean the IRS now headed by a guy (Timmy!) who also failed to pay close to $40,000 in owed back taxes because he too had lapse and is sorry? Is that the IRS you want to investigate Dodd? Or is there another sensible, more sane IRS you speak of? Perhaps a Superman Bizarro world IRS…?

    Democrats investigating Democrats is like OJ spending all his former free time looking for the real killer… The judicial branch is where the problem is. No one is willing to prosecute… oh, or has Obama fired all the US DA’s with no media hub-bub like Clinton did?
