Another lying asshole - Sen. Christopher Dodd

[JB3]

​

I hope you join me in wishing Sen. Dodd a speedy recovery.

I do wish him a speedy recovery, but that doesn't change the fact that he's a lying scumbag.

 

[JB3]

^ Keeping it classy, huh?

Hey, when you're as big of a lying asshole as Dodd is, you get treated the way you deserve to be.

I'm sorry he has cancer, and I really do wish him the best. But that does not excuse his behavior and he deserves to lose in 2010.

 

[JB3]

^ Funny, you reserve your moral outrage for a sick man. What political party are you affiliated with? Oh! THAT'S RIGHT! You guys think pulling insects' wings off is high-larious, and, and, and blowing frogs up with cherry bombs is a laugh riot! The [STRIKE]Denise[/STRIKE] Dennis Miller school of humor. Best of luck tooya, what with karma being a bitch and all.

Uh no. Dodd has been a lying sack of shit since he was last re-elected. It is you who is conjuring up this imaginary idea that I've only started criticizing once he became sick.

His sickness is separate from his (terrible) record as a Senator. He deserves to lose, sick or not. If you can't understand that, well, have fun in la-la land.

I wish him a speedy recovery. I hope he spends a lonnnnggg time in jail for his crimes against America.

He, with Barney Frank, has destroyed the American Economy.

 

[justapixel]

Please dont change the subject.

This thread is about the lying asshole Dodd who should be given a life sentence for destroying the American Economy.

Dodd gets prostate cancer. Karma is a terrible thing.

 

[justapixel]

Do you have a link? Cite? Proof? Of this allegation?

You know it is true.

 

[jackoroe]

Wishing somebody ill, is really bad form. Don't like Dodd all that much, but he's a human being with a family and people who care about him. I wish him a full recovery and a happy retirement.

 

[JB3]

So you got nothin.

The only thing I've ever heard from the radicals is that Barney Frank destroyed America because he got to be the Chairman of the Financial Services Cmt. and how "easy" loans he enacted ruined everything.

People forget that Republicans were in charge of the House up until January 2007 and Barney Frank only got his Chairmanship after the switchover.

Yet the prime tool that measures home values is Case Schiller guide. Nationwide home values peaked sometime in the 2nd quarter of 2006, before the election and any switchover in the House. (Source: http://www2.standardandpoors.com/po...s_csmahp/0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,3,0,0,0,0,0.html )

So pray tell how did the minority party (Democrats) cause this recession and the crash in home values when they started crashing before the Republicans were voted out? And how do you peg the responsibility for the entire economic meltdown on 2 individuals you despise?

Makes no sense, now does it?

Because even the minority party has the power to prevent things from leaving committee, like harsher regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac:

Barney Frank and other key dems denied those two entities were facing any trouble or risk, when it was clear that they were.

Jack, help me out, would you? I mean, you're a smart guy -- you've risen through the JUB ranks to become a moderator, so you can't be stupid.

How is it you ignored all of the Republican fuck-uppery, all of the transgressions: the fakery about WMD, the needless war in Iraq, the scandals involving billions of dollars and thousands of lives in Iraq, all of which you remained silent on or indeed defended, yet you focus on some minor stuff concerning Dodd?

So please, tell me, how is it that you ignore the big Republican stuff? Can you see where reasonable people would see a bit of good old hypocrisy at work here on your part?

Nope, no hypocrisy here. I don't think there's too much to make of most of those issues being as both parties were complicit. The dims went right along with the pugs in voting for the war. Then they had plenty of opportunities to end it and didn't after they took over. So, they own all that it is, as well.

In terms of scandals, they all pretty much suck. Not to be outdone by Illinois, we just had 44 politicos and a Rabbi or two locked up in Jersey for having their hands in the cookie jar. Only one pug was involved. So many people got locked up, they had to load them all on a bus.

So, forgive me if I don't get my panties all twisted up in a bunch. I'm kinda jaded as it relates to corruption.

Droid I have to agree with Alfie here. Your link says nothing about Frank and the rules of the U.S. House say the minority can't stop anything from leaving committee.

But if you believe different then explain to me why don't republicans stop the healthcare bill, which they are almost all against, from leaving committee?

 

[HenryReardon]

Um, and in reading this article from 2003 (giggle!), Barney Frank's name isn't even in it -- he isn't mentioned, nor is Sen. Dodd.

y?

Better get some new glasses. From the article:

''These two entities -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- are not facing any kind of financial crisis,'' said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ''The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.''

Wasn't this about the time that slobbering Barney was fucking and/or being fucked by a Fannie Mae executive??????

Better get some new glasses. From the article:

So it does Henry. Since you are such a stickler for detail maybe you can explain to me how the minority in the House stops anything from passing?

Unless you can I'll have to continue believing that the bill proposed by the Bush Administration for increased oversight of Freddie and Fannie failed because it did not receive enough republican support.

We've been down this road before.
Various members have explained, with more patience than you deserve, how a determined minority can stall things in committee. If a bill doesn't get out of committee, it doesn't get to the floor.

 

[HenryReardon]

*GASP* Perhaps it is you that need to put away the glasses and start listening, you know to people who know what the hell they are talking about. Let it be said:

]

Sidestepping again.

A statement was made that Barney Frank's name wasn't in the article.

A quote was posted to disprove that statement.

Your response, as usual, was a distraction.

 

[HenryReardon]

-- I made that mistake in the surplus thread and all I got for my trouble was a deep dislike for people who cannot handle the truth.

That being the case, you must be disliking yourself intensely at the moment.

 

[justapixel]

^ In the face of all that you present, they STILL believe a single fat Jewish congressman from the MINORITY party -- one man -- created the near-depression!

You are forgetting the subject of this thread - Senator Dodd. He help create the near-depression, too.

Both should be arrested and jailed for life.

 

[HenryReardon]

^ Ah, no, Mary, no. You know --- nevermind, digging up the facts won't matter because you simply ignore them. You just keep fibbing, Sistah, but remember that the cruelest lies you tell are the ones you tell yourself. Fer shame.

You just can't get over the fact that I wiped the floor on that thread, using you as a sponge.

So sad. So typical. So very sad. So very typical.

 

[HenryReardon]

[IAh, Henry, no one but no one agreed with you. ?

I guess you still need reading glasses. Go on and dream your foolish dreams, but it won't change anything.

Over and out.

I probably don't deserve an answer to this question and it very well may be over your head (in which case feel free to sidestep it ) but could you explain to me why the current determined republican minority failed to stop Obama's stimulus package or failed to prevent the healthcare bill from being reported out of committee last week?

From their public comments it seems to me that had they the ability to stop it they would have.

I find your knowledge of U.S. House rules to be lacking.

The Republicans were too inept to be in charge when they had a majority, and they are too inept to be an effective minority. So much for the Republicans.

As for your last comment, one can only say, 'spoken like a sophomore.'
