The Luck O' The Dodd

[cowboysarecool]

Check the polls, pal. The Dems are going down in political flames in 2010. May the DNC be forever politically destroyed!!!

[VoiceOfReasonQQ]

dumbest ad ever...also...i hope that everyone that reads the post by conceil8 understand that this is the the type of thinking they have...they are nutty...some are funny...some are scary, but ALL are nutty

[supershep55]

i find this offensive.....

[JackCarter123]

Then you're a moron.

[blacksnakethe1]

Like most con-artist talking points...no substance or context

[davidmesaaz]

Congress should have seen this financial crisis coming. Oh wait they did... Barney Frank and Dodd blocked all reforms to Fannie Mae. Frank in 2005 called Fannie Mae fundamentally sound...

[MooseOfReason]

Peter Schiff should run against Dodd in 2010.

[wrinkledlion]

Hey, this isn't JibJab!

[shuazu]

aren't there some irish-americans living in connecticut? this could seem to be a bit culturally insensitive.

[Jethro212]

Change is coming america! Oh wait, that change happened, its called massive corruption!

If you voted for these idiots, fix it in 2 and 4 years!

[evan17decipher]

This ad is awesome. All hail good humor and creative campaigning. All denounce the evil sorcerer who stole how to speak and campaign from Jesus' book that wasn't meant to be stolen while the author was tortured and replaced with online ripoffs. Revolution!

[walternyc]

The friend of Angelo also had the highest contributions from AIG.

[IrishDubliner99]

Pity all the congressmen are not paid only on the basis of merit performance bonuses . That way the taxpayers could have saved a lot of money over the past 10 years .

As regards the economy the Bush shower must have had their heads in the sand for the past 8 years given all the crap that's now seen :(

Maybe it's time for another American Revolution or another New Deal ? Obama is looking good and has done more in a few weeks than W did in two terms :)

[RecceMan90]

Yep Obama has done more Damage in 8 weeks than Bush could do in 8 years! Glad to see you European morons admit it!

A revolution may be coming and Obama wont like it!

[IrishDubliner99]

Nobody in Europe goes bankrupt because they need a serious medical operation . In the USA half the employees of the Private Insurance companies try to stop medical claims being paid and the other half collect the premiums from only those who are in good health . Makes Madoff's Ponzi scheme look like a charity :(

Americans are dumb to put up with such crap . The French , British and Germans would have had blood on the streets years ago if they had to put up with that shit!

[RecceMan90]

Nobody in America is on a waiting list! So yes WE PAY for it, yet we don't DIE waiting like the sheep in Europe, Canada and the rest of the Socialized world! I survived that system... I would pay TRIPLE to keep the same system we have here rather then the so called FREE Health Care! (Just follow were your rich people go for health care....money never lies)!

We would have blood in the streets if we had the economy Europe has...12% and rising unemployment.....lazy wimps!

[IrishDubliner99]

Nobody is on a waiting list because 60 million Americans don't have health insurance and many of those who think they have -haven't read the fine print !

Money never lies ? Sure -Just look at Madoff , Stanford , Evers , Enron , etc etc and the 20 or so Republican Congressman who were forced into resignation or into jail for bribery , corruption and worse . The fact that you would pay triple for 'corrupt' system just means you are another idiot) getting screwed! Wise up.

[RecceMan90]

There is no waiting in America, because the USER is responsible for payment! Not a rationed system! I survived the Canadian Health Care system....I have plenty of personal stories...ie Uncle dying in the waiting room, Father waiting 9 months for a bypass surgery, Grandfathers having multiple heart attacks but no specialist to help them!

Madoff is a Democrat, same with Enron, Evers....Stanford? do you know anything?

Dems are more corrupt and they get promoted....that's why Obama is Pre

[bittergunowner12]

Yep, in college one of my roommates was from Canada. He had some heart problems and he died while waiting to get for a bypass surgery, he was 51 yrs old.

[Paddywagonexpress]

It doesn't matter that you have good hospitals. We have fair three year waiting lists to see specialists and doctors who kill old people to make room in rat infested nursing homes. A yes socialism is grand.

[GrievousCommander]

My opinon is an opinon that many people have.

You call us all sorts of vile names, but we still stand on our principles.

Less government, more freedom.

I'm not saying all Republicans are right, or have a clean past.

I'm just saying it's foolish to put your full trust in the Federal Government, or Obama.

Anyway, I have to go to work and contribute to the GDP.

You take care of yourself. Bye.

[IrishDubliner99]

And now 93 Reoublicans have voted NOT to tax the ill gotten 'bonuses ' of the AIG insurance 'thieves' . I'm sure they 'll be reminded of their vote when the time comes . What a bunch of tossers . They should'nt be allowed to run a corner store.

Good man Obama keep it up . It's great to see the USA with a real leader with 'brains' for a change . Man that other dumbkopf was a real Charlie . And McCain confessed last September that the economy was sound and 'economics ' was'nt his forte . SJ

[RecceMan90]

IF the same 93 Republicans would have had their way....AIG wouldn't have recieved a dime and those bonuses that Dodd and Obama made exemptions for (meaning they were protecting the contracts) would be a mute point! AIG wouldn't exist and our economy would be in much better LONG term shape!

FYI, Obama is as smart as his sheep think he is....he is just smarter than them!

[GrievousCommander]

What are you parroting exactly?

Obamamania?

[GrievousCommander]

Last time I checked, George Bush is not the President, and Republicans do not control Congress.

Sooner or later, Dems will have to take the blame.

Let's start with Geitner, the Sercretary of the Treasury who cheated on his taxes.

Are people baying for his blood?

No, Obama has full confidence in him. And Obama is always right, huh?

Also, your childish insults are starting to degrate the seriousness of your argument.

Have I resorted to my supposed insulting nature yet? No.

[GrievousCommander]

Yes, I heard his speech.

He was standing before alot of drooling youngsters with his telemprompter guiding him.

He said he would take responsibility for these problems, even though he didn't cause them.

Even though his administration authorized the AIG bonuses, according to Dodd.

Which one is lying?

Also, if you think NBC is pro-corporate, then you truly haven't been whatching it latey.

They are Obama's secondary staff. They hang on his every word.

[GrievousCommander]

*Breaking News*

The measure to tax the AIG bonuses failed to pass.

Dodd failed to distract people from his mistakes.

Maybe now we can get down to the other 99.9% of the wasteful Bail-out.

[GrievousCommander]

Where do I stand?

I don't like the AIG bonuses either!

I don't like the Feds handing out our money period!

My point is that the Democrat administration is responsible for this mis-management.

Nancy Pelosi and her aids wouldn't even give Republicans a chance to read this monstrous bill.

The damn thing was passed on a Saturday night!!!

[GrievousCommander]

And you are always quick to attack corporations and C.E.O.s as the cause of all problems like the average NBC viewer or Soviet conscript.

I'm just trying to save us all some money from the hands of Dems with bail-out fever.

And where is Obama during all of this? He's always gone during the heat of a crisis. And when he does show up, it's always with his trusty telemprompter and chin held high.

Change we can believe in? I don't think many people are confident.

[GrievousCommander]

Such language...

Of course Democrats are squeaky clean during all of this.

Almost a trillion dollars spent in 3 months, and not a single penny of pork huh?

[GrievousCommander]

It is time somebody put a stop to Dodd, Frank, and the new Macarthyism.

These corrupt beauracrats are using the tax code to target individual citizens and their privacy.

All for the cause of lining their coffers under the guise of helping the working class.

OBAMA authorized the AIG bonuses, at least according to Dodd's finger-pointing.

Where's Obama?

He's busy making jokes with Leno.

[SeekerNLife]

Agreed, GrievousComdr.

Here's the thing...

If they nullify those AIG Contracts because AIG 'took bailout funds"...then the Union Contracts with the Automakers who also 'took bailout funds' can be nullified as well.

So...whatever they do to AIG, applies to the others who took bailout funds.

It will be interesting to see what they do.

There is truth in the old saying:

'Whatever you do to target the Big Guys, ends up hurting the Little Guys even worse.'

[GrievousCommander]

So why did Dodd change his statement about AIG three times?

"I have no idea."

"It was my staff."

"The Obama administration put it in."

If you are a socialist, just come out and say it.

The beauracrats are doing a bad job of keeping things secret.

[GrievousCommander]

You realize Dodd authorized the AIG bonuses, right?

Did you even know who Dodd was before you saw this.

[deathnotebringer]

yeah i mean this i just a ridiculous video and this does not make me want to elect dodd

[CMSonYT]

since dodd is so lucky I'm voting for him.

[GrievousCommander]

You really have no idea who he is or what he does, yet since he has a (D) in front of his name, you feel obligated to support him.

This is exactly the kind of idiotic behavior that led to the current problems in our once capitalist nation.

So yes, vote for beauracracy with all gusto!!!

[BeachDude1992]

ha ha ha

[zapponsalvia]

I see the Republicans are finally getting serious about leading the country with this advertisement. That's leadership right there folks!

[GrievousCommander]

Almost as good as Obama and his teleprompter.

[zapponsalvia]

Obama is awesome with a teleprompter, actually.

[halffade]

yawn

[kyanwan]

You have GOT to be kidding me. Not only has this idiot done our state no good ... but I wasn't aware he no longer lived here. Bleeding carpetbagger.

Well - Simmons for us in 2010 - or Lamont if the Dems can this loser.

And you fools NOT from CT - you have no idea how useless and unresponsive this guy is. I - and others have written and called this guy thousands of times. We never even get so much as a "Hey, I don't care about my constituents" out of this guy! He's GARBAGE.

[shalcall]

After watching this I thought to myself, well he has 7 fewer houses than John McCain. What a stupid ad for the republican party to put up.

[plasticerthenu]

wow stupid fucking polotics bitch bitch bitch STFU n00bs ROFL :P ir Pwnd u in ur $l33p

[sportzfinatic]

hello again john[rfagna[ri you worthless tool

[andybob63]

A bill can start in either House dude... I never claimed McCain started a bill, I said he publicly stated that this was going to happen. And like I said, the Minority party has little to no power in the House, and the Republicans are in the minority.

[mandelbaums]

Throw them all out.

[andybob63]

I tihnk you simply don't want to understand. Let me say this again. The. House. Republicans. Had No. Power. That clear now? Good. The Democrats could push through anything they wanted. The Senate Republicans couldn't filibuster everything. OK? I'm not going o reply to you again unless you bring up a new argument.

[patsagainstrats]

Dodd's old man was a crook too, just  like Ted Kennedy's.

[trabu12]

MALISIMO NO ENTENDI EL VIDEO !!

[funkymonkey2005]

wtf is this sht??

[Zile77]

Barney Frank and Chis Dodd created the Fannie and Freddie fiasco by writing laws loosening lending standards, thus forcing the banks to give mortgages to anyone without proof of credit worthiness. The entire economy built on a house of cards then collapsed, just in time for the election to get Obama in. Was all a giant set up to put liberal welfare pelosis in place and bring America down so poorer nations could catch up. Now they wanna hike taxes on strapped Americans. Begin The Outrage (BTO) !

[Zile77]

Then Senator B. Hussein Obama, received a $101,332 bonus from AIG in political contributions. The two biggest Congressional recipients of bonuses from the A.I.G. are - Senators Chris Dodd and Senator Barack Obama. Dodd now wants to tax the controversial bonuses for executives at bailed-out insurance giant AIG. But this same Dodd inserted language in the $787 billion stimulus bill allowing payment of $165 million in taxpayer-paid bonuses.

HYPOCRATS SUCK DONKEY DICKS!

[andybob63]

(cont) Republicans couldn't stop the bills the Dems were pushing in the House. In the Senate, the Dems had the help of RINOs like Arlen Specter, and Susan Collins to pass legislation.Too often President Bush was on their side too. I've told you how the (real) Republicans were nearly powerless to stop the Democrats from passing this legislation, particularly the ones dealing with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (Forcing them to give loans to subprime borrowers) You have yet to offer a good argument.

[andybob63]

I am saying that the Republicans in office four years ago were not acting unto the core values they ran on. In no way am I saying that it's only the Republican's fault.

[andybob63]

Because I enjoy quotes, I think I'll use one right here.

"Come on show me in the US Constitution where the House can filibuster...i dare you." This, from a comment your left a few days ago, I think really proves my points.

1. A bill has to pass both Houses to become law.

2. In the House Of Reps, you can't filibuster. You agreed with this.

3. The Democrats have held a majority in the House for several years- and will for several more.

So, I've shown you how clearly the Republicans (cont)

[Chick6517]

Really awesome video! It's interesting to see these kinds of videos on here. I like the fact the youtube is freedom for any kind of video. =)

[andybob63]

You also made a broad statement about how all Republicans think that it's the democrats fault. I remind you, that the Democrats believe it's all Bush's fault. Political Partys blame things on each other. And you've said the reason the Democrats are in office is because the Republican's screwed things up. 1, the Republicans in office were not acting like Conservatives, and two, voters are rarely satisfied with political partys, and swap them out often. I don't have any ev. But nor sir, do you.

[andybob63]

Funny, I don't remember starting this whole comment war by saying that the entire thing is the Democrats fault. You started this by saying that it was the Republican's mess. So now, I turn the question to you. Which Republican Congress caused this mess. I await your reply, because you won't be able to answer it. This is because THE DEMOCRATS CONTROL CONGRESS! I've been telling you this over and over again. The majority party controls EVERYTHING. I can't stress that enough. (cont)

[kitmell]

ah, tá!

[voyeurdug]

So who will oppose Dodd in 2010. Some old white-haired pol with sticky fingers in every pie? What else?

[MetalHeadViking]

Irish girls are hot!

[Spamdaspammer]

[RestrainedNoMore]

hahahaha!!

[IrishDubliner99]

What does GOP stand for ?

They lost the support of every ethnic minority in the USA , the young people, and now they want to lose more by annoying any 'irish ' who still supported the party of trickle down 'poverty' - last November ?

Dodds doesn't matter . America does . Obama looks like a leader who can and is doing what needs to be done . The GOP is lost in the mire of their own creation. All they have is fatso Limbaugh and the remnants of neo cons.

[sircaspian1]

IrishDubliner99 = IGNORANT

hey im irish!!!!!!!!

i'd opt for a place in ireland too or anywhere else on the planet if i lived in the united states. what a shit dump of a country!

I say now is a good time for Peter Schiff to take his seat in the Senate.

Republicans are just as bad

Why doesn't Coleman give up?

[bittergunowner12]

While I think Coleman is a douche, Franken is even worse.

[eastcoast56]

Sen. Dodd is an idiot, but your choice is either him or someone whose party has proven itself to be the most selfish, lying and practically down right evil.

Democrats make mistakes, Republicans pretend never building homes for Katrina victims was a mistake.

[RevolutionOfCG]

Nice ad.

[bittergunowner12]

Yep, the best part is Dodd is trailing his opponent.

[rocconisse]

Lol, the "communist" comments are so retro, it's cute! LOL "commy bastards," that's so 50's. I don't understand why you would link someone's sexual preference with political system though, especially since all past and present communist regimes have discouraged (even violently) any non-heterosexual activity.

[sportzfinatic]

i like how you know thats so 50's. and i like how u say cute. if your a guy then im scared. and maybe im just a bored 15 year old who likes to make fun of poeple over the age of.. in your case 59 who spend the time to comment on youtube. go back to your golf club and relax your weary bones

[sportzfinatic]

oh and please go look at the statistics for homosexuals registered for the parties. guess ur wrong bub. and the fact is this is america and we accept people like that and thats why homosexuals dont live in communist countries. But for the far left liberals(communist) who may be of different sexuality are basically shooting themselves in the foot by trying to crush democracy. bitch got owned.

[rocconisse]

Wait, I'm confused now... I'm apparently 59 just because I know enough history to recognize your ancient political slogans?

So... far left liberal = communist? I wonder why they don't just join the communist party then, since we do have one in the U.S.

And gay liberals may be trying to "crush democracy" (wonder how that works; maybe there's a vast conspiracy!) even though they "don't live in communist countries."

I've been more amused by your posts than anything else this week. ThxLOL

[FlucifuX2]

America accepts homosexuality? Bullshit.

How long will it be until you can elect a gay president?

[HeisenbergSleptHere]

You seem to prefer discussing homosexuality over any other topic. Why is that?

[andybob63]

Well, reason one is, I was asking which bill you meant, and two is, whether or not he introduced a bill is not the issue. You have not refuted any thing I've said about the majority party controlling congress. Also, you don't know if McCain could even have hoped to get the bill through committee. The democrats were the ones able to place committee members. But anyway, no, I don't have a bill the Sen. McCain introduced. But, as I've said, I don't need it.

[sportzfinatic]

i want you to exaplain to me how u are not closer to communism than democracy. please. if you werent a far out liberal maybe, just maybe that would be possible. but its not. youre gay.

[Tchaves94]

Why would someone have to be closer to democracy or to communism? Can`t someone be close to both? Unless you haven`t read your Marx (and that would make any of you comments on communism invalid and based on no real knowledge of communism) you would know there can be such thing as a communist democracy or democratic communism.

[FlucifuX2]

What the hell was that? You start off with a seemingly not too dumbass-like question and end off with a 'youre gay'? You're a moron

[andybob63]

Dude, you're right, they can't filibuster in the House. The Majority party in the House controls it all. This is what I have been saying all along.

[sportzfinatic]

Do you realize that democrats have controlled congress for the last two years while the economy went to shit? communist

[DralicFett]

Democrats aren't quite communist. Stop trying to take george McCarthy's gig of calling everything eh doesn't like communist.

I wouldn't mind if some democrats decided to nationalize some of these failing companies we seem to depend on so much.

[DralicFett]

Joe McCarthy actually.

[andybob63]

Which bill would that be? You mentioned several.

[sportzfinatic]

communist

[sportzfinatic]

communist

[sportzfinatic]

its dumbfucks like you that will be the cause of the fall of the US. commy bastard

[Tchaves94]

Yes, I am a communist, and proud of it. And I would actually be glad if I helped cause the fall of the US. You`ve been spreading your tyranny and hypocrisy throuought the world for far too long now.

[andybob63]

(cont) So, for all you know, John McCain introduced many bills, but none of them got heard. And, as I stated, from 2006 onward, the Democrats were in charge. That was when our economy started to take a downturn.We have been in a recession since 2007. The Democrats were in charge then. As to your point saying the Republicans didn't block any bills, as I've stated, you have to have a simple majority, which the Democrats have.

[andybob63]

Of course, I'd be glad to fill you in. You see, the party in control of the House, gets to dictate what legislation even makes it to committee, as well as what gets passed (If they can keep their party together, which the democrats are somewhat good at in the House). In the Senate, it's a little less strict, but most of the same rules apply. If you're in leadership, you can often control what bills get heard, and what don't. (Cont)

[bittergunowner12]

I see you still can't prove how Republicans caused the Fannie and Freddie debacle. You just try to bring up the irrelevant Keating 5. You're pathetic.

[bittergunowner12]

But did Frank do anything about it? No he just let Fannie and Freddie go unwatched. You think I worship George Bush? Think again.

[8poseur8]

there is no luck or surprise, its all out in the open ready to be put out of its misery

[bittergunowner12]

Lies, prove it then. They can filibuster, keep spewing the lies Keith Olbermann tells you.

[bittergunowner12]

Couldn't do anything? Then I guess successfully filibustering and killing the bill count as not doing anything.

[bittergunowner12]

Which ones shot down the bill. Ok Rep Barney Frank *D-MA*, Rep Gregory Meeks *D-NY*, Rep Artur Davis *D-AL* Rep Maxine Waters *D-CA* Sen Chris Dodd *D-CT* the list goes on and on.

[bittergunowner12]

Yet what are the Democrats doing about it? The same thing, corruption, taxing and spending like crazy, of course since liberals like yourself can't admit anything is your fault you point fingers at everyone else, but too bad for you there is no scapegoat, no bogeyman, no Republican in charge to blame anymore.

Democrats promised "hope and change" now lets see it get delivered, oh wait I forgot, thats never going to happen.

[andybob63]

And....you do realize that since 2006 the Democrats have been in control? John McCain saw this coming, and warned us many times. But he wasn't listened to.

[bittergunowner12]

Your point? Democrats shot down bills to regulate Wall Street and Fannie and Freddie.

[bittergunowner12]

Hmmm the shit hit the fan when after the Dems took control of Congress, but of course, they must blame Republicans for their failure to run Congress, now they're going to blame they're failure to run Congress and the White House on Republicans.. all Democrats do is whine, bicker and blame the opposition for their failures.

[bittergunowner12]

So? He had minor involvement and was cleared of any wrongdoing, trying to pin this on Republicans is bullshit.

[andybob63]

I don't remember Barney Frank or Dodd being Republicans. And they were the ones who lead the charge on making banks hand out loans to sub prime borrowers. Give up dude, the voters will wake up, and realize that no matter how much the Democrats tell them, Bush is not the only man responsible for the economic crash.

[alHalwima]

Well, it's not a matter of political parties anymore. If what this advertisement is true, Republican or Democrat, I'd vote for the opposite candidate.

[andybob63]

*cough* Didn't cause the current crisis! *cough*

[bittergunowner12]

Keating 5? Thats got nothing to do with this, you know what else is funny? 4 out of 5 of the infamous Keating 5 were Democrats. Besides McCain was cleared of any wrongdoing.

[mylegsareswollen]

The entire Congress needs to be burned to the ground.

Every one of those scum in Congress are on the take.

Peter Schiff for Senate 2010!

[jimmiegrillo]

That's awesome! Haven't seen it on tv here in CT yet.

I've been doing my best to kick him out of office since I turned 18... still hasn't worked yet.

This man should not only be kicked out of Senate... but put in JAIL for what he's done to the country. WHY is he STILL on the banking committee????

As a rule, you NEVER ask the person who messed things up to fix them! It's like asking a man who stabbed you to be the doctor to save you, it's insanity!

[TheParty1984]

Good luck getting rid of Dodd! I see Simmons is running now and Dodd is behind him in a new poll so you guys might finally be able to punch his ticket. Best of luck once more!

[bittergunowner12]

Prison? More like the gallows!

[opchidexio]

I LOVE this ad! Wow! Keep up the GOOD WORK!

[bittergunowner12]

Your point? He didn't get a sweetheart deal like Dodd did, McCain isn't ranking as high as Dodd on the list of Fannie and Freddie recipients.

[supersmashbros011]

Good ad

[RecceMan90]

Senator McCain also doesn't owe anymoney on them! Senator McCain didn't look for backdoor Mortgages. Senator McCain had his wealthy 2nd Wife pay for them! Pretty smart of Senator McCain!

[gaiuskaiser]

Very good is this running in Conn

[philblunt420]

ROTFL

[computerpurple]

I like this video. Humor is a good thing. I want chris dodd and his sidekick barney frank in prision. At the lest i'll settle for him being kicked out of office. ... Oh same goes for barney. BUTT as we all know they both are from VERY LIBERAL parts of the country. And those places are morally BANKRUPT. So this isn't gonna happen SHIT.

[bittergunowner12]

Prison? I think hanging in the gallows is much better. Or we drag them through the streets and chop off their heads. What do you think?

[computerpurple]

Hello bittergunowner. "What do i think". Well at some point in time i "HOPE" that karma will BITCH SLAP them.

[NHMntnHIGH]

it will, hi my name is Karma send them to N.H. I'll do more than bitch slap them

[NHMntnHIGH]

prison is to good for Chris Dud and Barney skank, public stockades with dailey showings across the country. For 25 cents you get to throw crap at the two of them

[Mojack420]

barney Frank the skank would think prision is disneyland.

you know he is going to love picking up the soap

What about how they killed Mussolini? I think that appropriate for these 2 scumbags, what do you think?
