Mr.Dodd; Please resign. I want to be mean to you but you F^cked up and voted for TARP and the bonus favor tha t you repaid to your campain donors! Now you are getting ready to flood our system with communist Cuban's to suck us dry even more!
Here is the poster boy for dishonesty in government. He lied so smoothly that you know he's had much practise. One day he had nothing to do with the language in the bill that allowed AIG to use our money to pay their poor performing executives large bonuses, the next day it's..."sorry about that". Dodd and his AIG friends must have had a big laugh at our expense! This should be a criminal offence. This Childish, selfish greed is rampant in our govermnent and big business.
Dodd, EVERYONE knows your the biggest CROOK in congress. How much money did you take today? haha. When will you apologize for the banking mess that happened on YOUR watch?
Thank you Senator Dodd. Under GWB law I could be considered "enemy combatant" for exercising my constitutional right to redress government for grievances. (peace activist)I thank you also for your endorsement of Senator Obama. It means a lot to hear from his peers in Congress who have a closer look at him than I can. It was not until this past year I realized exactly how much work you guys (and gals) actually do on my behalf. The internet and You Tube make that possible.
The constitution is what matters here. Retroactive immunity is unconstitutional, plain and simple. The Bush administration needs to pull their heads out of their asses, and represent the American people, and not corporate interests, for once. Thank god for senators like Dodd!
Leave this country you piece of trash. Eat shit and die.... but for sure you will not speak like this out in public by yourself because you must be a coward to speak this way. As a white man i would beat your ass if i heard such noise.
My your heart rot and stop pumping before you have children.
haha....dodd looks so much like a sheep dog....search it and look.....wow! white head...and black suit thing....my dog seriously likes dodd cuz everytime i say chris dodd to him...he runs around window to window looking for him....and everytime dodds on tv....we just bark over evrything he says...
You will be a leader that will need no on the Job training. Thank God For That. Please heal our nation, from Baby Bush and the mess he has put us in. The eye's of the world need to see the U.S. with fresh and hopeful hearts.
Mr. Dodd received thousands of dollars from Jon Sackler, one of the drug company owners that produces Oxycontin. If you wonder why after the company was fined $650 million dollars for lying about the drug's addictive nature, ask Mr. Dodd why it's still legal?
Thank you Senator Dodd!!! Great news!!! Keep it up - I was uncertain as to whom to vote for President's primary -and I think you are the candidate that will get things done!!!
Thank you Sen. Dodd. We can't let the President run roughshod over the constitution like he has.
Greatest standup moment in the Senate since former Senator Chafee (R-RI) was the only Republican who voted "NO" on the Iraq War resolution in 2002. It cost him his re-election in 2006.
First, Democrats have NEVER been ones to let the LAW get in the way of their agenda. Second, if you had the choose between the letter of the law and millions of lives, would you really choose the letter of the law? I don't think so.
Just stay away from my guns! The 2nd amendment is ACTUALLY A PART OF THE CONSTITUTION, believe it or not. If you promised to legalize the 50BMG, Assault Rifles, and all assorted SUB-GUNS in California, by way of the laws set down in the Constitution, then you might get more votes! But I think even then you would still fall short of Ron Paul!
You know, Chris Dodd is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, which has faced very important business during the past several months related to the credit crunch, housing crisis, etc. It is unfortunate that, during such an important time, important legislation was held up (and has still not yet been passed) because the chairman of the Banking Committee was spending all his time in Iowa trying to turn his 0.1% into 0.13% A real shame - I hope we don't have to pay for it down the line...
In principle, I agree completely. Government has no place bailing people out. But, saying that, there's a lot that we are so used to that we take it for granted - federal deposit insurance, for example - without which the global financial system would be much more unstable than it is today. My point was that it's unfortunate that the committee overseeing the financial regulators should be crippled by the absence of its chairman and his no-chance-in-hell presidential bid.
Thank God for true Americans. It is also good to see that we are not at the mercy of presidential corruption. We must stand to right the wrongs of this country but actively taking a part. Thank you Chris Dodd!
There is only one other Dem Presidential candidate that has taken these Constitutional battles as seriously as Dodd by actually walking the walk. That is Dennis Kucinich, with Kucinich leading the charge on the Impeachment front and a myriad of other liberal/progressive issues. Other candidates merely pay lip service to these issues, or fall in line after the real leaders break ground on these issues.
if only we could get the "front runners" out of the way and let the real politicians like Chris Dodd speak about the real issues that threaten our freedoms.
Thank you for a great job sir, America is most fortunate and grateful to have yourself and a handful of other patriots protecting us from the subversion of law supported by most of the Senate. Unfortunately the government of the United States has become a moral disgrace, and we appreciate your principled stand to redeem it.
Thank you Senator! I've not been happy with the Democrats at all lately and sent my sentiments to Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid. You, Congressman Wexler and a few others are all that remain holding what little shred of dignity the party has left. Keep up the good work and thank you.
Thank you Chris Dodd, your small courage is a giant amongst ants and I hope it inspires other. Kennedy was a help but to thank Boxer I think you are mistaken because she supported this immunity at its early stage when she could have held it in committee.

The man is a traitor. He advocates for a terrorist bill of rights. He wants to give rights to people who are not even Americans, and would kill us if given the chance.
Senator Dodd, a true patriot following through on the mandate we the people gave to Congress in 2006. Obama, Clinton, Biden and all others who have been acting like sheep for the Bush shepherd need to be voted out of office asap, and replaced with people like Senator Dodd.
And Harry Reid needs to go, asap. He doesn't deserve the leadership position as Majority Leader. He is a weakling, giving lip service and he's as dangerous as Bush.
Thanks, Senator. It's nice to FINALLY see a Democrat who isn't afraid to take a stand and see it through. I'm so tired of mealy-mouthed Democrats who try to please everybody and end up pleasing nobody (and rolling over for the Republicans). I wish all Democrats were like you.

You don't know that they broke the law. Just because Democrats keep saying something over and over does not make it true. In the days following 9-11, when we desperately needed to know if another attack was in the making, time and lives were more important than the letter of the law. Dodd is just trying to bolster his dying presidential campaign.
We don't KNOW if they broke the law, but THEY know if they broke the law. And the only reason they want the immunity is because they KNOW they broke the law. If the gov't wants to monitor the international communications they can already LEGALLY request it be done through the FISA court.
Obama is not a Muslim. He's not my first choice but I would vote for him even if he was a Muslim anytime over someone like so-called "Christian" Bush.

Retroactive immunity will be a part of the new FISA bill. Sen. Dodd and the Democrats will cave on this and they have on everything else. There is no reason to NOT give this immunity and allow the phone companies to be saddled with lawsuits for no good purpose.
You mean, like the fact that they broke the law? I'm sorry, the executive branch doesn't get to override the law, and the lawyers for the telecoms know this. Hell, I'm not even a lawyer OR an American and *I* know this!
Thank you Senator Dodd for being the voice for us all. Without your willingness to stand up and lead, we'd have ceded that much more of our liberty. You showed real bravery and I, for one, really appreciate it.
Great work, Chris - regardless of where your presidential campaign ends up, it's good to know you'll be in the US Senate in the future.
And kudos to those thousands of people Chris thanked for getting this campaign going - now we know that the assault on US democracy can be beaten back!
You're a rock star. You showed us all who you are yesterday and as of yesterday, you have a new convert. Chris Dodd for President!
No telecom immunity! (Do you hear that Barack? Hillary? John?) Why didn't the other campaigns at least bring media attention to this issue while they were in Iowa? The answer is easy: MONEY
Thank you, Senator Dodd, for showing real leadership now instead on just TALKING about how great you will be somewhere down the road. Yes, I'm talkin' 'bout you, Obama, Hillary, and Biden--all currently "serving" in the Senate.
Here's a suggestion to certain notable senators who constantly shit out press releases about their leadership: YOU'RE IN THE GODDAMN SENATE! DO YOUR JOB!
keep us informed! i, as im sure others, will take action when you ask us to. the system you had setup to call our local senators was awesome! it was really easy to do and i managed to get many (less politically inclined) friend around the country to call their senators and ask them to support you in your efforts and support the constitution. like i said, keep us informed! the main stream media doesnt, so someone has to.
it takes courage to stand against your own leadership, even when you are right and they are wrong. Thank you for reminding us that at least SOME Democrats still have a spine.
Keep up the good work, and best of luck in the Primaries.
Pelosi & the Obama Administration working to build up debt larger than any country has ever seen. It was a mystery how these bonuses happened. No one could figure it out.
It leaked out that Chris Dodd snuck a provision into the massive spending bill that allowed the bonuses to happen.
Dodd denied it at 1st., Then changed his story & the request of "Administration staffers".
Finally Democrats forced to admit that they allowed the AIG bonuses to happen.

No telecom immunity! (Do you hear that Barack? Hillary? John?) Why didn't the other campaigns at least bring media attention to this issue while they were in Iowa? The answer is easy: MONEY
Thank you from a Gulf War veteran!

Thank you Mr Dodd, please stop this madness. It's time we move back to the constitution, instead of steadily away from it.

Thank you, Senator Dodd, for showing real leadership now instead on just TALKING about how great you will be somewhere down the road. Yes, I'm talkin' 'bout you, Obama, Hillary, and Biden--all currently "serving" in the Senate.

I didn't want to, but I'm voting Dodd now.
Here's a suggestion to certain notable senators who constantly shit out press releases about their leadership: YOU'RE IN THE GODDAMN SENATE! DO YOUR JOB!
Dodd/Edwards all the way.

keep us informed! i, as im sure others, will take action when you ask us to. the system you had setup to call our local senators was awesome! it was really easy to do and i managed to get many (less politically inclined) friend around the country to call their senators and ask them to support you in your efforts and support the constitution. like i said, keep us informed! the main stream media doesnt, so someone has to.

Sen. Dodd:
it takes courage to stand against your own leadership, even when you are right and they are wrong. Thank you for reminding us that at least SOME Democrats still have a spine.
Keep up the good work, and best of luck in the Primaries.

Why isn't this man Senate Majority leader?

God only knows, mheilberg.
The position is open.
Harry Reid is certainly not a leader.
He is a White House stooge.

I agree. Harry Reid has been a complete freaking disgrace as majority leader. Chris Dodd for Senate Majority Leader!

This has been flagged as spam show
Pelosi & the Obama Administration working to build up debt larger than any country has ever seen. It was a mystery how these bonuses happened. No one could figure it out.
It leaked out that Chris Dodd snuck a provision into the massive spending bill that allowed the bonuses to happen.
Dodd denied it at 1st., Then changed his story & the request of "Administration staffers".
Finally Democrats forced to admit that they allowed the AIG bonuses to happen.
This has got to stop.
