Gee when was this made. I mean.. sounds kinda like the wilson and FDR adminstrations.. oh wait it's another progressive Bush... or maybe Obama. i can't tell anymore.
This election is beyond party lines. It should be about someone who truly cares about the American ppl including the working class who made this country great. If we don't abide by our own constit. we are no different than the countries we are fighting for in the name of democracy
Dodd and Bush have the same "rule of law"...Do as I say, Not as I do." So when funding for the war comes up for a vote in the near future you'll give bush a blank check...again. Your father should have pulled out
Bush has always been a child of privilege. The rules have never been meant for him as far as he's concerned, so naturally he doesn't consider himself bound by laws now that he's President. Rules are for the "little" people, not for a man of action and vision like himself.
It is about time someone in congress stands and speak against so clearly just how corrupt and criminal this administration under Bush is and has been. Something more than just talk needs to be done. Democrats have done far far far to little and much to late. However, there is no time than the present to act and begin the process of removing him from power.
Wow, Mr. Dodd goes to Washington. He's got it right although anyone's character is suspect in Washington these days. President Dou.. I mean Boosh has overstepped his authority on everything he has touched. No more king chim.. uh, George!
How is this politicizing away American lives? He's talking about our privacy and rights being taken away in the name of safety which I and many Americans agree with.
all they say is who everyone knows about through celebrity. He's the only presidential candiate who is willing to filubuster something he believes in.
Thank You, Mr Dodd for talking and not doing anything !!! Thank You Dems for being elected to do something and not!!! Thank You for not being silient yet not doing anything... Screaming in to empty ears on the right who will take all our rights away is doing nothing... STOP FUNDING THE WAR NOW!! START IMPEACHMENT NOW!!! VOTE FOR RON PAUL NOW!!! TAKE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BACK FROM THE NEO CONS!!!
The funny part is is that probably no representatives are listening to him.
There's nobody in the audience, either that or they are all shuffling papers, mindlessly thinking about their bank accounts. Purposefully ignoring their duties because that is work.
I say let the flawed FISA bills expire, like our constitutional rights. Then put the blame on the failed security of this country where it belongs "WITH THE REPUBLICANS." who would do nothing to enhance our countries security through real laws. It is my pleasure to finally hear from someone who has the voice of so many Americans at heart. It takes strong leadership qualities to say the words that so many of your colleagues dare not even whisper, I APPLAUD YOU.
If JFK were putting together additional chapters for 'Profiles in Courage', I think there are two senators from this period who would make it to the final cut. This speech may be an historic turn for Senator Dodd, depending on how REAL he wants to get here. If it must be done, he's got to call out those within his party.
That would earn him a chapter alongside Senator Hagel.
Yeah. I know. It's just we haven't heard anything remotely like this in ages. It shocked my pants right off --not Larry Craig style, just an expression, like, I lost my head. Cheers bigsid!
Not that I believe the idea "they attacked us for our freedoms", but that being said, the neo-con argument is self-invalidated by taking those very freedoms away. I agree, what's to defend at that point?
Thank you for making a stand FOR American Principles.
REMEMBER -
These principles were important enough for our Founders to include into that Document you've sworn to defend and support. They felt these Principles important enough during their time of war, ON OUR SOIL.

Kucinich has great politics but we all know he has zero chance of getting elected. Dodd, on the other hand, has a fighting chance:
- Edwards is all but finished
- Obama is not a progressive
- He's a reasonable, experienced alternative to Hillary
