Dodd: "It is a great, great day"
Posted by ConnPolitics.tv Editor on December 22nd, 2009
(WTNH) – Speaking with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and others this morning, Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd called the impending passage in the Senate of a health care reform bill makes this “a great, great day for our country.”
Earlier in his statement Sen. Dodd said, “My hope still is that our friends on the other side, as we move forward in this process into conference, will decide to step up and offer their ideas and suggestions, so there might still emerge from this process with partisan, a bi-partisan rather effort on health care.”
After more procedural votes, the final vote on passage of a health care bill in the Senate is expected Christmas Eve.

Too little.......too late to save his career.
November 2010....People will remember Dodd and Lieberman selling us out to Scary Reid.
Dodd might as well retire or clean out his desk.
Because in 2010 he will be retired!!
Lieberman might as well get out too in 2012.

It'll be a great day when waitress sandwich-man is chased down in the streets by an angry mob with hot tar and feathers.

It will be an EXCELLENT Day on November 2,2010 when Chris Dodd loses his US Senate seat to a Republican.
Dodd's greed and arrogance will be his downfall and he has no one to blame but himself.
Both Dodd and Lieberman should be ashamed of themselves for selling us out to SCARY Reid.
I hope REID loses when he comes up for re-election.

If he has any 'friends' on the other side - I'm going to vote against them too!

I think anyone who dislikes Scary Reid's Cavalier and pompous attitude should send money to The Nevada GOP and help his opponent win in 2010.

Dodd's "friends" on the other side (Republicans I'd guess) expressed the opinions of a great number of people, but Dodd and his cronies keep failing to listen to the majority. WHAT MOVES THIS MAN?
Dump Dodd forever!

Then leave the country. No one is keeping you here Jane. If you hate it so much pick yourself up and move to the only other country in the world that doesn't provide universal health care, South Africa.

Dodd is delusional, He can't wait to call Teddy boys wife with the good news. This is a great day for freeloaders !! This is an empty bill, not going to help much. but going to cost a lot. I am glad to hear some states are trying to invoke the tenth ammedment. Look it up.

No, Todd, I won't leave. I'd like to take back the country from the liberal morons who are running it into the ground. Universal healthcare= endless gov't bureaucracy, rationing of care, massive redistribution of wealth, reduction in R & D, and so on. All achieved through bribery, trickery and sleazy deals by people who will NEVER have to wait in line for care the way you and I and all the other poor slobs will.

what a friggin' disgusting excuse for an American. I think Dudd, Dweeberman, Dingy Harry, Nazi Pelosi, Chucky Scummer and the rest of those Cuba loving terds should be marched down Main Street and strung up like the treasonist rats they are! The sad part is that some of you bashing Dodd have been voting him in for all these years!
Make it right. VOTE OUT THE INCUMBENTS!

If all the countries with socialized medicine are so great, why aren't people risking their lives to sneak in there?

There still is a long way to go on this bill. It still has to go back to the House. Many democrats want to kill this bill and start over. Then again some democrats might start looking at the polls and their chances of getting elected again.
As for Dodd he was all done awhile ago.
Also health care stocks going up fast. Drugs prices up 9% and climbing. Why?

Don't count out this lying sack of crap just yet boys and girls. He has momentum if nothing else and a sheep-like electorate that stumbles into the voting booth, drools on the floor a little, and in a Pavlovian resposne state of mind vote Democrat. I've always said you could stuff a burlap bag full of hot, fresh, semi-liquid manure, put a "Democrat" sticker on it, and the sheeple of Connecticut will vote for it. Chris Dodd is proof positive that I'm right.

In the Know -- I agree with you 100%. The conservatives who post here are so nasty, so self absorbed, and so out of touch with what their party did to this country that they will never be able to look objectively at anything not produced by a Republican. They are afraid of anything that takes their liberties away from them, yet they were more than willing to give up their liberties under GWB to be "safe" from terrorist... ie. people who don't see eye to eye with them.
Those you see posting here are the base of the Republican Party. The "facts" and opinions these people spew are right out of Rush's, Becks, and Palin's play books. A frightening notion, isn't it? These conservatives almost destroyed our country once, and I'm sure they will have the opportunity to make another attempt in the near future.
Oh, and if you all are so concerned about your liberties, how come not one of you will address what you lost as a result of the Patriot Act? Is it because you can't defend this legislation?

There should be a "political offenders list". Libs like Dodd
should be banned from entering or even living near any government building.

Todd, I only post facts and an occasional opinion. Guess that makes me nasty. I am a fiscal conservative so I'm really angry when our government spends money it doesn't have, borrows from a communist regime and then have to listen to folks like you tell me it is good for me. UFB!

Why would anyone want to be a Democrat?? They bribe Senators to get legislation passed and their leader Scary Reid says "that is how things get done".
Their liberal following are nasty ,coldhearted people who only know how to threaten and intimidate people. The liberals who post here especially one in particular are notorious for crying,whining and playing the victim.
They can enjoy their one victory because in 2010 and 2012 it will come back to bite them right on the behind then we will see who will be shooting their mouth off then.

Todd - if America is such a bad place and socialized medicine is so great, why aren't the Mexicans coming over our southern border crossing our Northern border as well? It's real easy to get into Canada - I have done it without the "proper paper work" - It was actually harder to get back into America!
Ans yes I AM picky about which liberties I give up. If being safe means I can't go to Canada on a whim then so be it, BUT I do not want a DMV style worker between my doctor and I.

'if America is such a bad place and socialized medicine is so great, why aren't the Mexicans coming over our southern border crossing our Northern border as well?'
Their country is also suffering from staggering unemployment rates, a failed government and drug war as well. You're attempting to create an apples and oranges situation.
'Ans yes I AM picky about which liberties I give up.'
The fact you're willing to give up any means you don't care about any.

Todd,
Quit being a wiener. Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror and examine your hypocrisy. And while you're staring at yourself dig up some of your previous posts. I'm sure you'll find some nasty ones.

todd - you are a good little comrade. you drink all the liberal Kool-Aid.....did you know liberalism is a mental disease? I can see by your writings you have a very advanced case. If you want government health care WHY don't you move to Europe where there is government health care instead of bringing down America to the European socialist level or is it that you don't want to leave your welfare check?

Able - YOU did NOT answer my origional question (like a liberal) the question, which I will have to state more directly, is why aren't the Mexicans going to Canada??
You only answered why they are crossing our southern border to come into the USA, the real question is why are they not continuing to Canada?? Please answer that.
I do care about my liberties, but I realize that I have to have life in order to have liberty.
Am I not free to play street hockey on my busy street? Yes
Is such a right that I wish to take? No.

'Able - YOU did NOT answer my origional question (like a liberal) the question, which I will have to state more directly, is why aren't the Mexicans going to Canada??'
Firstly, you didn't direct the question to me, and I was not answering the question. I was merely commenting on what had been asked, so therefore your statement is incorrect. Secondly, the question can be answered in various ways, as the variables exist. One being geography, travel, expenses. An undocumented immigrant also routinely returns back to their place of origin, in this case Mexico, if they are merely working on one side of the border. It is a matter of logistics, or at least within this given variable set.
'I do care about my liberties, but I realize that I have to have life in order to have liberty.'
Remember that good ol' quote by the man on some money. 'Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.'
Am I not free to play hockey in the street as well? Yes.
Am I free to purchase items at stores? Yes.
Is that truly freedom? No.
