The five-term incumbent reported raising just $4,250 from five Connecticut residents during the first three months of the year while raking in $604,745 from nearly 400 individuals living outside the state."

Only 5 state residents donated to Dodd - The Connecticut Post Online

I don't know how prevalent this is with other senators, but that type of discrepancy between donations taken from your own state compared with funds taken from out of state sources is ridiculous.

Hopefully it just means he will not be able to win reelection.

Three blind mice.

There is a very good chance Dodd will lose his seat this coming election, it has always amazed me how Frank could ever won a seat to begin with and to keep getting elected just boggles my mind, who would vote for him??

Here are the top recipients of campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, 1989-2008:

1. Dodd, Christopher J D-CT $133,900

2. Kerry, John D-MA $111,000

3. Obama, Barack D-IL $105,849

Goldman Sachs 2008 Contributions and other COMMERCIAL BANK CONTRIBUTIONS

An even more stupid idea, bail out dinosaur media.

No conflict of interest there.

There is only one thing this former special counsel to George Soros has that's close to right, This isn't really that funny anymore.

Actually there is nothing funny at all about what is happening in America today.



Rosa Brooks belongs to several organizations the like National Security Network and Connect U.S. Funds that believe in the elimination of capitalism in America.



Brooks is associated, along with her boss Michelle Flournoy to CNAS, they will be major players in the future of American's counter insurgency policies.

I don't think that's it. The issue is two-fold, from my perspective. First, the left just hasn't cultivated the right kind of entertainers for talk radio. While the left has plenty of celebrities from television, music, and film, when those folks start talking politics it tends to come out stilted.

Second, the fundamental ideals of the left do not lend themselves well to the one dimensional venue of talk radio. It is hard to defend or describe complex and brainy rationale on things like foreign policy over the radio, whereas its much easier to get some band to do a mock tune that claims that Obama is a Muslim.

When they start talking it comes out slanted toward air head issues like who was going to shampoo the new white house dog, "Bho."

Back to the thread topic, would a left wing air head talk show ever address the fascist rip off of the American people under Obama's reign???

Would they talk about a much needed audit of the federal reserve banking system??

The left has fundamental ideals???? Do tell.

I do admit they have some brainy rationale, as in brain dead rationale.

You have scant evidence that Obama isn't muslim, not only that he should prove he is an American citizen.

what a bunch of crap. the claim that the left is more "intellectual" than the right is so bereft of logic it's really not even worth discussing.

I can sum up the left easily.

a bigger government through social dependence programs.

a government that works closely with labor unions at the expense of private companies.

a government that appeases enemies at the expense of allies.

a government that views taxation as a punitive measure against individuals deemed "too successful" for the collective good.

maybe your sense of humor was lost on me when you called me (and others) a hate mongering racist. Then, when you were called on it, you never backed down or even apologized.

I am sorry you are a racist.

Seriously, you will have to remind me of what the prior posts were on that in order for me to figure out which particular exchange you are talking about. There's a way to link it, I think. But I don't know how, exactly, other than the old fashined way.

Plus, you confuse brainy with pedantic.

(not implying you are either)


Some of our biggest political fallacies come from accepting words as evidence of realities.

I can hardly wait ...
... to see how some of you Obama-hating fear mongering race baiters deal with the rescue of the captain and the killing of several of the pirates. I can hardly wait to hear how Boortz and the others who were trying to make this a Muslim thing and infer that Obama was standing aside deals with today's events.

another thread, perhaps even this one, has you claiming that Keith Olbermann's show is incredibly well researched and that he would never utter something that he didn't know was the truth. Well, if Keith is such an arbiter of truth, why did he sit there and nod like a bobble-head doll while Jeanene Garafolo (I don't care if I misspelled her name) called tea party attendees a bunch of brain damaged racists?
