Who ever said he would retire there?

Dorgan in ND is quitting too. Too bad we don't have any real Constitutionalists to run in his place. Some are even proposing that Pomeroy (our sole D representative) run in his place. Pomeroy is A from the NRA (not sure what that means anymore), but has voted pretty much party line on everything else.

Mandatatory term limits for congressmen? I don't think the founding fathers ever expected anyone would ever WANT to be in Congress for thirty years.

I didn't vote in your poll.   ;D

I kind of think of Dodd as ballast.

Do you remember those movies of the shot up B-17's returning back to England and having to throw everything overboard like their Ma Deuces and its ammo just so they could make it up over the cliffs of Dover?

Yeah, I kind of think of it like that.

The DNC is cutting loose their dead weight.

Ha ha he he!   ;D

He's probably gonna flee the country to avoid prosecution. Dodd is a slime ball politician in every sense of the word.... good riddance!

For the poll, the first three seem about right.

He's a rat.
He's got his loot, pension, etc,....
If he were to run again, his own "deals", would be exposed. Plus the Left in-fighting, and throwing themselves on the sword, under the bus, etc,.. is fun to watch

Hope CT, doesn't elect another face with the same playbook as Dodd.

 I like the mental image Tyler gave me of Dodd being chucked out of an airplane   ;D
He won't leave the country, crooked Dems don't get prosecuted unless they REALLY screw up like Blagoyavitch, and Dodd was already let off the hook by the Ethics committee.
I have been reading the "Mitrokhin Archive"  and ran across reference to a Willian E. Dodd Jr. from Ct. who was a member of the Communist party, ran unsuccessfully for congress as a Democrat and was a KGB source in the FDR administration.

Tyler... How about filling the bomb bays full of them on all the B17s left flying and drop them on France?

Perhaps that's Daddy Dodd Tom...  ;D

Dodd was not re-electable.  Behind in every poll.  The only hope for the Dummycraps to retain the seat is to run someone less foul.  If there really was something like karma, that bloated windbag would be serving time or standing in front of a firing squad.  And he'd be standing right next to Rangel, Frank, Pile-of-sh*t, Reid, and the rest of the Dummycrap leadership.  I really miss my America :'(

Gee, that only narrows it down to about 100 Dems in Washington  ;)

Palin has timed all of this perfectly. Think about it. All that nonsense about her "abandoning" the Governorship is just that, total nonsense. She is now a citizen, and a citizen who is building up a huge name for herself, as well as an equally huge political war chest and following. She is gaining steam all the way as the Democratic are now running in full self destruct mode. Hussein has put them on this Kamikaze course, and he totally refuses to deviate from it. The Republicans are poised to have the biggest political rout EVER, and the battle scared Dems know it, and are running from it.

Everything the Democrats have done since Husein's election, everything, has gone totally wrong. GITMO, health care, Afghanistan, terrorism, unemployment, everything the man has touched since 1/20/09 has turned completely to $h!t. His approval rating is sinking faster every day. Acts of terrorism, (Ft. Hood and the underwear bomber), are going all but totally unchecked. The public is completely against his running these enemy combatants through civilian courts. He is making a mockery out of this country both here and abroad. He has surrounded himself with idiot's. Janet Napolitano, Rahm Emanuel, Eric Holder, Pelosi, Reed, and now this idiot he wants to put in charge of the TSA.

The Tea Party is gaining strength every day. Watch how fast Sarah Palin moves in that direction. As fast as everything is falling apart for Hussein, things are coming together for Palin. The more the left slams her, the more popular she gets. Unemployment isn't going down anytime soon. She has brilliant criticism of each and every one of his screw ups, and all of the top Republicans resonate all of them. No one, Republican or Democrat, would have thought this ship would have sunk this quickly. High hopes have led to total disaster in their entire party. The next 3 years could lead to the biggest Democratic political downfall in history. And they thought Bush was bad for the Republicans !  Bill T.

He owns a home in Ireland.

We didn't  have a extradition treaty with them when he bought it.

Bummer Chris ;D

They probably let him stay anyway

So what are you saying, we have to hire Mossad to go after him?

We have a treaty now with the Irish Republic but Dodd could apply for Irish citizenship (fairly easy to do) and it would make it twice as hard.

Most telling is someone would have to come up with an indictment for the Senator. AG Holder? LOL

He's going to skate.

 Tell the IRA he's a Protestant.
Then tell the UVF he's a Catholic.

Tell them he got his money from informing and stand back from the blast zone.

Hey we promised to take a higher road on this forum. I'm ashamed of you two and myself as well. ;D

I'm not at all ashamed.

And I like your idea - nothing like putting a snitch jacket on a BG. Then you can run a pool to see how long he makes it.

That snitch should not get stitches though just the alternative.

I would settle for him being put in prison with some large harry guys that want to make him pick up the soap.

Weird thing is,prison might do it for him in a good way. Let him live not just with regular folks, but the one's he screwed over with the laws he passed. I don't know if you remember Dan Rostenkowski. He was Chair of House Ways and Means under Tip O'Neill, and corrupt as hell. Finally got him on some penny ante BS involving abusing Franking privlieges for campaign fliers or the like. Feebs even offered him an out, sort of like  Murkowski from Alaska, said they'd call it a day if he'd plead guilty and resign. He was arrogant enough to say no and fought (even though he was guilty as hell). Wound up with a couple of years in club fed. I heard him on Terry Gross on NPR after he got out. Talk about a changed guy (bear in mind he wasn't on parole, but free and clear). He could not stop going on about " Congressional privelidge", the injustice of the war on drugs "I looked at a kid who'd done 5 years and had five more to go and realized I'd helped put him there when I was a drunk and felt sick" and so on. Too little too late, but it did seem too help the old bastard come to Jesus. Maybe Dodd will be the same way. I'd sure like to see. ;D
