Schiff v. Dodd On Fannie And Freddie


Promoted from diaries.  Ron Paul connection to Schiff for Senate, or no. – Moe Lane

Via Market Speculator, here is a video put together by Schiff for Senate juxtaposing years of Dodd ignoring the problems of his campaign donors with Schiff predicting what has come to pass.

Wouldn’t it be something to have a senator who had a clue?

Glad I didn’t. I wouldn’t have been able to afford all the broken televisions. Heh.

Great video no matter what state you vote in CTVoter! The nutmeg state will have done our country a great service when you un-elect Senator Dodd from office. At a minimum. Jail would be even better.

“It is the nature of ambition to make men liars and cheats, to hide the truth in their breasts, and show, like jugglers, another thing in their mouths, to cut all friendships and enmities to the measure of their own interest, and to make a good countenance without the help of good will.”

Sallust

“Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any farther obedience, and are left to the common refuge which God hath provided for all men against force and violence.”

John Locke

 

Schiff is great

A good website is set up here: http://www.schiff2010.com/

Is he commited to running? We need Dodd out and this race should be one of our top priorities.

This may not be too popular here, but the Ron Paul fanatics are crazy about Schiff and they could play a big role in this race.

At the moment, I get the impression that he isn't.

Even if he doesn’t, the video is instructive on its own merits.

Kudos to Schiff! Too bad McCain completely failed US on this issue.

Outstanding!

That the electorate concluded that we would be better off under Democratic leadership after the Democratic Fannie/Freddie fiasco pisses me off to no end. And I am no political junkie…For the first time since the usage of AlGore’s invention became widespread that I’ve felt compelled to rant about politics. I first ranted on a sports board last Octoberish but decided to leave that site for good when my conservative posts were moderator deleted while lefty posts were tolerated and/or welcomed. I hope that I’m a leading indicator of a tapping of a silent sensible majority.

If Dodd's recent polling numbers are to be believed...

then there may be more like you. He is down around 40%, and I don’t think Connecticut voters even blame Dodd for his role in the economic funk we’ve gotten ourselves into. Information like Schiff puts out in the video needs to be widely distributed, but the media here in Connecticut isn’t going to do it. We’re lucky when we get an occasional editorial gently asking Dodd to follow through on his promise to release his mortgage docs. That’s about as hard hitting as it gets up here when it comes to Dodd.

“…among his intimate friends he was better known by the sobriquet of ‘The Artful Dodger,’ [and] Oliver concluded that, being of a dissipated and careless turn, the moral precepts of his benefactor had hitherto been thrown away upon him.” – Oliver Twist

Excellent points.

But it’s a crappy video and about five minutes too long.

We’ve gotta start producing spots that people will watch and that people can understand.

Lord knows we’ve got the ammo, but it’s gotta be aimed at the target to be effective.

 

here's ammo

Ten Minutes for Schiff:

This guy’s good, but we’re going to need all the help we can get to win in CT. If he commits though, we could have a good chance and I’m sure he could raise lots, and lots of money. We need to ge this going early though.
