I live in Connecticut . I’ve meet Dodd,Lieberman and Lamonte. The left wing attack on Lieberman was unbelievable. He votes straight Democrat Party line on everything but the war and they cast him out like a leper. The guy who ran against him in the Democrat Primary,Little Neddy Lamont from Greenwich, had all the qualifications to be in the Senate-he inherited millions of dollars. If I remember right,he spent about 16 million dollars of his inherited wealth on the campaign . That ,to them,made him a better choice than Joe. The campaign was like something out of Robert Conquest’s book, “The Great Terror”. He didn’t go along with the party so he must be expelled. They were even talking of taking his picture down in the state democratic headquarters. The whining when he decided to run independently was unreal. I will never forget the commercial that Chris Dodd made endorsing Lieberman,then when Lieberman lost the primary,Dodd made one for Lamont,saying it was time for new blood in Washington. This from a guy who’s been there since 1974.I hope this lending scandal will finally be the nail in Dodd’s coffin politically,but I doubt it. The sad thing is,he could retire now from the Senate with a pension larger than my salary. How can we,and I mean everyone nationally,keep electing these self important clowns to Washington ?
