Politics

Chris Dodd is a politician who has failed in his purpose for serving in the Congress. As a committee Chairman he has failed to perform his assigned duties. As a Congressman he has failed the folks that elected him.

Many years ago when Chris Dodd was first running for office the mantra was "out with the old and in with the new" and a fresh, untainted new young man was elected. I was there. As a passionate member of IBEW LU261 I was on the Pac Team that supported Chris Dodd. The labor vote got Chris Dodd elected and the first term in office was an exciting time to watch him help make changes for the benefit of the workers of Connecticut.

After the second term it became obvious that Chris Dodd no longer represented the people. He was all about getting re elected and not serving the people. He has gone down hill ever since.

I find it very hard to believe that he thinks he is qualified to run for President. The only thing more ludicrous is Hillary Clinton thinking she has qualifications. At least Chris Dodd actually got things done in the beginning. Hillary has got NOTHING DONE, EVER. She has authored no successful bills in Congress. She was a zero as a first lady, her Health Care Plan was joke, she trashed the travel office in the White House, and she was a suspect in the Whitewater affairs.

Dave--Couldn't agree more with you about this. Unfortunately, politicians can only come up with creative ideas when they're running for election. Apparently, these creative juices cease to flow once elected, as they are no longer required. As for Clinton, in my opinion, her only goal in this election is to stroke her ego in becoming the "first female" president. I beleive there are far better reasons and ideals for becoming president. Since she's in Washington, all she need do is stroll to a few of the public monuments for some ideas. It's about time these louts actually had our best interests in mind! Public office is an honor--not an entitlement and definitely not only for the privileged few!
