So When Can We Expect Dodd's Resignation?

It appears that Sen. Christopher Dodd is not only the recipient of an outrageous loan from Countrywide, he’s also hell bent on making us taxpayers bail his friends out. Now, as you can tell, I’m very much a proponent of the free market and my feelings on the mortgage situation is well documented on this site. What Dodd is doing here is utterly despicable.
In the first place, he sought out and received an improper loan from a corporation by using his political office as leverage, something for which he should be booted from office for in the first place. This is a man whom the hard left hailed as a hero during his short lived presidential campaign and it’s not surprising. In addition to unethical actions, he is now seeking to force responsible Americans to bail out irresponsible lenders and borrowers alike. This has nothing to do with fixing the housing market and has everything to do with a CYOA approach employed by Dodd. Read the whole aforementioned story by the Wall Street Journal, it’s sure to raise eyebrows.

How deep are the Democrats in the pockets and how dirty are they on this? Please reference the stories here and here, via Hot Air about Obama’s ties to Countrywide and his demonizing rhetoric on the company while at the same basking in their undying support, so much so that Dodd and the head of Obama’s VP search time both have filthy hands with regard to this scandal. A new type of politician indeed.

This Should be a Mandatory Law

In South Carolina, there is a bill in the State Legislature that would require mandatory drug testing for candidates running for public office. This is one of those common sense items that should be a slam dunk bipartisan effort and I hope it becomes law. Drug testing has definitely benefited the private sector and to be honest, I'm quite surprised this isn't a uniform law across all states. Being in the position of being a public servant is an honor and a privilege. I find it repulsive when an elected official engages in such illegal behavior and yet it seems that we have a system where politicians are not held responsible for their actions. Such is the case with Sen. Larry Craig. The guy should have resigned long ago. Regardless of whether what he did was legal or not, such behavior is not acceptable for a public servant. I hope South Carolina passes this law and it spreads like wildfire across the nation. It's high time we place a high, high ethical standard on our elected officials.

The Byrne Report Exposes for Sen. Feinstein For What She Is

Every so often you come upon an article that is written so well and proves a point so strongly that it deserves to be shared with everyone who is open to using their reading skills. Peter Byrne achieves this feat with his article "Daddy Kleinbucks." A synopsis here isn't exactly going to do the job in order to fully understand what a corrupt, ethics deprived, pathetic excuse of a public servant that is Sen. Feinstein. Read this whole article to get a great appreciation for just how "ethical" the Democratically controlled Senate truly is. You should also read this article to see just which party is truly war profiteering in the economic sense, and who is at the center of this scandal. You should also remind yourself that war profiteering is also based on hoping upon hope that America loses the Iraq conflict and the War on Terror overall, in order to practice sheer corruption and contempt for the American public in whole in order to use it as a talking point for the 2008 election. Their interests are simply political, and the left is stunned that not only are they not being able to make a few quick bucks with shady political deals, but the surge is working, thanks to the minority Republican Party who has achieved great results since being taught a lesson about not fulfilling promises in the 2006 election.
