Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Invest in Democrats (2008)

http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/07/top-senate-recipients-of-fanni.html

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have also strategically given more contributions to lawmakers currently sitting on committees that primarily regulate their industry. Fifteen of the 25 lawmakers who have received the most from the two companies combined since the 1990 election sit on either the House Financial Services Committee; the Senate Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs Committee; or the Senate Finance Committee. The others have seats on the powerful Appropriations or Ways & Means committees, are members of the congressional leadership or have run for president. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), chairman of the Senate banking committee, has received the most from Fannie and Freddie’s PACs and employees ($133,900 since 1989). Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.) has received $65,500. Kanjorski chairs the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance and Government-Sponsored Enterprises, and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs.

Top recipients of Fannie/Freddie donations:

#1 Chris Dodd #2 John Kerry #3 Barack Obama #4 HIllary Clinton

I have to agree with Dodd. He did keep the faith.

Of course, the faith St. Paul kept was Christianity, while the faith Dodd kept was liberalism.

Too bad, so sad Dodd. Don’t let the door slam on you as you leave. Good riddance. Have I made my point yet?

Dodd, who is Catholic

Along with the Kennedys, Pelosi, and a raft of the other hard-core pro-child-murder Communist traitors in the Federal government.

Show me one Evangelical abortionist commie in government.

What? None?

Must be a statistical fluke...

Mr. Dodd, consider the Word of God:

Pslams 50:16 But to the wicked God says, "What right have you to tell of My statutes, And to take My covenant in your mouth?

Psalms 50:17 "For you hate discipline, And you cast My words behind you.

Psalms 50:18 "When you see a thief, you are pleased with him, And you associate with adulterers.

Psalms 50:19 "You let your mouth loose in evil, And your tongue frames deceit.

Psalms 50:20 "You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother's son.

Psalms 50:21 "These things you have done, and I kept silence; You thought that I was just like you; I will reprove you, and state the case in order before your eyes.

Psalms 50:22 "Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

Chris was trying to refinance with Bernanke Savings and Loan but so far has been unable to locate the Countrywide documents.

INDEED.

Only “important” if you consider the fond farewell from a crook who almost crashed the US financial system single-handedly.

Still a lotta house-cleaning to go on in that Millionaire’s Club.

Dodd had spent more than half of his life in Congress.

Unacceptable. Absolutely, but

...to my fellow senators who have never served a day in the minority, I urge you to pause in your enthusiasm to change Senate rules.”

We would be wise to understand why he is saying this. He is warning his Democrat allies, not Republicans.

McConnell needs to go--really! And McCain, Cornyn, Collins, Snowe, Graham, and many others. What is it with NOT seeing clearly these old farts that have decimated our sovereignty and used the treasury as their own treasure trove?--McConnell and McCain can't seem to see clearly! Teary eyed over Feingold and Dodd,for goodness sake. Sometimes, I think we are doomed because of our stupidity as citizens.

Barney Franks and Schumer need to go, but their constituents evidently don't mind having scumbags represent them.

I would have brought a Bic pen to the Senate chamber and shot spit balls at Dodd as he was speaking.

Hey, maybe that's what some should do in the House if Rangel's punishment is censure (instead of a reprimand).
