so no one is responsible?..........Dodd was the author of the Bill.....if something got on it that HE did not want....then HE is not doing HIS job....another reason HE should be fired or resign.

That's ridiculous and is nothing more than a partisan witch hunt.  Dodd did not author the bill, he authored the amendment and someone apparently slipped something into it at the last minute.  If you expect everyone in the House to re-read every piece of legislation in its entirety over and over again to make sure nothing like this ever gets by, they'd never get anything done.  What about all of the people who voted to approve the legislation with this clause in it; don't they have the some culpability?
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

hell, who had time to even read this one....certainly no one in congress, this bill got passed WAY too fast....

why do you feel the need to defend this?....I have no denial, that I do not like Dodd or Franks....but, I am also, sick an tired of CONGRESS in general....the people are getting fed up....I know that I am....spending IS out of control, especially when times are extremely tough....

Ah, yes, the good old days. Remember the ABSCAM sting, when agents disguised as Arabian oil sheiks outed Congressmen for taking bribes in return for their intercession in Congressional matters? Remember our national outrage that elected officials would stoop so low? Sigh. Nowadays, if an investigation turned up a Senator or Congressman who was squeaky clean, the news would stop traffic!   :eek:  How low we've sunk. Clean house? Just get more of the same. :mad: :mad: :mad:

I am not defending this; I'm simply over listening to you blame a democrat for every issue coming down the pike when it's every bit as probable that it wasn't a democrat that slipped that little turd in there.  They're all douche-bags.

I agree they are ALL douche-bags...I will tell you now, I really don't care if they are dems or repubs...if a repub is doing this, then I don't want him there either.....but, for now, there seems to be a lot of evidence pointing at franks and dodd on this issue.

Actually, there's no evidence.

The plot thickens...now Dodd is admitting that he added the exemption.  At the very least, he a dirtbag liar.  Henry's right, he should go home.
