Michael Moore Film Hammers Dodd

0 votes

Michael Moore is contemptible. But I know a lot of Connecticut residents like him and his new "documentary" villifies Chris Dodd, the final hurdle Peter Schiff would have to cross into the Senate.

According to the Washington Post...

In building his indictment against the ill-fated marriage of Wall Street and Washington, Moore zeroes in less on Phil Gramm or other GOP string-pullers than he does on White House economic adviser Larry Summers, Robert Rubin and Sen. Chris Dodd. Especially Dodd, the Connecticut Democrat and chairman of the Senate Banking Committee. Moore gets an on-camera interview with the mortgage officer who handled the special VIP loans provided to Dodd and other big names, which have dogged Dodd's reelection bid.

Dodd had appeared to be clawing his way back onto safer political ground in recent months, as he filled in for the dying Ted Kennedy as chair of the Senate health committee. But if "Capitalism" packs them in in Wallingford and Danbury, watch out.

Why do you have to register

Why do you have to register republican to vote in this country?

Is nobody else very concerned?

There seems to be a growing (and ignorant) anti-capitalist movement in America. It's very disturbing. And it's already been frustrating / exhausting to fight the trend.

Schiff's real challenge is definitely the Republican primary.

Might indeed be very good

Might indeed be very good news for Peter Shiff--and the movement of course!

Dodd will lose

Moore's assessment:

-----

As for Dodd, he said, "Lets the chips fall where they may." Last he checked, he said, Dodd was so low in the polls that his prospects looked bad no matter what.

"For the Democrats to save that seat, for the good of the party he should probably not run," Moore said, adding as an afterthought: "Though he's done a bunch of really good things."

Ultimately, Moore said, it's up to the Democrats to push Dodd to the sidelines: "I don't know why they'd risk losing that seat just because they're afraid to tell him not to run."

The biggest knock against Dodd in my opinion,

is that he amended the bailout bill to ensure bonuses for the bankers.

This fact should be exploited to its fullest.

Peter: champion the young

The Schiff campaign is going to need the under 30 crowd to register Republican in big numbers (only registered GOP can vote in the primary). If they spend wisely they can build a youth movement and supplement it with seniors who feel guilty about the debt burden they're leaving and/or angry that they're nest egg has been halved. But ages 40-60 in CT?.. a tough sell in CT. I'd go viral and to senior centers, forget wasting $$$ on tv ads.

The first 5 million supporters of Dr. Paul are 'early adopters.' The next 10 million will require a modified approach.

Which only keeps the corrupt GOP alive

and that is the tragedy.

Meanwhile, people who are truly sick of the dog and pony same old crap from both CORPORATE major parties are going Indy, and I believe this is VERY EXCITING for those of us who can handle a NWO ala RP.

WE ARE GOING TO WIN!

I wish Moore used the word

I wish Moore used the word "Corporatism" instead of "Capitalism".

Since the world "Capitalism" has been hijacked and bastardized, maybe we should come up with our own name such as "Freedomism" or "Freedom Capitalism".

Just a thought.

what happpened was not capitalism

and that "debtor revolt starts now" video is going viral....website coming.....

well

wasn't the term capitalism coined by Marx... i say free-market, market economy, free enterprise... etc
"The Myth of an Independent Federal Reserve"

Very good insight

The term is probably lost. I stopped using it a year ago. No big deal. It was a bad term anyway to signify a "free-market". Why? Well every economic system is capitalist--every economic system uses capital (even socialism and communisn).. The relevant question is: are individuals free to own capital, or does the State bar that?

October, I just use the term free-market.

Always use "free

Always use "free enterprise," trust me, it's my job.

The first 5 million supporters of Dr. Paul are 'early adopters.' The next 10 million will require a modified approach.

Moore needs to meet Ron Paul

seriously

WE ARE GOING TO WIN!

Doubt that's gonna happen...

Asked by an audience member if he was going to offer the president a private screening, Moore noted with a grin that his agent is Ari Emanuel, brother of chief of staff Rahm. But, he said, "I have not been invited to the White House yet."

He will be soon.

~Live life to its fullest, with an open heart, open arms and most important... an open mind~

I knew Moore was a puppet for the social liberals...

didn't SICKO come out when Hillary was trying to promote her Hillcare??? I thought i sniffed Bill/Hill around him.

The Emanuel Brothers are More Annoying than the Jonas Brothers

It's their other brother, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel , adviser to Obama on health, who promotes the "whole lives system" -- by which he means death panels which will give optimum care to those aged 15 - 40 and give "attenuated" care to all other.

The Marx Brothers

might be a more appropriate name. :)
