Goodbye Mr. Dodd
By Lisa Richards

The darling cotton top Senator Chris Dodd said goodbye to Connecticut today. Well, next year he will finally leave the state completely fed up with his lack of accountability, so Connecticut is stuck with the liberal mooch for 12 more months. But wasn’t it simply the most darling speech you have ever heard, or seen; a Senator saying goodbye, surrounded by his adoring wife and cute little girls?
At least this leader wasn’t announcing homosexuality, Latina mistresses, or fathered children campaign coquettes.
Dodd made reference to his sister, who died from cancer, his own battle with cancer, and the most beloved Senator in the history of drinking, driving, and lampshade attire: Ted Kennedy.
The farewell speech had all the pomp and ceremony of all phony send-offs. Dodd reference Kennedy so many times, one wondered if the late senator might sit up in his grave. Dodd told the press he passed four important pieces of legislature this year and the most important bill is his vote on the healthcare bill most Americans do not want. To that he added, that
after giving his vote, he walked through Arlington National Cemetery, “on that snowy Christmas Eve day,” and “stood on the snow-covered hillside,” “looking down upon the grave” of his dear friend Teddy’s “brother’s grave,” and “thinking of Teddy.” It was like Frost was speaking on a wintery night.
Yes, let us pass this nearly trillion-dollar healthcare bill so Ted Kennedy can be canonized.
And let us not forget what day this is: January 6th, Epiphany Day. Dodd made sure his lips were suctioned tightly to the Pope’s robes by mentioning he was speaking on just such a day. It might lend help in forgiveness for aiding and abetting in the Wall Street disaster and questionable acquirements of Irish property.
I love adorable leaders who use dead people and Catholic holidays in attempt to shove exorbitantly expensive healthcare bills down the throats of choking-to-survive Americans.
Dodd’s actions are Statist, they are reason he must leave office: Connecticut is fed up with his lack of discipline and neglect to protect the state’s right to self government and its rights and needs to create jobs through lower taxes and welfare reform he refused to amend and is the cause for Connecticut businesses leaving the state and factory job losses over the last thirty years.
Dodd denies his actions are his reasons for resignation. He said he is aware of his political standing with the citizens of Connecticut: “There are particular times and actions that have caused some of you [people of Connecticut] to question that confidence [you had in me], I regret that, [but] I have never wavered in my determination to do the best job for our
state and our nation.” Yet Dodd insisted none of those “circumstances that happened over the last couple years” are the reason he is resigning.
His misdeeds have indeed forced him out, because the people of Connecticut have had enough of a Senator who “loves his job,” but does not prove so by doing his job.
In ending his speech, Senator Dodd made a particular remark, a declaration, which, unfortunately will go over the heads of most Americans. The rhetorical phrase is all too common and utterly and completely false: Dodd stated “The work to make our nation a more perfect union began long before I was elected to this Senate and it will go on long after I am gone.” Those words are correct, our Founders did work tirelessly “to form a more perfect Union,” but the next words are the unfortunate repercussion of the 35 years of Chris Dodd’s constant
disservice to Connecticut. These utterances are erroneous and the foundation for Statism: “Our country is a work in progress and I am confident that it always will be.”

America is no longer a work in progress. The development and evolution, the making steps forward to create a working country, ended in Philadelphia in 1789 when the American Founders signed the Constitution into law. The progress to create a nation was completed in 1789; the actual work we Americans today must continue is just that: continuance and
preservation of the Constitution, upholding it and our Declaration of Independence and our great Founding. We must fight to keep it alive for future generations, not work to make a new union, which is what Dodd is de facto implying: change America.
Dodd’s words have been embedded into the minds of Americans for generations now, and Americans actually believe our nation is a revolving work in progress with a living, breathing Constitution that devolves through evolution.
Dodd, and many leaders in power in both parties, are the reason the country is on a collision course through Eurocratic ideology: the belief America must be remade over into something better suited: Statism, the control of government over every aspect of people’s lives.
Chris Dodd is not the only leader who must resign, we the people have a charge to keep, a role we must take part in, and that is to see that every leader who has served us with ill will be removed and replaced with Constitutional Originalists.
Chris Dodd was in office 35 years, eight terms, and four decades in the National Assembly; that is too long for anyone to serve without the temptation to become lazy and consumed with power and pomp while worshipping faux monarchy they pay homage to through with disastrous votes for bills that will, if enacted, destroy this nation and its people.
