Dodd Is Freaking Out

I'm sitting here at work right now listening to the current debate on the Senate floor about the Dodd-Countrywide Bailout bill we have been fighting against these past few weeks. You can really tell that the public scrutiny is getting to Sen. Dodd, who is currently on the floor yelling about how those who oppose his bill are preventing poor children from having a roof over their heads (isn't funny how the left always use children to shield themselves?).

Unfortunately, for Sen. Dodd, his bill will not provide a roof over the heads of poor children, but would provide a more extravagant roof over the heads of middle and upper class children. The simple fact of the matter is that the majority of those who are facing foreclosure because of the the sub-prime crisis are middle class folks who tried to buy a $700,000 home rather than the $150,000 home they could realistically afford.

Shame on you, Sen. Dodd - I guess the truth doesn't matter when your own self-interests are at stake.
