Re: Lamont or Lieberman?
It needs to be in white because I am trying to make a strat forum joke. But otherwise I agree with you. I was about to say that Ned Lamont agrees with me on the issues so I am happy he got elected, but I have no idea where he stands on the issues other than Iraq. Meh, good enough for me. Go Ned.

Re: Lamont or Lieberman?
[ QUOTE ]
Not sure why that needs to be in white. Lieberman just "conceded" and then said that he is going to run as an independent. As a democrat, this makes me sick. I hope the democractic machine will convince him to step aside, and if he continues to refuse, do everything it can to derail his campaign. [/ QUOTE ] As an American first, and a Republican second, it makes me sick that the Democratic Party has sunk to this low. I have no desire to argue about it, and will not post further in this thread. I believe this will help the Republican Party nationally in the long run, for several reasons, but it still saddens me as an American. He was one of the shrinking number of Democrat politicians I still had some measure of respect for.

He is wrong on the war and the voters let him know about it. God Bless America! I do agree with Lieberman about 95 percent of the time but the biggest issue he is dead wrong which outweighs everything else. This is the same reason the I will not vote or support Hillary. Here is the question that should be on peoples minds. "Knowing what you know now would you have voted for the U.S. to go to war with Iraq"

Re: Lamont or Lieberman?
Frankly, his support for the war does not bother me as much as his pandering to the "religionists" during the 2000 election. As a Jew, I found it tremendously offensive coming from another Jew. There were plenty of people who made the mistake of supporting the war.

Re: Lamont or Lieberman?
I highly disagree with people saying that Lieberman's loss is bad for the Democratic party. I would personally contend that Lieberman is not a Democrat at all. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing. A closet-Republican who has fooled the voters for far too long. Look at his recent record; he is pro-war, buddy-buddy with the president, and a social conservative. He spends most of his time denouncing the evils of violent movies and video games. If this is the kind of person I wanted representing me, I would vote for a Republican. In 1988, when Lieberman was first elected, it was with the help of REPUBLICANS, because they felt that the Republican senator in CT was too "liberal". They replaced a supposed liberal republican with a conservative Democrat.
Senators like Lieberman are not helpful for the party, they are detrimental to the cause of the Democratic party. People like Lieberman pull the Democrats to the right, closer to the Republicans. Being more like the Republicans is not going to win elections. Instead, it only limits choices and stifles debate. The fact that Lieberman lost today should not come as a shock to anyone. CT is not in the south; it is not Texas. Connecticut is in the northeast, a part of the Democratic stronghold. Even the Republicans in the area vote more towards the left than Mr. Lieberman. CT wants somebody more in line with their ideology, and they got it. Personally, I think it is a great day for the Democratic party to rid itself of this plague that has been a Republican wearing a Democrat's clothing since 1988.
