Campaign 2006: A Hawk Stays Aloft

Aug. 21-28, 2006 issue - Joe Lieberman awoke last Wednesday with few prospects and no party. He'd lost the Democratic primary for his own Senate seat to challenger Ned Lamont and the army of "Netroots" Internet activists who'd hammered Lieberman's stubborn defense of the Iraq war. Even some of his friends thought his announced independent candidacy would be a sad and solitary quest.

Don't get sucked into Hal's bs.

He comes off as intelligent on first read.

Then you wipe.

I am inclined to believe this is true.

[JLB]

But then came Thursday, with chilling news of a terror plot in Great Britain, and suddenly it was clear that Lieberman would not go gently. "If we just pick up like Ned Lamont wants us to do," he warned a campaign crowd, "get out by a date certain, it will be taken as a tremendous victory by the same people who wanted to blow up these planes." Hawkish Joe was back: early polls showed him leading Lamont in the general election.

To insinuate that Lamont would be any less of a man in defending this country is tantamount to saying that Tinky Winky is to blame for buying ugly purses.

Insane.

What matters is what will the voters believe come November.

Nothing but homo shit.

Well I don't know about that but I do know.
The voters have proven you can never predict what they will do.

[Meathead]

yeah everybody loved marangi too until he got the call to play when it counted

lamont represents the extreme over reaction pendulum swing that will put us in just as bad a partisan jerk fest as the king has for the past half decade plus

lieberman is a quality senator and the country needs people like him right now more than ever. if the democrats reject him in this way i believe they will regret it

I think the dems already screwed themselves reguardless of what happens or doesn't to Joe.

Did anybody like Ashcroft? :guy:
That poor bastard first he gets screwed out of his Senate seat.
Thank God that got corrected.

Don't remind me of her :( Nope the state of Missouri is proof that machine politics still exist. We have two political families that pretty much run the state in one way or another. In the DNC its the Carnahan clan and for the GOP its the Blunt family.

Question, Coastal: What has Lamont done or said so far that would indicate he had any spine to stand up to terrorism?

Please show me that he knows any direction other than reverse.

[Meathead]

we will see

i would honest to god grade the current administration a solid F overall

if the dems cant defeat that we are in some very serious trouble people

[shiva2999]

that was a joke fairway

Fairway?

[anEinherjer]

Rob, please give us some evidence that Ned does not have the spine to "stand up to terrorism". I assume you are probably talking about him wanting out of Iraq, which has nothing to do with anything....

Here's Ned Lamont's OWN website. Listed are the issues of concern to him ... do you see "terrorism" listed anywehre? the only thing that comes close are the Iraq War and "Situation in the Middle East."

He can't even bring himself to admit terrorism is an issue worthy of its own study -- and he wants to represent a state heavily tied to New York City AKA Target #1.

Old Ned is down in early polling. 4 to 6pts. and losing ground well what do you know about that.

[JLB]

Rasmussen has Ned down 5 pts.

More News!!

Hillary is being called evil by New Hampshire Democrats.

The driving range owner?

No, the wanker that works at his dad's mini-putt, then goes on welfare all winter in Florida.

[Meathead]

the wingnut jackass who turned in his own sister in law for joking about killing the president and ruined her life

at first he was bragging about it then when he saw the consequences he disappeared. he came back for a while but the humiliation got to him and he dropped out again. there were rumors he himself came under scrutiny from the ss but i dont know if thats true or not

it possible he reregistered under a different name but i think i would recognize his lunatic wingnut logic

He ran against Lieberman.

[JLB]

He ran against Lieberman.
Remember Lieberman is the Hawk Lamont the Dove.
Running against Lieberman shows nothing except he won't fight.
Cut and Run best describes him.

He ran against Lieberman.

Thank God he had the help of native Connecticuters like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
