Lieberman vs Lamont, Round 2

^.^

First, a note of administrivia... I have enabled moderation of reader comments. This is in the wake of the link note spam that the comments section to this blog has received. I apologize for any inconvenience this spam note may cause, but I have found there is nothing I can do about it since it was posted before I instituted the moderation. I will be ready for such stuff in the future tho...

And now, on with our regularly scheduled article...

Last night was perhaps the biggest grouping of the Fall 2006 political primary season, with primary elections in both Connecticut and Georgia.

All I have to say about the Georgia primary is THANK GOD THE WICKED WITCH IS DEAD, as Congressman Cynthia McKinney crashed and burned, losing a run-off election to challenger Hank Johnson, who ran on a platform of not being Cynthia McKinney.

Now to the main subject of this article...

Three-term senator Joseph Lieberman lost his re-election bid to Liberalista Democrat Ned Lamaont. Lamont, who has been called "over his head" by Dick Morris, who helped Lamont on a statewide race in the past. Morris believes that Lamont will lose in the November general election.

The thing is, the Democrats believe so too. Lamont is now working on getting Lieberman to drop out of the race, saying that the people have spoken...to which I respond, Yes, they elected you as the Democrat candidate, but that doesn't stop Lieberman from running as an independent.

From the Republican point of view, we will be able to paint Lamont, and any who support him as weak on the War on Terror, and weak on national defense, and rightfully so! A look on Lamont's website says that Israel ought to give up land for peace in their current conflict aaginst Lebanon! Yes, Israel should cede land to a bunch of terrorists who inhabit a land that is partially governed by those same terrorists...because this has worked so well the last few times it has been tried...

Yes, I am glad Lamont is the choice for Democrats in Connecticut...because Republicans will use him as the poster child for the Liberalista Left, and NEWSFLASH folks, the country is not that far left...we don't all cheer behind MoveOn.org as they launch their little volleys of bombs at George Bush and the Republicans. We don't all believe that our forces should cut and run from Iraq, leaving that country to disintegrate into sectarian civil war. I am not saying Conservatives agree with the Bush administration 100%, but we're far from being ready to sign up on the Sorosmobile.

The thing is, the Democrats won't lose anything. Lieberman has said he plans to run as an "independent Democrat" which to me means that once he wins in November, he will rejoin the Democrat party, and there is no doubt in my mind that the party will have him back...come on, when the chips are down and it comes to the numbers game in the US Senate, the Democrats will want Joe Lieberman as one of THEM simply because it gives them one more Democrat.

However, the damage will have been done. The election of Ned Lamont may have secured the US Senate for the Republican party in the November election.

So, GO LAMONT! Let's hear all about how you hate the military, how you want us to retreat from Iraq, and how you think the Bush administration has led us down the wrong path.

You'll find out shortly just how wrong you are about the poliitcal views of the American people.
