If LIEberman loses it helps the republicans by pointing out just how far left the dem party has moved. They are worried about the signal that loss will send to old line democrats.
If history is any guide, I doubt it. I don't think they look at this in religious terms. Lieberman is for the Iraq war. He has not recanted. You have many high profile Jews against Lieberman including Barbara Streisand and Soros. The Dems will still continue to garner 75% of the Jewish vote.
ALL the MSM misquoted General Abizaid. How infuriating and thank you Dr. Rice for setting the record straight.
Pretty sad when you hear both senators :
Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., and Chris Dodd, D-Conn.
sound alike when it comes to the war in Iraq.
Given his ego, that's a real danger, I think.
Don't know whether to laugh or cry at Bill Kristol's idiotic suggestion that President Bush must fire Rumsfeld and replace him with Joe Lieberman. Thank goodness that little weasal (Kristol) doesn't have the influence in the administration moonbats thinks he does... Of course, any influence is probably too much.
I just love that Lautenberg, that paragon of integrity, has told LIEberman not to run as an independent if he loses the primary.
TMI?
I lived in Tehran for two years, including during the period of the downfall the Shah and the hijacking of the Iranian Revolution by Khomeini. You couldn't be more wrong.
The mullahs are interested in power, money, and survival. They don't have a death wish or advocate national suicide. The Iranians want nuclear weapons as an insurance policy against any future US involvement in Iran and to use it as leverage to increase their influence in the region. Overt and first use of nuclear weapons by the Iranians would result in the total destruction of the country, i.e., national suicide. It just isn't going to happen.
The danger of nuclear weapons in the hands of the Iranians is that they will give them to non-state actors and do it in such a way that it can't be traced directly back to them, thus trying to avoid any retaliation. That is the real threat and possible miscalculation. We need to abuse them of any such notion.
We have to be sure to keep the Senate with enough of a margin so chaffee wont' be tempted to pull a jefford.
However if he looses to the dem that is one less seat in the Senate for the Republicans and as an Independant he will go with the dems IMHO.
But on the the other hand I agree with you that it will show how far to the left the dems have gone.
Heard that McCain specifically and pointedly disagreed with his good friend Hagel.
Sad to say, I subscribe to the WP. You are totally wrong if you believe that the WP is "more moderate, intelligent" than the rest the leftist MSM. They have been virulently anti-Bush, anti-GOP. I can cite you a litany of attacks going back to Nixon.
I knew about the NY Times endorsement of Lamont, but not the WaPo's of Lieberman. The Times has clearly been in the Stalinist wing of the Democrat party for some time. WaPo still represents the patrician Kennedy wing which values ong term loyalty on the important issues (like their perks).
However, my post, both yesterday and today, was limited to the news organzations that were covering the race on their Sunday morning talks shows, particularly NBC with surrogates Lanny Davis and Jim Dean, and ABC with "on the road" interviews with Lieberman and Lamont.
And poor Juan, he's still convinced that the exit polls were right and the election RESULTS were wrong. He believes Kerry really really really won.
Check this out...
Weeks of bombing leave nation in ruins
one of the lines in this story..
Bombs have devastated the country's brand-new network of superhighways -- the centerpiece of the late Prime Minister Rafik Hariri's long-term recovery blueprint for Lebanon.
This piece of "journalism" tries to play on the love of Rafik- and his tremendous job as Prime Minister- to place blame on Israel....playing that oppressed sympathy card....or deck of cards....
But in reality- Rafik was GREAT for Lebanon- but he was ASSASSINATED for it....by whom?
Well by Syria, of course.....
Yes- the same bunch of thugs supplying the thugs that started the war- that has destroyed all the hard work of the very man ASSASSINATED for the terrible crime of bringing Lebanon out of the dark ages and being adored by the people.....
It as pathetic as the media and "black leader" attempts to try and correlate the demand for welfare and "help" for blacks as MLK Jr's DREAM.......
does the media EVER step into reality? or will the "light" kill their vampire asses........
The largest paper in the state supports Lieberman as well.
Every time you turn around Israel is hitting a high value target whether those are human or structural. Leads one to believe that they are getting a significant amount of help from the locals. In spite of what the MSM says, the Hezbos are not liked or wanted in Lebanon. These people just aren't stupid enough to go on record with those thoughts.
There is a line where sanity must prevail.
Doubt that Dingell would have come out to try to 'explain' himself if the dems weren't worried about the jewish vote.
We shall see.
The flip side seems to be an upsurge in registration of new voters as Democrats so that they can vote in the primary. I smell George Soros at work here.
