Ed Koch: I'm Backing Independent Lieberman
New York's "Mayor for Life" and one of the country's most prominent Democrats says he's backing Joe Lieberman's independent run for U.S. Senate.
"There's no blood oath binding him not to run as an independent," Edward Koch told NewsMax.
Koch predicts that Lieberman, running as an independent, would win the general election handily. He also noted that Lieberman would continue to caucus with Democrats when he takes his seat in the Senate.
Even though he's in trouble with the extreme left wing of his party, Lieberman, like most Democrats, was right to support President Bush on the War in Iraq, says Koch.
"The issue of terrorism is the only issue on which I agree with the president, but it goes to the issue of the survival of this country, to its very existence," he explained...

Not Christmas for the jew-hating democrats in USENET reading about Koch's support. They're not liking that at all. LOLLet's see if we can disect this. Lieberman and Lamont are now in a war for the Senate seat.
Mel Gibson was right, the JOOOOOOOOZZZZ are responsible for all the wars in the world. /sarc

Apparently they are expecting all the Dems who endorsed Leiberman to change sides and make a public stand tomorrow.

Ed Koch knows that the Democrats jihad against Jews starts with Joe Lieberman.

I don't even know who the Republican is...does he have a chance? No chance at all. I understand he has some legal problems
Well, Rove will have to fix that. This is a GREAT opportunity. Too good to lose

The damndest thing is that most of the left doesn't get it, and they are eager to take us all down with their sorry asses. I think the hard leftists understand it perfectly well. They understand that as long as this country is intact, they won't be allowed the power they seek.

I'd bet they won't - to hedge their bets - he's promised to caucus with the Dems if elected as an independent.

:-), Zell Miller once backed Slick Willy. Principled Democrats usually end up being much like Zell Miller. They put America First and Party second. I seriously doubt Ed Koch would support Hillary if she "Lamonts"

True, but the power they are bowing to and inviting would not accommodate them in the slightest.
