This morning's news can't help Lamont's campaign...

[DugwayDuke]

Sure it can. Wesley Clark was already on TV claiming this plot only demonstrates that we must have more friends in the world and that we must work closely with the rest of the world. IOW, our policies are all wrong because we don't suck up to the UN and the French. We must work closer with our allies and do away with our arrogant imperilistic go-it-alone, blah, blah, blah.

Molly,
The Ted Lamonts of this world will just conveniently conclude that this morning's story is "much ado about nothing." I call them the Ostrich Democrats.

If history repeats, we may see Congress controlled by a party hijacked by far-left liberals with zero commitment to national security or to waging the long war on terrorism

If this happens, the blame will rest squarely on the RINOs in the Republican party.

I could handle losing our majority because the American people rejected our values and solutions, but instead will lose the majority because our values and solutions were so diluted by the spineless within our midst that they were indistinguishable from those of the other side most of the time.

“I will tell you that the bloggers who came after me -- some of them were so full of hatred ... that it is just not good for our politics,” said Lieberman. “And, frankly, on some of those blogs was the kind of bigotry that just has no place in American public life. So I worry that this victory by Ned Lamont ... will send a message across our state and our country that the Democratic Party has been taken over by people who are not from the mainstream of America.”

Yeah, but remember, Joe, Ned don't know nuthin' 'bout no bloggin'!!

“And, frankly, on some of those blogs was the kind of bigotry that just has no place in American public life."

So says Joe. And I'm sure it was some of the most vile anti-Semitism this side of Paris. Lieberman was sporting enough not to lump Lamont in with the hate-bloggers but the Liberman campaign should quote specifics from the kook left.

Lamont is just the latest manifestation of George McGovern's legacy to the Democratic Party. With McGovern's nomination for president in 1972 and the subsequent changes in how convention delegates were selected, the Democratic Party began a leftward lurch that has now triumphed in the purging of the last vesitages of the party of FDR, JFK and Hubert Humphrey.

God forbid that any of their candidates become president.

Wouldn't know. My Dad votes Republican, even when has to hold his nose. He voted for Nixon, Goldwater, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, etc.

Like President Ronald Reagan once said, "I did not leave the Democratic party, the Democratic party left me".
