I cant wait to see the Dems split their vote between Lamont and Lieberman, and we pick up a Republican in the CT seat. You know the Rats will be doing everything in their power to push Lieberman out of the race. They will cry to him that he is splitting the vote. This is the best news in a while. The Rats are self destructing by pandering to the wacko, anti-American liberals.
Lamont’s victory will make it difficult for any Democrat to take anything approaching a reasonable position on foreign policy questions.

Actually, on ANY issue or question. The far-left has to plans, certainly not for America, no agenda they can safely talk about, no vision, no interest in defending America and fighting its enemies, nothing other than a pure quest for POWER. Empty socialism, ala Marx.
"They are riding the public frustration with the progress of the war in Iraq . . ."
I respectfully disagree. They are riding the frustration of being out of power, which they see as their birthright.
Today's revelation of the plot to blow-up airborne flights between Britain and the US couldn't have come at a worse time for the Dims.
leftwing Jihad. LoL! perfect. The loons are taking over what's left of the RAT party. Everything is going acording to Rove's evil plan, BWWHAHAHAHA!
Lamont's vicotry is more than a Democrat loss.
Once again, some daddy warbucks with nothing to recommend him for office, aside from overweening conceit and large bankroll, has gotten nominated and possibly, but not likely elected.
Just like the Keans in New Jersey, the Frank Lautenbergs, the Mike Bloombergs, the Jon Corzines, the Kennedys, the Gores, the Kerrys, the McCains, the Rockefellers, etc. etc. it seems like you need a huge bankroll to get elected to office these days, or that if you HAVE a large bankroll, you can buy your way into office. I think this is just one outcome of the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold bill. Cut off contributions from outside sources and only the wealthy can afford to run.
Lieberman is the liberal conservatives sort of like. He supports the war on terror, is basically a decent guy personally, but on all other issue is a real liberal.
Too bad the Repubs don't have a viable candidate in COnnecticut, they might win. As it is, my suspicion is Lieberman will get relected as an independent. Only 20% of the Democrats voted and 44% of registered voters are independents - probably liberal.
A newspaper editor on FOX News last night said that the peolpe who came out to vote for Lamont (wasn't Lamont Cranston the "Shadow") were for the most part, VERY affluent and part of what he termed "transnationalists" - I assume one-worlders.
Michael Moore and Michael Schiavo and Hillary Clinton support Ned Lamont even though:
A vote for Ned Lamont
is a vote for the rights of abusive men*
to kill vulnerable women and children
at home and abroad.
*(like terrorists and unfaithful husbands)
Ten years from now, fifty, a hundred, there will still be a "Democratic" party on the ballot in many places. Whether it would be a national party, or only a loose coalition of regional parties operating under the same name, is still open to conjecture. Another major political party, the Whigs, who developed their roots while the US was still a colony of Great Britain, and were patterned on the English Whigs, managed to sink itself into irrelevance and eventual obliteration.
There used to be a party that was of almost national stature here in the US, the Progressives, founded largely by Teddy Roosevelt, as a sort of reaction to the "Old Guard" Republicans, but like the present-day Democrats, went too far in their pursuit of more and more radical social engineering programs, bordering on Stalinism. Eventually the remnants of the party chose to become the modern-day "liberal" Dem'crats, and this may explain their almost fanatical hatred of all Republicans.
They have hijacked the Democratic party, and turned it into the Dem'crat party. Much like what happened in Germany in 1933. Present day Dem'crats are not Nazis, of course, they are much too sophisticated for that. Their hatred of Jews is expressed by allowing the Jews of Israel be wiped out by the third-party Iranians and Syrians.
The Iranians and Syrians are notoriously poor stewards of this mission.
Had they thought out what they supported beforehand, they would have realized they gave up a Senate seat of a very skilled politician with national name recognition for a guy who will never be more than a back bencher.
Were I living in CT and had a weak R candidate, I'd vote for Joe only in what one can bring to the state vs the other.
That opening line says it all!
Democrats will not fight for freedom, protect the country or even acknowledge the War on Terror. (which reared it's ugly head again this morning). I truly thought people in CT were smarter than this - most work in New York City, many lost on 9/11. Lamont's back ground needs further exploration, who actually backed the 'new comer' and what they expected to get or do they really want to cut and run. There is more here than meets the eye or the reporting. The exponential fall out from these voters is clear; they will appease any who want to hurt America or any other country. Is this a thinly veiled anti-Jewish sentiment or are other factors at work here - all CT schools, colleges, professors, ministers must be looked into....Connecticut, Liberalism is thy name - you have caved in to the enemy. G-d help the children in those schools....................
The Democratic Party will be dead until something like a "Christian Democratic Party" rises from its ashes.
Of note, of course, is that the Constitution guarantees citizens of each state a REPUBLICAN form of government. A pure democracy is an extreme danger, as any thoughtful person would quickly see.
That's one reason why democrats are so enamored of polls.
I'm a little concerned about conservatives repeating that Lamont is a nobody and somehow this disqualifies him from office. If a conservative "nobody" in Rhode Island beat Chaffee or someone like him in a primary, wouldn't we be happy to have him? We all know the libs are hypocrites when they whine about Bush having no qualifications for office when they nominate idiots like Lamont, but we don't have to emulate them.
