Dems -- Exactly Where We Want Them To Be

More noteworthy than Ned Lamont's defeat of Joseph Lieberman is the loony left's and Democratic leadership's puffed-up reaction to it. I say give them more rope and let them completely hang the party they've hijacked.

Many are acting surprised at the Democratic Party's readiness to throw Lieberman overboard. They shouldn't be.

Lieberman's 90 percent liberal voting record isn't good enough for the monomaniacal antiwar fringe. Complete obedience is required. No belligerence toward terrorists can be tolerated; all venom must be reserved for President Bush and the neoconservative cabal.

While Joe Lieberman was good enough in 2000 to join Al Gore on the national ticket, he probably wouldn't even be allowed in Jimmy Carter's prestigious box at a Democratic National Convention today, unlike the rabid Michael Moore, who has rooted for the terrorist insurgents against American troops in Iraq.

It's the same with the perfectionist unrealists in both parties. Reality doesn't work that way. Nice to see the loony left gaining control of the Dems.

Leiberman's been slapping these bumper stickers on cars all over CT:

BETTER DEAD WITH TED

[woofie]

As I was saying about the immigration policy of this administration...

[bitt]

can you pretty that up? Red?

[potlatch]

What, the words, "better dead with Ted"?

[Darkwolf377]

BETTER DEAD WITH TED

I am looking forward to the race. This dude seems to have one issue, and he's on the wrong side of it, particularly with the Israelis involved in a hot war with some of the same players.

Wouldn't it be: BETTER DEAD WITH NED

[Toidylop]

MSM thinks it's the DEM's year to take over congress, I see otherwise. This reminds me of George McGovern's stellar rise from the looney wing of the DEM party... All moonbats were so hyped up by the MSM then but they still lost BIG time.

[no dems]

Wouldn't it be: BETTER DEAD WITH NED

That's what I'm thinking.

[Darkwolf377]

Slate has an excellent piece on that very idea today--you can tell the writer hates Bush, but he points out that the same loony leftism is what brough us a Nixon victory.

The Dems really do want to replay Vietnam all over again. If they take congress, look for them to cut funding for our Iraq operations at some point.

[bitt]

ooops, I'd already changed it to "TED" for Massachusetts....

hehheh....

[bitt]

oops, I wanted "Ned" for CT

and "TED" for MA...

I might personally fund the creation of these just for the fun of sneaking them on cars all over the 2 states.....

[Uriah_lost]

Absolutists destroy the cohesion needed to win, I agree with you completely. Now if we can just keep McCain from being "The Grenade with a Bad Haircut Part Deux" we should be good....

[Darkwolf377]

Exactly--keeping the unrealistic absolutists at bay is crucial BUT the alternative can't be RINOs. The Dems understand that the real fight is in the primaries; too bad for them they chose the wrong state, because Lieberman's popularity with those outside the hardcore is strong enough for him to win.

[Ma3lst0rm]

The Dems may be where we want them to be but it could help for Republicans to work a little harder to take advantage of Dem weaknesses.

[tflabo]

DEMS...the anti-war party lemmings when we have the Islamist jihadists (Britain and worldwide) who continue the reign of terror against civilians. IDIOTS..... Neville Chamberlain in WWII did not appease the way to peace but rather stoked the confidence of the enemy. Dems should NOT be anywhere near Power in the USA.

[ladyinred]

I was thinking along the same lines. Both parties have this problem, although I must say the rats don't have it as bad. They usually stick together.

Stark Raving Moonbats

[Rembrandt_fan]

You wrote, "Nice to see the loony left gaining control of the Dems."

I've heard fellow conservatives express this sentiment a lot lately. The take on this seems to be if the Dems are suborned by the extremist Michael Moore/Kos/Soros moonbat crowd, then moderate-leaning independents and defense-minded Democrats will swing to the middle--if not in the midterms, then in the next presidential election, thus assuring a (perhaps) decades-long Republican ascendancy.

Maybe. Could be. Possibly.

But, for the sake of argument, what if the moonbats win? I think the incessant pounding by the MSM in its overwhelmingly negative 'framing' of the war is taking its toll--and this growing antiwar sentiment, combined with a 'throw the bums out' mentality historically common to second-term Administrations, might propel the Dems into power--probably in the House, possibly in the Senate. A moonbat win in the House would be a disaster by any measure, but an even greater disaster would be the transformation of the Democratic Party from wrongheaded but well-intentioned opposition to self-loathing, America-hating, peace-at-any-price extremism.
