That was unfortunate timing this week for the Lamont Democrats, declaring themselves officially the antiwar party within 24 hours of the Brits foiling an Islamic terror plot to spread thousands of U.S.-bound bodies across the North Atlantic, or perhaps across New York, Boston and Washington as the planes descended. Yes, we know; they support the war on terror but are merely against George Bush's war in Iraq. How does that work? Last week before the Lamont victory, 12 members of the congressional Democratic leadership sent President Bush a letter urging that he start a phased pullout from Iraq, euphemized as a "redeployment," starting before the end of this year. But it is becoming increasingly fantastic to argue that in Iraq, with its apparently limitless supply of suicide bombers, hasn't much to do with the terror threats manifest elsewhere. Put it this way: From the perspective as of yesterday of getting on a U.S. airliner, who would you rather have in the Senate formulating policy toward this threat--Ned Lamont or Joe Lieberman? Well, the Democratic Party would rather have Ned Lamont.

The Democratic party needs to remember that Howard Dean was the "darling" of the liberal blogosphere. And his predicted meteoric rise to success as a candidate was one of the biggest flops of the 2004 campaigns.
Birth of a tag line....
"As God is my witness, I didn't know Muslims were terrorists."
EXACTLY!!!!
Ah, don't forget to include the MSM in this whole tawdry, insipid, studity train they've all hitched a ride to. That's why I always include the two together by: MSM/Dems, actually DBM/Dems is more appropriate today.
FRAUDcasters.
It will be forgotten by NOV.
O'Reilly wondered aloud last night what would have happened if the plot had been discovered before the primary. Would Lieberman have won?
I thought that was a GREAT question.
I'm humbled...
A bottle of explosive Botox?
That pic on 16 was just wrong. Quick someone get me a Brillo pAd so I can scrub that image from my brain.
To redeem yourself in my eyes you should post a Ann Coulter pic.
"Hey, don't worry about me. I'm just a doofus Texas cowboy. You can run rings around me. Just stick your neck in this loop of rope here. I'm to dumb to know what to do with it."
Shalom.
The Dems are always willing to join in a conspiracy theory to explain such things as the recent plot to blow up planes with liquids. They fail to realize their troubles lie within the party itself because they have no vision, they have no ability to think long-term. They deal in instant gratification and band-aid fixes, and then when plots like yesterday's news come out, they try to claim its revelation is "suspicious" in nature.
unfortunately, a tent revival of Demonicrats would turn into a 'come to Karl Marx' moment, not a 'come to Jesus moment'
Maybe not. He came back from a trip to Israel some months ago looking pretty terrified. The Dems can't afford for him to win as an Independent because he would be the swing vote in the Senate. That's why they are fighting so hard to get Lamont in.
