Forget the war in Iraq, the war on terror, or any other war against which Connecticut citizens are said to have voted by defeating Joe Lieberman and nominating Ned Lamont for the U.S. Senate.

The operative war for American citizens is something closer to home -- a war of independence from the bickering partisans who have made political life in America a childish and tedious exercise.

Whether you like or dislike Lieberman, his exit from the Democratic party means that Democratic Party became essentially the "Party of Democratic Socialism".

I don`t know what it is with the east coast, but as a resident of New York, I would be very interested to learn why so many psychopaths keeps winning elections in this section of the country. Are the polls flawed? Is the water tainted? I drive a taxi in New York city, and I can seriously say with a straight face, I have yet to meet anybody who supports Hillary or any kind of a leftist trust fund baby on the level of Ned Lamont. It just never happens. Most I meet are against terror, yet these pukes keep winning. Ted Kennedy, Patches the asshole Kennedy..WHY do these absolute shietbags of humanity keep winning?

Flash to Connecticut immediately after the count, and Lamont's victory photo tells the rest of the story. There they were, those two perennial groupies to irrelevancy, the twin reverends Sharpton and Jackson.

That picture of Joe Lieberman in blackface didn't deter them the least (surprise).

The northeast has been the most liberal part of the country for decades. In 1964 Barry Goldwater joked about cutting it off and letting it float out to sea.

New Hampshire used to be somewhat conservative, but it seems to be becoming more like the rest of New England. New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland are no better.

They're riding in the limos.

Whether he exits or not, the democratic party is and has been the "Party of Democratic Socialism"

Ole Joe is pretty much a socialist himself.

The only thing that sets him apart from his party is his stand on Iraq.

It's not like Joe is Zell Miller. Far from it.

I agree. I never cared for the man. Waaaay to much of a socialist for my taste.

And that can be carved in stone.

Lieberman is rated 17th most liberal senator in the Senate. That's pretty darn liberal. While I disagree with all his socialist views, he's a decent man who realizes the nature of the world we live in.

[R.W.Ratikal]

And if Lieberman had his way we would live in a socialist world. Anyone who wants to turn America into a socialist welfare state is not a decent man.

Liberals like Lieberman are far more dangerous to you than any terrorist will ever be.

You mean ONE OF,/b> the parties of democratic socialism.

[farlander]

Well as far as things go, I'll prioritize the threats - however, I will admit it's pretty darn hard to choose who's more of a threat, the socialists/communists or the terrorists since all their agenda's overlap. At least Joe doesn't like the terrorists, as opposed to the Dem leadership.

Very Good addition -:)))
