Ned Lamont's True Colors

Waterbury Republican American ^ | Sunday, August 13, 2006 | Waterbury Republican American Editorial Board

[Koblenz]

This was in the Waterbury newspaper. The other day, Tom Swann, the head of the Lamont campaign, said some really nasty things about Waterbury, which went over 60% for Lieberman in the last primary. Lamont will almost certainly carry even less of that city in November.

This editorial certainly won't help him!

[Uncle Hal]

Lamont's background makes him the perfect Democratic candidate. Socialist and Stalinist ancestors means he should fit right in with the current crop of Democratic politicians.

[Koblenz]

Connecticut Ping!

[livius]

Corliss Lamont was appalling, and I bet there are still enough voters around old enough to remember him...and will not like the idea of voting for any family member of the nutty hard-left Lamont family. I hope this connection is well-publicized.

[Enterprise]

Lamont's true flag.

[clintonh8r]

Uncle Ned should give his fortune to the oppressed of the world...

[johnny7]

That's like lifting up a toilet seat... when someone left it backed-up a week ago.

[Fred Hayek]

I have a confession to make.
In my youth while in New Jersey I used to dislike rich people. Now looking back I found that what I disliked were limousine liberals ( then I called them Park Avenue Penthouse Liberals)- like Ned Lamont

[libstripper]

The absolutely vile thing about Ned Lamont and all the other like him (The Swimmer, The Traitor, etc.) isn't that they're rich. It's that they're absolutely determined to destroy history's greatest wealth creation machine, thereby impoverishing everybody else and making it impossible for anybody else to acquire the same amount of wealth.

[marsh2]

It always gets me when the Democrats try and perpetuate the myth that they are "for the poor and the working man" and then trot out these super rich elitist socialists.

[Fred Hayek]

Yet their view is "I got mine, now I'm kicking away the ladder". The exact same view as George Soros, an admitted limousine liberal.

[hershey]

Yellow.

[Lexinom]

To discover their true character, find out how they stand on the weak and the poor who cannot vote.

[JCEccles]

Ned Lamont? No. Red Lamont.

[tanknetter]

It's that they're absolutely determined to destroy history's greatest wealth creation machine, thereby impoverishing everybody else and making it impossible for anybody else to acquire the same amount of wealth.

Thereby making an enormous amount of the population dependent upon the Government for survival, and ensuring that those dependent voters cast their ballots for politicians who promise to maintain/expand government handouts. Like the Swimmer, the Traitor, etc.

Transcript: Connecticut Senate Candidate Ned Lamont on 'FNS'
Sunday, August 13, 2006


WALLACE: Mr. Lamont, does your victory show that at least some Americans are weakening in their will to fight the War on Terror?

LAMONT: No, I think on the contrary. What this election showed is that a lot of people in Connecticut think that the invasion of Iraq has nothing to do with our War on Terror. It's been a terrible distraction.

Here you are talking about the failed terrorist plot today. It originated in Pakistan, goes through London, and here we have 132,000 of our bravest troops stuck in the middle of a civil war in Iraq.

I think it was that disconnect that a lot of people focused on in Connecticut.

WALLACE: When Vice President Cheney said that your victory encourages the Al Qaeda types, did you find that offensive?

LAMONT: Yeah, I did find that offensive. I find that terribly harsh and wrong. Look, what's going to — what we ought to be doing is fighting the War on Terror in a serious way. I think we've gotten a little bit complacent, to tell you the truth. Maybe we've had a wake-up call in the last couple of days.

We ought to be focused on homeland security. We ought to be focused on our ports, on our airports and public transportation, a lot of which you were talking about here today.

We also are much stronger when we work in concert with our allies, when we have shared intelligence. And I think that we've taken our eye off the ball there a little bit, and I think it's time to focus.

WALLACE: You've also been critical of the Patriot Act. Are there some elements of that that you wish had not been passed?

LAMONT: Look, when it comes to the Patriot Act, again, I think it ought to be tightly drawn to respect our civil liberties but also give the American intelligence community all the tools they need to fight the War on Terror. And I think it's a careful balance we have to have there.

WALLACE: Is there any specific measure in the Patriot Act that's in there now that you would like to see taken out?

LAMONT: Well, certainly, there's been an awful lot of talk about going after librarians and seeing what books that, you know, Chris Wallace's kids are taking out and not taking out. That seemed to be casting a net a little too wide, that jeopardizes some of our liberties, sure.


******


Name ONE librarian that has been 'gone after'?!!

[Fudd Fan]

Is Lamont gay? I had the same feeling about McGreevey.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

[redbaiter]

Ummm what feeling was that?

Again with the library records. Pretty touchy about that ain't they? Isn't obtaining library records pretty much standard operating procedure in criminal investigations?
