Do ya think it would make a bit of difference whether Bush endorsed the Republican candidate? Really?

[Mrs. Don-o]

Here's an interesting pro-life Jewish perspective.It has what most liberal-pro-choice Jewish statements lack: citations from the Torah and the Talmud:

Good eye!

[Dr. Scarpetta]

IMO Pres. Bush SHOULD endorse the Republican candidate whether it makes a difference or not.

This kitties, is a stealth troll....See post 75.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.

[reagan_fanatic]

ZOT!

[FreeAtlanta]

I don't like his abortion stance, but If I was in CT, I would cross over and vote for him.

[BlackElk]

I am making the assumption that Joe Lieberman will continue voting as he always has. Anything else is a bonus. If you don't fully appreciate the significance of his defeating Weicker, let me tell you that stuffing Weicker was a major accomplishment for Western Civilization. Note that he campaigns for Lamont. Why would that be.

I respect yo but disagree with you.

O'Connor would probably be a great Senate candidate but the CT GOP has not earned the right to have him run.

Hey Doc, got a carpetbagger you can send us? Ain't no 'pub candidates here.

Yeah, let's vote for Loserman! Hell, Hillary supports the Iraq war too. We should be THANKFUL to have a staunch ally like her in the Senate!

[BillyBoy]

>> No mater what Lieberman's position on abotion is, Lamont's is worse. <<

NARAL disagrees, they endorsed Lieberman over Lamont in the primary. Both promoted hard-left views on abortion but Loserman's got a proven pro-abortion on demand record to match. The rank and file abortion industry likes incumbents who have carried the water for them all these years.

[vigilante2]

Nice try troll

[darkangel82]

3 zots of the same troll in as many days....he must be a glutton for punishment.

[mkjessup]

Is that ass-clown coming to FR from the same IP address, or is he mixing it up?

If you'd rather not reveal proprietary FR methods of detection, no biggie.

I was just curious where that fool was coming from.

CHEERZ! (and to reiterate, *Good Eye* ;)

[nopardons]

YIKES...........that's some list of nics!

[nopardons]

Great reasons for WHY those of us here, who live in Conn. should NOT vote for LIEberman or Lamont.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

That's quite a LIBERAL record Lieberman has accumulated over the years.

[Jameison]

Lamont makes Lieberman look like the boys scouts.
Lamont in the US Senate is like Cindy Sheehan or Micheal Moore in the US Senate.
It's going to be Lieberman all the way.
He's going to clobber your pal Lamont.
Sorry.
