Lieberman Pleads For Unity Against `Barbarians'

Way to sock it to Lamont and the other Dem lefties, Joe, although calling them barbarians is a tad strong.

[rmgatto]

Lamont, 52, a cable-television entrepreneur,

Wrong. Lamont inherited a fortune from a mega rich grandfather and invested in a cable tv company that was and remained mediocre. Lamont hasn't earned a real dollar in his overprivileged limo liberal life, and he tries mightily to obscure the fact that his wealth comes from investments bought with a ralative's wealth.

Lamont's wealth comes mostly the money he inherited from his grandfather Thomas W. Lamont, a partner of JP Morgan. Lamont’s company, Lamont Digital Systems, has shrunk radically down to 35 employees from 100 and provides private cable service to gated communities and college campuses. Looks like a playtoy for Ned courtesy of capitalist grandfather Thomas.

Lamont and Kos: the Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie of the Democrat Party.

for interesting details.

He is. The question is, are they listening. I doubt it.

[FastCoyote]

Wow, Jow's taken a BIG walk off the reservation now. No going back after a speech like that, he could get elected Pope talking that way.

[ExcursionGuy84]

...there seems to be very little intelligent life on Earth.

Especially in the US Congress....which makes me both angry and fearful for America.

[Nuc1]

VERY VERY WELL SAID! Sums them up nicely. We should be using it as a stump speech section right now.

[Alter Kaker]

Since the Commie Courant is not as blatant as usual, this may take a couple of minutes of your time. :-)

The Commie Courant twice endorsed George W. Bush. It is a strange paper.

This is a link to the democrats plan for national security.

This should be run in every attack ad that the GOP funds.

Me thinks Joe is running for president.

[A. Pole]

Using apocalyptic imagery of civilization lost, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman blamed politics Friday for undermining the war on terror and leaving the U.S. vulnerable to "barbarians at our gates."

That's right, watch what they do not what they say and in Lieberman's case he and Ted Kennedy are on the same page on almost every policy issue.

[null and void]

Maybe he had an Epiphany???

[reg45]

Add Alan Dershowitz to the list.

[raybbr]

Some on this site "know Joe" while others keep believing that there are "good" democrats.

[Clintonfatigued]

It's true that Joe Lieberman's record leaves much to be desired. But remember who he's running against.

[Liz]

Go figure politics----Joeberman goes from being "Conscience of the Senate" (gag), to heralded VP candidate, to prez candidate, to political scumbag, in just a few short years.

CT Dims even dumped Joe from the candidates lineup at the traditional Labor Day parade.

How low can he go?

[Tim Long]

Knibbs for Senate. Don't tell me it's hopeless. I don't like anyone else in the race, alright? : )

[cgbg]

This is really cool! If he gets elected as an independent despite the huge currency invested in his leftist opponet by the anti American extremist, the heartburn on the left will be a sight to behold!

Connecticut is launching those new fancy electronic voting machines, you know, the ones that Karl Rove operates out of the servers in his basement. :-)
