Maddow Guest Jane Hamsher: Democrats Could Close Groton Sub Base to Punish Lieberman

Newsbusters ^ | 31/Oct | Jack Coleman

[GeronL]

They keep getting lower and lower

[DoughtyOne]

Exactly! National security, not important. Political payback, very important.

They sure don’t mind the public seeing them for who they are.

[sausageseller]

It seems that you are the only FR that sees that the need of a submarine building shipyard is in the best interests of America. We need submarines.

Don't diss other freepers.

NONE have called for the closing.

[HokieMom]

The fact that they would even talk this way is another reminder why liberals should never be in charge of anything important.

[GeronL]

Thats not a girl

[DogBarkTree]

Also dont forget about threatening Maddow with shutting down Snap On Tools.

[Richard from IL]

I doubt it since it will hurt Dodd’s chance to be reelected.

[Ulysse]

“VOX CLAMANT IN DESERTO” will prevail !
DON’T GIVE UP ! SHAME ON THEM !

[RoadTest]

The Red diaper-doper babies would jeopardize the security of our nation in order to get petty political vengeance? Take away their pacifiers and rattles.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Did you notice that “common sense” and “national defense” and “dollars and cents” had NO place in this discussion between two democrats?

[jttpwalsh]

I echo your sentiments. Orange County has always been a thorn in the Dems side, here, in Calif; let the record show the OC vote plurality, in 1990 denied DiFi the governorship that she lost. I found it to be no coincidence that a few years later, during the Clinton administrations, our two big military bases, El Toro and Tustin USMC Air Stations were shuttered. Everything with these clowns is about politics and power, first. Anyone who thinks that there is not at least a kernel of truth in this threat against Lieberman and Conn is sadly mistaken.

[publana]

Remember all the bases that Clinton closed? I find this to be a credible threat.

[DGHoodini]

Thatw the Dems for you: Party over the people! Party over the National Defense! Party Uber Alles!

[Pan_Yan]

Reopen Charleston. Naval Nuclear Power School is already down there.

Then again cooler heads may realize that concentrating more military forces in the part of the country most likely to secede again is not a good idea.

[Fresh Wind]

At first, I thought the title said “Hamster”.

Hamsher, hamster, no real difference. Both are squirmy little rats.

[SonOfDarkSkies]

And those boats and schools would go where, exactly?

Chicago!;-)

[6SJ7]

Now why would parents go and name their son “Rachel”? He looks like a nice enough chap, but the name “Rachel” must have screwed him up.

[tanknetter]

I doubt it since it will hurt Dodd’s chance to be reelected.

Yup. Dodd AND the rest of the CT Congressional Delegation. Which is all Democrats.

Dodd and DeLauro have enough pull in the Senate and House to stop this sort of thing. Not that it's even going to be raised. The person raising the issue is a moron who doesn't understand the concept of 1.) political power and 2.) political collateral damage.

[Oldpuppymax]

More evidence that leftists are ONLY concerned with what is best for the nation!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
