cartoon I see: democrat ass thinks ..ooo( US military = pawn for petty politics games )

Never happen.

But, you know, he also needs the sub base at Groton, which is, you know, the submarine version of the F-22, in order to stay in the good graces of Connecticut's citizens while he does stuff like this, and that's something that could, you know, potentially go as well.

Yeah, let's put hard-working Americans out of work to score petty political party points in DC.

[SkyDancer]

Right - let’s put America in jeopardy because of petty politics.

[OCCASparky]

And those boats and schools would go where, exactly?

[bcsco]

I think you’re right to point out that other senators sort of gently expressing their disapproval of his proverbial toplessness at this point is a bigger deal than it would be in the real world, that their words do actually sort of calibrate differently.

People actually listen to this garbage?

[Night Hides Not]

That will really help Dodd in his re-election campaign in 2010.

[Waco]

Defeat RATS ten to one,make em show their true commie leanings.

I grew up in East Lyme, and like many of my friends, my father worked at Electric Boat.

Of course the Democrats would close a major part of the economy to punish someone politically. The left is infamous for harming (or outright killing, depending on the culture) the citizens of a place for political misdeeds. It’s been that way since the Committee for Public Safety started executing priests and nuns for not towing the party line. So - no surprise here.

I also remember being a teenager in the 1970s and seeing what happened when Pres. Carter cancelled the submarine contracts. My hometown became a boarded-up ghost town - I moved away. Sad to see the Democrats are still treating southeastern Connecticut with the same disdain.

All the more reason to kick thier a##es in 2010. Give me some more reasons, I'm sure you will, get me more pissed than I am today, I'm sure you definitely will.

[Logical me]

If threat is true just goes to show the RAT party headed by the new communists leader King Obama.

[blue-duncan]

Political extortion.

[ozzymandus]

It amuses me to see how utterly deranged the left, especially the nut-jobs on MSNBC, are about Liebermann. I guess the idea of a RAT developing a conscience really disturbs them.

[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.

[HokieMom]

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

[Richard from IL]

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

[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.

[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!

[Fresh Wind]

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

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