Friends,
Let the resounding defeat of Senator Joe Lieberman send a cold shiver down the spine of every Democrat who supported the invasion of Iraq and who continues to support, in any way, this senseless, immoral, unwinnable war. Make no mistake about it: We, the majority of Americans, want this war ended -- and we will actively work to defeat each and every one of you who does not support an immediate end to this war.
Nearly every Democrat set to run for president in 2008 is responsible for this war. They voted for it or they supported it. That single, stupid decision has cost us 2,592 American lives and tens of thousands of Iraqi lives. Lieberman and Company made a colossal mistake -- and we are going to make sure they pay for that mistake. Payback time started last night.
I realize that there are those like Kerry and Edwards who have now changed their position and are strongly anti-war. Perhaps that switch will be enough for some to support them. For others, like me -- while I'm glad they've seen the light -- their massive error in judgment is, sadly, proof that they are not fit for the job. They sided with Bush, and for that, they may never enter the promised land.
To Hillary, our first best hope for a woman to become president, I cannot for the life of me figure out why you continue to support Bush and his war. I'm sure someone has advised you that a woman can't be elected unless she proves she can kick ass just as crazy as any man. I'm here to tell you that you will never make it through the Democratic primaries unless you start now by strongly opposing the war. It is your only hope. You and Joe have been Bush's biggest Democratic supporters of the war. Last night's voter revolt took place just a few miles from your home in Chappaqua. Did you hear the noise? Can you read the writing on the wall?
To every Democratic Senator and Congressman who continues to back Bush's War, allow me to inform you that your days in elective office are now numbered. Myself and tens of millions of citizens are going to work hard to actively remove you from any position of power.
If you don't believe us, give Joe a call.
Yours, Michael Moore mmflint@aol.com www.michaelmoore.com
P.S. Republicans -- sorry to leave you out of this letter. It's just that our side has a little housecleaning to do. We'll take care of you this November.
What on Earth would Michael Moore know about sleeping with anyone?
A shot across the bow so to speak.
Hilarious. These idiots won the equivalent of a pre-season game. Lieberman destroys Lamont in the November main event.
He goes to bed with two of these every night.
She looks like Susan Sarandon + 100 pounds.
Please stay in the race while it gets tough Joe.This race will tear the Dems apart.
This race will effect other races in other states.Dems will be forced to choose sides.
This whole enchilada is great for our side.
Go Joe ,Go!
Fortunately, during an impeachment, 'It's All About Who You Sleep With', not whether you lie about it under oath.
as a people, we are just not conservative as we used to be.
everyone can make fatso cracks at moore, but I feel these coming "liberal" years will be totally devastating to the US and set us up for significant disaster.
These "useful idiots" have given the GOP tons of ammunition to use in election campaign ads. Out of the mouths of these treasonous idiots came anti-American, anti-military, appeasing, suck up to the enemy tripe. The GOP needs a shrewd writer for the upcoming campaign plus the gonads to use it. Pictures of Queen Hillary sucking up to Arafat plus all the Liberal anti-Israel, anti-American appeasing garbage will certainly impress all of us infidels.
For once, Michael the Hutt is exactly right.
In the current climate, any 'Rat candidate with any Bushie Baggage is toast. Since the 'Rats have proclaimed themselves to be the true Anti-War Party, and are going to run on that single issue in '08, then they need to abandon Hillary right now, and put up the only REAL woman who has a chance to be elected President in 2008...
Mother Cindy al Sheehani
My how the dem party has turned on itself.
A man they had run just 5 years ago for VPOTUS is out, which just shows who is running the show.
Can't wait for Babs Strysand's comments. Or Sean Penn, or George cLooney...these are the people dems listen to.
Okay...if NONE of the viable candidates the Democrats have are 'eligible' to be President by Fat Nasty's standards...who on Earth do they have in mind?
His punishment? What about hers????
Things like this have happened before: The old Junker families of Germany thought they were getting Hitler to do their dirty work for them; they wound up doing his.
When Charlemagne had finished building his Empire in 799, the Pope crowned him at a coronation ceremony proclaiming him the New Roman Emperor. This seemingly innocous act led to a fight that would last for centuries: who was the real king maker the Church or the State?
Tonight as I write this a similar coronation is going on in Ct. The sitting three term incumbent Joe Lieberman has been defeated by a political unknown Ned Lamont. (This is unusual because Joe is only the fourth Senator to lose a primary since 1980.)
Lamont is defined politically almost solely by his opposition to the war in Iraq. But the interesting part is the people who back him. Dubbed the "Netroots" it's an interesting patchwork of far left wing blog sites like DailyKos and MoveOn.Org. These people sent all kinds of money to Lamont who is a millionaire turning what is traditionally viewed as a local battle into a full scale national war.
Although they have found a narrow victory (Lamont catching 144,005 to Lieberman's 134,026, with 98 percent of precincts reporting) these people will be hailing a "major truimph".
This is going to leave moderate Democrats in pickle because the fringe's message isn't going to resonate with most people, and having most of the votes is what they need to win. If the attempt to appeal to the moderate base, they're going to lose the fringe and there aren't enough moderate Democrats to win anything either. Unfortunately, the fringe knows this and like the Pope's of old will excommunicate Democrat that refuses to tow their views.
Thus while anti war activists celebrate their victory, the real disaster and fight for the Democratic soul is looming ahead.
Hey, Michael, look over there. On the floor. Food!
Michael, I said it was food, I didn't say it was fit for human consumption.
But then, they are questions about what species you belong to anyway, so never mind.
Anyway, you finished it all off.
Michael Moore is in the same camp as Cindy Sheehan now!!! And so is Lamont!
