Lieberman is handsome, well-spoken and has a positive image. With the exception of the war on terror, he is liberal as a June day is long. Don't waste your tears.

Anyone seen this from the rabid Lamont people?

Salazer isn`t my hero but, loyalty means a lot. Good for him.

campaigned as a pro-life conserative, promised to work with dubya,would vote for conserative judges, nada nothing lying POS who immediately did a turncoat on the voters who supported him; kinda of reminded me of wussie Joe who was prolife conserative and then sold his soul to the devil,votes for partial birth abortion, shafted the military on their votes in 2000 and up until as late as last year was stilling talking about how he would be v.p. if "ALL THE VOTES HAD BEEN COUNTED", birds of a feather or in this case RATS flock together, they deserve each other and hopefully the voters in colorado will dispense of him too.

progressives....

Current word used by Democrats that actually means "radical liberal," but doesn't turn the public's stomach.

[Wolfstar]

But Lamont is even worse, as evidenced by his victory speech where he was right next to Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the Uber Abortionist Kim Gandy.

And in which Lamont said Israel is guilty of crimes against humanity, among other "charming" statements along similar lines.

[Soul Seeker]

I think that to some extent, what Salazar stands for in Washington is a little more centrism, a little more congeniality

Like when he called Dobson the anti-Christ? LOL

Salazar barely won office as Republicans didn't like their candidate, thought Salazar would be a moderate, and Colorado has picked up some Dems in later years.

It's a swing state, but it's not yet MASS or CT. Dumping Leiberman who is popular among Liberals who don't hate their country wouldn't be the right move no matter what threats the Kos Dems in Colorado level.

[Alter Kaker]

I'm hoping that Chuck "Putzhead" Schumer will at least have to face some flak from his constituents and big donors for the shameful way that he discarded Lieberman as if he were used toilet paper...

Schumer didn't discard anybody. Connecticut's Democrats primary voters discarded Lieberman, and they're the only ones to blame. Schumer is head of the DSCC -- if he hadn't backed Lamont after the primary, he would have been fired.

[The Electrician]

You are being entirely too logical. Logic rarely plays a part in political maneuvering, especially where Demo/Commies are concerned. The intent behind my post was to point out that this situation could be exploited in a number of ways for scoring political points, and one of them is to take some of the phony "luster" away from Schumer. If Schumer believes that such a line of attack might be "unfair" or "deceptive", too bad - unfairness and deception are Schumer's tools of the trade, and it's about time, not to mention turnabout being fair play, that they be used against him.

[Night Hides Not]

I guess that puts Salazar at the top of the DU sh_t list.

Highest he can get on that list is #4, behind Dubya, Rove, and Rummy.

I'm sure there's a few more that I missed.

Doesn't the Lieberman mess remind you of the days of the HUAC and the Hollywood blacklist? The political realignments, making enemies, betraying friends, the naming of names to Congress?

Looks like the masochistic Dims are reliving it all over again thru Lieberman. LIEb's misguided entry as an Indy is pure political theatre.

It's a kick to watch the Dims slither hither and thither---trying to make up their minds who to betray, who to endorse, who's a friend, who's the enemy.

Watta riot watching that CBS news clip----Sen Chris (sandwich) Dodd endorsing Lieberman, then switch-hitting to winner Lamont, lurking in the bgrnd trying to look invisible as Lamont made his victory speech. Ol' Dodd looked like he was at a hanging.

"Start melting the butter---lots of it. This is gonna be fun"

Needs to make this decision real by brining along dem congressmen and senators.
