What's this about Moore? Exactly how is he relevant here besides being some kind of bogeyman to the right wingers?
He's got
nothing to do with the DNC and besides, Lieberman was the
DSCC's boy wonder,
not the DNC's.... and the DSCC could implode for all I care. It's nice though that they're now backing Lamont, but none of this has anything to do with Moore.
I've watched this race brewing since Lamont first tentatively threw his hat in the ring, where he said that if he could get 1,000 people to pledge to volunteer, he'd run. About a month later he had those 1,000 volunteers and was off to the races. In all those months, I've honestly never
ever heard Moore's name mentioned. He had nothing to do with this.
This:
Moore is the defacto leader of a VERY large organization, who just rightly pointed out that he has the power to remove elected officials from office whom he doesnt like..." - b222r
..... is nuts.
And while Iraq was a HUGE deal in the CT election and rightfully so, it was not the extent of it. Lieberman tried to give a pass to Bush's rejigging of Social Security which the vast majority of Americans dissaproved of; he voted against cloture on Alito (the only vote that counted) then bragged about having voted against Alito when by then his vote was meaningless; he had the nerve to tell the Democrats to shut up and fall in line behind Bush, he practically rolled over and played dead in his VP debates with Cheney... and it goes on and on.
And I'll tell you what. The Democrats didn't appreciate any of it, and they made their feelings known on Tuesday.
And that's democracy for ya.
It is something else to watch some of you right wingers on this BBS try and say what is best for the Democratic party. As if you know or care. And you were joined in your support for Lieberman by Hannity, Malkin, Coulter, Rove....
Thanks for the thoughtful advice, but no thanks.
90% of the Democratic party is against this war. 60% of Americans are against this war. That means that only somewhere between 30%-40% approve of it. Guess what? That's exactly where Bush's approval ratings sit. Those are frightening numbers for Republicans - and if you don't think that the dissaproval is now firmly a mainstream sentiment, and if you don't think it's a perfectly viable campaign issue, then I think that you're off of your rocker and need to get some perspective on it outside of blaming Moore.
Specifically wrt to CT, when 90% of Democrats including Lamont are against the war, but Lieberman is for it - what did you expect?
And to tie this to Moore? That's insane.... Defies logic.
