The DNC is WRONG.

[ROC]

Aside from being the DNC Chairman?  Probably not much.

Do you live in Connecticut???  Because I do, and this is not a good thing...Now Ned Lamont actually has a shot at winning...I dont think he will win, but you have to be a realist, and admit he does have the opportunity of a life time...

but anyways...sandman, im sorry but I disagree...Argueably the most extreme liberal would-be-senator, with zero political experience is NOT a good thing for Connecticut, or her people

Lamont won his nomination 52-46....That is by no mean's a mandate of the people, and since this race has come down to a single issue; war...Does that mean 46% of Connecticut democrats support the war?

Really... you would prefer that the Republicans and Democrats continue their stranglehold on our political process?

I am not sure if this will change that. Even if Joe gets re-elected, he's really still a Democrat for all intents and purposes. Of course, as I said earlier, the question is what will it do to the party.

Hell just look at the 8 years of Clinton...


Oklahoma City
World Trade Center 1
Somalia
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia-  US Military HQ
Dharan, Saudi Arabia-  US Military Barracks
East Africa-  Embassy bombings
USS Kole
Bosnia and Kosovo...

No, life wasn't so peachy

I think Lieberman will still continue to inherintly vote democratic for the most part...All the democratic party has done is shown their true color's for the world to see, and lost Lieberman's guranteed party line vote when needed...

The only experience needed to be a career political hack like Lubeaderm, is frontal lobe & genital removal. Plus he looks like a mummy.

What happened to a govt of 'the people', do regular Americans act & talk like these nimrods in Washington? when is the last time Lubeaderm paid a parking ticket, register his car or had to actually deal with the Govt he helped create? when is the last time he had to shop at the market or the last time he spent a day as a regular American... the people he's supposed to relate to?

He is the problem, nice and cumfy in his hack job, far removed from the daily life of the average American... he's been a robot so long he cant even see he's a robot.

What I find really sad is that this Ned dude is obviously a party hack, and clearly a fk'n loon for appearing with assclowns like Jesse Jackoff and Al Sharpton... seriously here, WTF is going on in the USA when two total losers like these are the only choices?... maybe because anyone with enough intestinal fortitude and integrity to do whats best for the USA, not for their party backers, is too broke to compete with the "ruling class".

I dont live there, ergo could really care less.. looks like you, like most everyone else, will 'lose' no matter who 'wins'... but I do love to see fat dumb and happy career hack mummies get shown the door.

sandie... there is no alternative except republicans.

I know you would like to see a libertarian get in but that is not gonna happen in our lifetimes.

There is no democrat who won't do democrat things once he is in... just like there is no republican who won't do republican things once they are in.

The best we can hope for is the judical branch... that is the real good thing about the republicans... that and the fact that they are more beholding to the second amendment crowd and believe in god given rights.

Bush put in two good supreme court justices and a bunch of other judges and john bolton in the UN.   That is enough to make me voting for him the right thing to do.  

The republicans are walking toward socialism but the democrats are running toward it.    A libertarian with any sense has to see that the greater evil is the democrat.
