Joe Lieberman: Republican voters may save him: The new American political "litmus test": Whether or not you really supported invading Iraq. Joe did, and it's going to send him into retirement:

Bye, Joe

We'll be waving goodbye to a lot more supporters of the Iraq fiasco in the near future.

I registered Democrat just to vote against the Hebrew Warmonger.

Go Lamont!

I think people with names like "Drew," or "Sid," or "Mike," or even "Rini," should run against Jewish Congresspeople, so you can have a slogan:

Vote for Drew, not the Jew!

Vote for Sid, not the Yid!

Vote for Mike, not the . . . you get the idea. ':lol:'

I don't appreciate false democrats (neocons in hiding) as much as the next person, however, Lamont supports Israel's latest actions against Hezbollah, something to keep in mind.

Please stop it foodnotlawns!

If somebody is a jew it doesn't mean you support Zionism or AIPAC or Israels policies! On the contrary, a majority of Jews in the US was against the Iraq war for example, proportionally much more than other ethnical groups!

You really have to separate "Israel" and "Jews" here, it's not the same thing! And within Israel there is opposition as well by the way...

If you don't differentiate you are just a plain antisemite, nothing less... (and god knows how much I hate calling the "A"-word...)

Well I hate digging into what the term neoconservative means and what its' origins are

Wikipedia has a good write up and analysis of where the term came from.

Free you are absolutely right this is not about Jews, they are not some monolithic group who are all of the same mind. It is about a certain political faction and the current nation of Israel.

I am not an anti-Semite nor will truck with those who are but of late I have been questioning more and more the undue political influence of those who unquestioningly support every action of the Israeli government, no matter what those individuals heritage or faith background might be.

By the way, why are the Germans still being collectively punished for the alleged crimes of the Third Reich? If collective guilt is good for the Germans, then it's good for the Hebrews, says I.

By the way, I'm not an anti-Semite, I'm anti-Jewish.

Well put foodnotlawns.

Only by preaching more hate and advocating the mass slaughter of a whole race will we ever be able to live in peace.

You my friend are nutters.

And congratulations your last post has guaranteed you a spot on my idiots to ignore list.

Returning to the original topic, I just want to say that losing Lieberman will be one of the best things to happen to the Democratic Party in a decade.

On the other hand, I was about to write Ned Lamont a check when I looked at his website and saw his statement of strong support for Israel's right to "defend itself as it sees fit."

I guess that kind of statement is part of the job description these days if you want to raise campaign contributions. But Lamont didn't get mine.

[Zardoz]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TommyJefferson', '.')..Hey, I wanna cop some of that for Texans and southerners.

Kunstler and Peakoilers delight in stereotyping and ridiculing us.

[greenworm]

You know there are other candidates: Independent

I never vote for repocrats, only because they don't usually have my best interests at heart. This guy at least wants to redistribute the tax burden away from workers to the corporations as their slice of the burden becomes less and less every year. I don't know his views on the Lebanon/Israel conflict, but I am sure you can find out if ya ask him.

[Free]

The curse of the kiss...

[Zardoz]

He's gone

[foodnotlawns]

No, he's going to run as an independent and make it a three way, and probably will win another term as a Senator, albeit in a dirty way.

Speaking of dirty ways, did anyone see in the news that some of Lamont's supporters got run over? Some old guy drove his car into a group of people some of whom were actually working on Lamont's campaign. Must have been the folks behind the Lieberman face morphing into Bush face commercial.
