Schlesinger, kind of a shame

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Yup.. that's the kind of guy we should have supported for Senate.

He was better than the vile, murderous, bloodthirsty, warmongering piece of human trash who you actually did elect.

Connecticut elected Joseph Lieberman, actually, not Adolf Hitler.

You put what I was thinking into a great comeback, thank you!

I was very impressed by Schlesinger in the debates too. He certainly performed the best out of the three.

There was a backlash against Lamont b/c people felt he was buying the seat with his own money.

Schlessinger was abandoned because Republicans here are so moderate that they have no party loyalty. All the Republicans (and libertarians) I know voted for Lieberman. The War was not the main issue for everyone, which helped Joe.

Yah, we don't usually have party loyalty much.  : )

  When I voted for Joe, my vote had nothing to do with the war. Like many republicans in Fairfield County, we are fiscally conservative, and socially moderate/liberal.  When I looked at all the info, I agreed more with Joe than I did Ned or Alan, and a great deal of republicans and independents felt the same way.

Nothing wrong with voting based on your views!

Because generally Lieberman is closer to the GOP than he is the the Democratic Party.  So it makes perfect sense that you (and the rest of the GOP Far right and faux-moderate alike) supported Joe Lieberman.

He has the right to vote for whoever shares his views (or is closest to his views) just as we all do.

You dont have to be Hitler to be a murderous bloodthirsty warmongering piece of human trash.

And yes Liebergoon is a warmongering piece of human trash.

Name one way he is what you called him, and don't name the Iraq war because disagreement does not equal treason (contrarey to what you and several of my classmates think).  BTW, I oppose the Iraq war so don't try to turn it into a debate on that issue.

 So, does it make perfect sense that I was a supporter of Chris Dodd in 2004 as well?

 I don't see why people have a problem with others voting for whoever they want. In 2006, I voted for more democrats than I did republicans.

 Heres a short list of who I voted for.

Rep. Chris Shays (R)
Sen. Joe Lieberman (I)
Gov. Jodi Rell (R)
state Sen. Bob Duff (D)
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal (D)
and I voted all other statewide offices democrat except for Comptroller.

 It's not us who are the problem, it's the people who are so one sided, that they will always vote for their parties candidate, regardless of the candidate.

 Let me ask you this, If Joe had won the 2006 primary, who would you have voted for. Joe or Alan?

I agree! On both sides there are too many people who confuse harmless dissent with treason and simple disagreement with pure evil.  It is really sad.  If I could vote in 2006, I would've voted for all the democrats on MY ballot with one execption (a judge who though not indicted is clearly guilty of ethics violations).  My two best friends (if they could vote) would've voted stright ticket Republican because they support Republicans, so we just don't talk about politics.  That is one of the great things about America!  Where else can a liberal Jew (me) and a Conservitive Southern Baptist (one of my two best friends) have almost opposite political views on politics and still be such close friends?   BTW, never have I met a Southern Baptist who believed that there was anything wrong with gays, Jews, Agnostics, etc, because they believe God loves everyone (as does my friend).  Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell have created a false stareotype and whenever we meet a Southern Baptist we jump on the slightest trace of that starotype.

Notice the silence by "Progress".

Treason?  Don't get me wrong I think Lieberman doesn't have any loyalty to the US.  I think his loyalty is to Israel not the US which would explain his unwaivering loyalty to the war against Iraq as a means to destabalize the middle east and provide security to Israel.  If the Sunnis and Shia are fighting each other they cant be nuking Israel...

Anyway I'd call him a warmongering piece of trash because of Iraq but he is a horrible human being on top of that because of his advocacy of torture, and his generally lieing ways as he is probably one of the least honest politicians in Connecticut.

That's nice, now try to think of a serious argument.

Yeah....

Yeah, you really should!
