And By the Way, Joe Lieberman Lost Last Night- Page 3

But Mr. Lieberman has every reason to believe he can win in November if he stays in the race. His margin of defeat Tuesday was less than four percentage points, suggesting that many Democrats still support him. The GOP candidate has no chance of winning, so most Republican voters will also swing to his side as the choice becomes clearer. Most of all, Mr. Lieberman knows the consequences for U.S. security if the Lamont Democrats prevail. A Senator Lieberman would prod the Bush Administration for a strategy to win in Iraq; a Senator Lamont would cut and run and hope for the best.

Every time you say "cut and run" you look like a babbling idiot.

Oh no, MoonBat-Man, he's name calling again.

Right, Robin: it's too much work for those liberals to refute anything point by point.

"A Senator Lieberman would prod the Bush Administration for a strategy to win in Iraq;"

Why do you think after three years, the Bush Administration would suddenly come up with a strategy to win in Iraq, when they've come up with nothing in all this time?

Chami, why don't YOU go sit with the US military members who are being asked to babysit a civil war? Oh, that's right, you have BROADWAY SHOWS you need to see.

You're so supercilious, Chanticleer. Who CARES what you have to say about an election in Connecticut? You must absolutely be panicked that it DOES signal a sea change in the country. What else could possibly motivate you to put on this faux concern for Lieberman, whom you call the ultimate liberal out of one side of your ass and whom you seem to hope like hell he gets back in the Senate with the other?

Hardline communist Tip O'Neil once famously said that all politics are local politics. The people who voted in the CT Democratic primary are sick of Bush, sick of his adminstration's lies and corruption, they're sick of the quagmire he created in Iraq when he should have been going after Osama Bin Laden, they're angry, and they exercised their Constitutional right to say so in the voting booth.

Watching you feel obligated to parrot back the Tony Snow-approved spin control is sort of sad. Because no one is listening to you here. Not even the board Republicans. How sad and alone you must feel. Like being on your blahhhhhg, the land of 0 Comments.

And of course the White House is going to go back to the same old trope that the country is "safer" with Republican control, even though our military is overstretched and broken, the government on the homefront is incapable of handling a hurricane, and they're going to try to fade Iraq out and Iran in. Unable to finish this war, they'll start a new one. THAT'LL definitely make people feel safer. And it's your favorite extremist talk radio host Rushy Druggie Limbaugh who's leading that charge: "The problem isn't Iraq it's Iran. The problem isn't Iraq it's Iran. The problem isn't Iraq it's Iran."

Oh, no. That's crushing. Did Old Tip really say that?

It's so singular of you to bring that up.

Matt Lauer: Let me go back to that line in your speech last night. I'll paraphrase it if you don't mind. You said, for the sake of your state, your country and my party, you will not let these results stand. It's a nice line in the speech, but the fact of the matter is there are a lot of Democrats who think that now going forward you are putting your own personal ambitions above the good of the party. How do you respond to that?

Joe Lieberman: Well, I think it's time for somebody to break through the dominance of both parties by the margins of the parties, which happens in primaries. I think it's time for somebody to break through and say, Hey, let's cut out the partisan nonsense. Yes, I'm a proud Democrat, but I'm more devoted to my state and my country than I am to my party. And the parties today are getting in the way of our government doing for our people what they need their government to do.

If you care to make a point that's accurate, I'll refute it. But id you keep on creating straw-man accusations that have no basis in reality, there are no points to argue.

Go point by point on these:

* The Bush administration lied about the reasons to go to war.

* The Bush administration squandered the post-9/11 goodwill and sympathy of the world to fight an illegal and immoral war instead of uniting the nations to eradicate terrorism.

* The Bush administration authorized torture and domestic spying.

* The Bush administration violated the Geneva Conventions.

* The Bush administration ignored the advice of the intelligence agencies.

* The Bush administration outed a covert CIA agent for partisan political revenge.

* The Bush administration depleted military resources.

* The Bush administration underequipped the armed forces.

* The Bush administration increased the amount and virulence of anti-American hatred worldwide.

PalJoey, there isn't going to be specific refutations previously published on his blahhhhhg that he can highlight and transfer over here. There's more cut and pasting going on with Chanticleer than in a kindergarten arts and crafts class.

ETA there's one thing missing in the way Changi does papa's headline trick. He has no sense of humor.

While asking for an answer to his point and refusing to answer yours??

Yes!

Well, it sounds like Jack Murtha.

Would he post on BWW, MoonBat Man?

If I were Mr. Lieberman's campaign manager I'd take heart from Mr. Lamont's victory speech on Tuesday night. At one point he seemed to catch himself, stop himself from going down one rhetorical route and go down another. But he didn't do it like a pro. He did it like someone who all of a sudden remembered some political advice someone whispered in his ear. He was talking about what seemed to be a voter he'd met on the trail, and you could tell he was going to paint her frustration and despair. Then he remembered he was supposed to come across not as aggrieved but as triumphant and hopeful, so he pulled himself off the anecdote and wandered down some safer route of banality.

He was standing there with confetti glittering distractedly on his hair, and on the shoulders of his dark suit--he and his people are new enough in politics that there's no one around him yet to brush the confetti off and say, "It looks like dandruff." He looked as shocked as anyone that he was the Democratic nominee for senator from Connecticut. He looked like what Dick Morris, who said he'd once had Mr. Lamont as a client, said of him in his column the next day: a "rich, light-weight dilettante" who inherited the fortune of J.P. Morgan's partner. Mr. Lamont does have the soft, startled look of the inheritor of huge wealth. And we'll certainly be hearing more about that.

Does he even realize he's replying to his own posts? And none of them string together. It's like a new idea pops into his head and he thinks, oh, I'll cut THIS paragraphy from my blahhhhg and paste it here now and that will really... really what exactly?

Do in the growing number of people he continues to alienate on BWW with each passing day? It's hard to see what his benefit analysis tells him.
