The Brownshirts won by about 10,000 votes. I expected a much closer race, even a slight Lieberman victory.

I hope Lieberman really runs as an Independent in the fall. The man deserves better than the slander and anti-semitic hatred and website hacking that his campaigned received from the new “owners” of the Democratic Party.

Kos, DU, moveon, Soros, and so forth, will, no doubt, claim this to be the “wave of the future.” No doubt we’ll be seeing them sing this tune (or one like it):

Oh Fatherland, Fatherland,
Show us the sign
Your children have waited to see.
The morning will come
When the world is mine.
Tomorrow belongs to me!

[Cabaret, "Tomorrow belongs to me, Reprise"]

Well, 150,000 DEMOCRATS voting “Brownshirt” in Connecticut, do not a nation represent, nor a trend make.

If nothing else, this sure has been great in dividing, and defining democrats across America.

Sorta related to Spending way too much time on this I finally broke down and took a coupla my bedtime happy pills the nice man at the VA gives me and disappeared for about 14 hours. Guess I musta needed…

Also, in regard to problems at the polls, they’ll figure out SOME way to blame it on Rove.

Either outcome is a win-win for Karl Rove, who will have good reasons for champagne tonight.

If Mr. Lieberman wins, decency and the sane Democratic wing wins a little. The fight so far, and after, will still benefit Karl Rove and the nuts will camp out and throw a tantrum with Lopez Obrador. Democracy is only when “we win” and “we will recount until we do”!

If Mr. Lieberman loses by a few points tonight, he has great chances of winning in Nov. since even the Republican cadidate might give his support to him.

If the nuts win, I’d hire Mr. Lieberman into the Bush Admin. as a prominent foreign advisor for the Middle East and give him a loud mic to undermine his party’s “supporters”, for 2006 and 2008. Just thinking…

Ms. Cynthia McKinney will join Marion Berry, after tonight, and smoke something, while contemplating a ‘come-back’.

Go Joe!

Lamont is defined by his supporters.

Further, these Brownshirts have given the Republicans a political weapon of mass destruction (i.e., the behavior of the “nutroots”) to use against the Democratic Party, if they are smart and capable enough to use it.

Davis writes:

Moreover, the support he [Lamont] gets from these haters should not be attributed to Mr. Lamont–nor should he be blamed for their extremism, bigotry and intolerance. But he ought to denounce them. He hasn’t as yet.

Davis is wrong. Lamont is “one” with the Brownshirt Class of 2006. He is actively accepting their support.

Davis also writes:

Mr. Lamont and all other liberal Democrats should remember the McCarthy era and not fall into the trap of the hypocrisy of the double standard

Too late.

Lamont is definedpolitical weapon of mass destruction (i.e., the behavior of the “nutroots”) to use against the Democratic Party, if they are smart and capable enough to use it.

At a birthday bash for a friend, I had the opportunity to see BDS and Bush-hate up close, including foul-mouth descriptions of Bush and the Republicans, and the raw hatred they hold against Republicans. Rather than cause a scene or incite violence, I simply took notes while watching multiple “minute of hate” exercises run their course.

I now think that Lieberman might win after all, because I believe that moderate America will reject the Brownshirt Class of 2006. I believe that they will be either upset or alarmed at the degree of hatred the BDS and haters carry in their hearts and that they will recoil in disgust the minute they discover that the Democratic Party is run by these people.

It now becomes the business of the Republican Party leadership to insure that this connection be made.

I’m with Dave S. except with Lamont by a tiny amount. That way we get to laugh at the nutroots indignantly saying “how dare you question the results of this election!”

I dunno. I know Joe is a lefty, but I think he has more class than that. If he loses, he won’t push a blatantly unfounded recount.

Sen. Lieberman’s campaign manager Sean Smith was just on FOX News to talk about the website troubles that have plagued the Lieberman campaign since yesterday morning and, according to Smith, the Lieberman campaign is taking this very seriously: t…

Children of the Cornhole

You’re killing me!

Of course, I’m keeping a close eye on the primaries around the country, but almost to the exclusion of all else, I’m going to be REALLY watching the McKinney/Johnson primary in the 4th District of Georgia, and, of course, the Lieberman/Lamont Senate …

Joe Lieberman cries foul. John at Verum Serum smells a rat. Howard Mortman is tracking “Joebituaries.” Real Clear Politics has all the latest…….

If Ned Freshmaker wins, perhaps, just perhaps the people might come to their senses and realizes the Democrat party is dead, and it speaks about diversity and tolerance but refuses to practice it. Their bigotry will be exposed, the political bigotry highlighted especially since they want Lieberman out because they think he sucks up to Bush because of Lieberman’s agreement on the War on Terror. They will express, “You must be like us lock-step or else you’re the enemy and you must go!” Sort-of like what Cynthia “I should get away with punching the Police because I’m ‘a female black congresswoman’” McKinney said of her opponent Hank Johnson during her debates.

I can’t say I believe the people might wake up though… Remember how close the 2004 Presidential elections were? And the fits and Anti-Bush campaigns afterward? All the (failed) attempts to impeach Bush? I wonder how many today believe “Bush lied, people died.” hype many try to put out there in the United States…

So, I can’t say for sure if it’ll be a win-win situation for us no matter who wins… I think the election’ll be too close to call, but my hope is–in spite of all the spin-masters–that Liberman would win. If he does, then there’s hope for today’s Democratic party.

Scary thing is they wouldn’t see the irony.

Which begs the inevitable question. If there are problems voting in a Democrat primary, how do Republicans get blamed?

Discuss.
