3. With Democracy lovers like LIEberman, who needs them?

I think that was your point and a poetic way to express it. Thanks for that.

[dorktv]

2. I am sure something else will happen that will make us argue...we ARE

Democrats after all.

*edited spelling*

[rpannier]

4. Lieber...who???

Oh...you mean the candidate from the Incumbant Party. The man who lost the Dem primary vote and needed only about 6000 votes to get on the ballot. That Joe LieBerman.

[Crunchy Frog]

5. Thank God!

I'm ready with the alert button. :D

[Douglas Carpenter]

6. indeed that's the rules

"You are not permitted to use this message board to work for the defeat of the Democratic Party nominee for any political office. If you wish to work for the defeat of any Democratic candidate in any General Election, then you are welcome to use someone else's bandwidth on some other website.

Democratic Underground may not be used for political, partisan, or advocacy activity by supporters of any political party or candidate other than the Democratic Party or Democratic candidates. Supporters of certain other political parties may use Democratic Underground for limited partisan activities in political races where there is no Democratic Party candidate. "

7. How strange..

.. because I didn't think anyone here -was- advocating for Lieberman.

Or else they got drowned out by all the ones who saw him for what he was and still do.

I wonder what Schlesinger the R is like. He might win because of what ugly loser Joe
will be doing. Is Schlesinger decent?

Sue

[Solon]

9. The only thing that is sure about this election is that...

Schlesinger doesn't have a chance in hell of winning, this is assuming he actually can get himself out of a casino to campaign in the first place. Decent my ass!

[Crunchy Frog]

28. Oh, Lieberman has had his advocates here alright.

I'm hoping that the mods will take the enforcement of this rule seriously.

[The Count]

8. MSM surely does. MSNBC: "Can he win? Suuure he can!"

I noticed lamont's victory speech didn't make it beyond C-Span!

[cascadiance]

14. I got a CNN Breaking News alert on McKinney but not Lamont last night

Hmmm... I wonder why.

The sleeper has awakened!



Muadib! Muadib!

[Lerkfish]

23. actually, Mua'dib

you forgot the apostrophe. LOL just joshing you.

[krkaufman]

16. Ha! Yeah, I can see it now. The MSM will frame Lieberman ...

... an 18 year veteran of the Senate ... as the outsider and underdog. Almost funny.

[Cha]

18. The fascist media is

next! The Bloggers are coming!

[Totally Committed]

10. How SWEET it is!

DU will be wonderful from now 'til November. By then, hopefully, NO ONE will want to talk about Lieberman, as he returns to private life.

TC

[Lerkfish]

11. ahh.. that explains the cricket noise from the usual DLC suspects.

I was wondering about that.

[Fluffdaddy]

12. What do you mean by that?

[Solon]

13. Just the usual suspects...

Only a couple of posters on this board, not necessarily you, at least some DLCers are principled.

[Fluffdaddy]

15. I was ok with Joe as long as he was running as a dem. Now he's dead

too me Politically. And I'm sure most DLC'ers feel the same way.

[Lerkfish]

20. I'm referring to specific members I cannot name who

admonished us that we needed to hold our nose and vote for Joe if he won the primary, which was a strawman argument because no one said they wouldn't. I just find those particular member's absence in the discussion interesting.
I'm not allowed to call out specific members. I apologize if that restriction makes my statements seem overbroad.

[Solon]

21. Its always OK to support your candidate in a primary...

as you did. Just glad you a principled enough to support the winner in the general, some here probably aren't as principled as you, unfortunately. I usually stay out of primary fights in general, during the Presidential primaries back in 2004, I refused to tell people who I supported. The most I usually did was slam people for saying stupid shit occasionally.

Actually, I do that quite a bit, generally I try to only criticize politicians based on something they say or do. For example, I slammed Dean for going on the 700 club, which I view as dumb, at the same time, I slammed Hillary for saying kids today don't work as hard as they did in the past(Same complaint Socrates made in his day), and I criticized Lieberman for his war stance and some first amendment stances he has made in the past and now.

[LincolnMcGrath]

19. Is this what you were hearing?

Click

[krkaufman]

17. Lieberation...!!! We're freeeee.....

(Just heard this on Tues night's Majority Report, and had to chuckle.)

[KKKarl is an idiot]

22. right on

[Zynx]

24. Ha! I was sick of hearing all their self-righteous nonsense about the

"people of CT". I don't give a damn what Republicans and independents want in CT. I care that we get a true Democratic Senator. I am not interested for a moment in compromising with the Republican Party.

[gulfcoastliberal]

25. Joe who?

;)

[mom cat]

27. I think his name was Loserman, or something like that.

[MoonRiver]

26. Hooray!

Lamont rocks! :kick:

[ShortnFiery]

29. OK BOSS!

I'm all about rules! :P

But seriously, Lamont's going to take it all the way ... and in November he'll win ;).

[CTLawGuy]

31. Somehow I think you'll be ok with this one

:)

[cascadiance]

30. When was the last time we had two "independent" senators...

Now that Sore Loserman is no longer a Democrat...

Hopefully in 2006, we'll only have one and that will be a new more progressive one that even many Dems are now.

[Crunchy Frog]

32. I hope that this is actually going to be enforced.

I've already alerted a couple of times. We'll see what happens.
