The REAL Lieberman Lesson....Please accept my apologize...

[98geoduck]

I volunteered for Ned's campaign on a real personal level. I lost two family members this year. My only sibling, my sister, died of melanoma at the age of 46, with no family history or background of cancer, leaving behind her two children at the ages of 15 and 18. My close cousin died of an artery blockage at the age of 47. And while my sister had health care by marrying a person with health insurance, my cousin did not. He was a carpenter, who lived paycheck to paycheck, and could not afford the enormous fees for self coverage. Instead, he went undiagnosed for his condition, since preventative health care wasn't an option, and was found lying dead on the ground by his father on a Sunday morning. Enough said about my personal vendetta with Joe Lieberman for his COMPLETE LACK OF SUPPORT FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE due to his influence of special interests which include Major Insurance Companies and the Pharmaceutical industry, as well as "belonging" to a state with one of the highest cancer rates in the nation and doing little about it. (don't drink the water and don't eat the fish)

So, here's my apologize for Democrats and Liberals that read my posts yesterday touting Ned's possible victory. I'm going to plagiarize from a person nicked sufi from http://www.myleftnutmeg.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=4525 because I share the same feelings about all of it, and by my own admissions, I'm not that eloquent of a writer...

I guess it hasn't sunk in yet--I guess I feel a bit stupid for not believing the polls. I kept telling fellow Lamont supporters not to be discouraged by the polls. I kept telling them that the polls are skewed because the people who respond are disproportionately older folk who mainly use landlines and also these polls did not include the opinions of over 80,000 new CT voters. I kept reminding them how Lieberman was down the polls just days before his victory over Lowell Weicker 18 yrs ago. I feel as though I gave them and myself some false hope and I feel bad about that."

Unlike Lieberman, I'll admit to my mistakes. Fortunately, mine didn't cause the deaths of thousands of innocent lives, both HERE and abroad. I'm hoping mine may have encouraged people, with conviction for TRUE Moral Values, to stop believing all the media hype, understand that Corporations SHOULD NOT dictate democracy, volunteer, and at the very least, get out and vote.

Polls, News "journalists", and pundits have been known to be wrong before. I'm Sorry for believing that they were, this time around...
