Cal Thomas in radio commentary today called us "Hezbollah Democrats". Meanwhile Lanni Davis was on Satan & Friends this morning blasting away at Lamont and the blogosphere.
These guys suck and it proves that the RNM - Republican Noise Machine is going to use this as momentum going into November just as much as we are.
To sum up my feelings, I'd just like to the essay by Michael Goodwin of the NY Daily News that perfectly exemplifies these dicks.
Win for the Wackadoo Wing
Leftward, march! The sucking sound you heard from Connecticut last night was the air going out of the war on terror. At least among many Democrats.
...
So now that the wackadoo wing of the party has a bloody scalp, what are they going to do with it? Wave it at Islamic terrorists in Iraq and Lebanon and Afghanistan and Indonesia and Great Britain and Spain and Israel and New York and declare peace? That will work for sure. They better also wear armor and duck.
Say what you want about Hilary, she had an excellent point in her showdown with Rummy. This is not 2003 or 2004. The name calling just isn't going to work right now. People aren't going with gut reactions and falling in line behind the Bush Troops. They're using their eyes and ears. They can see things aren't improving in Iraq and at this point it can't STILL be Bill Clinton's fault.
Lieberman is the first casualty of the war against the war on terror. If last night's results are a window on the party's tilt, then a huge slice of the Democratic party is ready to sit out the war to protect America. God help us if the Republicans also get the wobblies. Let's hope the Connecticut Condition isn't contagious. And let's hope last night's decision is overturned.
Lieberman's decision to stay in the race as an independent is the right one. Given the close margin, all the state's voters deserve a chance to have their say. Perhaps they will fix what the Democrats broke.
In other words, the people of Connecticut don't know what's good for them. But of course, Bush's wins in 2000 and 2004? Totally legit! Nothing broken here.
That many Americans are disgusted with events in Iraq is understandable. Nothing has gone as planned or promised, a point Lieberman made with some regularity. But wars never go easily, and thus are always unpopular at some point.
Even "good" wars have their bad moments, causing otherwise sensible people to look for the exits.
That is happening across our nation with Iraq, which, given the lousy intelligence on weapons of mass destruction, never was a "good" war. Yet Iraq, in all its hellishness, is important, even vital to regional stability and American security. Unplug America's commitment there, which is what the Lamont crowd is about, and how exactly does that help us? Will the terrorists suddenly stop attacking us and our allies?
Unbelievable. He basically makes the point that the blogosphere has been making for years, and then tries to defend it with the "fight them over there instead of over here."
And does the price of peace also require us to abandon Israel and the moderate Arab governments who are our allies in fighting the terrorists? Indeed, there was a surreal quality to the television news last night: Stations cutting away from the Israeli-Hezbollah war to update the election results, and vice versa. Too bad no one thought to link them as two parts of one story, which is what they are.
Again, unbelievable because he supports our point...and misses it! The breakdown in lebanon isn't Bush's fault (at least not directly) but it's proof positive that the Iraq War has "stabilized" only two things: Jack and Shit.
Congressional Democratic leaders recently demanded that Bush begin withdrawing our troops this year, regardless of events in Iraq.
This is fantasy. And that's what Lamont's victory is based on. That somehow we can pull out of Iraq, tell the terrorists they win - and we and our allies will not suffer any consequences. And if those Islamists misbehave, well, we'll just scoot back over there with our police force and arrest those naughty fellows.
And Mr. Goodwin, what plan does the Bush Admin have to stop the civil war, and also drive the Taliban and associated warlords who are BACK in Iraq, (and Somalia)?????
I believe that Islamic terrorists will stop at nothing in their mad quest to rule the globe. As a result, World War III has started, whether we like it or not. It will continue, whether we fight back or not. But if we think we can win by not fighting, then we're not just wrong. We're nuts. As in nutmeg.
And since we're in WWIII, Goodwin supports a draft, a rollback of the tax cuts, rationing of gasoline, and throughouly encourages his children, nephews, and nieces to join the army or marines.
These guys are just all screwed. The American people are not idiots. OK, let me rephrase that. A lot of them ARE in fact idiots. The fact that GWB could be voted for president twice, (even with all the trickery involved) proves that. The fact that American Idol is the number one show in America proves it too.
BUT -- except for the dumbest, currently corralled safely away in Utah and Idaho, you can't fool them forever. 2005 was the year people started waking up and realizing what a idiot this guy was. And they realize that Iraq is NOT going away anytime soon. We've basically adopted an entire country -- a country full of somewhat, er, obstinate religious types. 2500 dead and 16,000 wounded and no end in sight.
That's why Lamont Won. IDIOTS.
