Don’t forget we’re also known as the “Nutmeg State” here in beautiful Connecticut.

As far as Sen. Lieberman goes…FUCK Jomentum! I’d much rather see Rep. Chris “John Malkovich-lookalike” Shays (thank you Jon Stewart) get some time in the national spotlight. Shays has been a fairly consistant voice of moderation during a time of crazed party-line rhetoric. This is a guy I can vote for; maybe he’ll throw his hat into the ring. He DID vote against Clinton’s impeachment, one of the five or so Republican Reps who broke party lines; just for THAT, I’d have to give the guy props.

And Weicker is MUCH too hated here in CT to be much of a force against Senator Mumbles. While I’d much admired the former maverick Republican senator, who was one of the first to go on record against Nixon’s silly antics, he did fool me into voting for him as an indy Governor candidate. Yes, he got us out of debt. But I also remember the late, great Ella Grasso running the state for YEARS with a surplus; couldn’t he have at least tried to make it work before slamming us with an income tax?

We’ve had this supposed “short-term” tax solution since. Why doesn’t that surprise me?

Connecticut is the Constitution State.

Yawn.

Joementum is a symptom of what’s wrong with the party today. I’d support an independent progressive running against this mealy-mouthed DINO any day.

Joe Lieberman is why I voted for Nader in 2000.

I love Weicker, but most Connecticutians dislike the man intensely because it was under his governorship that the State Income Tax was enacted. Never mind the fact that the State Income Tax got us out of the red and on the road to recovery, people love their money in CT. So I’m not sure it would really hurt Joe for Weicker to run against him.

Then again, maybe there are a lot of other Democrats out there who are like me, and are so tired of Joe and his slurpy service to the GOP.

I would not be at all surprised if, before sundown today, Holy Joe issued a public statement of support for DeLay and called for independent investigation of Earle just to “make sure there is no political angle” to the indictment.

Joementum. Noementum. If there were a Daddy DINO in Congress, Joementum would be their Daddy.

The word “Dinosaur” means “Terrible Lizard’. I’m thinking that “Dino” part sure fits ol’Joe “give’em cover “Lieberman to a tee. And well, on reflection, he is kind of a Lizard isn’t he?

Those Greeks, so smart and so foresighted, how could they have known?

Thanks. Truth is, though, I copped it from someone who once called Wisconsin the ‘Eat Cheese Or Die’ state.

Yeah that was a good one, Sonoma :)

‘Buy Insurance Or Die’ state

ba-zing!!!
they might need Lieberman insurance anyway

Straight on. If Weicker is at all concerned about raising sufficient campaign cash, he needn’t be.

Lieberman’s vault to prominence in 2000 may well have sealed his fate in 2006. The worst sort of whore, what would have proved a strictly in-house matter in Conneticutt will inevitably draw national attention, should a man of Weicker’s caliber announce a challenge to that pissant.

I would encourage anyone in the.. (what the hell is Conneticut’s state motto?) ‘Buy Insurance Or Die’ state to point that fact out to the former senator. Hell, I live in northern Ca., and stand prepared to contribute a few bucks to that just cause.

What would make it all the sweeter is that surely Lieberman has never anticipated the potential of such an orchestrated, online movement to unseat his treacherous ass. And by orchestrated, I simply mean the word going forth in greater blogdom.

It would be a beautiful thing to behold.

DITTO!!
