My message was meant as a joke, although I’m told it didn’t come off as it should have. Apologies, but really, the “Steven”s should be changed. Thanks.

As a Stephen, I can honestly say that if I were Stephen Colbert, I would ignore the fuck out of your message.

Lesson 1: “Stephen” is not “Steven.”
Lesson 2: Writing to a person named “Stephen” and addressing him as “Steven” is sure to piss him off, because
Lesson 3: “Stephen” is the correct way to spell it. Those of us who are so privileged to have been born with this spelling are not terribly happy when people who should know better (um, you spelled it right twice and spelled it wrong twice) fuck it up.
Lesson 4: Thank you, and please fix the fuck out of your message.

–Steve, short for Stephen

Wow, calm down Stephanie.

I would say:

A focus on Peace rather than aggression.

A living wage for every human on Earth.

Access to affordable health care for every human on Earth.

A world where the indigent are as revered as much as the extremely wealthy.

An ability to feel as much as to think.

An inclination toward compassion as well as an aversion toward greed.

A politician with allegiances to the benefit of the people rather than to special interests.

My feeling is that the current congress is almost devoid of anyone who is a true “progressive.”

This is the kind of thing that will appeal to Independents in Connecticut. These folks are unaffiliated for a reason and they are discerning voters. I really don’t think they are going to vote for the same old same old this November.

Like I said, Lieberman is stubborn and deluded and, unfortunately, he is taking us along for the ride.
