It feels very North Hollywood to me.

I just watched that Lieberman sunset ad. I wish I hadn’t – it made my skin crawl.

We’ve been having lots of fun on the last thread over this ad. Wish I could just scoop up them comments and repost them here!

Jack Handey! Deep Thoughts! (SNL)

There were some great comments apparently posted on YouTube but then deleted. ConnecticutBlog copied some before the deletion…

“Did Tom Swan create this ad or is the Lieberman campaign trying to look foolish on purpose?”

“A sunset is the perfect way to illustrate what happened to Liebermn when he LOST the primary. Bonus points for the feeling of solitude…like Joe Lieberman is all by himself. Double bonus points for waves invoking the idea that Lieberman is washed up.”

“A setting sun… the perfect image for a career that’s about to end.”

“This is a laxative commercial right?”

“Plus, bonus points for indirectly attacking your opponent in an ad that whines about negative attack ads.”

You sound like you speak from experience, Jane.

Isn’t there a drink called “Sex On The Beach With Joe Lieberman”?

I believe it’s made with vodka, peach schnappes, cranberry juice, grapefruit juice, cod liver oil, and buttermilk.

siun had this on the last thread at 78:

Lamont campaign statement on Joe ad:

Is the sunset in Joe’s new ad a fitting metaphor for the the end of his Senate career? Like the rest of the information coming out of his campaign it is full of distortions and lies.

FACT-CHECK
“Joe Lieberman thought you might enjoy a break from Ned Lamont’s negative attacks…”
But Joe Lieberman has repeatedly attacked Ned Lamont.

His campaign commercials have unfairly called Ned Lamont a flip-flopper and criticized him for keeping his family’s tax returns private – even after he released his 2005 returns. Lieberman even lied about Lamont cutting education spending as a Town Selectman. (Lieberman for Senate: “Meet Ned Lamont;” “Flip-Flop”)

“So just sit back, and think about … good stuff. Like Senator Lieberman saving jobs …”
But Joe Lieberman has been a strong supporter of President Bush’s free trade policies, which have endangered and ultimately cost Connecticut families thousands of jobs. He has consistently supported free trade agreements negotiated by the Bush administration. (Andean Free Trade: HR 3009, Senate Vote 130, 5/23/02; CAFTA: HR 3045, Senate Vote 209, 7/28/05)

In addition, Lieberman voted for NAFTA, which led to more than 12,000 jobs lost in Connecticut. (Senate Vote 395, 11/20/93; Connecticut AFL-CIO)

Since Lieberman took office, in 1988, Connecticut has lost nearly half of its manufacturing jobs (from 372,300 in 1988 to 194,400 in 2005), and nearly half of its defense-related jobs (from 96,200 in `1988 to 52,300 in 2002). (Sources: Connecticut Economic Digest, July 1996, June 2006, and February 2005)

“improving health care …”
But Joe Lieberman opposed President Clinton’s health care reforms in 1994. (Hartford Courant, 9/23/94)

Lieberman also voted against increasing funding for the National Institutes of Health by $1.1 billion. (S Con Res 27, Senate Vote 91, 5/23/97)

In addition, he has never fought for Universal Health coverage. There are currently 46 million uninsured Americans, 1 in 9 CT residents lacks coverage, and CT workers’ premiums have risen 4 times as fast as wages since 2000. If this is improving … (Sources: US Census Bureau and Connecticut Health Policy Project)

“and keeping us safe.”
But Joe Lieberman has blindly followed President Bush on Iraq, which has made the country less safe. Less than two weeks ago, a group of 21 former generals, diplomats and national security officials released an open letter arguing that the Bush administration’s “hard line” has actually undermined U.S. security. (Los Angeles Times, 8/16/06)

Paid for by Ned Lamont for Senate, John Hartwell, Treasurer

Well done!

‘Joe Lieberman thought he might like a break from reality biting him on his wrinkled ass…So just shut up and think about good stuff…Like 18 years on the public tit coming to a screeching halt…Whoops!…I mean, like a public reputation as a rank Republican teabagger worn like a toilet seat around one’s neck for all eternity…Oh Oh!…Dan!

Like OJS said, just go back and read the thread. It’s a short one.

I half expected to see Bob Dole walk by, talking about Viagra.

Darkblack, you raise an interesting point: Has Joey ever held down a real job? Maybe that’s why he’s so terrified.

I am seeing it fine, but evidently some changes have just been implemented by WP, which are also giving the stage hands fits. Maybe it’s a browser issue for your problem?

oh and that nice scene with the sunset and the tranquil waters could also be viewed in terms of the gulf coast and Katrina.

Michael Attaboy Brown confirmed with the greasing the skid abilities of the Joe-kster, no questions asked.

Jane, why in the world do you think this is an oily ad?

Doesn’t bother me a bit.

Joe, ignore Ms. Hamsher. She is just trying to undercut you. Spend your money on persuasive ads like this, Joe! Go! Go!

I am sure that you can win lots of votes by saying nothing and saying that your opponent is negative, while providing positive images.

This ad provides thousands (of dollars) of reasons to vote for, uh, who is it for? Oh, yeah, the guy at the end of the ad.

and the reasons are, uh, wait-a-minute, I know, uh, wait, wait, I’ll get it, uh . . . . . . . . . . . .

(Spend it, Joe!)

Oh, and put it on your website.

Oh, forgot. 20 days after the election, the website still says:

Welcome to Joe2006.com! We’ll be re-launching our full website soon to bring you the latest news and updates from the campaign.

I hope you’re spending a bit on that great website also.

(Are the tubes still blocked?)

VG – re last thread, banana hammock – don’t miss darkblack’s second image above – on second thought, you might want to refrain….

Reminds me of all those sci-fi flicks where the sing-song voice lulls the masses into mindless complacency. Did you say you needed a shower, J? How about more like a full on pumice scrub down and a carwash rinse!

puking

Since I have never had a creepy old perv put his hand down my shirt, I can’t really relate. It isn’t likely to happen either as I’m 6′4″, 225,…, well you get da foto.

This advert, from a pervert,
Is creepy, that’s certs.

I hope he keeps making adverts this bad.

By the way, does that Tantra stuff work with you chicks? :) I saw an English Tantra dictionary the other day. I could learn a foreign language…

As a pony-tailed (but not gray-haired) Tantric practitioner and writer on the subject (who prefers the New York Dolls and The Clash to any of that New Age garbage), I take umbrage at the reference. But you’re right about the bear ad. This is pathetic.

1,256 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Joe Likuderman doesn’t need viagra, all he hasta do is wiggle his ears and he tickles his prostate.

KEEP THE FAITH AND DON’T WORRY ABOUT JOE, HE’S OUR BEST ENEMY!!!

this Stalinist Moderator just turned 65 a coupla days ago so tread easy on the ‘old geezer’ cracks — mmkay?

last week somebody compared me to Lavrentii Beria — I was so impressed with his knowledge of history! and then I deleted him …

If I were a CT voter, I would totally vote for Joe out of gratitude for providing me with such pretty sunset pictures.

I been hype-mo-tized

listen closely to the audio in that ad and you can almost hear the subliminal message

relax
close your eyes
you are getting sleepy
very very sleepy
on the count of three
you will be asleep
one

now listen to my words
forget reality
ignore the war
Ned Lamont is a bad person
on nov 7th you must go to the polls
and vote for Joe Lieberman
now on the count of three
you will wake up

I’m joe lieberman and I approve this message

omg you guys are killing me. at a client’s and can’t watch the YouT.

definitely headed home soon for the hi-speed.

are we sure Swanny’s not just messing with our heads??

Jane,

This post made me laugh out loud …. well, more of a snort out loud really.

Years ago, a friend of mine was taking Hakomi massage instruction. This included quite a bit of the new age music and a few older men who were overly eager to “connect” with my friend.

On hearing her stories about a couple of these guys, my husband created a new phrase for the act of these guys making a move on my friend …… as the “Hakomi Hustle”.

In our circle, the Hakomi Hustle came to mean exactly what you are talking about in regard to this ad.

Great work! I am laughing and repulsed at the same time.

(of course I do not mean to disparage practitioners of Hakomi massage)

I think *ilson ought to grab the UTube link for this and put it on his beautiful websites.

A little commentary to go along would be helpful too.

xyz – great minds…

I see you posted some of the comments ConnecticutBlog took off of YouTube in the last thread.

Pretty funny stuff

punaise!!! you mean this one?

Is that Joe, or a Joe supporter?

Teddy, did you happen to ask Howie Kurtz a question yesterday? I saw one from SF that sounded a bit like you.

I really really really enjoyed this story. The rest at the link.

In the same manner in which microwave popcorn and hamburgers are sold to the gullible American public, here we had a diet of good and evil, black and white, right and wrong being touted to a population that relies heavily on the power of the box to mold their perception of the outside world. No matter how distorted, far removed from reality or totally untrue that junk food for the soul may be.

I sat amazed as I watched the developing Western-serialization of the conflict by Fox News. The scene was set with a star cast that included some familiar faces. The sheriff was beautifully played by Uncle George. His sidekick is the dapper and reasonable sounding Ehud Olmert. Auntie Condi looked immaculate as the iron maiden who would stand by her man come rain or shine (Tammy Wynette would have been so proud!). Tony Blair, desperately clambering for attention with his tap-dancing and other wonderfully effusive talents, is mostly relegated to the background, although he does make a memorable contribution by cozying up to his hero.

The Israeli public are the good law-abiding citizens of the world. The baddies are played by the raucous, uncouth elements of Hezbollah who do not wash behind their ears. The Lebanese population had a tiny bit part that you would have missed if you blinked.

The plot is marvelously simple.

Hezbollah is an incarnation of the same faceless evil organization that blew up the county saloon a few years ago. (They are part of a wider network of crazy weirdoes that are against law and order. This bunch of anti-decency felons includes Hamas, Al-Qaeda, the governments of Syria and Iran and the Iraqi insurgents. A bit hard for the average viewer to digest; so let’s just call them “the Indians”.) The good people of Israel, therefore, have the blessing of Uncle George to blow up the Lebanese.

I told you. Marvelously simple.

When John Dingell, a Democratic Congressman from Michigan, urged the US to seek a speedy conclusion to the war instead of taking sides he was vilified and labeled a “Hezbollah apologist” in the mainstream press. When Joe Lieberman was defeated in Connecticut it was seen as a largely anti-Semitic anti-Israeli protest. In fact, Dick Cheney ventured to proffer that his defeat would be seen as a victory for “Al-Qaeda types” who tried to undermine the will of the American people! Even the massacre in Qana was alleged to have been a hoax until it was the Israeli Army itself that took responsibility for the bombing.

Ewwww is a great title for Joe’s ad!

But a much bigger “EWWWWWW” is happening in the Eastern Mediterranean – the Beirut Oil Spill. I’ve been quite shocked at the total lack of interest in this major environmental catastrophe.

The only MSM outlet to have a credible reporter at the scene is the San Francisco Chronicle, which has assigned Christopher Allbritton to cover the progress of the spill and cleanup efforts. The Chronicle gave him a major space on page A-1 today:

(08-28) 04:00 PDT Beirut — The sand along the public beach in south Beirut is blackened and stained. The sea, normally a rich azure, is a noxious yellowish green. The water reeks of petroleum. All the fish are dead; there is not a single bird in the sky.

These are the scars of the Lebanese oil spill, triggered July 15 when Israeli jets bombed the power station at Jiyeh, 18 miles south of Beirut. Between 10,000 and 15,000 tons of heavy fuel oil spilled into the Mediterranean Sea and began flowing north. After six weeks, the slick has spread an estimated 90 miles north and now could threaten the coastal waters of Syria and Turkey.

And it’s getting worse.

Incompetent Hypnotists for Lieberman.

Maybe someone mentioned this upthread, but

What’s with the bloody red sun in the ad?! It certainly doesn’t make me think of security — makes me think of death, Iraq, and “Red sky, blood has been spilled tonight,” but mostly:

Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A.
Blood screams the pain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union
There’s blood in the streets, it’s up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, it’s up to my knee
Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise, it’s following me

I’m thinkin’, after the bear ad, the Loserman folks thought, “HA! nothing for the blogosphere to laugh at with this one!”

boy, were they wrong!

Isn’t there a drink called “Sex On The Beach With Joe Lieberman”?

I believe it’s made with vodka, peach schnappes, cranberry juice, grapefruit juice, cod liver oil, and buttermilk.

Now dat is funny!

Well, I guess Pam does, too, though perhaps it’s more accurate to say she decompensates.

DB, I have always loved that particular one — it puts malkin where she belongs (in a bunny suit).

For those who have been following the Wulsin campaign, she has her latest ad on YouTube also. Compare her ad to this piece of dreck by Lieberloser hehe.

A personal note to the Rover…

Dear Karl:

You don’t know me, but I once was a Republican, at least until I found out who Lee Atwater was. But as an old boss of mine used to say, that’s all (At)water under the dam.

Look, your best friends won’t tell you this – OK, you don’t have any friends – but look at what you’re asking your donor base to support here. Hadassah’s running the ad department, and this is what we’re getting: That 70’s Show without the ratings. This ain’t you, Karl!

Don’t be a chump, pull the plug and let Joe go off life support. You’ve got bigger fish to fry with Lincoln Cheney Chaffee just up the Sound. Tell Joe you’ve decided to [rhymes with Nantucket] and get ready to back the presidential nominee in 2008. (Trust me, you’ll like Rudy. He cross-dresses even better than Jeff. And he’ll bring Bernie if you still have that thing for baldies.)You really don’t need these small-timers.

Sincerely,

“Al”

Apparently Traitor Joe has another new ad out explaining why he is the “Unity” candidate for CT.

http://www.myleftnutmeg.com/sh…..ntId=15484

Personally, I find it highly suspect that Unity is a concept that is being circulated by BushCo – per Rummy’s recent speech…

“It seems that in some quarters there is more of a focus on dividing our country, than acting with unity against the gathering threats.”

BushCo will do whatever it takes to keep it’s favorite “Dem” in office – terror alerts, swiftboating, campaign specialists, Rep funding, more 1984 word twisting.

Eli– “I blame Gene Roddenberry for this tragic misunderstanding.”

Oh, pleeez, don’t give Joey any campaign ideas, Eli.

Send oxygen. I. Can’t. Stop. Laughing.

In the ad above, I was thinking maybe Joe should have put the “message” in a bottle.

And to continue repeating myself (and boring myself, and perhaps you, but most definitely myself) –

I keep making this point – and am going to keep making it, even if I bore myself: There obviously is a disconnect between TEAM LOSER’s and J-Lie’s perceptions of reality and the majority’s perception of reality: Iraq, Katrina, etc., etc. More importantly, there is a disconnect between TEAM LOSER’s and J-Lie’s perception of the public’s perception of TEAM LOSER’s and J-Lie’s reality.

They are not genuises, they never were; and very little of what they do or so these has either the meaning (i.e. in terms of perception) or effect (i.e. it will be positively perceived) that they think it does.

Ernesto went a different, weaker way and oil prices followed them down. This is an interesting point for oil prices since there is no particular reason to maintain the $70 level while the cooling US economy is one for prices to decline further.

Bush was just interviewed on NBC News. At one point, the anchor asks about Iraq. Bush says something like they attacked us. Anchor: but those weren’t Iraqis. Hems and haws, then they’re part of the GWOT. Anchor wastes the rest of his time asking stupid questions about Bush’s father and Camus. Hard to say which of the too was dumber.

I assume that there is a republican adman doing the ads for Joe, but couldn’t we send Al From over to help Joe out a bit? I don’t think he is doing anything these days other than appear on T.V. as a talking idoi… umm… personage.

POOR JOE…

The DSCC website now lists Connecticut as an open Senate seat!

http://www.tpmcafe.com/blog/el….._lieberman

The ad makes me, esp in humid Ohio Valley territory in August – think of a) global warming and b) those nuclear disaster movies, where on the red dawn of nuclear destruction, there are no humans in sight, but a voice cued up begins to give you the history of the cyborg wars or the Soviet cataclysm or whatever, leaving behind only the Mad Max crew.

He’s stooped to fucking bears in his ads? Well call ME Loretta too, cuz I would pay to see that.

In answer to the question you posit: The woman who turns a supposedly nonattack ad into one by accusing Ned Lamont of running attack ads (without specifics), is definitely not a oldage newage horndog thing. Some jejune little college boys might say it’s a bit of an existential thing, but not even close to newage. And the self-righteous, whingeing, old gasbag at the end was entirely sexless, and not even remotely newagey.

Sorry. I call them like I sees them.

Like it wasn’t bad enough already. I’ve got a raging virus (thanks Christy and Peanut)my guy is now in Orlando bracing for Ernesto and then I have to watch this shite. You’re doing a hellava job Jane. Please someone make it stop.

Gibson can’t do any work right right — he is participating in at home treatment for his addiction, um I meant his fun night out on the town.

One thing that is lame about this ad is that he didn’t even film a new bit of footage of him saying he approved it. Sounds like he even phoned in the approval. Is he even trying?

Is it a hoax?

AP Flashback:

When U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman recently posted a cartoon on his campaign Web site that took aim at his Democratic challenger Ned Lamont, the online world lit up.

One fast-thinking Lamont supporter quickly posted the ad _ which portrays the candidate as a baby bear being bullied into running for the Senate _ on the popular video-sharing Web site YouTube.

Soon, the 600 people registered to a Lamont YouTube group could create links to the ad on their own Web blogs.

“His angry and desperate ad was seen by 30,000 people,” said Tim Tagaris, Lamont’s director of Internet communications. “It can start small by one person noticing something. Within hours, it can be seen by 30,000 people, minimal.”

The ridiculous ad below has already been seen by 4,000 people in one hour. ~~

Clarification, as a person who has been addicted to prescription meds, I am not knocking treatment — been there, done that. But doing it at home, well they did not let me know I could have done it at home. :)

Earlier comments, also by Tim Tagaris:

http://nedlamont.com/blog/1269/creepiest-ad-ever

~~~Creepiest. Ad. Ever.

This is why Democrats lose campaigns, because the vast majority of our dollars are spent delivering this kind of content to voters. Enter, Connecticut for Lieberman Party candidate Joe Lieberman.

The ad itself is very telling on many fronts. First, Senator Lieberman’s campaign categorizes his YouTube videos under “people.” While a small thing, for sure, a fitting reminder that his Connecticut for Lieberman Party is about little more than himself.

But about the ad itself. It bemoans the “negative” ads from our campaign… How about Joe’s “Meet the Parents” attack ad against Ned. Or that stupid stupid stupid bear cub ad. Or the final radio ad of his Democratic campaign career? It’s laughable. They must believe the collective memory of Connecticut voters (and press) is around 3 weeks.

It really made my skin crawl a bit and I found myself hoping it would just end. Watching it gave me the same sensation I get while driving by a dead dog on the side of the highway. I gave me a creepy sad feeling and I just wanted to get through it.

But like any good friend that would turn to another and say, “taste this drink, it’s horrible!” I implore you to watch the ad.~~~

Why don’t you ever call me by my name?

*ilson,

Is Lavrentii Beria the plural of Lavrenti Beria? And, in that vein, does that mean the Soviets had the ability to clone people?

it’s all about the transliteration!

Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria (Georgian: ლავრენტი ბერია; Russian: Лаврентий Павлович Берия)

damn! I bet this is the first time Georgian script has been used at FDL !

Where’s Zell Miller when you need him?

But did the anchortwit see my play? An encore presentation (and I really should save my post b/c sometimes they might be topical – at least to the thread)

My Philosophical Dinners With George. Part I.

A Play. In One Act.

By Evil “Rushmore” Parallel Universe

Cast: “George”: George W. Bush; “Camus”: Albert Camus

Camus – I hear that you’ve read my book “L’Etranger.”
George – No, I read your book “The Stranger.”
Camus – “L’Etranger” is French for “The Stranger.”
George – You’re French? I wish’d I’d know’d that. How’bout we get some Freedom Fries? Can I call you Froggy? Heh, Heh, Heh. I’m a gen-yoo-ine cowboy from Texas. ‘Mercun. I’m not French, just so you know. Don’t want you getting any ideas.
Camus – Did you like the book?
George – What book. Whoo boy, she’s got a set on her. Did you see’um? Hey, heh, heh, heh, did you hear that one? No? Silent but deadly!
Camus – “The Stranger.”
George – Oh, THAT book. I don’t remember much about it, cause, you know, I read SOOOO many books. People don’t understand that underneath this Cowboy exterior I’m a real in-tell-lectual. But that don’t play in ‘Mercan politics, so I keep it quiet.
Camus – So you didn’t like the book.
George – I thought it was absurd. Between you and me, Karl told me to tell you that “I thought it was absurd.” Said you’d get a big laugh out of that.
Camus – He’s right. But did you like the book.
George – Between you and me, since I’m all for capital punishment, I was happy the guy was executed at the end, cause only weak kneed lib’ruls would have commuted the sentence.
Camus – So that is what you took out of the book?
George – Was there more?

The end.

Next Week: My Philosophical Dinner With George, Part II. George W. Bush and Martin Heidegger discuss: “What if Superman Was A Nazi Muslim.”

They are: Sens. Robert Byrd (D-WV), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Judd Gregg (R-NH), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Ted Stevens (R-AK), and Robert Bennett (R-UT).

“It seems that in some quarters there is more of a focus on dividing our country, than acting with unity against the gathering threats.”

BushCo will do whatever it takes to keep it’s favorite “Dem” in office – terror alerts, swiftboating, campaign specialists, Rep funding, more 1984 word twisting.

Ya that’s what kinda bothers me. If there aren’t enough real threats, or easily Faux propagandized pedophile communist gay stemcell shoebomber flying with mascara immigrant threats, they might decide to do it for real.

Watch for the late October “OOH SHINY” terrorist attack.

I trust that Senator Byrd’s unknown status has a good explanation …

Is Rummy just a bit- well- daft?

He’s telling the GOP base – or what remains of it – what it wants to hear in the hopes that it’ll vote in large numbers 70 days from now. As usual, reality has no place in his utterances.

Mommybrain – I can’t really get the rights to use either their names or their pictures for commercial purposes – something known as the “right of publicity” (better thought of as the right to commercialization). And it wouldn’t be fair use. If I were using it purely for political ends, then I could, but otherwise, no. That is what my expert tells me, and she is pretty smart.

BTW – do we know for sure it is just one Senator? Don’t they usually do things in *Gangs* in the Senate?

Election central at Josh’s place said that Lieberman is actually going to campaign with Jack Kemp. Hello Naral, wake up….

FWIW, Joe’s ad worked for me at DKos just now.

That ad might win him a Viagra spokesperson gig; watch out Bob Dole.

Where’s Zell Miller when you need him?

Just read an article where a Zell campaign visit with AR Gov wannabe Asa Hutchison was postponed due to competitive scheduling with Pres. Bush for Asa this week. AR Times has an APB out for a Republican who can scoop a photo.
A little curiosity floating around weather Zell was really cancelled (not postponed) since he wasn’t much help with Ralph Reed in GA.
Another AR update Sen Mark Pryor remains one out of five Dem. Senators who still support Lieberman Party of One!

Valley Girl 247,

I can’t hear you. He said busily digging himself in deeper.

I googled “donate to joe leiberman campaign” so I could send him some belly button lint and ended up with this:

“Did you mean: donate to joe lieberman campaign”

Try it! Oh, and send Joe some belly button lint. It’ll make you feel better. Think of all of those repub staffers opening envelopes full of lint.

CTBob- it is a spam prevention thing.

And re: YouTube uploads, I am on dialup, so I don’t know if this is helpful for anyone else, but immediately the YouTube window opens, I right click and choose “quality” and reset for “low quality”. Sure helps speed things up, and usually no great loss.

Darkblack – It sorta looks like they’re in hell, not on a beach. Which of course still works.

Can you even see the sun setting over the ocean in CT? Isn’t it, like, on the East Coast?

Sorry Dumb Ass you are mistaken Joe Lieberman does not represent the people of Connecticut. He works solely on the behalf of the billion plutocrats who live across the Long Island sound in East Hamptons. From there the setting sun is correct. Jesus Christ don’t you know anything. I swear you must have been thinking Lieberman was actually a Democrat these last eighteen years.

I think the Benny Hill music would be a great addition to the Kiss Float. It’s a nice touch and helps set the tone for that “zaney” candidate from the Connecticut for Lieberman party – Joey Two Times.

Dear fran,

I lost a cousin in military action so I feel that I can speak to your issue. His name was Trevor and we miss him dearly.

I feel you have a lot to offer us here but would like to advise about how to make your voice heard. This goes for all commenters [except concern trolls] who come here and say Why aren’t you talking about xxx.

Specific answer to your comment: we are trying to address this evil at a deep level, to elect people to Congress who will insist on accountability and investigations. Hence the effort for Lamont and if I may as a Virginian, Webb.

General answer to your comment: if you want us to learn about your issue please make a post that tells us about the situation in some detail, and why people who care about our country should be involved in your issue. This works, but chastising us with “you are bad because you aren’t talking about xxx”…doesn’t.

I am very sympathetic to your issue, since I began posting last December about vote tampering and a war of aggression against IraN. These were not exactly hot topics at the time. I received some feedback that was not entirely friendly :o Ref: asbestos suits

I felt strongly that we should be looking at these two issues; perhaps my passion brought others along.

You might have insight into the NEXT awful thing. Please give us a longer comment with an explanation of why you feel strongly that we should pay attention to your issue. Believe me there are people here who will pick it up and ride with it. We just need to learn more.

So tell us WHAT you feel is important and WHY. Best if you don’t drive-by with “Why don’t you talk about issue X.” Help us understand YOUR issue. We are all over learning about new ideas; Help us help the world.

Hugh, I dont’ know who else appreciates your constantcy your comments, but I do.

Is it more amateurish or passionless?

I really don’t know what makes a good political ad. This one seems like a non-starter to me, but I’m not in the bis. I hear that it is getting a great deal of play which makes me think that Lamont ought to have a great ad with lots of play to run against it. If viewers were allowed to compare the difference and Lamonts ad was outstanding, then that would really be something.

Jane,

Question – Is Lieberman allowed to say on his website, http://www.joe2006.com, that he is a Democrat?

He does. But I thought he was in the Joe4Joe party now….?

Can’t he be forced to remove that?
