Lieberman a “Senior Advisor” at what looks like a Benador Associates mini-stable: Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.

“FDD was founded shortly after 9/11 by a group of visionary philanthropists and policymakers to engage in the worldwide war of ideas and to support the defense of democratic societies under assault by terrorism and Militant Islamism.”

Hmmm?

SourceWatch entry on FDD.

So, if the Chamber of Commerce cares about *small* business and rational health care plans, why the fuck do they keep endorsing Republicans?

Stupidity.

That, and it’s easier to stick with the evil that you’re familiar with. The Democrats are so scary! (Not.)
