FItz! Christy! Ned!

Ned!

It’s really not true that it hurts to say good-bye.

GET OUT THE VOTE!

Don Young on the last thread was quoted as saying he didn’t think any Republicans would lose their house seats. bwahahahaha!! Wait til he wakes up on the 8th and finds out HIS seat is gone :)

A couple of you had people you asked support for while I was in the DR. Am back ready to contribute. I got the LA-2 and Charlie Brown CA-4 but weren’t there a couple other requests from fdl people? Thx.

RGJoe will even undermine his Best-Friend-Forever Chimpy McFlightsuit in his quest to retain “his” seat in the US Senate.

Why would Connecticut Democrats trust this man with another term?

Why would Connecticut Republicans trust this man?

Why would Connecticut Unaffiliated voters trust this man?

Nutmeggers who vote to retain their Junior Senator do so at our nation’s peril. He simply cannot be trusted to do what he says he will do, and he cannot be trusted to say what he will do with any integrity. His judgment has been shown, over and over, to be flawed and self-serving. He’s not a partisan. He’s not bi-partisan.

He’s only Joe-partisan.

Ned’s wonderful new ad. Insanity Defined: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..&eurl=

Way late to the party, Christy, but big congrats on your election night CNN gig – I know you’ll do our side proud, as always. And thanks for your longstanding tireless efforts in whipping up the troops in advance of The Big Day.

After many months of Joe study I find the only area I trust his words is when he finds his inner neocon. When he blurted out “regime change in Iran” during the second of the three CT debates we had a glimpse of his true intentions.

GW Clusterfuck has now butchered 107 troops this month in Iraq. Nice goin chowderhead.

The comma is getti longer- looks more like an exclamation point.

hi op!

And now Joe Lieberman claims he is for peace. He will say anything to get elected. I just hope Schlesinger and Lamont will chip away enough votes from Lieberman to pull an upset for Lamont. Lieberman, similar to the ReTHUGlicans who are funding his campaign, will say anything to get elected, and I am frankly sick of it.

Joe was hopin ta run for president on the “itchy trigger finger” platform now admired by many but not most americans. It’s all turnin ta shit for him. Best he can hope for is hangin onto his shitty senate seat.

Hi TeddySF! ‘S’new in Pelosi country, you SF liberal, you?

A week from today I’ll be busy stockin up provisions for the big election night teeveeathon. Need lots of coffee for late night viewin- and some champagne for when the 15th house seat turns over. If there’s a sixth senate seat takeover- guess I’ll have to send out for a small cask.

I want to let everyone know what a “friend” Barbara Boxer is of Ned Lamont. I got an e-mail today from her PAC; it said it was the last one she would send before Election Day. Here are some excerpts:

“there are 4 more great Democrats who need our help to finish strong and ensure a Democratic Senate majority come November 8th — 4 seats we absolutely must win — so let’s give them everything we’ve got in these final days.
Help Sherrod Brown, Bob Menendez, Bob Casey, and Ben Cardin win their Senate races on November 7th — please rush them one last online contribution today!

MSNBC follows with Lester Holt’s description of Minn as traditionally sending liberals like Mondale and Coleman to the Senate.

EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE Me.

Norm Coleman is about as liberal and as true a Minnesotan as well, the sleazy Kennedy [that would be Mark -R-] who’s on now attacking Amy Klobuchar for a murder rate that his buddy Gov Pawlenty let grow by cutting funding for cops.

Mark Kennedy…Minnesota’s answer to Rick Santorum….

Well dang!…what does Joe have over these centrist type Dems that they won’t line up for Ned, the REAL Democratic candidate in Connecticut? How can we get our message directly to the party leadership about what we think? Does rank & file really know and pretend they don’t, so they can keep their little traitor inside the tent?

This morning, I sent an email to my elder cousin (my mother’s generation), who is faculty at the UCONN medical center in Hartford, urging him to vote for the winner of the Democratic primary, Ned Lamont. I asked him to give me an idea about the vibe from his co-workers, friends, family and neighbors. If I get a hint of ambivalence, I’ll pounce. If there’s something interesting in his response, I’ll share it.

Hey, what the hell. Webb has a bit of a lead, they figured they’d help him out.

guy tackled for asking Allen why he spit on his first wife. Sensible question really- guess Allen didn’t like it.

A little motivational (if one were needed) from C&L;

http://www.crooksandliars.com/…..ng-orders/

BTW, there is an article by James R. MacArthur (publisher of Harpers, for those not in the know), in the Providence Journal today (unfortunately, behind a registration wall). It specifically looks at Waterbury, and the political situation there.

The gist of it is that the old-time pols are buddies of Lieberman and the Italian/Irish community are fairly pro-war. The salient bit is here:

Over in the black section of the North End, closer to downtown, the residents were much more talkative — partly due to the festive, alcohol-fueled ambiance. Near a game of horseshoes in a grimy, beat-up park named for Martin Luther King Jr., Howard Roscoe III had no difficulty stating his intention to vote Lamont. For Roscoe, 50, the issue was clear: “My brothers and sisters are getting killed in Iraq; what does Bush think he’s doing?”

However, my most telling encounters took place later that evening, uphill in the countrified reaches of the far North End. Mayor Jarjura had praised his constituents as “independent thinkers and independent doers” but that’s not quite how I would describe the people who attended the Waterbury Democrat Town Committee dinner. The setting at the Villa Rosa Pontelandolfo Community Club was the party’s $50-a-plate Annual Recognition Dinner. Except for Jarjura’s Lebanese name, this was pure Italian-Democratic clubhouse politics, with some Irish thrown in for balance. Waterbury’s shame is its recent string of corrupt politicians, from Mayor Joseph Santopietro in 1991 to another native son, former Gov. John Rowland, so an event to honor five unconvicted former office holders was, in its way, remarkable.

[snip]

Lamont deserved credit just for showing up. There was no press but me (the Cold War-frozen Waterbury Republican-American refers to Lamont as “Red Ned” and ignored his presence), and the amateur politician from Greenwich gave a mercifully short and polite speech after the powers-that-be moved him up to sixth in the line-up. In spite of his patrician background and wealth, Lamont recalls a bit of Jimmy Stewart in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, especially in his voice, and I don’t think the tepid applause was entirely cold.

Later, Lamont dutifully made the rounds of the pasta-laden tables, which wasn’t so easy given the overt hostility of some in attendance. This anti-Lamont sentiment was neatly summed up by another of my table-mates, who said he objected to Lamont’s “cut and run, left-wing (expletive).”
But not everyone was so tough in this very tough crowd. I had noticed a sympathetic-looking woman, Patti Delage, snapping pictures of Lamont with her father, the former tax collector and state Sen. Donald M. Rinaldi, who was one of the honorees. We started chatting and I asked an awkward question: Whom was Delage voting for in the Senate race?
She looked genuinely taken aback. “I don’t know,” was her reply. Well, how did Delage feel about Iraq? Would it influence her vote?
“I hate the war,” she said, suddenly passionate. “Does that mean I should vote for Lamont?”

That tells me that if anyone’s doing GOTV in Waterbury, head for the poorer sections of downtown and pin down every person that needs a ride to the polls.

The full article should be here.

Attorneys: No Backstory in CIA Leak Case

By MATT APUZZO
Associated Press Writer
Published October 31, 2006, 10:29 AM CST

WASHINGTON — Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald and former White House aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby agree on something: keeping Libby’s perjury trial in the CIA leak case focused solely on his actions. The two are separately asking a federal judge not to allow three years of politically charged backstory in the case to seep into Libby’s trial starting in January.

In new court documents, Fitzgerald argued that he shouldn’t have to explain why Libby was charged while others, including the source of the leak, escaped prosecution. Libby said jurors shouldn’t hear about New York Times reporter Judith Miller’s 85-day jail term for refusing to discuss her conversations with him.

well according to the newscast, Allen is unscathed so no worries, eh?

dems aren’t runnin to Conn cause they think Joe’s gonna win and they need to be able to keep him from goin gooper after the victory. This has been a nightmare for them from the beginning- facing long odds to win the senate and then having a squirrly primary challenge put a sure seat into play.

Pretty obvious why they aren’t pleased about it.

To quote a line from James Caan in Thief: “It’s real fuckin’ weird out there.”

“The Senate committee that oversees government contracting has launched an investigation into allegations that a Halliburton subsidiary sought to obstruct the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction by inappropriately marking documents “proprietary” and refusing to provide data to investigators in its original form.

“Sens. Susan M. Collins, R-Maine, and Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut, the chairwoman and ranking Democrat on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, announced their investigation in a letter to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Monday. The letter also was sent to Army Secretary Francis J. Harvey.” (CQ) (sub. req.)

Great. A week before the election, Lieberman finally gets around to doing his job. Too little, too late. Buh bye, Joe.

LindaR @ 57

“they are abusing the troops” — yes! go John Kerry!! (never thought I’d say that)

I’ll say it as long as I’m not expected to vote for him in a primary.

Since I have been told that my comments about Kerry were “the stupidest fucking thing written” I hesitate to continue here but I cannot imagine that it is not going to be the main topic soon. This is the kind of thing that has let Democrats “snatch defeat from the jaws of victory” before. Everyone seemed happy last week when Kerry supported Ned. Do you think this is going to help?
What I say may be stupid but it doesn’t impact the chances of others who are in a campaign. I guess it’s too much to ask that he thinks before he speaks.

John: shame on them, sick of it, i’ll take anyone of them on anywhere, had enough, despicable.

More! OMG, it was beautiful!

(Now Bay Buchanan braying for the thugs.)

I think Kerry’s been lurking at TRex’s Late Nite.

Never apologize. Never explain.

Hi all.

Noticed C-Span is going to air the CO-04 (Go, Angie!) debate against Musgrave tonight at 6p/Pacific 9p/East.

BTW – you have got to see the video some brave young patriots made in Stirling, CO… the heart of CO-04. It’s on display at Howie’s place. Musgrave must go.

Damn, Kerry is pissed off and is showing it. Nice.

Of course, CNN has that hag, Bay Buchanan on to do the GOP’s bidding, but at least they showed Kerry’s statement live.

This is good.

A new ad, set to debut at 3:30 today will parody an ad accused of race-baiting Tennessee Democrat Harold Ford by gay-baiting Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman. An advanced copy of the ad has been acquired by RAW STORY, and is viewable below.

he parody ad script:

Young man: “Ken Mehlman makes race-baiting ads. Yet he still wants my vote. Isn’t that enough?”

Woman on street: “Ken Mehlman did favors for convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff? (Laughs) So what? Me? I think government’s a little TOO honest.”

Young man wearing camouflage: “I don’t mind risking my life in Iraq. As long as the Bush twins get to party in New York.”

Minister holding Bible: “Ken Mehlman’s right. I SHOULD get my congregation to vote with him, and just forget that his friends covered up the Foley page scandal.”

Young man in tank top: “Ken Mehlman and I went to an inauguration event. We had a great time! And, we saw President Bush.”

Young woman: “I don’t mind having my pocket picked by the big drug companies. They give money to Ken Mehlman.”

Man in sunglasses: “Ken Mehlman helped George Bush steal the 2004 election. But uh, what the heck? Doesn’t everybody do that?”

Title screen: Ken Mehlman. He’s just not straight with Americans.

Voiceover: “BlogActive.com and Proud of Who We Are heartily approve of this parody ad.”

Young man in tank top again: “Ken – call me!”

punaise, I haven’t seen it, but based on the script, I’m ok with it. The Corker ad against Harold attacked his ethnicity, something he has no control over. While it’s true Mehlman has no control over his orientation, he has taken a very aggressive stance against gay rights. Again based only on the script, it looks to me like that is where the parody is aimed. I’m going to reserve final judgement until I actually see it, but right now, I’m ok with it. Thanks for linking it, I’m looking forward to other’s opinions.

He further expressed disgust with “Republican hacks, who have never worn the uniform of our country.”

Kerry added that President Bush and Vice President Cheney “owe our troops an apology” because they “misled America into war.”

Bush and Cheney “have given us a Katrina foreign policy that has betrayed our ideals, killed and maimed our soldiers, and widened the terrorist threat instead of defeating it,” the senator said.

Can someone link from Nedlamont.com/blog the hideous mailing that has been sent out by Lieberman’s thugs? I’m too stupid to know how to do advanced-computer.

And I am dying to hear the whole Kerry rant. Good for him.

Is Lamont’s “People Power Petering Out”?

About 11 days ago, Joe Lieberman quipped to reporters that “Lamont’s people power is petering out”. That comment ticked a lot of people off, even out here in the southwest. That was when we decided to send Lieberman a message – by contributing $100.01 to the Lamont campaign each and every day. This is our eleventh straight day. You can help us send this message to Joe by contributing your dough to get Ned Lamont to the Senate.

Contribute Here!

It’s the eleventh day of our riches-to-rags story. The lights and heat are still on, our tubez are still up, and we still have a good supply of “mac and cheese” in the cupboard – we’re still good to go!

Please join our $100/day Initiative!

Contrary to what you might expect, the Lamont campaign needs our cash the most right now. People power is critical, but the COLD HARD CASH to back them up is invaluable too. Let’s get this done. Contribute now, my friends!! JOE’S GOTTA GO.

Why doesn’t Lamont, at the end of the ad, say, “I’m Ned Lamont and I approve this ad… because it’s true.?”

Did he spit on someone in the crowd?
Did he break out in a rap song entitled ‘macacah beatch’?
Did he just smile smugly and go on with the event?

He’s good at that smug smile stuff, kinda like Dubya’s smirk.

At first I thought that Lieberman’s backing of Scrub’s policy was his concern for Israel. What’s his excuse now that Israel is less safe. Way to go Joe and keep on going. Puulleezee!!

By the way, have so many americans forgotten that the system is broken beyond repair? Who among the progressives are willing to admit that the system itself doesn’t allow democracy? Of course, we expats don’t have a voice, we only see whassup.

RGJoe will even undermine his Best-Friend-Forever Chimpy McFlightsuit in his quest to retain “his” seat in the US Senate.

Why would Connecticut Democrats trust this man with another term?

Why would Connecticut Republicans trust this man?

Why would Connecticut Unaffiliated voters trust this man?

Nutmeggers who vote to retain their Junior Senator do so at our nation’s peril. He simply cannot be trusted to do what he says he will do, and he cannot be trusted to say what he will do with any integrity. His judgment has been shown, over and over, to be flawed and self-serving. He’s not a partisan. He’s not bi-partisan.

He’s only Joe-partisan.

It’s vindictive republicans who are supporting Lieberman. It’s their way of ‘giving the finger’ to democrats!
