They hate us for our freedom. |

Which is amazing that more Democrats aren't joining the Republicans because they're the ones making sure those hated freedoms are removed, one at a time. |

Many of them who are ahead this year are trying their damnedest to sound like GOPers. The NY Times had a nice article about it yesterday. The Dems will probably take the House but it'll be like herding cats. |

Or maybe it's the GOPers who sound like the Dems? See, we have a big tent. Except for Lieberman. He's duplicitous pond scum. |

He'll be returned easily. Lamont is trying to talk up the GOP candidate who actually is pond scum. |

Yes, all Republicans are pond scum. And all Dems are angels with gleaming halos. |

Worry not. The evil-doers will still control at least one of the Houses, more likely both. There will be more talk of Man-dating, and it'll be back to business as usual. Our children and our children's children weep. |

I think you're correct that the Senate will hold but I am not so sure about the House. I fear much self-flagellation if the Dems lose. |

Regardless of the outcome, flagellation will be required. |

Lieberman is a politician who actually is standing on his personal ideals. He has been completely betrayed by his own party, that he has served faithfully for years...
While he lacks charisma - (looks like a Muppet) he, like MOST of the Dems, voted for the war, and has not run from that decision, nor has he hung all the blame for the current Iraq difficulties around the neck of Bush - though he has given restrained criticism at regular intervals.
Lieberman represents what the Dems once were - a proud political party that appealed to the majority of Americans. He is now seen as a fringe member of the Dem. leadership - though his polling in his own state is showing him heading toward a very comfortable victory.
He is among the most admirable national politicians in the game right now. The Dems are hanging all their hopes on dissatisfaction with Iraq, banking on the old Vietnan playbook - a very dangerous gamble that could decimate the party for years to come if they have miscalculated.
Then again, if they pull it off, the Repubs are not gonna go quietly, and will come out swinging.
Gonna be intersting...

I didn't know politicians had ideals. Ideally I suppose he'd like to be re-elected. |

And that is what Joementum is all about. There's a reason why his major backers are Republicans. They can use him like the bitch he is and as long as he can get re elected he's more than willing to towel himself off after getting the ol' McCain like swabbing. |

SOUTH PORTLAND — Thomas J. Connolly, of Scarborough, a prominent
defense attorney and 1998 Democratic candidate for governor was
charged with criminal threatening this morning following an incident
beside Interstate-295.
South Portland police were notified around 9 a.m. that a man wearing a
rubber Osama bin Laden mask was standing on top of a berm along the
highway carrying a sign that said "I Love Tabor," and waving what
appeared to be an assault rifle.
Four South Portland officers and two state troopers converged on the
man. They drew their guns when he did not respond to their demand that
he drop his weapon.
Police said instead he walked toward them dropping plastic hand
grenades. His costume included fake dynamite and bandoliers, police
said.
He eventually did drop the rifle, which turned out to be a toy and was
arrested, at which time the man was identified as Connolly. He was
taken to the Cumberland County Jail. |
