Ned Lamont for U.S. Senate Introduction Video



Three months ago, Ned Lamont began the kind of campaign entrenched DC power-brokers fear and beyond-the-beltway Democrats recognize as the only way to reclaim our country for ordinary Americans. This video introduces you to Ned, contains interviews with many Connecticut voters, and information on the actions and positions of Senator Lieberman. Now we need your help to spread the word to your friends and family.

1. Lieberman socks it to Lamont in the polls

Which is what counts in the first place right??

[paineinthearse]

2. Maybe in the first place

But it's not over until the fat lady sings.

I'm an eternal optomist. I believe that Lamont can and will inspire 50% +1 to win the Democratic primary election.

I detest anyone who believes that entrenched and undserving DINO's should automatically receive the nod just because they are an incumbent. When elected they serve for a TERM. When that term is over, the playing field should be level and all players enter on even footing (campaign warchests aside). All should run on merits, not "political capital".

6. The fat lady began singing months ago.

Turn out the lights, the party's over!!!

[CTLawGuy]

4. and Joe's best friend Sean Hannity

is really happy about that.

But he hasn't heard from ol' Joe in a while. I wonder why?

[Hawkeye-X]

15. My support for Lieberman is long over.

I'm an Orthodox Jew, just like Lieberman, but I do care about a lot of things here in the United States, rather than Israel. Lieberman's comment about rape victims having to find another hospital to get pills to prevent impregnation has drove me over the edge. He's lost it, and doesn't deserve my support. As a result, I have donated $250 to Ned Lamont to soundly defeat this incorrigable piece of shit that's shaming Orthodoxy Jewry in general.

3. Nice op-ed piece today from Weicker, too.

I miss Lowell Weicker.

[killerbush]

5. Does Weicker still have egg on his suit??

And the thought of Neddie Lamont getting 50%+1 of the vote is laughable. In the immortal words of Howard Cunningham, "when pigs fly".

7. Doesn't change the fact that Joe undermines the democrats on the war

And severely diminishes our chances of winning elections by distinguishing ourselves from the Republicans on that issue. Lieberman may be polling better than Lamont but that doesn't mean that he's better for the job.

[killerbush]

8. He is better for the job

And when all is said and done, he'll still have his job.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

14. Why is he better for the job?

Because he's pro-war?
Because he's anti-abortion?
Because he's super nice with Bush?
Or some other right-wing-ness of him I'm unaware of?

[JerseygirlCT]

9. I'm missing the reference to egg...

but I've always loved Weicker. Voted for him instead of Lieberman, in fact. Voted for him and Eunice for Gov. and Lt. Gov., too.

It would be nice if at the least this primary battle put some fear in Lieberman and reminded him he's supposed to be a Democrat. And that his constituents don't appreciate his fawning over Bush. And that paying a bit of attention to the needs of CT, and less attention to the career progress of Joe Lieberman would be smart in the long-run.

I've never been a Lieberman fan. To be honest, he really lost me years ago, when he hemmed and hawed and waited until it was too late to cast his vote on Thomas. Coward.

[killerbush]

10. I'll eplain the egg incident

A few years ago, the people of Connecticut were mad at Weicker for proposing an income tax because the governor before him, stripped the coffers bare. I remember Weicker walking through the crowd, and he was spit on, called all sorts of nasty names, and someone even threw an egg, and hit him on the chest. I look back on that now, and thought Weicker was stupid then for walking into an angry mob, and he's just as stupid today for backing a certain loser in Lamont. Sometimes he just doesn't figure things out does he?? I personally think old Lowell is still upset that Lieberman beat him for reelection back in 1988.

12. If winning is everything....

Then you're in the wrong party. Tp what lengths will you go to win?

Long story short: As long as Lieberman continues to stand with the corporate interest and supports this illegal and bigoted war, I'll keep sending money to Lamont.

If this primary actually becomes a referendum on the character of the politicians, Lamont will win in a landslide. If it really does all boil down to money, then our Democracy is lost already.

You can't compete with the rich when it comes to money. That's why we have a Constitution and a vote in the first place.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

13. By your reasoning

The Democratic Party shouldn't field a candidate for Governor in Texas. Do you agree with that?

[JerseygirlCT]

16. I remember the anger over the income tax

Although I think he was absolutely right. And then had to watch his hard-bought fiscal sanity ruined by Rowland's profligacy.

I just don't see it as a stupid thing to back Lamont. First of all, there's no way he'd back Lieberman -- perhaps as you say, for personal reasons. That was a pretty darned nasty fight, as I recall. But secondly, and I know I sound like a broken record, there's a good reason to send a strong message to Lieberman. I think he's gotten pretty big for those britches, VP and all. His totally out of touch, totally unapologetic stance on Iraq, and on Bush just screams "you can't touch me, Democrats, and I don't give a damn what you think!"

Look, should he win the primary, I certainly won't be voting Republican. But I won't be voting with much enthusiasm in that race, either.
