Lieberman Playing Politics? Kettle / Black

Hey folks,

Happy Tuesday to you. Sorry I was not able to make it in yesterday. I saw this AP article about 6 am, but not being here, of course I had to bite my tongue. But I'm here now. {Smile}

It made it’s rounds yesterday in it’s normal circles. It wasn’t just Ned Lamont, the anti-war candidate, who just edged out Lieberman by ten thousand votes by LWL followers, but the normal players. But I’m going to focus on the LOOSER in the general elections in November. That’s right, Lamont.

He said,

"My God, here we have a terrorist threat against hearth and home, and the very first thing that comes out of their mind is how can we turn this to partisan advantage. I find that offensive,"

And,

"It surprised me," he said. "It seemed almost orchestrated. It's sort of demeaning to the people of Connecticut. ... I thought the senator and the vice president were both wrong to use that attack (strategy) on the voters of Connecticut."

What did Lieberman say? Lieberman warned that Lamont's call for a phased withdrawal of troops from Iraq would be "taken as a tremendous victory" by terrorists. He was right. Look at what Hezbollah is saying about Israel. It would be the same in this case.

If you remember, the first thing that Lieberman said after the arrests of the terrorists plotting to blow up planes, was,

"This should serve as the latest, most serious evidence that we are in a war against a brutal enemy that intends to attack us over and over again in the most indiscriminate way. The Department of Homeland Security is doing what it was created to do in the face of a terrorist threat: protecting the United States through the implementation of security measures, international cooperation, and coordination with the law enforcement and intelligence communities."

Of course, he was right again. So telling the truth is now offensive? OK, OK, I know. Telling the truth is ALWAYS offensive to the LWL, unless it fits their agenda.

No Mr. Lamont, it’s YOU who is trying, poorly I might add, to turn this into a political advantage. You know that you will have NO chance at all with Lieberman running as an Independent. This is why you and those that support you, are trying so hard to get Lieberman out. But saying that it is Lieberman turning this into partisan politics is absurd. It is you that play to the far left looney fridge. To hell with national security as far as you are concerned. It’s all about attacking President Bush. Lieberman, unlike you, has been proven to be able to set aside political differences, to work together for a common goal. One that is best for the COUNTRY not party. Can you say that?
