White House officials, national Republican leaders and Mr. Lamont’s opponent, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, have said that Mr. Lamont’s position on the war — calling for a timeline for troop withdrawal in Iraq — would embolden terrorists.

Mr. Lamont’s campaign has sought to identify Mr. Lieberman with the Republicans, saying that the senator’s criticism of Mr. Lamont shows his alignment with the Bush administration’s policy in Iraq....

2. Good for him!

I hope that Mr. Lamont will go straight at Cheney ever chance he gets. I think you win by continuing to point out what a failure the current batch of Republicans have been, are and will continue to be. I think our beloved Vice President might have stuck his nose in a hornet's nest. Time will tell.....

4. Have they forgotten George W. Bush said this in 1999:

“Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is.”

Me thinks they need to be reminded, perhaps in a campaign ad?

1. Those Tramps shouldn't get abortions

2. Those gays should never marry.
