This may make Lieberman supporters happy.

"Do as I say - not as I do"

http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20060803-112200-4787r.htm

I live in North Georgia so I don't oppose or support either one.

I do have a more favorable opinion of Senator Lieberman, though. Most Georgians do also.

[SteppingRazor]

1. I don't think stock ownership precludes someone...

from criticizing a business. Remember the righties crowing about how Michael Moore owned Halliburton stock?

[Warren Stupidity]

2. Your source is a rightwing pile of crap.

And this nonsense has been debunked already today. Lamont holds an S&P index fund that holds walmart stock. This is just desperation on joememento's part. Another pathetic smear from the official voice of rev. moon.

Oh and welcome to DU.

[eyesroll]

9. I think there may be some Wal-Mart in my 401(k)...

:eyes:

[Vickers]

3. If the Moonie Times says it, it must be true!

:eyes:

[babylonsister]

4. Most Georgians have a more favorable opinion? Link? nt

[Vickers]

5. I just asked my mom (a Georgian) who Joe Lieberman is...

...and she said "A presidential candidate?"

:eyes:

[babylonsister]

ROFL!

No offense to Mom, but that's funny! I guess that shows how entrenched some Georgians are in politics. :eyes:

[Totally Committed]

8. Yeah... I gotta see THOSE stats!

Link, please!

16. I would think if there was a link..

..someone with a knowledge of search engines would find it.

My opinion comes from the Democratic Committee polling Georgians on various topics.

LaMonnt isn't even known to the great majority of them - no surprise there. Lieberman has appx 72% approval ratio.

It has been going down lately - the last poll was 7/22.

Other polls show that the Republicans will pick up two House seats (three if McKinney loses) and keep the Governorship. I personally don't believe this but that's what the polls show.

They also show that Hillary would lose Georgia against any Republican.

But just among Democrats, Gore is the favorite.

[babylonsister]

18. I would think if you state something as fact and not speculation,

you could provide a link. That's known as courtesy.

[lonehalf]

20. You're right. I should have said polling data showed... n/t

[dogman]

6. The summation of the article is that both are hypocrites.

Is the real purpose of the article another paid ad for Mall-Wart? Surprise! Surprise!

[Warren Stupidity]

21. The article is crap

buried in it one might be able to figure out that Lamont owns an S&P index fund that in turn owns some walmart stock. The dividends cited are the return on the index fund, not walmart dividends. The article is a piece of crap attack ad from rev moon.

[jumpoffdaplanet]

7. Liebermann directly owns Halliburton stock

And worse, as a Senator helps Halliburtion to increase their price and profits.

Liebermann is a asshole liar.

[lonehalf]

13. This article says That LaMont...

...owns Halliburton.

http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2006/07/21/lamont_earned_28_million_in_2005_tax_returns_show/

And that it's in a managed account, not a mutual fund.

Who you gonna believe?

[Nite Owl]

10. Someone with the money that

Lamont does doesn't sit down and stock pick. He may not have even known that he had it and as a percentage of his portfolio it is likely an insignificant amount. Sometimes it is good to own a stock in a company you hate, it gives you voting privileges. I don't see this as any plus for Leiberman, he's running scared and after a third term he shouldn't need to be so defensive, he should be talking about his record but he can't, people don't like it.

[SaveElmer]

11. Jeez...talk about a non-story...

The guy probably has mutual funds with Wal-Mart holdings...

Christ...I probably do too...

Big Deal!

Anything coming from the Rev. Moon should automatically be discounted!

[LoZoccolo]

12. Actually it makes me very sad.

Sad that my party has lost it's way, to consider a Wal-Mart profiteer as a new progressive hope over a true progressive who participated in the civil rights movement fourty-some years ago. :cry:

[calico1]

15. It makes me and a lot of other

CT residents very sad that someone like Lieberman, who fought for civil rights and for the little guy all those years ago is now a sellout and a tool of the Republican Party.

Oh and by the way, I have a 401K invested in several funds and a separate mutual fund. I wonder how many companies I don't love I am "profiteering" from? :eyes:

[Warren Stupidity]

19. a Wal-Mart profiteer?

You sir have no shame.

[calico1]

14. I'm sure most Georgians love Lieberman

as do most Southerners. As a Southern visitor to our state gushed when Lieberman came by her daughter's home where she was visiting: "I love Joe Lieberman because he supports George Bush!"

:rofl:

[lonehalf]

17. You hit the nail right on the head. n/t

[enuffs_enuffs]

22. This Georgian doesn't agree...

Simply put, Lieberman chose the wrong team. Sucking up to that RW tit hasn't served him well at all... and now he's paying the price.

Hopefully... good ridance. We don't need no stinkin' servile suck fish.

[GreenTea]

23. Good news for republican Joe from a (near) 100% republican Diebold state

as if the Dem's care what predominately republican Georgia has to say!!!

[LaPera]

24. The fucking republican Washington Times gives a shit only when

it can fuck over a progressive Democrat like Lamont and help one of their own, republican Lieberman...As if the Washington Times doesn't just adore Wal-Mart, of course they do!!
