Bolded emphasis mine.

Dear WildEyedLiberal,

People who live in white houses shouldn't throw stones.

George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove should know better, but it's no surprise they don't. For almost five years now, every time they've got their backs to the wall politically, they play "the fear card." The latest example: Dick Cheney claiming that Democratic candidates who dare to challenge the Bush White House on Iraq are "emboldening terrorists."

What's worse, and startling, is that in Connecticut Joe Lieberman is now echoing their intolerable rhetoric attacking the Democratic Senate nominee.

It won't work. We won't let it work.

HELP WIN THREE CRUCIAL SENATE RACES.

In Connecticut, New Jersey and Hawaii, this cynical Bush-Cheney strategy is running aground because our stand-up candidates are exposing the failed policies, botched strategies, and mind-boggling incompetence of the Bush White House that have squandered America's treasure, kept Osama Bin Laden on the loose, and cost the lives and limbs of our brave young people.

If the Bush administration could plan and execute the war on terror as well as it executes its shameless pre-election fear-mongering, we'd all be a lot safer.

That's what strong, principled Senate candidates like Ned Lamont, Bob Menendez, and Dan Akaka are making clear to voters in three of America's closest, high-stakes Senate contests.

HELP WIN THREE CRUCIAL SENATE RACES.

Our candidates are refusing to buckle or bend in the face of withering attacks by shameless politicians.

I urge you to stand with these candidates now. Because when we help them win, the cynical tactics of the Bush-Cheney-Rove political machine will lose their power.

There's only one way we can win. We've got to help our candidates give back as good as they get.

We'll meet every shameless attack with more energy, every distorting ad with more passion, and every ugly appeal to fear with more determination.

And 82 days from now, we'll celebrate the election of standup Democrats all across America.

We'll teach them, once and for all, that people who live in white houses shouldn't throw stones.

Let's get it done.

Sincerely,

John Kerry

1. Excellent!

I still want to know what it is that Lieberman believes he's supporting when it is clear Bush's policies in Iraq and the region have failed.

2. exactly

Why would someone jump from a party that is rising, to one that is sinking? Especially when he lives in a blue state? He must be angling for something. Sec-Def? Some other cabinet post? Hm.

3. Well, Lieberman is a neocon

He really believes in this Iraq War. I also heard he was angling for Sec Def, too, but I don't see any indication that Rumsfeld is planning to vacate, do you? But mostly, he just wants to keep his job and hold onto power, and feels entitled to it since he was the VP candidate in '00. I think it's really that simple.

4. it's true, he's probably sincere in his cause.

I think * is sincere in his cause too--the problem is that they are both wrong and not seeing the realities of Iraq.

Joe thinks the Dem party has gone off the deep end. I guess he likes the Republicans' deep end better. And he does feel entitled. IMO Gore picked him to pick up more conservative Dems, a purely political choice. (would that he had picked Kerry!)

Yeah I don't see Rummy leaving that office, unless he's in a coma or dead. Maybe not even then. :P

5. Somehow I got dropped from JK's mailing list

I haven't gotten any of the recent ones. :cry:

I'm getting his press releases, but not the emails to his 3-million-strong email list.

6. I stopped receiving them too. My last one was June 22.
