2. Lieberman lost, that's all that counts. They hate a loser, they won't
prop up his sorry ass. He's finished.

6. I'm wondering what voter turn our was in Ct. Was it high?
cause I'm really thinking that they had it set up to steal, but turnout was so high, they couldn't get away with it. It's just that I think that the closer the vote, the easier it is for them to steal.

7. An 8% overnight turn around! Why not a 25% turn around over...
Edited on Wed Aug-09-06 12:42 AM by bananarepublican
... a couple of nights in November?

Me thinks RethugAssKicker has captured the developing story as to why the "Rethugs" will retain control of both houses come this November.

With this in mind... WTF!!! should be done about it?

8. "Lieberman Finishes Race a Close Second; Lamont Places Next to Last"
That title is a paraphrase of the 'car race headline' example
that my HS teacher gave to demonstrate how PRAVDA
"spun" the facts to support the old Soviet regime.

They taught us that it was a pretty HORRIBLE place, the old USSR...
We learned how the elections were rigged there,
how the government imprisoned the citizens
without fair trials or even official charges,
the way their mail was opened and their phone calls wiretapped,
and how anyone who dared complain was decried as a traitor
to the Homelan...er, I mean, 'MOTHERLAND'...

Thank GOD those horrible, fascist Commies aren't around anymore!
I just NEVER understood how intelligent, sane human beings could
have tolerated life under those sort of conditions.

(DISCLAIMER: I posted this in another thread 30 minutes ago;
I fully expect I'll be reposting it often in the coming days)

9. We counter: Ned Lamont was at 13% in March and won the primary
against a well-known national democrat who ran for VP in 2000.

12. I could believe it ...
we've seen that kind of shit before.

What they won't till you is that Holy Joe, being a three-term incumbent, SHOULD'VE won by 30 percentage points.

13. There are times when the MSM is irrelevant
This is one of them - who cares what those whiners are saying anyway?

14. It really doesn't matter- hopefully though they are covering
endorsements from other top level dems.

15. The only headline there should be about it is
Incumbent Senator ousted in CT. Primary.
