Being a strong supporter of President Bush's Iraq war policy isn't a perfect fit for Connecticut, something Lieberman acknowledges.
From Reuters:
Challenger Ned Lamont's underdog bid to unseat Lieberman in Democratic-leaning Connecticut could offer an early gauge of the intensity of anti-war sentiment ahead of November's midterm elections, along with a measure of the influence of the Internet activists and bloggers who have flocked to his cause.
"Senator Lieberman has cheered on the president every step of the way when it comes to the invasion of Iraq, and he is too quick to compromise on core Democratic principles," Lamont, a businessman and former Greenwich town selectman, told Reuters.
Let's see what's going on among the "Internet activists" in regards to the Lamont-Lieberman race. From the comments page on this story from Huffington Post:
On the war, I've done what I thought was right for my country. I obviously haven't done it for political reasons," Lieberman told Reuters
No you did it for Israel you lying sack of crap! Commenter Hacksaw
LIEBERMAN IS A WIMP,AND A TRAITOR.he is the kind of democrat WE DON'T NEED.he is the "anti-kennedy",a total kiss ass to whoever is in power. liberman helped gore lose bigtime,a giant worm without a soul. Commenter gopnot
If Lieberman loses who can devote all of his time to sucking Bushpig balls. Right now he's only able to do it 75% of the time. That seems to pain him. Commenter MoeLarryandJesus.
Fucking Zionist bastard, this scumbag should have been out of there five years ago! Commenter ourdaughterswedding.
Lieberman is another fifth columnist (Jewish) Israel firster Senator who was all for the attack on Iran for Israel as well (Lieberman receives the most funding from the pro-Israel lobby -AIPAC and similar. Commenter NOBOMBSONIRANFORISRAEL
Now here's a level headed observation:
Looking at these comments, it's hard to believe that just five and a half years ago, this was your nominee for the second highest office in the land. Now he is an outcast?
Is this further proof of Al Gore's bad judgment? Maybe it's convincing evidence of how pervasive Bush Derangement Syndrome has become among Democrats. Commenter BJClinton
It's emotions expressed in this Huffington Post thread that give me pause when someone like Dick Morris says the Democrats are going to win back Congress this fall. The looney segment of the Democrats will torpedo their hopes. There is no holding these nuts back; they'll sink their own ship, and as they go down, their last words will be "Bush is Hitler."
But the Democrats are the party of diversity.
