The first step was the organizing of the nutsroots under prominent bloggers like Kos. The second step was to get the screaming maniac Dean appointed as Democratic Party chairman. The third step is to destroy an established Democratic centrist leader, which they are currently doing to Sen. Lieberman. If Lamont wins the primary, the moonbats are going to emerge in full screaming force. Sen. Clinton will begin backtracking on her support for the war, and move farther to the left. Gore will start giving even more speeches, and keep insisting that he has no plans to run for president. (unless of course, the party insists) Democratic rhetoric will get ever more strident. What happens after the Democrats lose in 2006 and 2008 could get very ugly. The Lamont/Lieberman race is the third step in the struggle for the soul of the Democratic Party.

When Lieberman hammers Lamont, running as an Independent, should he lose this primary, I hope they have a lot of padding on the walls at Lamont headquarters. The moonbat meltdown won't be pretty. - Bang **== - The Dems are just setting themselves up for an even worse senario.

But I hope Lieberman wins the runoff, as I don't want the Lamonts of the country to have any power at all. That blackface on Lieberman stunt by Lamon't friend Jane-whom he says he doesn't know?-must have outraged as many Democrats as it did me. They won't forget that when they vote this week.

I've a feeling that the Lieberman/Lamont fracas is going to be used by the Dems to beat anything/anyone who is not blatantly Anti-War into line. Which is <strong>not</strong> going to help their party in the foreseeable future. Jack. Is anyone else flashing back to the McGovern days of 1968 and 1972???

Had these earmarks not gone into the respective bills, maybe these companies would have had to bid on the jobs, and show they were the best company for the job. I didn't watch the debate. What I see in Lieberman is a guy that typically goes with the principled view, even though it may not be the most popular view. This is what I like about Lieberman. For example, although he was friends with Bill Clinton, when the Monica Lewinsky thing broke, he was outspoken and admitted this type of behavior wasn't appropriate. Which is wasn't.

While certainly the dominant issue, I think this view masks a widespread dissatisfaction with congress, not just the administration, and is reflected in a "zero tolerance" attitude toward incumbents. People are looking for an excuse to "vote the bums" out. Watching the debate, I was struck by several differences between the candidates - most notably on the topic of "earmarks". I went into the debate with an open mind, expecting to retain my mild preference for Lieberman. Lieberman's brazen support for the earmark process, and craven appeal to Connecticut voters based on his ability to bring home the earmark "pork", completely changed my thinking. Lamont took a principled stand on earmarks, which resonated with me and I suspect resonates with Connecticut voters, even if he is more left of center than I would like. I posted a short video and transcript about this telling exchange in my blog post: <i><a href="http://westanddivided.blogspot.com/2006/07/to-earmark-or-not-to-earmark-that-is.html " target="_blank"><strong> "To earmark or not to earmark, that is the question"</strong></a></i> The media continues to portray this contest as a one issue referendum on the war.
