He doesn’t need George Soros — he has his own bank account — just like Mr. Corker does. Is it alright for one millionaire to pay for his own campaign, but not another? It is interesting that old Joe spent nearly 400K on primary election day for walking around money. Makes you wonder where the money went to?

Dear Ned:

When you have to dump 12.7 million of your own money into your own election coffers,get a clue!!!!

Whatever interest your base (If you ever actually had a base) had in your possibility of winning evaporated months ago.

I’ve got the Popcorn ready for your whiny little girl concession speech.:d

Jack.

I think the whinner in this race has been old Joe. His 18 years in public office have give him an enormous sense of entitlement. You have to admire someone who is willing to “put his money where his mouth is” — Joe is just using Republican cash in this race.

“Is it alright for one millionaire to pay for his own campaign, but not another?”

Don’t think I said anything about whether or not it was right or wrong. Feeling a bit defensive today?

“I think the whinner in this race has been old Joe. His 18 years in public office have give him an enormous sense of entitlement.”

Uh, no. Where do you get the idea that he thinks he’s “entitled” to a Senate seat?

“You have to admire someone who is willing to “put his money where his mouth is” — Joe is just using Republican cash in this race.”

Which means he hasn’t needed to pull $12+ million out of his own bank account to support his campaign. You guys are just jealous 😉

I have no problem with Ned throwing good money after bad here. Joe’s going to win this one easily. His lead grows each week, mainly because Lamont’s campaign is inept and imploding.

Lieberman is the ultimate proof of the intolerance of the left. He’s been in lock-step with them in nearly every vote, on every issue, for 18 years. But he has an independent view on one issue. He still believes in defending America. He still thinks we’re the good guys and the islamofascists are the bad guys. That’s the exact opposite view from the extreme left that runs today’s Dem party. And for that, they’re unleashing all kinds of hate at him.

Funny thing is, I still think the if the Dems had had brains enough to nominate Lieberman instead of Kerry in ’04, they might have won. That would have taken the entire issue of the WOT off the table and concentrated the debate on things like the economy, where the Dems’ policies, while still wrong, are not as blatantly dangerous as they are on the issue of national security.

You have to wonder about the mindset of someone willing to pony up 12.7 MILLION DOLLARS of their own money to obtain a job that pays $165,200/year. Anyone who wants to be a politician that badly is certainly no Cincinnatus.

Sev,

It makes you wonder how much the $165,000 job really pays. If I’m Lamont, I would take the 12 million and put it somewhere else. Like maybe into having a good time. For the rest of my life.

Watching plutocrats like Lamont and Soros trying to buy public office/candidates – and failing – one wonders: How did they get their money in the first place if they spend it this stupidly?

Of course, everytime someone donates 10 cents to a Republican candidate, the MSM and the Democrats go nuclear. Nothing like a sense of proportion (not to mention fairness).
Severian says:

October 22, 2006 at 8:37 pm

G Monster, right on man, right on. Not only does it speak to a severe narcicissm and lust for power, but it also indicates that the job pays a lot more than it appears to, but that’s no surprise. How many ex-congresscritters came out poorer than they were when they went in?

Oddly enough, Bush is one of the least rich people who’ve ever been president or in government. Compare his tax returns to other government “leaders.” But he’s only invading the Middle East because he has a lust for money, right lefties?

Comment moved from another thread to this one, which is where it belonged. –ST

I’m not defensive about Ned Lamont spending his millions on his own campaign. But, why take a shot at him when you haven’t done so with Corker or the other Republicans (West Virgina and Nebraska come to mind) who are pouring millions into their own losing efforts. Why bring up Soros. To my knowledge he hasn’t funded the Lamont campaign beyond the legal limit. Has he taken out an independent “swift boat” expenditure to attack old Joe?

Severian, have you checked Bush’s networth lately? Where do you pull this stuff from — don’t answer, I know. And, what does that have to do with invading Iraq? So, now, all Members of Congress are just in it for the money, right? If that is the case, please abstain from voting for any of those greedy bastards on election day.
Severian says:

October 22, 2006 at 9:27 pm

Well, smart guy, what’s his net worth? Specifics, not just “have you checked” bullshat. If you find a fact, try not to wet yourself in excitement, lots of people use them, there’s no dishonor to it, unless you’re a netroots moonbat.

And what the hell does Iraq have to do with Netroots Lamont spending money on his own campaign or the fact he wants power more than he likes money?

Try and stick to the point and topic at hand. I know it’s difficult for an undisciplined mind, but if you try really hard you just might surprise yourself. l-)

– Keith, you really should quit while you’re behind. It’s even become an insider whisper among the Democrats, finally admitting that the “Great Lieberman Adventure” may turn out to be the bungle of the Century politically. If the Dems fall short by one seat in their bid for the House, it should take about 5 minutes for them to throw you, and that brain dead gaggle of Hampshers Hampsters under the bus.

– I’m loving it.

Keith says:

But Bang, Joe will caucus with the Democrats and most likely give them the majority. Who’s behind. Funny slogans and put downs just don’t get it for the Republicans anymore. Better get those gay marriage pictures out fast

You can but bang all you want kieth, but that is yet to be determined.

Lieberman may be rethinking anything to do with Democrats after they have stabbed him in the back, smeared him, and disowned him from the democrat party because he wanted to run as a Independent….

Something in which, having him run a an Indpendent made him MORE popular because he was NOT running as a Democrat. Yes, I know you will say he wasn’t running as a Republican either, but he was never a Republican but always a Democrat, except for when the Democrat party turned its back on him.

Tell me, if someone smeared you, disowned you and stabbed you in the back every chance they got while you were running for re-election – would you have much want to do anything with the people who have done that to you or would you be more inclined to work more with the people who supported you?
Keith says:

October 22, 2006 at 11:21 pm

That would depend on who stabbed whom first. Joe will caucus with the Democrats. It will cost his wife too much money if he doesn’t and he is greedy. Public servant you know, needs that outside source of income.
Big Bang Hunter says:

– Sure Keith, just keep telling your self after what your cult of chuckleheads did too him, he’s going to be your friend. As an Independent, I think you’ll find him to be rather antipithetic toward most of your anti-American agenda. Good luck. You got rid of him alright, and made an enemy for life. Simply brilliant. I assume this is one of your “moral” victories you like to substitute for winning anything of substance. I keep wondering how much deeper into your own delusions you SecProggs can sink, but you always come up with new and better ways of lossing. Why? Simple. You’re losers. Tell Hampsher to forget the champagne, and buy some hemlock. Goes better with defeatists in defeat.

Big Bang Hunter says:

– Oh, and as far as finances. If you think thats your get out of stupidity card with Lieberman, you’ll also find that the Independent caucus will supply him all the money he’ll ever need just to watch you whine and cry, and begile the country with all your usual loser excuse’s.

But, he won’t need it because he will caucus with the Democrats. His wife will insist. Trust me.

No, thanks.

No one named Tammy has any position of authority in the Lieberman Campaign. She doesn’t exist or she is stuffing envelopes. I know all the movers and shakers there. What cliff are you talking about? Once again, you use bumper sticker slap down slogans to discuss complex issues. We were talking about whether or not Joe would caucus with the Dems. Old Joe will stay put — he knows his place.
sanity says:

Keith states, “Old Joe will stay put — he knows his place. “

Interesting choice of words…..
Keith says:

October 23, 2006 at 10:28 am

Yes, I chose them carefully. He is all about power and staying in office. He knows what to do to keep it.

Joe Lieberman has always been a bagman for the Corrupt Democrat party ever since as CT Attorney General Lieberman declined to prosecute a campaign aide of Gov. William O’Neill for vote fraud until after the 3 day statute of limitations passed for contesting the primary was over. Former Rep. Toby Moffett got screwed by the Democrat machine in CT.

Now Joe got the receiving end of the big wood screw from the National and CT Democrats.

Joe may caucus with the Democrats, but only if the Democrats need him for a majority.

Poor Uncle Neddy. He wants so much to be loved by all. And he isn’t. So he raises a strawman, as Democrats are wont to do, in a vain hope that Lieberman supporters will recoil in shock that money – MONEY!!! – is being spent on Lieberman’s behalf! Shocking!

Poor Uncle Neddy.

As for Soros, he probably realizes that funding Uncle Neddy is simply ‘good money after bad’.

– Lame-mont never had a chance in hell from day one….It was great theater, lots of fun, and running around for the young turks, but after he gets squished like a rotten pumpkin, the nutrooters will have to slink on home, having learned that experience in politics really does count. For me it’s just been another example of why NeoLibs would make such lousy leaders. they never think of the consequenses of their actions.
