The Kossacks and the DUmmies must be in seventh heaven. Idiots!
Please explain the primary process. Joe would get the general election hands-down. He will probably get the primaries over this go fairly easily as well I hear.
I'm curious why "Israel" and "Jewish" are in the keywords. I didn't see either mentioned in the article. Do we have Pat Buchanan on board tonight?
The great machine of Democrat tolerance and support for (religious) minorities rolls on.
I lived in Connecticut in 1988 when Joe first ran, and beat Lowell Weiker for the Senate. I admit voting for Joe in that election, the ONLY Dem that I was proud to vote for, as Joe was the more Conservative of the two. His turncoat performance in 2000 with Woody Gore turned my stomach and was the perfect evidence to me that any Dem will sell their soul for a vote. In present day Conn Joe still wins, but he'll have a fight on his hands.
Lieberman is Jewish. And the reason why the Democrats hate Lieberman so much is his support for Israel's right to exist.
