Actually, he would be the senator from Soros-istan.
The party of FDR, Harry Truman, and JFK pretty much ended in 1972 with the nomination of George McGovern. The radical lefties have now completed their takeover by purging the likes of Zell Miller and Joe Liberman who were the last remnants of the old party. The Democratic Party has now morphed into something like the Green or radical Socialist Parties.
So far... the only blood in the water is theirs... spilt in a primary. Lieberman will soundly defeat the Kos-Kommie in November due to savvy, CT Republican voters... and Lieberman will remember all the Dhimmi's who rose up against him.
Given those who opposed him, I have no doubt that this, more than any other factor, including the war, was what led to Lieberman's defeat.
Oddly enough, Run Kuby himself is Jewish and lived in Israel at one time.
This may be the beginning of the split of the Democrat party
It may also be the end of the Jewish vote for them and more importantly of Jewish funding
I simply cannot understand how any Jew could still be a democrat now that their antisemitism is so blatantly exposed
I think it's terrible what happened to Joe. I liked him. But, hey, he IS a Dem, after all!
Now is the time to throw all of the support, and dollars, we can muster to the Pubby candidate...
Alan Schlesinger for U.S. Senate
It doesn't appear that he has a fighting chance, BUT, with Joe in the race as an indy, it could, very well, splinter the vote and give our guy a shot.
Perhaps a "FRee Connecticut" fund raiser from us FReepers?
For 20 years, Alan Schlesinger has been serving the citizens of Connecticut at the local and state level. Now, he wants to take that experience and make a difference for all of us in the U.S. Senate.

A new perspective in Washington.
A leader who truly understands the needs of the citizens of Connecticut.

P
Dems to Lieberman: "F'JB"
Dimocrats, bigots??? This can't be true.....
I wasn't a Dim who called New York Hymietown....Oh, wait, it was. (Je$$ie Jack$son)
Well, at least it wasn't a Dim who said the N-word on nation TV....Oh, wait, it was. (Sheets Byrd)
I am certain that the Dims are not the party with a former Klan member in the Senate....Oops, my mistake. (Sheets Byrd again.)
At least they aren't the party that founded the Klan. Sorry, they did that, too.
Anti-lynching legislation. They opposed that.
Standing in the schoolhouse door. Check.
US Senator Henry M. Jackson, from Washington State, had very few Jewish members in his constituency, he supported Israel out of principle. This is a principle that DemonRats have totally forgotten, and now, completely repudiated. May the Jewish people in this country finally wake up, and realize which party still supports Israel on principle.
Does he really have a chance to pull a Jesse Ventura? (where he gets 34 percent of the vote, and his opponents get 33 percent each?)
Look, Connecticut is a pathetic state with a pathetic history. Its legislators held off for a century before finally deciding in January 2005 to create a Connecticut Hall of Fame. They had to hold off because there were so few worthy of consideration.
Fact: 9 out of the 11 Jewish senators are Dems and the two Rep senators, Specter and Coleman, are the most liberal in the GOP. The nine Dem Jewish Senators: Boxer, Feingold, Feinstein, Kohl, Lautenberg, Lieberman, Levin, Schumer, and Wyden are (except for Lieberman) are among the most liberal in Congress, even for the Dems.
Fact: 25 of the 26 Jewish Congressmen in the House are Dems. They are extremely liberal. The lone Rep, Eric Cantor(R-VA), is a true conservative.
Political philosophy has more to do with the Jewish allegience to the Dems than religion. Party loyalty comes before religion. I think it is a mistake to view this as a religious issue.
Hitler would be a Democrat.
What a bumper sticker!
DRats support the Jews ???
Israel has not in a very long time had a friend like
President GW Bush.
IMO....I don't think it was being Jewish as much as he defends the war in Iraq....and he likes President Bush....and he was on the Sean Hannity Show several times....I guess with those going against you, you could lose and to make sure...PPclinton showed up (kiss of death) remember Gore???? So the guy didn't stand a chance...
If I were him, I would not let any of the above anywhere are me till this election cycle is over...lolol....
Will the last Scoop Jackson Democrat to leave the party, please turn out the lights?
He just did.
