The subject is both timely and of obvious interest to Freepers. I think most of you will find the logic here to be probable.

The Kook-Fringe Party has been born. A recent poll showed that a third of Americans think the government had something to do with 9-11, so they have their base.

The thing that struck me about Ned Lamont's victory celebration is the vigorous cheers that came when Lamont said that "stay the course" was not good policy. I've never known any nation to so embrace defeat and surrender as such a positive good as that bunch. Even if somebody is against the war, do they have to make the possibility of surrender such a joyful event?

Surely this mindset is way off on the margin.

We're going to quit! We're going to quit! RAH! RAH! RAH!

"Back in 1936, Mr. Democrat himself, Al Smith, the great American, came before the American people and charged that the leadership of his party was taking the party of Jefferson, Jackson, and Cleveland down the road under the banners of Marx, Lenin, and Stalin. And he walked away from his party, and he never returned to the day he died, because to this day, the leadership of that party has been taking that party, that honorable party, down the road in the image of the labor socialist party of England."

Ronald Reagan "The Speech" - 1964

One reason I tend to distrust filthy-rich people who buy their way into office – regardless of their politics or party – is that they are disconnected from real life.

I like filthy rich people. They are not going to steal my car, murder me, etc. Plus, they or someone in their family probably did something really good to get wealthy in the first place. They also pay about 10 times or more the taxes that I pay, they provide more jobs, etc. Fithy rich is better than the alternative, poor people who are often stupid, and middle class people who know almost nothing about macro issues.

I like GH bush, GW bush, Arnold, Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney, Bill Frist, Pete Dupont, Steve Forbes, Tiger Woods, Charles Barkely, the late John Heinz, Pete DuPont, etc.

The Kennedys I can do without along with the Hollywood rich, but mostly the rich are the cream of our society.

I don't like the way the Iraq war is going.

Unfortunately, the muslims have convinced me that they must be defeated, no matter what the cost, no matter what the price (churchill I think referring to the nazis).

I guess this makes Bill Clinton a latter-day Whig? He'd probably like to go down in history as the "Last Democrat President."

Just a small nit to pick:

"That brings us back to Ned Lamont. A prime mover in putting him into office was MoveOn.org."

Lamont isn't in office yet.

Who is Ned Lamont?
Politics, Harvard, Left Think, Democrats, 2006 Elections, Joseph Lieberman, Phillips Exeter Academy, Corliss Lamont
line

I knew he was a commie, of course. But not until I read Martin Peretz, in the Wall Street Journal, did I realise that he is an hereditary commie of impeccable red-diaper origins: old money, with Exeter, Harvard, and Stalin as family traditions.

Left-wing Democrats are once again fielding single-issue “peace candidates,” and the one in Connecticut, like several in the 1970s, is a middle-aged patrician, seeking office de haut en bas, and almost entirely because he can. It’s really quite remarkable how someone like Ned Lamont, from the stock of Morgan partner Thomas Lamont and that most high-born American Stalinist, Corliss Lamont, still sends a chill of “having arrived” up the spines of his suburban supporters simply by asking them to support him.

I think the idea of occupation and rebuilding is the part we're going to have to forget. From now on we simply bomb them back to the stone age. I mean we roll out every heavy bomber in the inventory for Iran, Syria etc

A country has to be ready to fight for its vital interests. Maybe I'm being unfair, but these Lamonters seem to think there is no vital interest worth fighting for-except maybe abortion on demand or increased AIDS research $$$.

Patriotic people can differ on the best way to secure vital interests and debate whether we're overextended or underextended- but there is a time when a nation has to take a stand.

"....Madeline Albright, who in turn is Neville Chamberlain in drag."

Should have added the requisite apologies to Mr. Chamberlain.

Unfortunately polls show if the election were held today, Democrats would probably take a majority in the Senate. If you can believe polls. In any case those who are proclaiming the death of the Democrat party are being a tad premature, sad to say.

Ken Lay was filthy rich. O. J. Simpson was filthy rich. George Soros is filthy rich.

Shall I continue down the list?

We are not going to lose the senate. We will pick up cantwell's seat and hold Santorum's. There is no way whitey ford will win in Tenn.
The damage the rat has sustained yesterday has yet to really be understood. It will show itself in November.

Democrats: The party of the working man - like Michael Moore, Bono, Steven Spielburg. You know, the poor low class slobs that can never seem to get a break...
