Well, YOU feel better with Al Gore's bought-and-paid-for-running-mate Joe Loserman -- the man who argued shamelessly to throw out thousands of overseas millitary votes -- as our "ally" on the WOT. The voters elected a 49DEM-49REP Senate, it is YOUR alledged "Indepenedant" candidate who is breaking that tie and DELIVERING the Senate to Reid. And you feel better about that. If you hadn't loyally kissed the @$$ of Gore's running mate and INSTEAD volunteered for someone like Talent, Burns, Allen, or Steele, we'd have a majority now, but instead, your guy is going put people like Ted Kennedy in charge, and YOU feel better about that.
Unbelieveable.
How do YOU know I didn't volunteer or send $$ to Talent, Steele, Santorum, Burns, Allen, et al campaigns?
Also, you're in Illinois, I live here in Connecticut where this election between Lieberman and Lamont took place. Lamont (with his own and Moveon.org's funding) swept onto the national stage and took Connecticut by storm... I've never seen anything like it before. The choice was awful, but simple: Choose Lieberman or Lamont.
See that photo on my profile page? That's my husband (with the horn), and I'm right behing him holding a giant Sore-Loserman 2000 sign, although you can't see my face. We were in New Haven, on that frigid day on December 2, 2000 in front of Joe's house (although he was in Washington DC that day most likely). We spent every weekend during the 2000 Recount period out in the cold in either Connecticut, NYC or Washington DC, protesting on behalf of George W. Bush, insisting that the military votes be counted.
That was the situation in 2000. The situation - in Connecticut - in 2006 is that we had to choose between Lieberman and Lamont. I've said it 10,000 times now... the GOP candidate we had (Alan Schlesinger) was not even remotely viable. Votes for him would have come from the JOE column, thus we would have ended up with Senator Lamont. George Soros would be happy.
I'm not "happy" that Joe was re-elected, but I am sure as hell relieved that Ned Lamont wasn't elected.
