Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid D-NV, is trailing three Republican opponents by double digits in recent Nevada polls. His money is dwindling away.
On Sunday afternoon, May 2, 2010, Mr. Reid did what all Democrats lust for. He attended a fundraiser for himself in the wealthy town of Greenwich, CT. Senator Joe Lieberman I-CT was the host at a private home of a venture "capitalist".
Both Reid and Lieberman were taunted, mocked and scolded by a crowd of nearly 70 protesters representing a dozen or more of the thrirty-one conservative grass roots groups that have appeared in Connecticut over the past two years.
This video is the first of three in production showing the protest which occurred on Meadow Lane in Greenwich, CT from 4 PM to 6:30 PM on May 2, 2010.
Joe Lieberman threw a fundraiser for Harry. The Dump Dodd team threw a protest. I love these people.
Dump Harry PING.
Lieberman’s years are catching up with him. Likely his family will take away the TV remote from him about 4 years before he steps down. Some of us are already there....
Speaking of Harry, I know a person that flew the undertaker and a bodyguard not so long ago from point A to point B. He said Reid had a very weird demeanor/presence--I know, hard to believe. After the trip, he inspected the food goodies that needed to be replaced. Reid had completely wiped them out. Took every last one.
It's always good for a laugh watching Lieberman up to his old tricks. This guy is such a damn phony---he cannot be trusted. He wants something for himself-----he will say and do anything to get it.
During Clinton’s impeachment, Lieberman held out till he got the VP nomination.....the so-called "conscience of the Senate" went on and on condemning Clinton's behavior, but when the crucial vote came, Lieberman sucked up to Clinton.
Lieberman sucked up to 2008 candidate McC, as he wrote a $100,000 check to the Dems to protect his creds.
=========================================
HERE'S HOW LIEBERMAN LIED HIMSELF INTO OFFICE Lieberman is a staunch supporter of abortion rights now, and even voted against banning partial-birth abortion six times in a row. An Orthodox Jew, Lieberman defends his pro-abortion, pro-infanticide record, saying Jewish law is deeply divided and Orthodox Jewry construes abortion as "a personal matter."
But pro-life leaders in Connecticut remember another Joe Lieberman. Lieberman made pro-life pledges about 20 years ago, when he was first a candidate for the US Senate. Lieberman sought pro-life votes in the final stretch of his 1988 Democratic bid to oust 18-year Sen. Lowell Weicker, a pro-abort Republican.
"Joe was very liberal, like Weicker, but we had a poll on abortion that showed which way the wind was blowing," says Daniel Cosgrove, then the Democratic town chairman in Branford, Mr. Lieberman's hometown. The poll showed anti-abortion sentiment outweighed pro-choice views in urban areas throughout Connecticut. "In the Waterbury area, it was more than any, 12,000 [more] against abortion," Mr. Cosgrove says.
Lieberman "expressed himself as coming from a tradition in support of life, not in favor of abortion on demand." "Lieberman expressed himself against abortion, all suicide, and euthanasia. His position on that definitely was well received by the Catholic hierarchy.
State Sen. Regina Smith, who conducted the pro-life poll for the archdiocese, arranged for Lieberman, then the state AG, to meet with Catholic prelates before the election to lay out his support for Catholic pro-life positions.
The strategy worked. Lieberman convinced the archbishop he favored pro-life positions and would vote differently than Mr. Weicker, thus winning Catholic support that pushed him to a narrow 10,000-vote victory — the only Democratic Senate upset of that year. Lieberman's winning margin was less than 1 percent of 1.4 million votes.
Written records of a meeting between Lieberman and top officials of the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) two months after the 1988 election quote Mr. Lieberman as saying he "thinks there are too many abortions," and promising he would not "apply a litmus test" against pro-life judicial nominees.
Liar Lieberman today, of course, denies any of this ever happened.
If THIS could happen in Greenwich the Democrats are really in trouble.
Let us pray that they are in big trouble.
