Lieberman's Loss and the Terror Threat

THE BIG PICTURE

As many people predicted, both Joe Lieberman and Cynthia McKinney lost their primary bids on Tuesday. McKinney lost because she is an incompotent moran. But Lieberman was a victim of an extremely dirty campaign and the far left agenda in this country. There are not many better people in Congress than Joe Lieberman, but liberals dont care about character. They are so obsessed with power that they will throw anyone under the bus because of one single issue, disregarding their record that goes back decades. Lieberman is a liberal, he votes with his party 90% of the time, but his support for Iraq sunk him. His hawkish attitude toward terrorism is grounds for impeachment according to most liberals, and they proved that on Tuesday. In a turn of sad Irony for Joe, today's thwarted terror attack proves that this nation is still very much at war and risk. I believe if this had happened on Monday, Lieberman would have won.

People like Ned Lamont cannot and will not protect this nation. Lamont has no idea what he is doing or talking about. He continuously uses talking points over and over again, but thats what liberals love. Im not sure if he issued any kind of statements about todays activities, but Id love to hear his thoughts. This country needs men like Joe Lieberman in congress, and the Democratic Party especially needs him. If they continue to move to the left, as they have been since 2004, they will continue to lose national elections. I think Lieberman will win in November inspite of what happened the other day. Joe has appeal to moderates and Republicans, while Lamont is stuck with the far left. I dont see Ned Lamont getting many more votes on November 7th than he did on Tuesday, where as Lieberman, who only lost by about 10,000 votes, has the ability to really capitolize. The Next few months should be very interesting in Connecticut.

Lieberman's troubles should scare many moderate Democrats, and especially those who support the war. Hillary Clinton imparticular should be rethinking her political strategy. As the part drifts leftward, she will be alone. We all know that somebody much more liberal will challenge her in 2008, and judging by what happened to Lieberman, that person could actually win the nomination. We saw this same sort of atmosphere in 1972 when George McGovern ran for President as the far left, antiwar candidate. He got slaughtered, as will the liberal candidate in 2008, so Republicans should be very happy about these developments.

Recapping, today's terror arrests prove Joe Lieberman right, but nobody on the left will admit that. He deserves his seat in the Senate, because he fully understands the threats we face everyday as Americans. This is not Vietnam. Anyday we could be attacked just like we were on 9/11, or even worse. But luckily, we have George W. Bush, and even people Lieberman, who are not scared to take tough stands when the fate the country is on the line. All of this shows that we are safer today than we were five years ago. So regardless of what that mainstream media says, and the kookie liberal bloggers, and the out of touch members of congress, we have made progress over the past half decade, and if the Democrats are able to regain power anytime soon, prepare to go back to the 9/10 mentality. And yes, that is meant to scare you, because it should.
