First off, I want to extend my sincere congralutions to Ned Lamont on his victory over former Democrat Joe Lieberman, and to those who helped in making this all possible. The regular America who, according to Chris Matthews, likes to blog in their pajamas.
On Sunday, ABC's Cokie Roberts predicted that if Ned Lamont defeated Joe Lieberman in the primary, that it would spell disaster for the Democratic party.
And, you know what, she was right.
Because, you see what Mr. Lamont's victory proved is that the little man could overcome the greatest of all odds and slay Goliath. Goliath was not just Joe Lieberman, but the entire Washington machine.
Senator Joseph Lieberman represented everything that was wrong with the Democratic party in the last decade. He was a poser. Speaking in a folksly dialect, while sucking at the tit of the Washington establishment. He's a long time favorite with Corporate America, a schill for the Moral lunatics who want to turn this country into a theocracy, a hero to his groupies in the Conservative Talk Radio circle, and of course, kissing partner to George W. Bush.
The Democratic party over the last decade became afraid of their heritage. They told the lasting legacies of FDR, Harry Truman, and JFK, to fuck-off over quasi Republican values. This generation's Democratic party was overwhelmed by Washington insiders and lobbyist goons that screwed every American that wasn't flithy rich.
The Lamont victory is a clear message to the Democratic party. Stop the appeasing and speak clearly and proudly about the issues, instead of appealing to faux centrists.
The war in Iraq is a costly and historical disgrace. The President of the United States lying to his fellow countrymen in order to send troops to fight in Iraq, so he can avenge his father's near assassination.
And, yet, a 3 term Senator from Connecticut doesn't have the courage to stand up for conviction and our country's reputation. He instead lashes out at his fellow Democrats, calling them nothing short of "unpatriotic."
The GOP has used the Religious Right as a Grass Roots campaign. Steamrolling into controlling all three branches of Government.
Now, this time, it's us Liberals who have found a way to eliminate the corrupt culture in Washington.
Joe Lieberman is pathetic. He uses the "partisan card" as a crutch. An excuse. Now, he's turning his back not just to his party but to those who supported him.
To think this gentleman is anything but "Independent" is laughable. His track record screams Republican. Independents are usually reserved for individuals fed up with the establishment, and Lieberman is the establishment's best friend.
The question of whether or not Lieberman's political career will succumb isn't going to be answered until Novemeber.
But, tonight's victory for Ned Lamont has proved that regular Americans' voice cannot be silenced by the Mainstream Media and others who view us as a rash on the ass of society.
Mr. Lamont's achieved one purpose that we dreamed of, and that was to destroy the Democratic party, so it can be rebuilt.
He became the enema that washed away a decade of blind lust for Greed, power and appeasement.
Tonight, we say thank you.
