Against Lieberman

Hello all,

I was thinking if there would be enough support to place a "true" Democract against Joe "I Love Bush" Lieberman? This man simply nauseates me. Everytime I look at his face I feel like puking. How can we replace that pathetic appeaser of Corporate Bushists? That status-quo, Republican-In-A-Democrat's-Ticket, Bush-Lovin piece of crap with a real Progressive who will do some serious butt-kicking in a Congress half filled with corporate boot-lickers?? Can we raise some serious money to support a progressive candidate or stage a real protest against DINOs like Lieberman, preferably in front of their houses to put them on notice?? Just thinking..and cursing..But Oh Well!!

•  you have to get him in the primary

  •  There is someone..

    Can't even remember his name at the moment. He has taught at Yale and run for office before. The sad fact is, I have not gotten much of an indication that the state party is willing to go to the mat to push for someone else in a primary. It's hard to get a grassroots effort going when the state apparatus is not helping - see Pennacchio..

•  That is the problem

  The same corporations who own Bush own half or more of the Democratic politicians. The power structure behind the scenes are pretty much the same. Unless "real" people start waking up and demand justice, we will be stuck between Coke and Pepsi..I am afraid..

•  You'll get no argument from me, bub.

  

  I have done my fair share of complaining about Lieberman here... as have many before you.

  Here's whatcha do:

  Click this link Kick Lieberman Out and scroll down till you see John Orman's name.

  Click the link to donate to his campaign.

  I call him John "The Volcano" Orman.

  Because it's Joe Versus the Volcano, and I'm rooting for the Volcano.

  •  Joe Orman

    My 8th grade English teacher went to school with him and his wife. She even has a button for him on her website.

    (NOTE: Her blog is apolitical, but good for a read on education and parenting issues.)
