I will not link to the offending comment or source. I am certain that you have all seen them before so no sense in giving them any more voice than they already have. But I still find myself stunned to see examples of it.
How does any sane Democrat argue that Joe Lieberman should have been left alone, because gee look at him running as an independant. How is the fact that many of us felt he was a traitor to progressive values and should be removed from the senate mean that we are to blame? Especially considering that old low joe has proved since the Democratic Party primary in Connecticut that he isn't really a Democrat.
What spawned this personal rant, was a blogger actually blaming Kos for the fact that if Lieberman wins reelection, we really need to pick up 7 seats in the senate to negate him. Well no, I'm sorry. I think old low joes actions, show that Kos and many of the rest of us were right, any majority in the senate that relied on old low joes support was a paper majority that he would throw aside whenever necessary to increase his own personal stature.
Now is not the time to start blaming Democrats because they backed Lamont over the pretensious droopy dog senator from Conneticut. Now is the time for ALL Democrats to explain that a vote for Joe, is not a vote for an Independant Democrat. It is a vote for the Bush administration. It is a vote for torture. It is a vote against womens rights. It is a vote to sacrifice all on the altar of holy "tied for third" jomentum. It is not a vote for a Democrat, he threw that out when he ignored the will of the party.
So that's my challenge to you now. If you want to call yourself a Democrat, then start backing the Democratic nominee and stop helping the neocon get reelected to a fourth term.
