Carol Platt Liebau: Democrat Strategery

Democrat Strategery

Even as Joe Lieberman opens up a substantial lead over Ned Lamont, Democrats consider stripping him of his seniority if he wins -- perhaps as the price of dissent from their anti-war orthodoxy?

Imagine if Republicans tried to treat their dissenters that way. Can you imagine the MSM outrage if conservatives tried to chasten the media's beloved "mavericks" in a similar fashion?

Big party Tent Party. No Christians or Jews allowed. At least not practicing. Although it is amazing that Lieberman is a proponent of partial birth abortion.

Gotta go with wile on this one. The Dem Party is doing what it's supposed to do, support their nominee. As an independent, obviously Joe ain't the nominee. But as those comments from everyone else are appropriate pre-primary election, the Dems showed their typical lack of tolerance for those who don't march in lockstep with their wacky ways.

Except that McCain wasn't nominated.

(And your Dittohead is showing again.)

You mean like how the Republicans and their Christian Right backers wanted to strip Arlen Specter of his position on the Judiciary Committee--leaving Arlen a gilded gelding?

What a hypocritical maroon, Ms. Platt Liebau.

Clark,

I don't know the deal in Florida, but as I understand it, Connecticut is largely Democratic. This is born out by Shlesinger getting only single digits in polls that try to predict the outcome in at election time. Not much there to support.

As to twistie's comments,

Many Republican's believe Spector to be a poor representative of conservative thought. Lieberman was aligned with the party on almost every single plank EXCEPT for his position on the war in Iraq. Hardly a good comparison.

Twister,

You're comment about Spector was a good and valid point. Your "maroon" comment destroyed its effect and was way out of line.
