Lieberman challenges Lamont to debate over Katrina relief

[cal04]

Independent U.S. Senate candidate Joe Lieberman, locked in a close re-election fight after losing the Democratic primary to an anti-war candidate, challenged Democrat Ned Lamont to a debate Friday over the government's response to Hurricane Katrina.

Lieberman, at a campaign stop to tout his role in securing federal transportation dollars, accused Lamont of distorting his record as the one-year anniversary of Katrina approached.

"Any time Ned Lamont wants to debate me about what each of us did with regard to Katrina, I'm ready for the debate," Lieberman said.

Lieberman questioned what Lamont, a millionaire who made much of his fortune by founding a company that wires college campuses for cable television, did to contribute to disaster relief. "Where was Ned Lamont?" he said.

1. um, Ned Lamont was not in national office you turncoat fuck

[diddlysquat]

2. I think the primary is over, Joe.

Go away.

[ShortnFiery]

3. Just go away Joe!

We don't want to go out with you any more. :grr:

Although you've abandoned The Democratic Party, you still STALK us for our vote.

Nope, you are not a Democrat.

You are a traitor to Our Party as well as a sore loser. :puke:

[gratuitous]

4. Joe, you confirmed Brown as head of FEMA

Ned didn't. End of "debate."

12. That is EXACTLY what Lamont should say

Because it cuts to the heart of the problem with Lieberman and the other closet Republicans and far right enablers.

5. How much did Lieberman personally donate to the cause?

Or is he only talking about govt. money. I watched the debate between those two and Lieberman was pitiful. Ned needs to tell him to bring it on.

[Caution]

6. Why should he debate with a fringe candidate from a party of 1?

[Lerkfish]

7. I agree with Skinner: Lamont needs to debate Schlessinger (sp?)

and completely ignore the third party candidate.

8. make it a 3 way debate or nothing

it will force the republicans to look at their candidate.

[jenmito]

9. I agree...

Just like Santorum is trying to do in PA with the Green party candidate and Casey.

10. So... Mr. Lie... Where Is YOUR Katrina Receipt???

How much did YOU personally give?? Oh how I wish you would read HALF the stuff we say about you!!

You're nothing but a power hungry SORE LOSER!! Besides, if you still say you're a Dem, you need to debate a REPUKE... you stupid PUKE yourself!!!

:puke: Okay, I'm outta here for now... I'm so mad about so many things I need to find some "nails" to chew before I simply "go off" and get BARRED from DU!

As I just posted somewhere else, I can't even go outside for a walk on the beach!! RED TIDE is here and it stinks as soon as I step out my front door. Plus so far this year... no hurricanes but NOW looks like one is brewing. I live about a mile from the Gulf on the west coast of FL, so we shall see. However, where I live we have been very very very lucky for the past 20 years. Charlie was headed straight for us, but hit about 25 miles further south!
