Liberman cancels events because he's afraid of BLOGGERS.

Today in Pomfret, several candidates met with local Democrats. I came at the invitation of Swordsmith, another local Democrat, to this meet and greet in a part of the state I don't usually visit. The reason I went was to see how Joe Lieberman reacted to voters in a non-diner setting and how he might have changed from the JJB dinner several years ago where I first met the Senator.

Back then he was cheerful and easy going, laughing off his second defeat in national politics like it had happened to someone else. In 2000, Joe Lieberman could have traveled the country to most anywhere in the United States and have been cheered; but tonight he was too afraid to travel to a small town in his own state to make his case for renomination to a group of Democratic voters all because word leaked to the "wrong people" (us) that he would be visiting Pomfret.

That's right, Lieberman canceled at the last moment because he thought BLOGGERS might have showed up and started asking QUESTIONS. While I make it a policy never to harrass candidates no matter how obnoxious they might be, I saw too many Lamont buttons and stickers at the event to guess that Lieberman would have been received cooly at best if he had had the guts to show up.

1. It is late

I read that as Boogers...

But you have to admit that is a much more interesting topic.

7. Is he afraid of THIS?

[Lithos]

8. Maybe so

:)

2. Lieberman is so inept. It makes you wonder how he ever got elected in the

first place. And what's worse is that his ego is so big that he thinks too highly of himself to question his actions.

3. Boo!

4. Waah! Waah!

:cry: :cry:

5. He says this officially, but in the background

He does this in private!

Lieberman's new campaign poster and slogan.

6. Once Lieberman loses this election, he'll take his place on the

Carlyle Board of Directors with the rest of the warmongers.

9. I'm curious how he identifies bloggers.

If you do not like a candidate and sometimes communicate on a computer does that make you a blogger? Is there some sort of physical marker that identifies a blogger (what do they look like?) How do you differentiate a blogger from say partisan supporter for the other candidate? When did it become harassment to support a candidate?

10. Yes, Lieberman SUPPORTERS who post on places like DU = NOT A BLOGGER

12. Now that our government spies on us...

There is no differentiation between an online pundit or an individual opinion. You either support the BS or you don't. You can be sure that your membership in DU will be held against you no matter what opinion you've expressed here. See you at the camp when they come to get us.

14. That stuff is real, check your firewall from time to time.

I probably will not get as far as the camp. "Authoritarian Conservatives" have yet to really show their hand someday they will try a new "final" solution.

11. Well, I'll ask you one.

Are you truly satisfied with the level of rhetoric that's been used here in support of Lamont? Be honest. That would include the rumor someone tried to plant last week about him running as a Republican (an impossibility as the deadline for him appearing on that ballot has passed).

[countmyvote4real]

15. Eww. Who would do such a thing?

Like run as a representative from one party, but then mostly support the agenda of the opposing party once elected? Who? Who would do that?

[LoZoccolo]

16. I don't know, you tell me.

I really don't know of any. Maybe Zell Miller, but I'd have to check his voting record.

[countmyvote4real]

17. Hmmm. I'm thinking of Loco Joe.

Lieberman's voting record.

Judge for your self, but try and stick to his current MO. (2001 +)

You’ll love this one. It’s like “Highlights for Children.” Only problem is that it’s just about immigration. Still, very telling.

And where’s that pious sanctimony for impeachment over a BJ vs. genocide that Lieberman supports and consequently will not call for impeachment? (kiss, kiss)

But more to the present (bang, bang)

Whatever. It’s still a democracy and our votes still count, right? I’m still chuckling at the Zell Miller comment. That was funny in more ways than one. Bless your heart.

18. You said "mostly". n/t
