Democrats Back Lamont; Lieberman Files for Independent Run
Wednesday, August 09, 2006

"Democratic leaders kept their promise Wednesday and publicly voiced their support for Senate candidate Ned Lamont, calling on incumbent Sen. Joe Lieberman to abandon his renegade run as an independent.

“I like being on your team,” Lamont told fellow Democrats. "We're going forward with a strong vision."

Lieberman's decision to file petitions for an independent run defied leaders of the Democratic Party, who called on him to unite behind political upstart Lamont, an antiwar candidate who beat the incumbent senator in the party's primary Tuesday. Lieberman supported the Iraq war; this race has been seen by many as a referendum on that issue.

Lieberman said Wednesday it would be "irresponsible and inconsistent with my principles if I were to just walk off the field" and not continue his re-election campaign."

13. A number of predominate Democratic Senators choose to back Lieberman and spit in the faces of CT dem...

democrats. "Democratic members of the senate as Senators Schumer, Clinton, Dodd and other prominent Democrats, including the then junior senator from Illinois, rushed to support the embattled Lieberman in the primary."

We are not in a war between the parties, but a war between the ruling class and us peons.

15. Yes, the the strong support for Lieberman for the primary without comparable

support for LaMont AFTER the primary, indicated to many that the Good Ole Boys Club preferred Lieberman.

4. The CT DEMS tried to deliver Lamont.,

But do you remember how many current DEM leaders went out and supported Lieberman??!?!? I blame the DEMS on this one and still do. They are the ones letting Lieberman continue on this power trip of his. They had a chance to strip him and they didn't. Shame on them. Not the state.

6. As much contempt as I have for Lieberman

I am resigned to the fact that there is nothing directly that can be done about him -

other than to pressure those in power (Reid, Obama) to do something about him.

Doesn't some of the 'Lieberman problem' rest with the Democratic Party leadership who enable him (as well as the other Blue Dogs)?

Please enlighten me.
