The Raw Story | Kerry endorses Lamont over Lieberman in general election

United States Senator John Kerry (D-MA) today came out in support Ned Lamont's bid to be the next Senator from Connecticut, RAW STORY has learned.

Calling the result of the vote, "a strong statement about the current course in Iraq," Kerry has "strongly" endorsed Lamont over current Democratic Senator Joe Lieberman.

"I’ve worked with Joe Lieberman since our days in college together," Kerry said in a statement today, "and I respect his many contributions to our public life. But the Democratic Party stands for something, and the Democratic Party in Connecticut has made a choice."

"The events of the past months make even more clear," Kerry added, "the differences Democratic leadership would make for our country on Iraq, in making America safer, in having an economy that works for everyone, and in achieving energy independence. That’s who we are as Democrats, and that’s what we’ll be fighting for. It’s time for all Democrats to come together to support Ned Lamont. It’s time for Democrats to unite.”

And so the Democrats will be seen as cowards, and the Republicans will win again. Nice job! With the idiots Democrats are putting up for our highest office, it's really hard to take them seriously these days. I guess I'm starting to lean towards the right now... oh well.

Ya know... we need a new Democrat system to pick candidates because it seems the South has no say, and that's the demographic which is needed to win. You pick some yankee, anti-war, anti-everything, and expect to win... you're mistaken. Democrats need a Southern Democrat platform, you know, something realistic and more with how most of the country thinks and feels. He doesn't have to be an intellectual... GW... but should be able to articulate the core values and beliefs most Americans can relate with. Having someone who is "anti-Iraq" is going to lose. Because that means you don't support our troops, it means you may humiliate America in your eagerness to get our troops out. We had enough humiliation in the 70s... and I don't think we should run from a fight, especially against terrorists. I don't think most of America would support that as well.

It's one thing to be angry at why we're there, but to let that anger make you stupid is another matter entirely. And I'm thinking yet again, Democrats are going to lose because they're just being stupid again. Step back, feel the pulse of America instead of your own, then come up with a Democratic platform that isn't so freekin biased towards yankee attitude. But no, nobody has the balls to inform yankee democrats that they're all screwed up. :P

Lebanon demands ceasefire as death toll climbs

Lebanon demands ceasefire as death toll climbs

Had Lebanon not allowed Hezbola to fester within its borders, then all that's happening now would not have occured. The blood of innocents that happened to be killed is on Lebanon's hands, not Israel's. If Lebanon truly wants the fighting to end, they can do it by getting rid of Hezbola. (I've seen "Hezbola" spelled different ways so I'm spelling it my own way too)

Hezbollah rockets on Wednesday reached the deepest into Israel so far: One fell on the town of Beit Shean some 42 miles from the border, and another strayed into the West Bank. Fierce fighting, meanwhile, continued just inside southern Lebanon, as Hezbollah guerrillas clashed with Israeli forces near the border village of Taibeh. An Israeli missile destroyed a house in the village and killed a family of three, according to Lebanese security officials.

Hello! There's like... military conflict going on if you haven't heard the bombs and stuff exploding. So if you have a family or otherwise living in southern lebanon, get out!
