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

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.
