Neither one of the democratic candidates has caught fire, and it's difficult to imagine either of them beating Rell.

Never saw an ounce of charisma, which surprised me, because I figured he'd be a real firebrand.<BR/><BR/>A friend saw Lamont speak at some kind of gay rights event, and she said he only talked about the war. That's weird. It's a big issue, but is it really big enough to talk about nothing else but that for 6 months?<BR/><BR/>I am as annoyed with Joe's position on the war as anyone, but I'm not going to waste my time on Lamont.

I strongly support Lieberman of the two, but Lieberman's positions on some issues, like the UAE ports deal (which he seems to have backed off of now) really irked me. I have been pleased, though, overall with Lieberman, and think that he is the better candidate for the position.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911596666470857994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214263.post-1140843817237487972006-02-25T00:03:00.000-05:002006-02-25T00:03:00.000-05:00A new Saddam will rise to power.He'll also be a Su...A new Saddam will rise to power.He'll also be a Sunni,Secular a Batthist and every bit as ruthless as the original.<BR/><BR/>He'll kill hundreds of thousands consolidating his power and if the Iraqi people are lucky in 20 yrs they'll be back to where they were before poppy Bush's ambassador told Saddam the USA didn't care if he invaded Kuwaitctkeithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225806283179995491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214263.post-1140842506855185732006-02-24T23:41:00.000-05:002006-02-24T23:41:00.000-05:00So much for peacekeeping.I wonder what will become...So much for peacekeeping.<BR/><BR/>I wonder what will become of Iraq when we leave?Genghis Connhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13042849182723767087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214263.post-1140841913276313502006-02-24T23:31:00.000-05:002006-02-24T23:31:00.000-05:00Funny thing GC,If you watched Fox news today you w...Funny thing GC,<BR/><BR/>If you watched Fox news today you would have noticed that the new Republican position is Strikingly similar to what Murtha said a few months ago.<BR/><BR/>The civil war is on and "pulling back to the periphery" was what every Military guy on Fox(who are really stooges for the RNC)was saying we should do.ctkeithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225806283179995491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214263.post-1140841582401478322006-02-24T23:26:00.000-05:002006-02-24T23:26:00.000-05:00Good post GC.As I stated many times before, 2006 i...Good post GC.<BR/><BR/>As I stated many times before, 2006 is shaping up to be one of the most interesting campaign seasons we've had around here in a long time.<BR/><BR/>What a interesting time we live in.
