The state doesn’t get it. Out goes a strong liberal senator, Joe Lieberman, because of one issue — Iraq.

No small issue, to be sure, but one that has obsessed the hate-filled leftists of MoveOn, Michael Moore and George Soros — to name just a few misguided, unpatriotic cowards.

Lieberman was a man nominated by acclamation six years ago to be the Democrat vice-Presidential candidate. Good enough for that, but not good enough to represent his state, where the sons of the wealthy Darien residents can boast that they’re the toughest kids on the pond.

Running to Ned Lamont, the very wealthy Democrat who bashes Wal Mart while owning thousands of their shares, were the usual Democrat cowards, Kerry, Bayh, Clinton, Lieberman’s co-Connecticut Senator Dodd. One thinks if this had been a battle to the death, these vultures would be picking pieces out of Lieberman’s body.

Here’s the deal, folks. Just because you feel safe that terrorists won’t target the Westport Playhouse or your golf courses doesn’t mean that these islamofascists aren’t out there trying to kill us.

Neville Chamberlain must have been from Connecticut.

Those who voted for this puppet Lamont said they were voting more against Lieberman than for Lamont. What a way to take care of your state. Let’s go for an unknown quantity because we don’t like one thing about the known quantity that has done so much for Connecticut.
