Connecticut Votes for More War!

Newscasters have called Connecticut bipolar, bizarro and schizophrenic because we voted for anti-war Lamont in the primary but went back to pro-war Lieberman for the senate race. (They were basing those comments on election predictions that unfortunately came true.)

Ned Lamont who was against the war, did not get the votes; Lieberman who ran as an Indpendent and accepted lots of money from the Repubs, and is a super hawk, did win. Real Republican candidate, Schlessinger got no support from the Repubs.

CT decided to put Chris Shays, war supporter, back in office even though he's traveled to Iraq so often it makes me wonder if he has another wife and more kids there. Even witnessing the death and destruction done to a country and our troops for no reason, Shays still supports the GD war. We voted him in so I guess we in Connecticut like and support the war in Iraq and we aren't representative of most Americans who say: Get our troops out of Iraq.

But, there's a bright side: we have the majority in congress, and have picked up other seats too.

Looks like the Connecticut National Guard will be calling up more troops to serve in Iraq since the state is so supportive of the war. Shame on Connecticut!


I'm anti war and I approve this blog entry!

This is not a funny subject but I love the way you ended it with your approval like those dorky ads I see on t.v. I thought of you this morning when I saw the democrats won the majority in congress. Hopefully things will change. I think Americans desperately want change. I'm surprised that so many people are in support of the war that seems to have no end. I'm ashamed to admit that I once supported the decision to go to war but now, it seems I've lost my stomach for it.
It is sickening.

I'm shocked Mary-really. Following NY and CT have been a big deal around here. Lieberman. What a weasel. And his smug face. Ugg.

Hey but Spitzer won over here so we are all prepared for major spring cleaning. I'm still sorry about CT though.

Lieberman is a weasel. But I'm all for taking the house and hopefully we'll get even more in the Senate. Besides Rumsfeld resigned! Maybe we should now call him runs-feld.....please do let the door hit you in the ass.

MB...Ned never had a shot...he lost too many votes to republicans and hawkish democrats.

Its too bad...but at least the Dems won the house and senate :)

Hey blog buddies! I'm feeling more upbeat now that we have some major changes going on...I do still feel ashamed of my state.

Lieberman has promised to work with Republicans and Democrats...sure....

Can we get more kitten (and dog) pictures... Looks like you are done with the Lieberman stuff. It is (unfortunately) over... but looks like things will be a little different now overall.

Oh. and maybe another Grandma story, too.

Yeah.
