If Joe Lieberman Loses His Senate Seat tonite, I will Become A Rerpublican ( maybe)
I was originally going to write an article entitled The Reluctant Democrat. I wanted to discuss why its hard to be a democrat at this point in time. Having watched FOX and CNN continuously since July 12th ( due to the war in Israel and Lebanon), I saw the disgusting campaign in Connecticut.
Joe Lieberman is a gentleman. I have never experiencced him to be a negative campaigner. He has a gentle quality. I watched the bloggers and technologically savvy tear him apart. I watched the anti war liberals come out. They are the spoilers of the democratic party. They are liberals only to a point. If Joe Lieberman loses this election, it will be their fault. They will have taken a calm voice out of the senate. I will work hard against these liberals.
I would prefer to call myself a radical. I believe all people have equal righta. I dont' believe the liberals can take that kind of stance, They can spoil an election but they have no spine. Their breaking point is "gay rights". They are so terrified of losing an election that they "moderate" their position when it comes to gay rights.
Take any liberal and you will get a wishy washy politician. They can only stand up for certain things.At least George Bush is who he is. While I am not a fan of George Bush, I respect his ability to focus. I don't agree with him on many issues but I always know where he stands.
With the democratic liberals, you can watch them change their position. Well if a man like Joe Lieberman , who stands for much more then his vote in Iraq, losses this election, I will offer to campaign for him.
There does need to be a third party. Let the liberals have the democratic party. There needs to be a party of humanity. People who care about the liberty of everyone. I don't say this to some like some bubble gum commercial, i just believe that this world and its fears must be conquered. War and more wars will only continue unless there is a committment to understand our own fears and our own prejudice.
The Democratic party has lost its appeal for me. Joe Lieberman is a person willing to negotiate and has palyed an important role in the Senate. I hope the people of Connecticut remember that tonight.
