Democrats BETRAYING America's rank-and-file Democratic voters: first the TORTURE-12, now more 'Dems' for Lieberman....

TRAITOR Joe Lieberman is doing pretty well on his "Zell Miller of 2006.. WRECK the Democrat Party" campaign, just as he TREACHEROUSLY betrayed those MILLIONS of voters who voted for the Gore-Lieberman ticket in 2000 by (let us count the ways) #1. polishing Dick Cheney's apple in the one VP debate, Lieberman GIVING CHENEY a FREE PASS for Cheney's SELLING OIL FIELD EQUIPMENT, as Chairman and CEO of Halliburton, to IRAQ all the way up to late 1999 (in violation of the US-enforced UN embargo on that nation); #2. refusing to do the general attack-work that any good VP candidate should do, freeing up the pres. candidate to appear above the fray; #3. refusing to drop his senate reelection race, demonstrating a lack of faith in his own VP candidacy! #4. SELLING DISENFRANCHISED AMERICAN VOTERS DOWN_THE_RIVER by REFUSING to SIGN_ON_TO the Black Congressional Caucus' demands for a Congressional Investigation into SYSTEMATIC VOTE FRAUD by Republican authorities in Florida in that 2000 campaign.

AS A RESULT of Lieberman's CALLOW and TREACHEROUS VP campaign of 2000, Democrats, EVEN TODAY, face the prospect of REPUBLICANS shouting "DEMOCRATIC VOTE FRAUD!" in each and every election, despite the fact that it is REPUBLICANS who have almost certainly manipulated crucial votes. (See Robert Kennedy's article posted here at C-dems.)

THIS is the leadership that THESE TREACHEROUS "Democrats" SUPPORT...

... Just as JOE LIEBERMAN is the TOP OF OUR LIST for the "TRAITOR-TORTURE-TWELVE.'

COWARDLY Senate "DEMOCRATS" who voted for Bush's STALINIST-GESTAPO TORTURE BILL:
Joe Lieberman (D-CT) * * * Mary Landrieu (D-LA)
Tim Johnson (D-SD) * * * Robert Menendez (D-NJ)
Thomas Carper (D-DE) * * * Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ
Bill Nelson (D-FL * * * Ben Nelson (D-NE)
Mark Pryor (D-AR) * * * Jay Rockefeller (D-WV)
Ken Salazar (D-CO) * * * Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)

Cowardly "Demorats" who SUPPORT TREACHEROUS JOE LIEBERMAN, Karl Rove RETHUGLICAN in all but name:

David Boren, John Breaux, Richard Bryan, Dennis DeConcini, J. Bennett Johnston, Bob Kerrey.

[Note: Bob Kerrey was a principle of the 9-11 Commission WHITEWASH, the one that DID NOT FIND FAULT WITH ONE SINGLE SUPERVISOR, ranking member, or cabinet official for the 9-11 terror attacks debacle.]

Lieberman Won't Forget
[To HELL with you, Joe!]
September 30, 2006
By Mark Pazniokas, The Hartford Courant

Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman is willing to forgive but not forget Chris Dodd and others who abandoned him after he lost the Democratic primary to Ned Lamont and became a petitioning candidate.
[WE HOPE THAT MILLIONS OF DEMOCRATIC VOTERS, and ALL of Connecticut's Democratic voters, DO NOT FORGIVE Joe Lieberman for his TREACHEROUS 2000 VP campaign.]

In an online interview this week with PajamasMedia, conducted by novelist and screenwriter Roger L. Simon, Lieberman was asked about the break with his old allies.
"I'm talking specifically about Chris Dodd, Al Gore, Ted Kennedy, people like that, none of whom are supporting your campaign," Simon asked. "How do you feel about that? And will you be able to forgive them?
"Oh, I'll forgive them. I probably won't forget, to tell you the truth," Lieberman replied. "And, you know, this is politics. And it's been disappointing."

A Little Help From Their Friends
Meanwhile, Lieberman campaign aides announced that their guy is getting some love from Democrats, albeit mainly from a list of people who used to hold office.

"Dems for Joe" includes a slew of former Clinton administration officials, ex-House members and a half-dozen former Senate colleagues: David Boren of Oklahoma, John Breaux of Louisiana, Richard Bryan of Nevada, Dennis DeConcini of Arizona, J. Bennett Johnston of Louisiana and Bob Kerrey of Nebraska.

Lamont is being helped this week by two "formers" who are potential presidential candidates, former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner and retired Gen. Wesley Clark. The two moderates - a group Lamont needs to win - are firing off e-mails urging folks to support Lamont.

Lamont Calls For End To `Earmarks'

On Friday, Lamont called for lobbying reforms, including a ban on gifts, in a conference call with reporters. Lieberman once voted against a gift ban.

Lamont apparently was inspired by a new congressional report exposing stronger links between the White House and convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Lamont also said Congress should end the practice of anonymously inserting appropriations known as "earmarks" into the budget, saying it invites mischief - such as favors for contributors.

He pledged he would use earmarks for legitimate projects in Connecticut until the rules are changed and the practice is banned.

Lamont also has promised to accept no special-interest money, but Lieberman's spokesman, Dan Gerstein, said the incumbent has a "stellar record" on reform and need not apologize for taking PAC money.

"The fact is, many national Democrats accept hundreds of thousands of dollars in PAC money, including many of Ned Lamont's supporters like John Kerry and Mark Warner," Gerstein said.

It's All About The Give And Take

With today marking the end of the quarterly financial reporting period, the candidates are doing their Jerry Lewis telethon host impressions, urging one last donation to put them over the top.

Diane Farrell, the Democrat running in the 4th Congressional District, urged anyone interested in her $1,000 event with Sen. Hillary Clinton to contribute now and not wait until the Oct. 8 party.

Lamont and Lieberman also are among those making late appeals.

Ad Maker's Work A Bit Racier In Bay State

The handiwork of Lamont's ad guy, Bill Hillsman, is featured on Lieberman's campaign website. The commercial is a spot Hillsman did for Christy Mihos, an independent candidate for governor in Massachusetts.

"Now, we have nothing against Bill Hillsman personally. He's one of the most creative political ad makers around," Lieberman's campaign said on its blog. "But we do think it's worth noting that the Lamont campaign, which along with its friends in the blogosphere have been mercilessly attacking Joe Lieberman for running as an independent candidate, is using a media strategist with a long history of promoting - you guessed it - independent candidates."

The Lamontistas, however, seem most critical of Lieberman's going third-party after losing the primary. A glance at Hillsman's list of third-party and independent candidates does not turn up anyone who jumped ship after losing a primary.

Incidentally, the commercial is a tad edgier than anything Hillsman has aired in Connecticut. It is a cartoon in which Mihos approaches a group of engineers and politicians and asks them about the problem-plagued Big Dig project.

Their response is to bend over in an anatomically impossible manner and stick their heads up their, uh, well ...
