| If Lamont wins primary, he wants Lieberman to back him |
| 2006-06-13 |
| A new radio ad that started Monday challenges U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., to support Democrat Ned Lamont if Lamont wins the Aug. 8 primary. In the ad, Lamont says he will support Lieberman in the general election if Lieberman wins the primary. Lieberman has not ruled out running as an unaffiliated candidate in the November election. "Joe, let's both go to the Democratic primary on Aug. 8 and let the people of Connecticut decide," Lamont says in the ad. "I'll pledge to back you 100 percent if you win. And for the good of the party, you'll pledge to support me 100 percent if I'm victorious. What do you say senator? May the best Democrat win." |

| #9 If Lieberman were to jump parties, that would strengthen the radicals and put pressure on the democrat "moderates" of the DLC, especially Hillary. |

| #6 I hope Lamont wins the Primary so Lieberman can switch parties. It would be a great lesson to the Kos Kids if Joe says "I did not leave the Democratic Party. The Demorcratic Party left me." Al |

| #5 If Lieberman were to run not as a Democrat the Republicans would be foolish not to offer him a Jeffords deal and pull their candidate. |

| #4 "Joe Lieberman is George W. Bush's favorite Democrat. Joe Lieberman is a Zionist stooge who supported the illegal war for oil begun by Bush for his Halliburton and Enron cronies, and Bush's racist tax cuts and genocidal globalization. Worse yet, he's a religious fanatic. Joe Lieberman isn't a real Democrat, he's a traitor to everytyhing we stand for--but if he beats me in the primary, I'll back him 100%. "I'm Ned Lamont, and I approve this message that Kos wrote for me. God knows I'm paying him enough for it, him and his tinfoil-hatted--say what? . . . the mic's still on? Well shut the damned thing--" |

| #2 Nah, just bring up that he's sponsored by the Kos Kiddies, and let the good people of Connecticut know what kind of comments get posted on there on a regular basis. Sure, the state has members of the "unreality" based community, but not enough to elect one of their own. |

| #1 Hell, have the Republican party back him as an Indepednat - like Jumpin Jim Jefords is for the Dems. Major difference is Joe isnt jumping, he's being pushed by the Kos-led loon-lemming moonbat wing of the Dim party. |
