Democrats vs. Lieberman

The Washington Post's Shailagh Murray updates us on the moonbats' war against Joe Lieberman. The moonbats' war against Lieberman is based almost entirely on Lieberman's support for the Iraq war.
Now, Lamont has turned the Democratic primary into a horse race, giving Lieberman his first real test since he joined the Senate 18 years ago, according to Democratic operatives and analysts in Connecticut. Party leaders were so rattled by the challenge that Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-NV) called Lamont asking him to back off. "Some of the party brass said, 'Ned, don't jeopardize a safe seat,'" Lamont recently told students at Southern Connecticut State University, who gathered for a meet-and-greet session. "But you're not going to lose a senator. You're going to gain a Democrat."
I suspect that Old Harry doesn't want that type of moonbat Democrat in Washington. It's laughable to think that Lamont could beat Lieberman in the general election. He'd get slapped silly, which would be a major embarassment for the DNC.
Lieberman caused a stir recently by floating the possibility that he might enter the general-election race as an independent, were he to lose the Democratic primary. To do that, he would have to collect 7,500 signatures and file them by Aug. 9, a day after the primary. That means he would have to start the petition process even as he is campaigning for the Democratic nomination against Lamont. But now Lieberman describes speculation of an independent candidacy as "greatly overblown."
Sen. Lieberman is downplaying that threat but you can bet that he'd follow through with that threat. It's about time the DNC got embarassed for alienating the few sensible Senate Democrats.

What most gets me about the illegal immigration issue is the liberals' blatant hypocrisy. They claim to care for these folks' human rights, but all they really want is someone to clean their homes, raise their children, tend their lawns and pools, and pick their produce cheaply. They are only interested in keeping the immigrants in indentured servitude.

Snow Rebuts Misinformation

According to this Bill Sammon article , Tony Snow isn't letting the Agenda Media get away with their misinformation campaign. Here's a sampling of his first rebuttals: "CBS News misleadingly reports that only 8 million seniors have signed up for Medicare prescription drug coverage," Wednesday's missive said. But 37 million seniors have coverage. ---------- On Tuesday, the White House railed against USA Today's misleading Medicare story. "USA Today claims poor, often minority Medicare beneficiaries are not enrolling in Medicare drug coverage," the press office complained. But by April, more than 70 percent of eligible African Americans, more than 70 percent of eligible Hispanics, and more than 75 percent of eligible Asian Americans are enrolled or have retiree drug coverage. Thank God for Tony. This is the best hiring in ages. No longer will reporters get away with their misinformation because Tony is an admitted "information
