Anti-War Lamont 17 Points Behind Lieberman in CT Senate Race

<p>Lieberman should consider becoming a Republican. The far-lefties have dumped him out of the Democrat boat.</p>

2

<p>He should, especially since the Republicans have dumped their own candidate. If they were wise, they’d get behind a whole bunch of pro-choice Democrats.</p>

<p>Lieberman’s a solid Senator. Of course, I’m not a single-issue voter.</p>

<p>The Democrats need to start talking about how they’ll register and confiscate all firearms in the U.S. if they get elected. That always energizes the Democrat base! :)</p>

<p>Not a Democrat here, but they don’t need to do a thing. They still have one word up their sleaze, which will play itself out in the next two years: Abramoff.</p>

<p>Ney gets to model those prison stripes for Hastert & Co.</p>

<p>I have heard that one reason the Japanese did not attack the U.S. mainland with infantry in WWII was because they knew most U.S. citizens were armed. Apparently, they feared getting shot up by citizens before the military even could find them.</p>

<p>Nail 'em and jail 'em. If Republicans are guilty - throw the book at them! Make the sleaze leave - Republican or Democrat. I don’t care… :)</p>

<p>Parent2noles: I’m sure you have heard that. Which says a lot about the places you hang out and hear things, if not a lot about the Japanese in WWII.</p>

<p>I’ll see if I can find a cite. It could have been from all my drunk, stupid, bigoted, redneck buddies looking for someone to beat up, but I’m not sure.</p>

<p>Oops, did I mention that they all still beat their wives and kids?</p>

<p>P2n - I’ll save you the trouble - it’s just another adolescent fantasy of the gun nuts: <a href=“Page Not Found - Backwoods Home Magazine”>Page Not Found - Backwoods Home Magazine;

<p>“It could have been from all my drunk, stupid, bigoted, redneck buddies looking for someone to beat up, but I’m not sure.”</p>

<p>Got that right…but not all of them. No need to paint with such a broad brush.</p>

<p>I found that story about Massad Ayoob, too. Perhaps that is the origin of the information, wherein he relates the story of Bob Menard, who supposedly heard it first-hand from a Japanese military officer. Ayoob is apparently unable to find Menard (reportedly ~80+ yoa) to confirm or get more details about the story. For me, this is too suspect.</p>

<p>However, with regard to the Hawaiian Islands, there may in fact be some basis for the information: </p>

<p>Without having read this book, however, I will concede this information about Japanese reluctance to invade could well be just misunderstood or even myth. :rolleyes:</p>
