Comments on: “To Put The National Interest Above Partisan Interest.” http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2006/06/17/to-put-the-national-interest-above-partisan-interest/ Summum nec metuas diem, nec optes - Marcus Valerius Martialis Tue, 02 Aug 2011 22:27:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Black Jack http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2006/06/17/to-put-the-national-interest-above-partisan-interest/comment-page-1/#comment-6212 Black Jack Sun, 18 Jun 2006 17:04:57 +0000 http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2006/06/17/to-put-the-national-interest-above-partisan-interest/#comment-6212 Once Dems forfeited their public integrity to defend Bill Clinton, the gates to their own political hell were thrust wide open. Zell Miller, and others, tried to warn them, but they refused to listen. Now, Joe Lieberman is again trying to sound the alarm, but again Dems stubbornly refuse to hear a voice of reason. There is simply no place in today's Democrat Party for either a differing opinion, or a moderate voice. Consequently, Dems have completely marginalized themselves, demonstrated they are unfit to lead the nation, and proved they are not only incapable of rational thought, but also even of modest attempts at self-preservation. They are truly a national party no more. Dems have sown the wind and will reap only the whirlwind. Mid-term election results will again shatter their ambitions, but won't alter their illusions one little bit. That's exactly how crazy they have actually become.

Lieberman's metaphor is correct, a "holy war" against a pretty reliable Dem just because he's not anti-war is short-sighted for the good of the party.

I hope for the Dem party's sake, he kicks Lamont's hinder...hard. The Dem party is in a serious identity crisis, and they don't want to admit that moderate Dems and Reps agree on most issues. The big difference is that the Rep party actively sought out the middle ground, while the Dems floundered. Now the Dems are busy trying to define themselves by contrast (i.e. 'this is what we are not, everything they stand for is bad'). It will be the end of the Dem party as a significant national party if they allow their shrill 'anti everything Republican' fringe to define what their party is for. And that would be bad for American politics. Wow, Sen L. is right. I hope for the Dem party’s sake, he kicks Lamont’s hinder…hard.

That statement sure does say it all. A three term U.S. Senator widely known for his knowledge about terrorism comparing primaries, a crucial part of American democracy to terrorism is enough to make any thinking person wonder if the Senator is still fit to serve.
