Lamont's political views were socialist. During the 1930s he was sympathetic to Soviet communism, is what the bio of Ned's uncle Corliss states. Apparently this guy was also some sort of g-dless secular humanist.

I doubt the apple falls far from the tree. Thank G-d the Nutmeggers appear to have wised up.

Maybe McCain'll put Joe on the ticket. I'd vote for that.

Of course, I'd rather vote for Rudy, but the Jesus Freaks ain't having that.

Here's a screwy question. Suppose that Bush were to drop dead tomorrow. Whom would President Cheney pick to be the new vice president?

I see you are bak in full Penske-form. (Or, in musical terms, I can hear the cuckoo singing in the cuckoo-berry tree.)

I see you are back in full politics of personal destruction mode. Are you suggesting that Corliss wasn't a socialist, sympathetic to the commies or Ned's uncle?

Please cite your sources for any of the same such assertions.

A lot of hosts will shut you down if you exceed your alloted bandwidth. It looks like the site got more usage than they expected, perhaps because they screwed up or perhaps because hackers were sending too much traffic. Steinfels doesn't appear to know what she's talking about, because being having the site "broken into" is different from having too much traffic.

Non-responsive to the charge that you were spreading lies. It had nothing to do wiht paying the bill, there is some mischief afoot and the probably culpable parties are limited to Lamont or the radical leftist CT Dems, who are the party of Lamont.

Those communists were notorious for hacking into web sites. Despicable.

(a) Red China uses the web and limits access to it in nefarious ways, but (b) technically, I meant figuratively, as in using illegal, immoral or other dirty tricks to subvert the will of the people.

If Cheney were to pick Condi to be his VP, it would only be because it's a powerless job. But Cheney would surely want to set up someone closer to him to be the next President.

Who? Give some suggestions of viable possible candidates? McCain? Delay? Jeb? Rudy?

It was completely responsive to that charge, asshat. If you pay for certain level of usage, and use exceeds that, you get shut down because you haven't paid the bill for more usage. This can happen because ordinary use exceeds what you expect -- say, because you were expected to run unopposed in the primaries -- or because "hackers" cause extraordinary use.


Why do you hate America? Why do you keep trying to divide us with hate?

No, I would never presume to contradict a source like Wikipedia.

My comment goes to your suggestion that if you have a relative who was a socialist 75 years ago, you must be a commie. You have moved from the politics of personal destruction to the politics of destruction by association.

"Viable?" In this context, that's someone who can get confirmed by Congress. (The Senate? I don't remember the West Wing episode well enough.) If Cheney picked McCain or Giuliani, I suspect they'd get confirmed, but I don't know why he would pick them. You'd think he would want to pick someone like himself, but younger. I don't think he's particularly close to DeLay. Or Jeb Bush, for that matter.

I really don't know who he'd pick. Is he close to anyone in the House or the Senate?

1. I am arsehat, if anything.

2. All of this is a thinly veiled attempt to take unwarranted and false shots at Lieberman. I might ask you why you hate Israel? what kind of anti-semitic agenda does the left have going on?

So stipulated.

Poor Lieberman -- always the victim. Like in his vice-presidential debate with Dick Cheney. But I digress. You racist, pedophile conservatives have gone too far.

If I hate Israel -- and I don't, but anyhoo -- at least I hate a foreign country. Stop hating America, traitor. Go back to molesting small children or race-baiting disabled veterans, or whatever sick, twisted pastimes you had before the invention of the interwebs.

Nice smart arse comment, but if you dissent from some portion (he was a socialist, a communist sympathiser or Ned's uncle) it is easy to google and try to find actual evidence of that one or more of those as assertions is false, or not. For now I stand by Wikipedia.

Dissent. Nurture and the affect of family of origins values are huge influences on a person's belief and value system, at least according to the soft science of psychology, which the left uses to justify quite a lot of its secular humanist morally relativistic social agenda. If someone is raised in a family of socialist communist-sympathisers there is some chance that there is a likelihood that his belief system was affected by his upbringing. Given his membership in the Democrat party I'd say its more likely that the affect was to skew his beliefs leftward, i.e. towards socialistic systems, rather than the right way.
