And now from my “personally I don’t get it” files: The Democratic primary in Connecticut To me, at least, it is wonderful to see an 18-year, rich, incumbent politician/King roused from office by a somewhat no body and in the words of Jackie Gleason, “How sweet it is!” and how even more sweeter it would be to me is if the whole lot of them where run out on a rail and for some straight into a prison cell. However, I personally don’t get it. How is this a victory? All that has happened is the people of Connecticut has ousted a rich, Bush siding, war supporting, out of touch with the people, 18 year incumbent king only to replace him with a rich, never knew what it was like to be poor, house in the Hamptons blue blood whom has never held office higher than a selectmen? I really like the fact the Mr. Lamont has never been a career politician that is great however, I can’t get by the successful businessman from blue-blood an East coast family. Washington has far too many of these as it stand now and we have all seen how well they do for their constituents lately. The Democratic party used too prides itself, or at least it thinks it does and used to, by always fighting for the little guys, the working man, against the rich, for the poor and the everyday American okay…so… what’s the big deal Demos? What’s the deal with the blue-blood? How does this guy know any better than Lieberman how real Americans have to live? Ah… but you see this race had nothing to do with the welfare of the people of Connecticut, America or anything that really matters. No this is about face, this is about making the party supporters happy, this is the age-old game of Democrat vs. Republican. Lieberman got the axe not because of job performance, if you can call a career politician doing anything to have a job performance, and if he was so terrible how do he hold out for 18 years? No Joe was hacked because he got too close to the enemy, too close to the other side and that can’t be tolerated. It is a sin for political parties to work together for a better country. So dance and sing demo supporters enjoy your new blue blood yes he is new and wet behind the ears but don’t worry. Within a year the old party bosses will have him as corrupt as they are and he can spend 20 years in office doing nothing but getting richer. Yup, another keen victory in the making. Micheal

retirement package, with not a care or thought in the world as to how Mr. and Mrs. Average live or should I say exist.
They are corrupted by the millions of $ donations they receive to run these campaigns and it stands to reason if you have money in the first place you will attract money for campaigning at least that's how I see it. Love and (((hugs))) from Dawnie. :-)
