Bull Moose in effect calls Gore a coward....says he lacks courage.

He then gives kudos to Donna Brazile for saying she will support Lieberman.



Thanks, Marshall Wittmann, non-Democrat, proud independent, Democrats turned Republican turned Independent again....thanks for offering such critique from the lofty offices of the DLC where you blog. Al Gore is still the man who should have been president, and you best hold your criticism.

She is as trustworthy to the Democrats as Al-Qaeda is to our military.

The Bull Moose is an unofficial blog sponsored by the Democratic Leadership Council. Although the Bull Moose has a deep affinity for the New Donkey, he is an independent in the tradition of Theodore Roosevelt's Progressive Party of 1912.

The Bull Moose advocates a progressive politics of national greatness that promotes a strong national defense, economic justice, political reform and national service. The Moose hopes that Democrats, Republicans and Independents who share this vision will join together to forge a new politics that defies the current partisan polarization.

And effing sad that is!

Lieberman is showing himself to be mentally unstable. Good for Gore to not wade into CT politics. I think Brazile will be surprised by the lack of enthusiasm for Lieberman by common people when she visits this state. She might even get challenged by some local residents about her blind support for Lieberman and his bad decision making.

I'd like to send Donna a DOD form with her name on it, so she can sign up and go fight in Iraq.

Wonder what, or who they are scared of? Gee. Lemme think.
Wow. They really are desperate.

(His 'let's count the fake military ballots "lost" the recount right then and there). Why oh, why, wouldn't Gore repay the favor? Oh, wait....

considered neutral. Today Lieberman is too far right. I could give you guys the reason but my post would be kicked off so I will bite my tongue. I am sure that the wise ones know what I mean. BTW my Jewish relatives were killed in WWII.

His 2000 campaign. By doing so he improved in the polls and pretty much destroyed the DLC made myth that the way for a Democrat to win the election is run as a "centrist" -- the D.C. inside the beltware defintion of "centrist", aka "corporatist"

Why would an antiwar Gore support a prowar Lieberman, when even Lieberman won't support the Democratic nominee?

If Lieberman gets the Democratic nomination, Gore ought to endorse his reelection.

Yet lets make the story about Al Gore refusing to endorse him!

Liberman is disloyal to the party and that's why he's in the spot he is.

If he runs as an independent than I agree supporting him is not warranted...and I would not. In fact I would vote for Lamont if I lived in Connecticut.

But it would be hypocritical of me to criticize Schumer and Lieberman for not supporting the Democratic nominee, if I wasn't willing to do the same thing. Lamont has said he would support Lieberman if he wins the nod, and I think it is important for the Democratic leadership to do the same thing.

He criticizes the party in the press all the time.

He stabbed Gore in the back on the recount.

He undermines our party at every turn.

Is it any wonder why Bush stopped to play kissy face with him at the SOTU?

He's earned his title as Bush's favorite Democrat.

And though he is an eternal suck up to the Bushies, particularly on the war...if he is the Democratic nominee he should get Democratic support. You may say there is no difference between him and a Republican...and on the war there is not. But in one crucial way he is different...he is a reliable vote for Harry Reid as majority leader...and one piece of a majority that will place Ted Kennedy as the chairman of the judiciary committee. That alone would be enough for me.

Fact is there are several issues on which he can be counted as a reliable Democratic vote (women's choice and the environment to name two).

Sometimes the choice is the lesser of two evils...and in that case I would take the lesser!

He's a Bush sycophant and he's refused to rule out running as an independent.

Therein lies the irony in castigating Gore for not endorsing Liberman over Lamont.

I made clear in my original post that I thought Bull Moose was wrong to castigate Gore for not supporting Lieberman at this time. I think Gore thinks highly of Lieberman as a person and does not want to hurt his feelings, but probably would prefer Lamont. His reaction is entirely appropriate, and he is certainly not a coward for taking that position.

However, if Lieberman gets the nomination, Gore and every other Democratic leader should support his reelection, for the reason I enumerated in my previous post!

so why hold Gore to a standard that Lieberman won't adhere to?

There are four scenarios...

1. Lieberman wins the nomination. In that case Lamont has pledged to support him, and I believe Democratic leaders should as well.

2. Lieberman loses the nomination and endorses Lamont. ( If Lieberman loses I suspect this is what he will end up doing)

3. Lieberman loses but refuses to endorse Lamont but does not run as an independent. I doubt this will happen but if he does this he is a petulent jerk and it makes no difference what he says

4. Lieberman loses the nomination and runs as an independent. If he does so he is beneath contempt and loses all support from Democrats (hopefully).

In the end, it will be either scenario 1 or 2 IMO

miller. http://www.slate.com/id/2105700/

That he actively advocated for the election of a member of the opposite party. He can call himself a Democrat all he wants, but once he did that he ceased being a Democrat. Thus far, Lieberman has not done that. And in the end, I don't expect that he will.

Policy wise, as odious as Lieberman's enthusiastic bootlicking is, he is still progressive in several areas. Miller is a right winger right down the line.

poor performance. Joe is welcome to her, and I hope no other Dems ever avail themselves of her services.

I cannot stand her...she has an unbroken record of failure as a campaign manager, yet blathers on like she is a top notch political operative...ugh!

and Gore is watching & waving as they shamefully cross the Connecticut Rubicon then drive to Denial River Road to eat BS at Bull Moose's DLC blogshack.

Gore has the courage of his convictions! :patriot:

Take it from whence it comes, my friends.

McCain and Lieberman, what a pair!

Please consider the source for this opinion.

Here is a 2002 quote from Marshall Wittman, Bull Moose:

of either of them

I think he has erred tremendously. It is not out of cowardice, but genuine belief, IMO.

.

they own mainstream media.

They know the truth is getting out and they are trying to stop anything real or positive or honest from getting out.

They will always attack Al Gore. We must counter attack and know that the more they criticize Gore, in reality, that actually reveals what a incredible person and valuable leader he is. Remember everything is opposite of what they say with the Neocon white rich men.

suck my strap-on.

by saying in 2000, that all military ballots should be counted (regardless of whether they were cast AFTER the election).

At the DLC's National Conversation in New York City, of all places.

NT

Marshall, Whitman, and the rest of the DLC mob need to drop dead!

:puke:

plain and simple, and has become nothing but a bush* lapdog. Fuck bullmoose and whatever DLC animal he supposedly rode in on.

dumb as your name implies? Gore has courage because HE DOESN'T ENDORSE THE bush LOVER!!


Woot! Are you purposely dense, bull?

And lie-berman SUCKS THE BIG ELEPHANT EGG.

Al Gore is being seen today as the man he has always been. Lieberman is being seen today as the man none of us knew. He is the true Pygmalion. Lieberman should just cross over and join the Republican party.

Gore obviously cannot support today the man he chose as his running mate for the 2000 election because that man has changed his stripes. In other words, in Washington-speak, THINGS CHANGE.

And hurray for Al Gore for refusing to endorse Lieberman's 2004 Presidential run and for refusing recently to endorse him for his Senate re-election. Gore did call him a friend, but being the perceptive man he is, Gore can differentiate between a personal friend and a Democratic brother.

propaganda nonstop

That's kinda stupid.

Presidential primaries are a different story...
