Democrats Say Troops Politcal Tools?

J.J. Jackson* | August 15, 2006 

Connecticut is a strange state full of far left moonbats, not so far left wing (but still Socialist) Democrats parading as “Independents” and liberal Republicans. It appears that this year’s US Senate Race between the incumbent Joe Liberman, Ned Lamont and some loser with an (R) next to his name is going to get odd and turn into a single issue campaign - the War in Iraq and on Terror. Ok, it’s really a two-issue campaign. The other issue is the impeachment of President Bush which Lierberman would not support. But I am sure Lamont would.

Now Veterans for Freedom which is reported as a GOP linked group is openly supporting Lieberman because of his stance on the war. And the Democrats are doing their typical downplaying of our soldiers and their opinions as mere political hackery.

Former Democratic State Chairman George Jepsen, a top adviser to Democratic primary winner Ned Lamont, said the ad showed that “national Republicans, in their effort to help Joe Lieberman, clearly have a well-laid-out strategy to attack Ned Lamont.” - courant.com

He also disparaged our veteran soldiers which, typical liberal spin

Jepsen, a senior Lamont campaign adviser, said he saw a similarity between the 2004 Swift Boat Veterans effort and Monday’s ad by the Vets for Freedom.

“So, the swift-boating begins,” he said. In 2004, he said, the Swift Boat veterans used “half-truths and lies” to take a Kerry strength “and distort it in such a way that was unjust and unfair.” Now, he said, the new group’s ad seeks “to make opposition to the war in Iraq somehow unpatriotic.”

Sorry Comrade Jepsen. The only “half-truths” were by Kerry. Christmas in Cambodia anyone? Maybe if Kerry wouldn?t have lied about what happened there would have never been the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth? Oh, that?s right liberals never take responsibility for their actions. I forgot.

The Veterans for Freedom responded

The veterans’ ad was a positive message about Lieberman, Gerstein said, adding that only the “reality-challenged Lamont campaign … could turn a positive ad into something negative.”

Zirkle said that “if anyone’s getting swift-boated,” it’s his veterans’ group - by “the Lamont campaign trying to smear us.”

Democrats smearing our troops? No - NEVER! /sacrasm

But I will say that no self-respecting conservative would vote for Lieberman who is about as left wing as they come. However I am sure that many ?Republicans? will. Pro-war/anti-war is neither a left or right issue as there have been many “pro-war” left wingers over the years from Hitler to Stalin to Mao.
