Let the Inquisition Begin!

David Brooks called it the Liberal Inquisition.

Have the Democrats finally killed all of the celebrities making leftist people look like bumbling idiots? No? Well, then, it's not that serious.

Is it an Inquisition? No? It's only Americans exercising the right to a democratic process, and since when did that become such a mystery to everyone?

Old Joe Liberman is being challenged in his district, and the race is pretty close between the former Vice-Presidential candidate and a rich boy named Ned Lamont up in Connecticut.

If you haven't been paying attention to the race for Joe Lieberman's seat in Connecticut, then you're no different than anybody else.

But, if on the offhand chance you follow politics, you might be literally on the edge of your seat. You see, it's so rare that dinosaurs in Congress get booted from their seats before retirement that it actually makes news when it happens. That's what all the hub-ub is about.

The blogosphere is behind Lamont, who has the profile of a Republican (rich guy, businessman, etc.) and opposes Lieberman on so many issues that all the news will discuss is the war in Iraq. And - hopefully - it will become the big issue this fall. Lieberman is not a good representative for his party and should be ashamed.

He says that, if defeated, he will run as an independent, further splitting the (D) vote and ensuring a Republican victory. If he's such a party guy - ha! great pun - he should bow out gracefully and let someone else be elected. I'm all for somebody fighting for something he believes in, but Lieberman is just pathetically trying to save face these days.

Oh, and back to what David Brooks wrote.

So be it. Let there be an inquisition. If a new guy running against the old fogey is an inquisition - maybe democracy is ia better word for it - then somebody 'specs it. The Democratic Party is filled with losers, crybabies, ineffectual morons, and people with little to no backbone to speak of. I'm so sick of these people not fighting back that I want to throw up on every single one of them. Democrats are being bullied and, though I don't believe in negative campaigning, the old adage is true: you gotta punch the bully right in the mouth so he'll leave you alone. I'm not necessarily supporting the Democrats here, but don't you agree? It's like watching a boxer beat the living crap out of his opponent because the other guy won't put up his hands. I just want to see a good match here.

Don't act so shocked. I'm not the first person to say these things, but they're true.

Kick all of the bums out of the party so that elections will become competitive again. I don't care one way or the other. I'm just so sick of congressmen feeling like they have some sort of entitlement to office because they've served for twenty years. Hell, I think it's reason enough to kick 'em out!
