Ken Mehlman, the Republican Party Chairman, has refused to endorse thier own US Senate candidate in Connecticut. That tells you what their true goal is: prop up Joe Lieberman as long as possible, in the hope that he inflicts enough damange on Lamont so the Lieberman can win in November. No chance that Schlesinger will win in CT, since the Republican Party is withholding moral, and, probably, financial support as well.

That's because Joe Lieberman is their candidate, sherlock. I would rather he simply change parties.
Melman is a slimeball, given that he was out campaigning for another Senatorial candidate while he refused to endorse Schlesinger. |

Do you want an avid gambler as your senator?
I think his evasive answers are hilarious. |

I think it's hilarious that he cheats at gambling and still loses. Maybe he can be on the finance committee. |

Card counting is not cheating. if you are smart enough to keep track of the cards in an eight shoe deck, more power to you.
If he were running on a morals platform, I'd have an issue with this. Otherwise, who really cares? He's not going to be elected anyway.
The guy just wanted some national attention, and Matthews gave it to him int he worst possible way. He made him feel even more irrelevant than he is, if that's possible. |

Card-counting is against casino rules, and he was escorted out more than once. |

That doesn't make it cheating. Besides, how do you catch someone counting cards? |

OK, it's not "cheating." But Casinos watch for it, and do catch people, and do show them the door. (They don't make all that money by being suckers themselves).
Schlesinger is on the record as admitting that he's been escorted out of casinos for just that offense. More here: http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/001118.php. |

I think he held the cards in his left hand and counted them with his right. He could only keep track of 5 or less, but he felt it tilted the odds in his favor. |

1. Card counting is allowed in N.J. casinos as per a court case several years ago. However, if the casino suspects the practice, it can shuffle decks more freqently to reduce the effect of the counting.
2. The purpose of the lack of support for the Repub. candidate may also be to force Dems. to divert cash to Lamont at the expense of other races. |

Strawberry - If Mehlman and the other Republicans are supporting Lieberman, then let them be men about it and come out and admit it. They can't do it. That's dishonest.
Instead they're playing games. Just like the game they're playing in places like Lebanon and Iraq. They're so devious that they can't be straight with the American people and the rest of the world. Anyone who supports them is responsible for the 3,500 Iraqis who died last month.

oh shut the f**k up, we know you love it already. Come back around when you've got something different to say, but trust us, if we say something bad about the GOP we already know you love it.
It makes miss Straw's "boring" posts already. |

Just how long has the GOP been planning to get Joe Lieberman re-elected? They found a CT Republican stooge to run, fully expecting that Lieberman would beat the hell out of him. I'm sure they planned to leak out his gambling habits so that 'Honest Joe' could take the moral high ground. What they didn't count on was the Democrats taking a good, long, hard look at Lieberman and turning him out.
This set up in CT had to have been planned for months and months. How desperate can the GOP be that to ensure Lieberman's support, they sacrificed thier own candidate?

Southerner: I say a prayer to good lord almighty everyday that your kind lives where not a single civilized person gives two craps about. It's better that the youngins here don't know your kind exists until they get a little older. It's so pathetic that you have to log on to a New Jersey message board everyday you're so desperate to associate with the smart people of this country. You might think the neo-cons are working in your best interest, but look again. They are using you, and biggest irony (look it up) of all is that the red-state Southern hicks in this country don't even understand they are being used worse than Waffle House wet-nap. |

I might add that you think that we libs are just making noise and the neocons will continue to hold congress to advance an agenda that helps you. But that's just the point -- the agenda's not about helping you.
You are being used to advance the interests of a very small group of extremely wealthy people, and to the extent any crumbs fall off the table onto your plate it is by accident. |
