Identity checks?
How do we know who these "individual contributors from the internet" really were? Is there a way to positively determine their true identities? Sounds like we need to know about this. I would really like to know if it is possible to confirm their true identities and where this cash is coming from.
Mistaken identity, for sure
Thanks! I saw no point in defending that accusation. I've only posted on this board for the last month or so, and not all that much, either. But Observer's name shows at almost the end of every thread, having the last word. And you don't have to read those posts to make an educated guess they're argumentative.
Identity Politics
The libs created this and now have no clue how to play the hand they dealt all these years. All the conservatives were automatically racists because of this, that, or whatever. I don't need anyone telling me what I have in my heart. And for the record, I do have more than just white friends.
Frankly, I'm loving them squirm.
Identity problem
I don't think he can decide what he is, democrat, independent, republican. Now republican who votes with the democrats?????????????????????
Lieberman: 'I'm not Bush.'
Make sure you read the last paragraph...
Lieberman to Opponent: 'I'm Not Bush'
U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman tells opponent, newcomer Ned Lamont: 'I'm not George Bush'
WEST HARTFORD, Conn., Jul. 7, 2006
By SUSAN HAIGH Associated Press Writer
(AP)
(AP) U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman sought to distance himself from the Bush administration during a televised debate with his upstart Democratic primary challenger Thursday, telling him: I'm not George Bush.
Lieberman's opponent, political newcomer Ned Lamont, has gained in statewide polls by accusing Lieberman of straying from his Democratic roots. Just six years after being his party's nominee for the vice presidency, Lieberman has fallen into disfavor among some Democrats for his perceived closeness to President Bush and support for the war in Iraq.
I know George Bush. I've worked against George Bush. I've even run against George Bush. But Ned, I'm not George Bush, Lieberman said during the debate, televised nationally by MSNBC and C-SPAN. So why don't you stop running against him and have the courage and honesty to run against me and the facts of my record.
Lieberman, 64, who is running for a fourth term, is facing an Aug. 8 primary battle.
The founder of a cable television company, Lamont has dumped more than $1.5 million of his own money into the race. He has said he is prepared to invest up to $1 million more. During the debate, he cited rising gas prices and health care costs as problems, and repeated his opposition to the war in Iraq.
In Washington, we're making a lot of bad choices right now, Lamont said in his opening statement. We're losing a lot of our good paying jobs here in the state of Connecticut, and I wonder about the opportunities for our kids as they get older.
And Senator Lieberman, if you won't challenge President Bush and his failed agenda, I will, he said.
Lieberman announced Monday he would begin collecting signatures to petition his way onto the November ballot as an independent candidate should he lose the primary.
Polls by Quinnipiac University have shown Lamont's support among registered Democrats increasing from 19 percent in May to 32 percent in June. Lieberman's support in the same period fell from 65 percent to 57 percent.
But the same poll predicted Lieberman winning with 56 percent of the vote if he runs as an unaffiliated candidate, compared with 18 percent for Lamont and 8 percent for Republican Alan Schlesinger.
In an interview on CNN's Larry King Live Thursday, Bush said he was not going to weigh in on Lieberman's primary race and declined to say whether he would support Lieberman if he ran as an independent.
First, the Democrats have to sort out who their nominee is going to be and that's going to be up to the Democrats. And the rest of it's hypothetical, the president said.
When pressed about his liking Lieberman, Bush responded, You're trying to get me to give him a political kiss, which may be his death.

Lieberman indirectly
questioned Obama's patriotism last night at RNC, but in 2006 his campaign begged Obama for support in his race against Lamont. Obama came through for him. Joe L., what an upstanding guy. Also, Lieberman is "down with" that "country first" slogan but has dual citizenship with Israel? Will anyone from the convention not be unmasked as a hypocrite?
Yes, and did you hear the comments about Lieberman...
"We wrote him off a long time ago." "He will find it very difficult from now on." Geez. And they call themselves the Democratic party (I am talking about the DNC, the power brokers..who seem to speak for everyone tho)
Wasn't Lieberman a democrat?
He switched from the democratic party and I believe he is supporting McCain.
Lieberman supports McCain
I heard about that and also Juliani also supports him. I think that's great.
So did Obama. The search for Black identity, heritage,
Renewing American Leadership: Foreign Affairs. He also made contributions to The State of Black America, Portrait of a Black male. Whether you realize it or not, these subjects are of interest many Americans and Transcend gender, race, ethnicity and religion.
"Hoax limited to identity of story's SOURCE,
By my read, looks like the jury is still out on this one. They retracted the false (hoax) report that Eisenstadt was the source...but the story is still out there.
I did not see Palin deny this outright. I saw Palin say she would not comment on an answer to a question by an anonymous source until the source comes forward. I doubt that the alleged source will come forward, given the likely motivation behind the report. What I DO think is pertinent here is that many, many people INCLUDING Fox News find this report perfectly plausible, based on Palin's demonstration of BLATENT lack of knowledge of world affairs and foreign policy.
You know what they say. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression.
Lamont Says He'll Challenge Lieberman..sm
March 13, 2006
Saying voters deserve a choice and reiterating his opposition to the Iraq war, Ned Lamont (D) formally said today that he will challenge Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) for the Democratic nomination this year, the AP reports. Lamont will be Lieberman's first opponent from within the party during his three terms in the Senate. Lamont hopes to garner support from Connecticut Democrats dissatisfied with Lieberman's pro-war stance and his perceived closeness with President Bush's administration.
I think Lieberman puts Country first. -has guts.nm

Any thoughts on Joe Lieberman endorsing John McCain....
just wondering. I think that could have a real effect on undecided Independents as to which way they fall. Might result in a lot of Independents registering as Dem or Repub now to vote in the primaries who might not otherwise have done so. Very interesting development.
