Very recently, I was supporting Joe Lieberman for U.S. Senate in Connecticut. I can no longer in good conscience support him in this primary.
One of the things my grandpa taught me was “Never change horses in the middle of the creek.” Well, I’ve never rode a horse, and if he wanted to cross a creek, he just walked through it. I eventually understood this phrase to mean that you don’t change your mind on important things, even if it’s in your best interest.
But another thing he also taught me, very importantly, is that you must do what your heart tells you to do. And that’s what I’m doing.
I’ve done alot of reading and alot of listening, and I have come to the conclusion that Ned Lamont is the only candidate in the race for U.S. Senate in Connecticut who has the right stance on the Iraq War. Couple that with his other progressive stances, and I think we’ve got a winner.
Joe Lieberman has done alot for this country, and for our party. But he’s wrong on the Iraq War issue, and the degree to which he is still unable to fully admit his mistake, I can’t believe he is the best candidate in this race.
If you’re reading this, and you’re from Connecticut, I urge you to vote for Ned Lamont for U.S. Senate.
