No, that's not what I said. I said that "this is the most retarded WAY to oppose the war". This vote is like saying "ok, there's a war? I'm committing suicide". Voting for Lamont won't end the war, and will possibly secure the November election for a Republican candidate.
If Lamont wins, I can tell that he'll be a horrible Senator, because his only platform is "I'm against the war". There are a billion other things that he has to do as a senator besides voting on issues related to our foreign policy in the middle east. Sure, he might vote against the war, but in the 97 other percent of the things that senators campaign and vote for, how will he vote? Nobody knows. Lieberman has an IMPECCABLE congressional record and always champions Liberal causes (outside of the war on Iraq). He has been a great senator.
I'm afraid that CT just lost the Senate another Democratic seat. Way to protest the war guys!
