Lieberman's loss is deeply troubling, especially from a Christian perspective. Lieberman lost this primary because he refused to attack President Bush on the war in Iraq. His refusal to play politics with the war just might cost him his job, and that is a real shame.
Joe Lieberman was one of the few Democrats who has always defended Israel's right to exist. The issue of Israel was the main issue of this primary. Lieberman's support of the Iraq conflict is based on the fact that he saw Saddam Hussein as a threat to Israel's security. Mr Lamont and his far left buddies see the Jewish state of Israel as an illegal, immoral thing. They want the Israelis to abandon the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip and give the land back to its "rightful owners" the Palestinians. I found all of this out a few years ago when I watched a anti war rally in Washington DC on C-Span one Saturday Morning in Mid October (there was nothing else on). EVERY SINGLE speaker with exception one railed against two things "The illegal occupation of Iraq" and Israel's "Illegal occupation of Palestinian territory" In their warped minds, Hamas, the PLO, and Hezbollah are the good guys and Israel is the bad guy.
As a Christian, I believe what the Bible says in Genesis 12:3- God will bless those who bless Abraham's seed (the Jewish people). It is our responsibility to pray for the nation Israel and ask God to defend the Apple of his eye

Well I'm not exactly familiar with Lamont's views on Hezbelloh other than what I saw on "Face the State" yesterday. He actually came out strongly against Hezbelloh and their treatment of the Lebanese. Perhaps you should take a second look at his remarks - they are at WFSB.com. I disagree with you though James, Saddam may have been a pain in the ass, but he kept all those fundamentalist radical Muslims inside Iran. Once Saddam fell, there was a power vacumn, and the Iranians began to lick their chops. Unfortunately, the country that President Bush hoped would be a model democracy in the Middle East hasn't. The issue there isn't Ned Lamont, James. It's that as a result of this, anti-Americanism is being fanned all across the Middle East. Thanks for the blog idea because this is way more of a comment than I wanted to post, but I think if you look at the bigger picture here, it doesn't matter who is in the senate, Lamont or Lieberman. The question is can these seeds of anti-American hate by fundamentalist Muslims from Iran can be contained.
