It means sticking to principles and reaching across party lines to build bridges with likeminded people on the other side. More importantly, it means holding onto your senate seat with the tenacity of an eighteen year old smear of chewing gum that will never, ever leave the pavement. Remember, Lieberman isn’t actually talking about resolving a political crisis beyond his loss of the Democratic nomination. His false comparison of bipartisanship in New London undercuts his argument for Kumbayah in the Senate chambers. As someone who has supported the war, I feel a heavy personal responsibility to end our mission in Iraq as quickly as possible. But I believe that Ned Lamont’s strategy of pulling all our troops out by an arbitrary, politically determined date will lead to the collapse of Iraq, Iran surging in, and Iraq becoming a safe haven for al-Qaida and a launching pad for terrorist strikes against other countries in the region and the United States. Look guys, you know me! I’m against “arbitrary, politically determined dates” in all their forms. Iraq, senate terms, whatever it is, I’m against it. Our disagreement, however, does not end there. I believe that the best way for us to win the war in Iraq is to come together - the administration, Congress, and Republicans and Democrats - to find a solution that will allow our troops to come home with Iraq united and free, with the Middle East stable and the terrorists denied a victory. My opponent has a different idea: unilateral, arbitrary withdrawal, and never mind the consequences. There’s so much self-indulgent throb wankery in here it’s hard to know where to start. The Bush administration has no interest in coming together to win the war. Bush has committed US troops for the duration of his term. Coming together, from Bush’s standpoint, would only take place in the form of rubber-stamp approval of Bush’s methods. No one is moving towards the solution that you present because it exists only in the Klonopin addled minds of the most rabid Bush supporters. Sane observers (or even newly-sane politicians like Chris Shays) have known that this war is unwinnable, will not create stability and has served to train tens of thousands of new terrorists who hate America. Lieberman is endorsing a vision of Iraq put forward before the start of the war, unchanged despite tens of thousands of American casualties and hundreds of billions of dollars wasted. As Atrios said, simply “gather[ing] around the campfire and agree[ing] on something” is not a solution. My opponent’s idea of change is no change. He wants to simply wrap the partisanship and polarization of the last few years in a blue ribbon instead of red one. My plan is to be the most vehement partisan for the Connecticut for Lieberman paisley ribbon of bipartisan sing-alongs and weeny roasts. Seriously though, Lieberman is putting forward the notion that ideas can only be bad when systematized within the coherent structure of a party platform. This is taking stupidity to a brave new level. I have a different plan. I want to build a new politics of unity and purpose that will cut through the gridlock in Washington and solve problems for my constituents, my state and my country. After serving you for 18 years in the Senate, I still believe that together, Team Connecticut can renew America’s greatness and make our future as good as we all want it to be. Nothing cuts through gridlock like becoming a political pariah that other elected officials have to bolt from events to avoid any inopportune photographs.

I’ve begun to believe that most people take the path of least resistance because it is easy. “Tell me what to do, so I can blame YOU when I fail because I’d rather be watching desperation television than learning anything for myself” should be our motto as a nation. I just don’t know how people can live in such depths of denial.
