Ned Lamont, appears before a scheduled filmed appearance with Connecticuts Senior Senator Chris Dodd (D). LieberTroll invade to attempt to disrupt the filming, but seem instead to just cause embarassment for the Junior Senator.

The lack of information in Joe's FEC filings begs the question. Senator Lieberman, remind us again whose campaign is the negative one?

I think Attorney General Blumenthal might be interested in some of these reports. Why dont we give him a call on Monday.

Mailing Address:
Office of the
Attorney General
55 Elm Street
Hartford, Connecticut
06106
Telephone:
(860) 808-5318

And of course, after a hard days working of doing justice, you could show up to Neds pre-debate rally and kick back with the new and improved Kiss float.

Wow! Slushies for everyone! (0.00 / 0)

This is great...Joe really IS working for us! Just sign on to be a total asshole at a Lamont political event, and cash in and get your TAX-FREE volunteer payments!

Good thing the IRS doesn't get involved in political campaign spending, or Joe might get in trouble.

I wonder how many Social Security numbers they have on file...isn't the law fairly clear on things like witholding and tax records?

Then again, George W. Bush is in charge. I don't think he'd EVER have the IRS investigate anyone who his lips have touched so lovingly.

Curious About Legality (0.00 / 0)

Aside from some of the very large payments listed above, I wonder what the legalities are of paying $17,000 for a lobbyist's hotel expenses. And I wonder whether the $24,000 was for that same lobbyist's trip home to DC.

Just saw Iraq for Sale (0.00 / 0)

Just saw Rob Greenwalds new Documentary: Iraq for Sale. And I am just floored...

To think that most if not all of Joey Joe Joe LIEbermans campaign contributions come from the people who associate themselves with corporations like KBR, Halliburtion, CACI, Titan. And to see that Joe has a $300k slush fund just for "petty cash"... Ughhh.. I am sooo furious.

Its a must see, I think there is a showing in Newington:

That is if it dosent interfere with volunteering for the campaign, of course...
