Lamont Campaign Blasts Lieberman's Appearance on Face the State
(Statewide) - Joe Lieberman appeared this Sunday on CBS's Face the Nation, and continued to demonstrate that he is a desperate, flailing, career politician who will say anything to cling to power.
Senator Lieberman attempted to paint himself as courageous for clinging to the failed "stay the course" policy in Iraq and not listening to the voters of Connecticut on the need to change course. His new found "criticism" of the war won't convince Connecticut voters after so many years of stubbornly rubberstamping Bush's failed policies.
In response, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate Ned Lamont said today, "Courage means having the ability to admit mistakes and take the steps necessary to correct them. George Bush, Don Rumsfeld and Joe Lieberman were wrong to get us into the war, wrong in the day-to-day conduct of it and were wrong to take their eye off Osama Bin Laden, America's real threat. They are still wrong today as they cling to a failed "stay the course" strategy. Why would we trust them with making any more decisions when they have been wrong every step of the way?"
Ned Lamont will be a bold new leader, who will bring his results-oriented business approach to Washington. It will not take him a looming election to speak boldly about the issues the people of Connecticut care about.
Ned Lamont continued, "In America's most difficult moments in history, it took courage and fresh thinking to correct our course and do what's right for the American people. Today, we face such a moment and we need new leadership. I am committed to ending the failed strategy in Iraq, hunting down Bin Laden, securing our ports and returning our focus to the war on terror - the real and urgent threat facing America."
Lamont concluded, "I have spoken out about getting out of Iraq and focusing on the real war on terror since day one of the campaign. I'm not a career politician like Joe; I'm a business guy and I focus on results, not the same empty political rhetoric we've been hearing for the past 18 years."
