The Democratic Insurgency

A Democratic insurgency has arisen.

At least in the minds of frightened Republicans and the terrified Vice-President Cheney.

Irate because Senator Lieberman fell out of favor with the citizens of Connecticuit who voted for Ned Lamont to be their Democratic candidate on the November ballot, the Vice President and his cronies now refer to all Democrats as members of the "Lamont Insurgency."

One imagines they mean the word "insurgency" to remind their followers of the insurgency the American President has facilitated in Iraq.

Funny, they seem to forget that the insurgency Americans are most proud of is the one that overthrew an English king and his government for trampling on their lawful rights as Englishmen.

Equally amusing, these people forget state of Connecticut -- among so many other Northeastern states -- began that insurgency and won themselves a new nation.

If citizens voting for the candidate of their choice is an act of insurgency -- let the Democratic Insurgency begin!
