More Kos Hypocrisy

I know, alot of posts on Kos this week, but I can't help myself. Take a look at nutroot central this morning.

The post at 8:57 AM is on the Connecticut senate race, you know the one where Kos is supporting a primary opponent to the incumbent U.S. Senator because he enables the Republican agenda by hugging the President, defending his policies (90% of which he votes against), and dares to work with Republicans.

The post at 8:47 is in support of Harold Ford, Jr. Who according to the July/August 2006 issue of the Atlantic is the Democratic U.S. Senate candidate who is campaigning across his state and telling voters he loves his President, supports privatizing social security, is bias toward homosexuals, proudly brags about working with Republicans, and believes the Bush doctrine is too liberal.

Don't get me wrong, I am as big of a supporter of Harold Ford as anyone, even if I don't always agree with him. There is no candidate for the U.S. Senate that I would rather see win; however, I feel this way because of his willingness to speak out against his own party when it tends to ignore the values of the average American.

Kos will tell you that it is okay that Ford be who he is because he is from a Republican state, but Lieberman cannot be independent because he is from a blue state... A blue state where the Governor's mansion and three out of the five congressional seats belong to Republicans.
