Comments on: Mertens seeks backing of four parties in Connecticut U.S. Senate bid http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/2009/09/mertens-seeks-backing-of-four-parties-in-connecticut-us-senate-bid/ Covering America's third parties and independent candidates since May 2008 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:08:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sue Henshaw http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/2009/09/mertens-seeks-backing-of-four-parties-in-connecticut-us-senate-bid/comment-page-1/#comment-139931 Sue Henshaw Thu, 10 Dec 2009 00:56:51 +0000 http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/?p=9927#comment-139931 Fever, When John Orman, I, and the other original members signed the party over to Dr. Mertens, we departed that final meeting with the understanding that Mertens would continue CFL's original philosophy and viability as long as Sen. Lieberman was politically active. Losing both the election against Sen. Dodd and CFL party ballot access in 2012 was not what Dr. Orman envisioned for CFL. Therefore, it's in his memory that I and the other original founders are speaking up now. Also, we would like to know how John Mertens would be a more effective candidate than our current Democratic Senator, Chris Dodd. Perhaps you can help. Sue Henshaw Fever,

To do anything else "diminishes both the politician and the party." Yet, then she wants the party to endorse the even worse Dodd. So which is it, Susie Henshaw baby? Use it only against Lieberman, or try to help the Democratic establishment? Well....? So, this “Activist” Henshaw only wants the CFL Party to be used against Lieberman.

If he's a Lieberman supporter and seeking the Green nomination, he's got a lot of 'splainin' to do. So is Mertens a Lieberman supporter, or a Lieberman opponent?

It just seems that the LP would be all over trying to get him elected, considering his pretty much outright libertarian ideas and his father's history with the LP.
