CT-05: GOPer Johnson Coins New Term: "Ned Lamont Liberal"

[Nutmegger]

Endangered incumbent GOP Rep. Nancy Johnson has now taken to calling Dem opponent Chris Murphy a "Ned Lamont liberal." Today's New York Times reports that in addition to adopting this new slur for Murphy, Johnson is going as far as any GOP candidate anywhere in the country to make the race all about national security.

2. Hey, a great new bumper sticker!

"I am a Ned Lamont liberal!" Say it loud and say it proud.

Nancy Johnson needs to go into assisted living somewhere. ARts and crafts on Mondays, singalongs on Tuesdays. Nothing too taxing for her dimming brain to handle.

Goodbye, Nancy. Please don't let us hear from you again. Really.

3. God, she is such a BITCH!

Her ads are by far the most vile and vicious of them all. I hope she can get voted out. Unfortunately I cannot vote for Chris Murphy. But I WILL try and get Simmons out!

4. Good for you, calico!

I know you are fighting the good fight up in New London. What are the polls like in the matchup against Simmons?

5. Exactly!

6. Those are HORRIBLE commercials

And whatever happens, her reputation is shot. She's sullied whatever goodwill she'd developed with people over the years.

Chris is my state senator, although I'm not in the 5th. He's been very responsive, I have to say. I do hope he overcomes the odds and beats her!
