- Rowland is strategically hiding his
anti-worker, anti-women and children, and anti-environment
record
- People's Weekly World, 10 October
1998. When John Rowland became the youngest member of
Congress in 1984, he was held up as the Republican
right-wing's shining light for the future. Today, as
Governor of Connecticut, Rowland is strategically hiding
his anti-worker, anti-women and children, and
anti-environment record to win re-election.

- By Mark Pazniokas, Lynne Tuohy, and Jon Lender,
The Hartford Courant, 21 June 2004. Gov. John
G. Rowland intends to announce his resignation tonight,
nine days before the deadline for the House impeachment

investigation and Connecticut's first gubernatorial
impeachment inquiry.
- Bill Clinton Rushes to Lieberman's
Rescue
- By Stanley Heller, CounterPunch, 29 July
2006. Bill came to cheer on his former mentor, Joe
“Mr. Morality” Lieberman. The state's
senior senator is behind in the polls to millionaire
businessman Ned Lamont. What do we get if Lamont wins? We
once again give new life to the illusion that the
Democratic Party can become a peace party or a workers
party.
- Connecticut Democratic primary winner Ned
Lamont is not anti-war
- By Nick Flynn, Socialism and Liberation, 9
August 2006. Lamont's victory was largely fueled by
his attacks on Lieberman's support of the Iraq war. An
examination of Lamont's positions and statements
reveal a clear support for U.S. imperialism in the Middle
East and around the world.
