I have never liked Lieberman. I think he was a big part of the reason why Gore lost to Bush in 2000. He put his fake morality over common sense when he denounced Clinton. He put personal gain over party when he ran as an independent. And now he’s thrown reality to the curb in order to boost McCain. What I can’t fathom is why the Democrats still give this guy power?! It really is one of the more mind bogging things about politics right now to me.

Ever since his re-election, we in Connecticut have been cheering on whiny-assed joe LIEberman. Slowly but surely, he has been committing political suicide, all he has been doing is knitting himself a noose. The grand finale to this passion play will occur in Jan. 09 when he gets stripped of his coveted appointments in the Senate.

Unbelievable

I am a religious far lefty liberal who believes in God but doesnt think all those who SAY they are working for him really are, who doesnt really care who0 has a gun but thinks in a perfect world only my WIFE would have one and cannot imagine any point this could POSSIBLY make to anyone not a brainwashed moron unless it was that liberals dont agree on that many issues except the one that says if you have two liberals in a room you have at least three opinions.

Voltaire? Nah. He would have said something more like, “by the offal that spills from their mouths are they identified. Stunted intellects imprisoned by the walls of their own complacency, they don’t even realize how offensive they are to civilized, sophisticated, persons of more than average wit“.

Or something along those lines. Perhaps followed by a dig at one of our trolls saying, “Bush is a great man. All you need to do is listen to his speeches to recognize the extent of his wisdom“?

But. I never claimed to be in Voltaire’s league.

I regret voting for Kerry/LIEberman in 2004…
_____________________________________________________________

If you voted for Kerry/Lieberman in 2004, you must have written in that ticket. John Edwards was Kerry’s running mate.

Perhaps you are thinking of Gore/Lieberman in 2000?

I admit I voted for Gore/Lieberman in 2000 for two reasons — one, I liked Al Gore and I especially liked his position on the environment. I thought Bush was an idiot who should not have been allowed anywhere near the Oval Office. Two, this was before 9/11, and Lieberman had not gone ballistic about getting ballistic in the Middle East. He still had a record on domestic issues that I could (mostly) go with (his position on school vouchers alarmed me somewhat, however). But I still trusted him in the veep slot over Cheney, who scared the crap out of me.

There were good reasons for voting for Gore in 2000. Don’t beat yourself up too much.

Lieberman, like Pelosi, Reid, most Republicans, and many Democrats are working for the Likud Party/Zionists. Hell, the day after Obama got the nomination nod, he was speaking at AIPAC, threatening Iran, and gearing up for the “Farce on Terror”to transfer from Iraq to Afghanistan. Skull and Bones John Kerry works for them on a contract by contract basis. So, the order of importance, IMO of Lieberman and the traitorous Blue Dog Democrats are:

1 – Military-Industrial Complex
2 – Israel/Likud
3 – Telecoms
4 – Ethanol/Coal (Lots of coal is needed to refine ethanol)
5 – Surveillance
6 – Pharmaceuticals
7 – Hydrogen Cells/Battery/Solar/Wind
8 – Social Security
9 – Universal health care

Better than McNuts, but a hoodwink, and the drowning economic system will be painted as doing OK, much the same way the books were cooked under Clinton. When they delete NAFTA, GATT, and the other free trade agreements, then we will see a potential return to USA prosperity. Green technology (Solar, Wind, Electric, and Hydrogen Fuel Cells) could put the US back on track.

Perpetual war and the grabbing of oil hot spots like Iraq, Iran, Caspian Sea, and Venezuela will only lead to a confrontation will Russia and China, and that is beyond insane.

Liver-Lipped AssFishes like Lieberman only are there to throw confusion into people. He is trying to play both sides, corporate and labor, and frankly that is like playing 4th Amendment Surveillance and saying people still need a reason to be searched without a cause.

Can you believe that a mob of Republican big spenders and zealots will want to sit there listening to old Joe talk about no mud-slinging?
Actually it might be entertaining to watch the 30 minute speech on “good will,” and it would be in keeping with all boring Republican Conventions.

It was a rhetorical question troll. And Lamont’s run exposed Joe as a “war at all costs” Reichwing wacko on the subject of engaging Muslims “over there”.

120: Ned Lamont was the guy the nutroots backed in CT vs. Lieberman…

You did address his question about Joe supporting a senile warmonger and an insane foreign policy?

113: Don’t flatter yourself – I was referring to nutroots in general…

Then post a snide comment like that on dailyKos, not here. Think Progress does not endorse any political candidate, they simply tell the truth about the corrupt ones, many of whom are on the ideological opposition.

117: Point – if the Dems hadn’t backed Lamont, Lieberman probably wouldn’t be going to the GOP convention…

August 3rd, 2008 at 5:08 pm

If the Republicans had not supported Lieberman over their own nominated candidate, Lieberman would have lost and joined the Republicans officially by now. He’d probably even had been chosen to head the GOP if Lamont had won.

So, did you have a point to make that was based on reality?
