ANYONE appointed by Bush or any future Republican, YES, will overturn Roe, will side ALWAYS with big business, will overturn precedent. You don't need hearings, it's a 100% automatic given.

Then Alito voted for x, y, z, .......... **AFTER** that Lieberman said that he was wrong for voting against him. Then McCain made Lieberman his running mate.

Matt, it appears you left something out of the quote:

Actually you’ve described the non-KKK view of Jews in the south.

In the KKK the pecking order is quite clear (in order of hatred #1 being the top)

1) Jews (they killed Christ, eat Christian children and are Devil worshippers that control the media and all the banks)
2) Negros
3) All other non-whites (i.e. Mexicans)
4) Catholics (it’s not a religion, it’s a cult)
5) Yankees (anyone from north of the Mason Jar Line)
6) Hollywood Left (all dem librul aktors)

He's the "Good Kind of Jew" -- like the House Negro, the Good Jew is the Jew who knows his place and submits to the domination of the White Aryan Man. It's perfect. What's odd is why Lieberman enjoys playing the role so much. In other words, Lieberman would have been a Kapo at Auschwitz. #28 dixie blood: Lieberman DOES have appeal for the NASCAR-Klan types who dominate the Republican Party.

This would be consistent with his "I only do what's best for America" shtick. It occurs to me that Lieberman must be absolutely the most desperate political tart out there -- this is so transparently calculated to get him attention. I understand that irrelevance is tough to contend with, after you've spent the 90s being touted as some sort of elder statesman, but man it's just ugly to see the extent to which this absolute hack will go to keep the spotlight shined on himself. Which would, at the end of the day, be the only reason for him to switch party i.d. -- and which is why I absolutely believe he will. Think of how much his political schwanzstueck will get stroked by the Weekly Standard afterwards.

The rest of the country will not be voting as State of Connectcut did, in sending Lieberman to Washington few years ago.
