Joe Lieberman needs to shut the hell up...

[truebrit71]

..and cross the aisle and join his repuke buddies....I am sick of his Pink Tutu justifications for authorising * sending innocent people to their deaths...:mad:


Of all of the candidates it is a toss up between Joe and Gephardt as to who is the worse * enabler...Shut up and get out...You make me sick...

1. Duh? n/t

[GumboYaYa]

2. Add Edwards to your list.

He was on CNN this morning talking about how even without the "sixteen words" there was a compelling case that Saddam was seeking nuclear weapons.

Edwards, Gep and Lieberman need to be out of the campaign as soon as possible.

[quinnox]

3. Gephardt is a liberal candidate

That is a strange combo to dislike, one a conservative Dem and the other a liberal Dem.

[DianeK]

19. i don't think it's a strange combo at all...

in good faith, we send our senators and representatives to washington trusting that they will have the guts to do the job. all of these dems mentioned, gephardt, edwards, lieberman sold us out by upsetting the very delicate balance of power so carefully crafted in our constitution..in my mind, that is unforgivable..that goes for hillary too, by the way...if one of them gets the nod, i will have no choice but to support them as it's anybody but bush for me, but i will have to hold my nose

[quinnox]

40. You don't like Hillary either?

I love that woman! I hope she becomes the first president of the U.S.

I like two of the candidates you mentioned, Edwards and Gephardt. These two men are fine Democrats and would make good presidents.

[ikojo]

21. Gephardt is NOT a liberal Democrat

Tricky Dicky Gephardt is the embodiment of a DLC Democrat...he will espouse a liberal position to get elected but will govern from the center right. :puke:

Under Gephardt's leadership as speaker of the house and minority leader the Dems not only LOST the House but also failed to regain it once it was lost. Is this the kind of leader Dems look up to?

He supported Bush on the War on Iraq and failed to vote on an important piece of legislation affecting working people (July 10).

Judge a person by their actions not their words because words are cheap. Gephardt's actions scream REPUBLICAN LITE.

41. Wow, from St. louis

I guess that means your post carries more weight, since you come from Gephardt's hometown!

I have Gephardt as second on my list, in favorite candidates. I admit, I worry about his electability, but he might surprise people.

[Hubert Flottz]

4. I couldn't agree more!

I'd vote for Ralph before I'd vote for either of the two Demopubs you listed above! And BTW I HATE Ralph's slimy guts!

[Born_a_Democrat]

9. I hate to say this but

I think I agree...I would most likely vote for Ralph instead of those guys...unless it was really close...

[NNN0LHI]

17. If you would consider voting for a third party you must really love Bush?

Why vote for Bush in a round about way? Why not just vote for Bush and be done with it? Same thing.

Don

[Hubert Flottz]

18. Corporation owned Democrats and Bush are the same thing!

Crooks!

[NNN0LHI]

29. No difference between the parties huh? Now where did I hear that before?

[Hubert Flottz]

32. Not from me!

You vote the way you please! I can't support Crooks, but I damned sure am not a Nader Fan! We have better choices than Joe and Dick!

[tnlefty]

22. demopubs - I like that and it's much easier to say the repub-lite!

DINO reminds me too much of the Flintstone's dog who was harmless.

[drdigi420]

5. Lieberman is a holy roller

'nuff sed.

[JeffR]

6. Lieberman will shut up

When he crashes and burns early in primary season. Don't worry.

[whoYaCallinAlib]

8. Is he still leading the polls?

What are these people thinking? Our party's base won't vote for Lieberman so why is he still ahead of other candidates? I don't get it.

[JeffR]

11. Name recognition

That's all. That "lead" will vanish as the name recognition of his rivals increases.

[whoYaCallinAlib]

15. Thanks, I think you're right.

I hope that's all it is.

[liberalnurse]

23. I totally agree.....

He is clueless to the power of the grassroots movement....

[Drifter]

7. I saw him this morning ...

on Today (I Think), and I thought the same thing. He keep blathering on about how this was a "Just" war. This dispite the fact that most of the reasons that made this war "Just" have been debunked and/or revealed to be out right lies.

Please cross the Isle now, get it over with. I have no problem that he is running for President. I encourage it. I just don't want there to be any chance in hell that he would become the Dem nominee.

Hey, who knows, maybe Lieberan could join the Bush ticket. First VP nominee to help Presidents from both parties to lose the big one.

Cheers

[wndycty]

10. I would like him better as a Repuke. . .

. . .he would be one of those moderate Repukes. . .

[corarose]

12. I use to like Holy Joe

I started HATING him when he stood by the side of Jr and kissed his ASS.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

13. Lieberman will ruin the party:

He's still defending Bush after lying in the SOTU!!! This is the same man who condemned Clinton for LYING about a personal affair. Which side are you on Joe?????

[liberalhistorian]

16. Not only did that sanctimonious, self-righteous, smug,

hypocritical, judgmental holier-than-thou holy rolling repuke-lite kiss up to the Boy King, but he also stabbed Gore in the back in 2000; I think it's safe to say we know what side he's REALLY on!

[NNN0LHI]

14. Ah. The daily everyone calls Lieberman a motherscratcher thread

There is already one on LBN if you care to check that one out too? Carry on.

Don

[trumad]

20. If it walks like a duck.....

Look... Lieb is obviously pro-Israel and that's that... But he's obviously a hippo---crite is a big big way... He condemed Clinton for a BJ but gives dubya a pass...

[NNN0LHI]

34. Guess what? America is pro-Israel too

Lieberman may end up being the best candidate we have that could beat Bush? I don't care what or who it takes to beat Bush. Bush is dangerous. Much more dangerous than Lieberman.

Don

[timbo]

37. how is a stealth republican better

than a real live open and notorious republican?

[NNN0LHI]

42. The difference is I think Bush may be insane

I think it is better to have a person who I do not suspect may have lost their mind as president of this country.

26. I'm waiting for someone to post a threads on Lieberman's news conf

where he singled out Dean for criticism.

[bambo53]

24. Lieberman & duel citizenship,

Does he have duel citizenship with Israel too?
I question his true values and motives.

I'm sorry, but I truly feel we need to clean out the rats nest that has invaded the Democratic party, and sold out the working class

[bambo53]

25. Lieberman & duel citizenship,

Does he have duel citizenship with Israel too?
I question his true values

[SyracuseDemocrat]

31. Do you have anti semitic tendencies?

I also question your political knowledge, not to mention your true values.

[liberalhistorian]

36. Oh, for God's sake, please don't start

with the any-criticism-at-all-of-Israel-is-anti-Semitism bullshit! I'm really getting tired of that! Israel's been able to get away with a lot of shit because they label anyone who makes one little peep against ANYTHING its leaders say or do as "anti-Semitic."

I have Jewish friends who do not support a lot of what Israel does, and who are quite vocal in their criticism (some of them being former strong supporters of Israel). Does that make THEM anti-Semitic? We criticize the actions of our own country's leaders, does that mean the freeps are right and any criticism at all is "anti-American?" I don't think so!

[tinnypriv]

38. Nah

That makes 'em self-hating :eyes: :puke:

[SyracuseDemocrat]

39. Considering that you have "historian" in your name, I would think that

you would remember all of the anti semitic acts that the Palestinians have done against Jews in israel. They really do hate israelis to the core and it is becoming more and more popular for the far, far left to adopt the palestinian extremist position; that is, for the leftists to become more and more anti semitic. I was at the February 15th anti war demonstration in NYC, and I saw so many anti semitic posters from the international socialist organization there. It was disgusting, to say the least.

[NightTrain]

27. As a lifelong resident of Connecticut...

...I couldn't agree with you more! Lieberman is a Democrat in name only.

[SyracuseDemocrat]

28. This is one of those times

that I'm glad DU is pretty much irrelevant in the nominating process.

[bambo53]

33. Why do you say that SyracuseDemocrat?

Do you believe in this man? Do believe he has the best interest of us at heart? Did he do anything to defend Clinton from the VRWC? This man is, (or should be) toast.

[SyracuseDemocrat]

30. Most of the posts in this thread

are so out of touch with reality. So you're saying that Lieberman is a center-right Republican? Well then Bush might as well be Hitler incarnate. I think that that your center is far, far left of everybody else's center. I don't think you know much about politics if you characterize Lieberman as Republican-Lite, or Gephardt either. Name me ONE current republican in congress who is more liberal than Gephardt and Lieberman. And don't say Shays, because Shays is fiscally conservative. He voted for BOTH bush tax cuts. Lieberman and Gephardt didn't vote for either. Just because Shays supports abortion rights does NOT make him a liberal. By the way, he voted for the Iraq resolution too. Don't say Chafee either, just because he didn't vote for the last tax cut doesn't change the fact that he is still a Republican through and through. Check out his AFL-CIO rating. If you can't find one republican in congress who is more liberal than Lieberman or Gephardt then you might as well stop calling them Republican lite.

[tinnypriv]

35. Er

Doesn't "repub-lite" = "nearly a republican"?

So how could any republican be more "liberal", since that would be the opposite of the definition?

[AndyTiedye]

44. Lieberman would give PNAC and the Likkud anything they want

Remember how Holy Joe was criticizing the Bush* "roadmap" for putting "too much
pressure" on Israel? It's hard to imagine any American pol being more pro-Likkud
than Bush*, but Lieberman did it!

[timbo]

43. sure enough, Gephardt's non-vote on the

overtime bill was quite liberal.

I think we need fewer apolgists for stealth republicans here.
