More "inexcapable logic" from the right.

The Esteemed Joe Lieberman

If only Democrats still had the John Kennedy-Joe Lieberman mentality on world affairs, they would probably still be in the majority. Joe Lieberman is a breath of fresh air from the heated, emotional, vitriolic statements that come out of the current Democrat leaders. His logic and observations are inexcapable to those still with their heads about them. And his points about Iraq, and our need to succeed there, are right on target...

1. John Kennedy had the same mentality as Lieberman?

I don't know how they can say that. Kennedy lived in a different time with different challenges. Facing down the Communists over Cuba is a far different thing than supporting an illegal and immoral war against a country that was no threat to us.

[RaleighNCDUer]

3. No, Lieberman has the same mentality as Kennedy -

a Democrat anti-communist hawk in 1963. And there he remains.

[myrna minx]

8. The right has been trying to co-opt Kennedy for years now.

Nice try righties. :eyes: While the right tries to demonize Ted Kennedy, they claim that JFK would be a republican if he were alive today. They sure do love their truthiness and baffling fictional extrapolations.

14. And Stephanie Miller says Goldwater and her father

would not be Republicans. But at least SHE has some credibility, since she is William Miller's daughter and talks regularly with Goldwater's granddaughter, who is also a Dem, I believe.

[Beelzebud]

17. She see's Goldwater through the eyes of a happy childhood. Same as Goldwater's daughter.

Barry Goldwater wanted to NUKE Vietnam...

He was no progressive thinker at all.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

18. Well, Goldwater's granddaughter

just finished editing and reissuing a book Goldwater wrote. I don't think that she or Steph think Goldwater or Miller would be progressives, but rather that they wouldn't go along with the neocon antics---after all, Barry went to Nixon and told him to go. Steph said she felt they would be Libertarians now. Sorry I didn't make that clear in my post. I didn't mean to imply they would be progressives.

11. the right howled when Kennedy didn't follow through on the Bay of Pigs or start a war over

the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Apart from Lieberman, the right's definition of a good Democrat is a dead one--so they can rewrite history and put words in his mouth.

2. What more do you expect from...

someone who proudly advertises his affiliation with the 101st Keyboarders...

[11 Bravo]

4. Ummm ... the Dems ARE in the majority, and they need another Lieberman like ...

they need a dose of the clap.

[Touchdown]

5. Soooo, we're not in the majority anymore?

In what fairyland?:crazy:

[myrna minx]

12. I went to check the date to make sure it was a current posting.

:crazy: Yep, it is. Apparently for this joker, the November election didn't happen. Every day is upside down back wards day in right wing world.

6. If Dems were more like lieberman there would be no democrats.

[Pab Sungenis]

7. Has he tried counting lately?

In the House, the Senate, and registrations nationwide, we are in the majority!

It's people like Lieberman who keep us from being able to use it effectively.

[BurtWorm]

10. In the electorate we're in the majority.

And the majority is growing mainly because Lieberman and his Republipals are so wrong about Iraq.

[Marr]

9. "Inexcapable"... I may have become lost in this maze of prefixes, but

maybe it means "not formerly capable". So maybe I agree. No wait- now I'm lost in a maze of negatives.

Nevermind.

[bluestateguy]

13. And John Kerry's "botched joke" last October ruined everything

And, oh, wasn't that "Path to 9/11" fantasy movie supposed to swiftboat the "Democrat" Party too?

[porphyrian]

15. Uh...we ARE in the majority...? - n/t

[Virginia Dare]

21. check out post #20...n/t

[porphyrian]

23. Fuck you, smartass? - n/t

[ceile]

16. Thanks! I needed a good laugh!

"a breath of fresh air...." :rofl:

[LeftishBrit]

19. I thought they WERE in the majority!

[Virginia Dare]

20. Mr. Strata-Sphere explains that to us:

Addendum: For you folks over at DU who cannot grasp the definition of the word “majority” I must remind you that (a) democrats and reps and independents (like me) each make up a third of the population, (b) occassionally a governing coalition will be created by the Indies supporting the Reps or Dems - this does not make Dems a majority, and (c) Lieberman is not a Dem and therefore the Dems do NOT have a majority of the Senate. So, if you want to pretend you folks have a ‘majority’ go right ahead. Those of us who have passed 7th grade math will just have to disagree.


:crazy: :spray:

[ProgressiveFool]

25. See, there's your problem... 7th grade math...

Most of us don't stop there.

[BurtWorm]

26. And I thought the problem was fourth grade English.

:crazy:

22. This Hugh Moran claims that Rush checks his blog every day..

[Robbien]

24. GOPers are the minority party now. GOPers just cannot get it throught their heads

GOPers = minority
