Hey even Will finds him too dorky, despite the fact that Will agrees with his moderately conservative Republican type policies. ************ Central Miscasting Joe Lieberman needs to be played by somebody else. By William Saletan Posted Monday, August 4, 2003, at 3:51 PM PT I want to vote for Joe Lieberman. I really do. I just want somebody else to deliver his lines. That's the pained, guilty feeling I get every time I see him speak. And I'm not alone. A lot of moderate voters love Lieberman's record and message. He's been fiscally responsible, tough on crime, and strong on defense. He hasn't let the Bush administration's gratuitous exaggerations muddle his basis for supporting the Iraq war. He's resisted demands from the left to reject Bush's half-a-loaf prescription-drug benefit and to repeal all of Bush's tax cuts, including the middle-class relief Democrats supported in the first place. ************ more
and it's amazing how the pope was against the war yet you supported it despite claiming to follow everything the church says. If it's that important to you at least spell it correctly, it's Catholicism, unless you want me to start calling you a Catholoc.
I consider my fairly liberal on most issues but I was for the war. There comes a time when you have to take some human losses and take a dictator down. You can't go after them all so you triage as to which ones pose a threat to our own interest , which ones provide a moral imperative and which ones are not really feasable to be taken down. I would much rather fight this fight with the support of the world's other democracies, sort of a World Justice League but war is just to horrible for many of them to contemplate, especially those that have seen warfare on their own territories. I call my wife a Cathaholic, sometimes it seems Catholics are addicted to their religion.
Joe I-Make-Ben-Stein's-Monotone-Sound-Lively Lieberman doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hades of getting the nomination. I think that he's desperate to score some points and separate himself ideologically from frontrunner Dean.
It's funny that Lieberman says that about Dean. Because with him as VP candidate and in the congress the Dems are currently in the minority. It appears that the party is already nowhere, and trying to vote for someone like Lieberman who helped bring it where it is now, would be the real ticket for nowhere.
