DISQUS

The Washington Independent: Lieberman to Skip Democratic Convention

  • justjoe · 1 year ago
    To quote our illustrious VP when asked about the majority of Americans who oppose the war..."So"?

    As if we didn't already know what Lieberman represents(and who) he has finally come out of the closet to tell the world....he's a Republican. Part of the Great Oil Party. He should be the first to go after the elections...or better yet now. His prime loyalty has always been to himself, from the first time he took money from William F. Buckley to run against moderate Republican Lowell Weickert.

    Thirteen years ago, Lieberman joined Lynne Cheney in co-founding the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. Sole purpose was to attack dissident educators, setting themselves up as cultural commissars who took on the right to decide what was and wasn't appropriate patriotism when educators explored key public issues. Their approach would have fit well in Communist East Germany, but seemed strangely out of place in a democracy, and Lieberman's never disassociated himself from it.

    He's already suggested that hospitals should have the right to refuse emergency contraception to rape victims, and force them to go elsewhere in the middle of the night.

    What kind of supporters does this person have?

    You know, of course, we are going to see a McCain\Lieberman ticket.



    They will get elected after the Clinton\Obama mutual assured destruction campaign strategy.



    And then, to quote Ronald Reagan: "The bombing begins in ten minutes."



    That is assuming Bush can resist a military trifecta prior to his departure.



    The Soviets, itching to show some spine ever since the Cuban missile embargo, will do something very scary.



    Israel will take a nuke from somewhere.



    Biblical predictions to follow.

    That's devolution not evolution.

    What's more good riddance to bad blue dogs. Lieberman always was a DINO. Never saw a capital gains tax cut he didn't like.
