Lieberman Has Officially Lost It
May 21, 2008 – 3:20 pm“…John McCain, who has shown the political courage throughout his career to do what he thinks is right – regardless of its popularity in his party or outside it. John also understands something else that too many Democrats seem to have become confused about lately – the difference between America’s friends and America’s enemies.”
Oh really, Joe? When McCain spoke at Liberty University only a couple years removed from calling Jerry Falwell an “agent of intolerance” was he doing the right thing or the popular thing?
If Senator McCain understands the difference between America’s friends and enemies, why has he consistently advocated for a war that has given power to a government with strong ties to Iran, our consensus enemy? It looks like Lieberman shares McCain’s lack of knowledge regarding the history and people of the Middle East. Cheney said we would be greeted as liberators, meanwhile it is the President of Iran that gets the Iraqi red carpet treatment while our leaders are targeted in bombings.
The Iraq War - draining our military and economy since 2003. Brought to you by fellow delusional Senators Lieberman and McCain.

A lasting — and nauseating — image of this campaign is the sycophant Lieberman following McCain around like some drooling puppy. And rolling over at his “master’s” command.
Disgusting.

A cold chill went down my spine when I read Karl Rove’s encomium for McCain in the Wall Street Journal.
I felt as if Beelzebub himself had wrapped himself in the flag and was telegraphing the all-too-obvious direction a McCain offensive will go in a contest with Obama.
McCain has been anointed by the Bush/Cheney/Rove ‘axis of evil’, and no doubt Lieberman is anticipating his own reward.
Nothing good can come of this unholy union.

I don’t understand how Lieberman can caucus with the Senate Democrats (including both presidential candidates) yet actively campaign against his colleagues for a Republican.
If you are going to be an independent, be one. Don’t half-ass it. Of course, Lieberman never had any intentions of being an independent; he was forced into the role by losing the primary.
I wonder if he would be acting the same today had he won that election.
