Worse than useless. He's actively trying to help Bush's cause.
If he supports the war, fine. I suppose all his insurance industry patrons would be fine with the rest of his Republican values too. That's all ok and up to the voters of Connecticut. But when this joke writes full page editorials in the Wall St.Journal, which routinely savages Democrats every conceivable way, and to now speak out and chastise Dems for simply opposing Bush's policies in Iraq, that's beyond stupid.
He's a disgrace. Sadly though, no one is likely to have a shot in a primary.
The bottom line is that Joe is much more concerned about the security of Israel than he is about whether Iraq is good policy for the United States. And he's more than willing to use every BS weasel words and lies to support this disasterous war and by extention, Bush.
Thanks for being a voice of decency in a political arena filled with partisan zealots on both wings of the party. Go Joe!
If you're not "partisan", than what are you? Nothing? A dummy without enough knowledge or who haven't given things enough thought to form an opinion?
Non-partisanship is a myth. The only thing in the middle of the road are dead skunks and white stripes.
And Joe isn't non-partisan, he's kissing Bush's ass and angling for some reward, which evidently he's about to get. Bush is even using good old Joe to provide cover for the continued killing and waste in Iraq.
Joe Lieberman is a spineless toady with an agenda, even moreso than those you lable "partisan".
And that's always struck me as the stupidest complaint ever. What the hell is "non-partisan"? Does that mean that you don't adhere to any philosophy at all?
To hell with that. If you haven't formed a view of what is right or wrong, you shouldn't be in politics and shouldn't be allowed to have an opinion.
He has lots of views, he has lots off issue positions. He just doesn't carry on like a rabid dog about them, like too many in politics do in America today.
It's a question not of issue positions - he has them, agree or disagree. It's a question of style, and he seems like decent guy.
He's very progressive on cultural issues -- choice, guns, etc. He's probably too hawkish on the war, but then so is Hillary Clinton these days. Go figure Dope.
First, what political figures do you consider "rabid dogs", and secondly, seeming like a nice guy just isn't my main criteria for whether a politician is worth supporting.
Lieberman is actively damagine all Democrats with his dead wrong rhetoric, and millions of Democrats certainly don't appreciate him giving 'aid and comfort to the enemy' in a time of war.
Most people think Lieberman is too liberal, as he has a 100% voting record in support of a women's right to choose and a zero % voting record with the NRA.
Taking a more hawkish position on the war may be wrong, but certainly doesn't disqualify him from being a Democrat. With that kind of Nazi-like thinking, we will end up with about 25 people left in our party.
But calling people Nazis is the way to build the party?
Tell us just how thinking Lieberman is a jerk for both kissing Bush's ass and for actively trying to help out Bush just when the Dems have him on the ropes is "Nazi-like".
Seriously. This should be good.
Don't twist my words, young woman.
What's Nazi like is when Democrats try to screen out the good with the bad and say, basically, guys like Lieberman should switch parties, etc. That's the clear and irrefutable conclusion from your attacks on him -- that he's not a good-enough Democrat for the party.
Let's keep the tent big. Let's respect each other for our differences. Let's be proud of all Democrats. Let's not pick and choose. We need all wings to make our big, bad party fly over America. God Bless the Dope.
Anon, I'm not twisting your words. Hell, you just said it was "nazi-like" to "screen out the good with the bad and say, basically, guys like Lieberman should switch parties, etc."
That's absolutly nuts. You had better go read your history before casually throwing around the word "Nazi", as you obviously know nothing whatsoever about it.
Leiberman is worthless. And that's taking into account his other more moderate views. The guy is a snooze and does more damage to the party than good.
He should switch parties, or better yet, just go away and work for AIPAC or something.
Netanyahoo, you're a freak. Glad you're in the Middle East and not in the Middle West with those radical extremist views. Telling us the Lieberman should switch parties is reaks of radical extremism.
Tell that to women who adore his 100% pro choice record. Tell that to the NRA who hates his 100% pro-gun control record. Tell that to educators who have praised his innovated educational reform and spending plans for 20 years. Tell that to environmentalists who have given him award after award for his pro environmental issues.
It's very hard to take your hyperventilating seriously.
Lieberman is a jerk, a detriment to the party, and we'd all be better off without him.
You don't need to get all out of breath and freaked out calling me a "radical extremist".... what a butt rod. It sounds like you're just the sort of conservative who'd love Joe.
Anyone that thinks that anyone who thinks little of Lieberman is a "radical extemeist" is a radical themselves.
You sound just like the type that screams and yells and has a fit every time anyone disagrees with you. Bet you're single too, eh?
Anyway, I'm not alone. There's thousands of people who think Lieberman is a horrible embarassment to the party and has been for a long time, beginning about the time he rolled over like a bitch and all but conceeded the 2000 election despite mountainous evidence of fraud and the fact that all the votes had not been counted.
The guy is gutless, a traitor to his party, and all the pro-choice, anti-gun positions in the world won't change that.
He just loves to get his picture taken with Bush, kisses his ass every chance he gets, and not only disagrees with many members of the party, but actively seeks to criticize them publically to further suck up to Republicans and Bush. If he wants to live in the same fantasy land that Bush, Cheney and the rest inhabit, good for Joe. But you don't then write an editorial in the most conservative newspaper in America.
Who needs him?
I'm a "radical extremist" eh? Is Don Imus a radical extremist too?
Imus ripped Lieberman a new one and all but said he was nuts and willfully lying when he interviewed Somonex Joe on his show. And Imus is a pal of Joey.
Click here and watch it for yourself.
You're a scary person if you think someone who opposes traitors to th party like Lieberman is "nazi-like" and a "radical extremist."
You must be a very scared person who imagines himself surrounded by radicals behind every rock or tree.
What's terrifying to the health of the Democratic Party in the long run is having someone hand pick who is acceptable and who is not based on one issue or two issues -- even though that Senator has a very progressive voting record on a whole slew of issues.
That is very counterproductive and narrow-minded. That is my point.
It takes all wings to fly this Democratic Party plane.
Yeah, right into the ground maybe.
It takes two wings to fly. A right and a left. (or four, port and starboard, if you're talking aircraft)
And if you're actually "terrified" and believe that "someone" is able to "hand-pick" who is acceptible or not, you must be onto one hell of a conspiracy tale and must quake under your covers every night.
I would point out that it's not just a few whackos who feel Lieberman is WAY WAY WAY out of line, it's millions of Dems, including such "radical extremists" as Nancy Pelosi and many other prominent Dems.
As I said, it takes a certain type of assh*le to take out a huge editorial in essentially the opposition newspaper supporting the reckless and discredited "war" policies of Bush and Co., then make a statement scolding Dems for criticizing Bush.... not for criticizing the war mind you... for criticizing BUSH!!!
Bush then quotes Liberman giving the false sense that the Dems support his lunatic policies.
That's absolute bullshit. I'm sorry. And anyone who pulls that sort of crap deserves all the criticism he so rightly deserves.
There's opposition and holding a contrary view, then there's being an out and out traitor to the party who actively hurts their goals and agenda, which is the catagory Joe Lieberman has occupied for years now, only more reprehensibly lately.
Get the hell out Joe. You're doing more harm than good. Get out.
You can NOT be serious Bill.
The guy is actively working AGAINST the party.
He never misses a chance to bang on Dems, all in an effort to make himself appear holier than thou.
I've had enough of pious opportunistic blowhards like Smokin' Joe, and so have millions of others.
It's also interesting that you, like old Somonex Joe, try to tell me who I should and shouldn't criticize and how.
But you tell me to go after Rove and the rest instead of Joe, while ignoring that it's freaking JOE HIMSELF that is lecturing all Dems to NOT go after Bush, to stop being so mean to the poor president, and all rally around this disasterous war!!!
Which is it?
I can't stand that loathsome backstabbing worthless toad.
Anyone that supports and defends Joe Leiberman ought to take a long hard look at their own party affiliation as well.
