The only people who are to the right of Joe are George W and John McFalwell.
He is no more a liberal than Messers Noonan and Margolis. You know what a RINO is? He is a DINO.
If George Bush stopped fast, it would take the doctors 3 days to dig Joe's nose out of George's butt.
Joe has some big 'splaining to do, otherwise, his next job in government will be in the last 2 years of the bush administration.

First of all, oh presient one, this is a primary. Lieberman himself won his seat on an anti-Vietnam platform against a Democratic incumbent. It would be poetic for him to go down for being a war apologist.
But, more importantly, thank you for your deep concern for the Democratic Party. We will not forget your loving suggestions.

Joe,
Lieberman opposes drilling in ANWR, supports public schools, wants what amounts to a windfall profits tax on oil companies, is sponsoring anti-trust legislation against the oil companies, opposes President Bush's EPA nominee, is a firm supporter of the radical view of global warming, voted against Alito...if he ain't liberal, then I don't know what is.
You see, you don't want liberals - you want anti-Bush fanatics...and Lieberman, decent and patriotic liberal that he is, won't play in your political gutter...

Winnow,
Ummm, Lieberman won his Senate seat by gift of Catholic voters, many of whom were motivated by Bill Buckley in his bid to get rid of the really horrible Senator Wieker. He was known as a social conservative all along - but, hey, he's an orthodox Jew and so you're not going to get someone like him out there marching in favor of gay marriage.
You need the Joe Lieberman's - if you've no room for them, while the GOP has room for Giuliani, Schwarzenegger and McCain, then you're political toast.
Posted by: Mark Noonan at May 24, 2006 04:25 AM
Mark,
I should have said he won his entrance into politics in Conneticut as an anti-war candidate.
By the time he made it to the Senate, he was probably more conservative than the republican candidate...

Couldn't have said it better myself, and you're correct about chaps like Arnold, Rudy, and McLame. We may not agree with all of their beliefs, but all three possess a solid core when it comes to this country. what the kookbats fail to remember is that the government's number one priority is supposed to be is to protect this country and its people. I could trust Arnold, Rudy, McLame, even Lieberman to do this. Heck, I could even trust Hitlery, if she waren't so hawkish on taxes.
They might get away with this in CT, but they'd never be able to advance a lib in flyover country...

Joe and winnowhead, with no due respect, you're both full of crap. In 2004 Lieberman's rating with the American Conservative Union was ZERO, while in 2005 it was 8% (tied with those other two "Dinos", Schumer and Kerry). Only 15 members (all Democrats) of the Senate scored lower than Lieberman in 2005. The fact that your main gripe with Lieberman is that he takes his constitutional oath to "protect this country against all enemies, foreign and domestic", speaks volumes about your loyalty to this country.
Congressive, watch out for the black helocopters.

I never understood ANWR opposition to EXPLORITORY drilling w a min footprint.
I worked the oilpatch for 2 yrs to pay-off my college loans. Any oil company must first exploritory drill to ESTABLISH a geological map to determine if profitable reserves exist at all.
until then, it's all hot air on both sides.
next - MEMBERS OF BOTH PARTIES sucessfully blocked additional continental shelf drilling. Consequently, the GOP has lost my respect regarding ANWR.
lastly, I'd of voted for Liberman over W. but the dems were completely deceived by lieutenant kerry & ignored his perjurious "winter soldier" testimony known by him to be false before he swore to it.

Whether or not Joementum survives this race with a real Democrat will be decided by DEMOCRATS. This site may fawn over the senator's new love for all things Bush, but we are changing the party -- and not in an incremental way. Time to go warmongers!

Any Democrat who supports war is a warmonger and should join the Republican War Party. The next 2 elections are going to be about who wants war and who does not. If that means that the Democratic Party is destroyed so be it. We will stand-up the Peace Party and take on the War Party. Peace

You MUST be kidding. Hillary has NO PRINCIPLES; she is guided only by the polls and her desire to get elected.
Just ask someone that knows her well what she is really like, say, Vince Foster.
Ooops, never mind.

Winnow,
On matters of morals, yes, Lieberman was the more conservative candidate for Senate...but GOPers worked to elect him not on that score, but on the fact that Weicker was a loose cannon and an embarrasment to the GOP...

Sorry, saliva, but Joe doesn't support "all things Bush." Of course, your delusional ass wouldn't know that. And you're gonna change the DemocRAT party to what, a bunch of kook libs? Sorry, boy, but that won't go over in flyover country. You're an idiot.
We will stand-up the Peace Party and take on the War Party. Peace
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
Steve, you are a hoot! You, Dennis Kookcinich, and Cindy Shriekhan are gonna stand up the Peace Party, and take on my War Party? You'll be tossin' flowers at us; we'll be tossin' grenades at you. Doesn't seem fair to me, son, but bring it on! War

Joe claims George W. is a hard right winger?
Now that is funny considering most of us conservatives don't find him conservative or a right winger at all.
Posted by: Warriornation at May 24, 2006 10:26 PM
Noonan, your casting of Lieberman as an ardent liberal reveals nothing accurate about the senator but more than a little about you. You don't know what you're talking about.
As for your dire predictions for '08, just keep on with what you're doing. Don't change a thing, please.
