Lieberman scolds fellow Democrats for not standing up at SOTUS!

[Cascadian]

Anybody watch or hear tonight's debate? Did anybody hear or see what Joe Lieberman said? He said he was "tired of the partisan politics in Washington and then he chasitses other Democrats for not showing Bush any respect standing up or applauding during the state of the Union speech? I almost gagged.


:puke:

[PROGRESSIVE1]

being ABBL, "Anyone but Bush or Lieberman"

3. The next Zell Miller?

Hopefully, after next Tuesday, the good Senator can return to shilling for his insurance companies, and enjoy his frequent visits with Sean Hannity.

9. lol, Lieberman is Miller Lite n/t

[Cascadian]

11. Did you think he will do a "Zell Miller" and endorse Bush?

eom

4. That's not quite what he said

He was taking a stand against polarizing presidents -- on the left OR right. Far from chastising his own colleagues in the Senate, he was making the case that if he were president, he'd be able to attract support from both sides of the aisle. Now you may not agree with that, but that's no reason to twist his statements.

6. I am happy the Democrats just sat there.

Bush did not deserve the Democrats respect. They got my repsect that night until Daschle and Pelosi's docile response. Then I thought "Oh well. Busniess as usual!" :eyes:

7. Lieberman is a wimp and I would not trust him with our national security.

He will not fight far right-wing policy. I think that this would be what he would do in other situations also. He is a wimp.

13. Shouldn't Respect Bush

I would take it then that the Democrats a couple of weeks ago did the right thing by not standing for Bush at the State of the Union ... In fact, they rose too much if they stood at all.

Never should a "leader" -- who lies to the nation to start a war that gets over 500 GIs and thousands of innocent Iraqis killed -- be given any sign of respect whatsoever.

15. Why would he want to reach out to a bunch of neocons???

These people have succeeded in polarizing the country. Reaching out the Republicans is like a rabbit trying to reach out to a wolf right before he is about eat him. Honestly, Lieberman does more to weaken the Democrats than any other person in politics. Him and Zell Miller.

21. Lieberman reaches out to Neocons

because he is one himself.
He agreed with the war; Joe is very hawkish on sending other people's kids to fight wars.

Dean always gets trashed because he went skiing, but what about Joe?
Where was he during Vietnam?

This war was a travesty, we were lied to, 500+ dead, 2500+ wounded,
yet he still thinks it was a great idea, because he wants to make the Middle East over for Israel. And that is exactly the goal of PNAC.

5. huh? fellow dems? dont you have to be a dem to be a fellow dem?

[Myra]

8. Let me say this about that...

Screw him.
More important, screw Bush.

[Carni]

10. Him and the horse he rode in on...

If you get my drift!
How DARE he?
I couldn't even hold my nose and vote for that "man"

[funkyflathead]

12. Did the Repukes ever stand for Clinton?

Anybody know??

[Kurovski]

14. Joe forgets that it's not easy to stand

while you're being steamrolled.

[peacetalksforall]

16. How can one sentence reveal so much?

Hey Joe, there are more important things to talk about.

Hey Joe, what did you say when wingers treated Clinton like a piece of dirt?

[Cascadian]

18. Lieberman joined in attacking Clinton.

Just utterly pathetic. And people wonder why there are those who hate Lieberman.


John

[LittleDannySlowhorse]

20. When he attacked Clinton

he was just "reaching across the aisle"!

[bloom]

17. I'm there too...

:puke:

[Cascadian]

19. kick

[0rganism]

22. Really? I think it's more of a dig at bush for dividing the nation

At first, I thought he was lashing out at the Democrats, and then I was like... "oh, yeah, I think I see what he means, but it's a helluva way to get there."

I don't think Joe scored any "base points" with that bit.
