Lieberman Tells Democrats to STFU About President Bush

[TwilightZone]

It is time for Democrats who distrust President Bush to acknowledge that he will be Commander-in-Chief for three more critical years, and that in matters of war, we undermine Presidential credibility at our nation’s peril.

Joe really needs to get himself taken off of the "Rove talking points" mailing list. His ass-kissing is getting old.

I'm beginning to think that he needs to make his change from (D) to (R) official instead of just assumed.

1. Freedom of speech is a two-way street, Lieberman n/t

[Broken_Hero]

21. in the great words of George Carlin...

"no shit!"....:)

[zanne]

44. Lieberman wants to be the lead speaker...

at the Republican convention.

[TwilightZone]

45. Zell, version 2.0

Your comment may be closer to the truth than many of us would like to believe!

[cboy4]

2. Thanks Joe, but I refuse to STFU

Just sayin

[wtmusic]

3. Wait just a second -- WHO is "undermining Presidential credibility"

besides the president himse3f?

More apropos: who is undermining Democratic Party credibility... :eyes:

[TwilightZone]

14. Joe apparently thinks that we are...

by criticizing the "president" during a time of war.

First question, Joe: what war? When did Congress declare war?

(Ok, that's two questions. :) )

[Monk06]

4. Leiberman = Hans Frank.

[marmar]

5. Gawd am I sick of this asshole...

Connecticut: Please, PLEASE retire him! He is nothing but a poison pill.

[geomon666]

6. We don't like republicans Joe.

That includes Bush and you.

[dweller]

7. hey, Joe you Shmoe

i'm killing this thread.

so, stfu.
dp

[Ringo84]

8. No

Here's an idea, Lieberman. Why don't YOU STFU. Thanks.
Ringo

[Hardrada]

9. LIEberman = Kapo

[smtpgirl]

10. That will be the nail in

Lieberman's coffin, If I lived in CT, I would follow that bastard across that small state and personally tell him STFU!!

There are many in CT who don't have the balls or the access to do that.

Lieberman, that is why Gore lost 2000

[CTyankee]

35. If you could find him in CT! I certainly don't know where he lives now

since he sold his home in New Haven.

I know he and Hadassah have an apt. in D.C. and she is working there. I am guessing that he has an "address" in CT just to be legally able to represent the state in the Senate. Next time I go to Lamont headquarters I am going to check.

[Cha]

38. Thanks, find out if

lie-berman even lives outside that anal beltway anymore.

[DELUSIONAL]

11. Somebody tell that a** h*** that bushie isn't MY commander in chief

and he NEVER will be -- since I'm not in the military.

This is sort of, kind of, something like a democracy -- and we KNOW that bush was never ever elected to the office he makes claims to.

So Lieberman -- dumb idiot -- shut up.

He is a jerk --

I like Gore but I never ever liked Lieberman -- the guy is a creep -- he makes my skin crawl.

Yeck -- slime.

[bobbieinok]

55. remember 'that traitorous Oliver North" (MMalloy) in VA senate run??

He said repeatedly and quite proudly that Clinton 'is not MY commander-in-chief.'

[TwilightZone]

57. Good point.

I'm sure he wasn't the only one. To them, the "don't criticize the president" meme only applies when the president is a Republican. Otherwise, he's fair game. It certainly didn't stop Republicans from criticizing Clinton.

[RagAss]

12. getting old and tired there Joementum.....don't you have any retirement

money saved????

[tyedyeto]

13. He wants to go from (D) to (I)

so he can then vote which ever way his heart desires.

And who cares what his constituents want.

[tavalon]

52. And that's different from now in what way?

No matter the letter behind his name, Joementum cares about only one constituent - the one in the mirror.

[LincolnMcGrath]

15. Contrast that statement

to this.

[Lusted4]

16. We need to induct Lieberman into the GFOC

Get The Fuck Out Club.

[TwilightZone]

59. I like it.

He can join Zell Miller.

[Major Hogwash]

17. Bush has already put his crediblity in peril!

What cartoon has Joe been reading lately - Lil' Abner?

[Initech]

18. Bow to your sensei!!!

Yeah, right!

Fuck off, Liberman. Go ban some more video games.

[susanna]

19. Joe, kiss my posterior halves. Both sides.

On edit: vulgarity removed. Or softened. Take yer pick.

[AlCzervik]

20. "we undermine"???? WTF?? He is out of his frigging mind!

that statement pisses me off so much--AAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[Cha]

39. We "undermine" chimp's

LIES! :nopity:

[texpatriot2004]

22. Bullshit Lieberman...he will be impeached! nm

[Straight Shooter]

23. He has said something very similar to this before.

Hey, what's that I see on the horizon? Is it a McCain/Lieberman ticket? :o

[Cha]

40. Yeah, I thought it was

old business..now he's repeating it?

[Skarbrowe]

24. Normally I would agree. But GWB is impossible to stand behind on anything.

I could imagine there being a Republican president that I might be unhappy with because I would prefer a Democrat leading the country. If he or she was at least competent, had an ounce of integrity, wasn't a complete buffoon for all the world to see, I would want to stand behind my president if we had to fight some awful war somewhere. With GWB all you can do is cringe and hope that the world doesn't fall totally apart before the guy is out of office. From the looks of things, I'm not sure we're going to make it. Time goes by so slowly when change is needed so badly.

[UrbScotty]

25. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

[Reckon]

26. Joe is trying

to show his true colors before the election. Forget it, Joe, the repubs will never vote for you. Now, neither will the Dem's.

[OneBlueSky]

27. "we undermine Presidential credibility at our nation’s peril" . . .

should read "we grant credibility to THIS president at our nation's peril" . . .

[killbotfactory]

28. Yes, let's follow that crazy fuck off a cliff

Good thinkin' Joe! Douchebag.

[MzNov]

29. I have 2 words for you Joe old boy....

NED LAMONT


:bounce:

[TwilightZone]

58. Those weren't the first two words I thought of.

:)

[pa28]

30. I wonder if he supported President Clinton with as consistently.

He's about to get a vote of no confidence.

Instead of trying to protect his political career maybe he should take a good long look in the mirror.

[TwilightZone]

47. He was pretty vocal in his criticism of Clinton during Monicagate.

I guess he didn't consider that "undermining" the presidency.

Ah, double standards. How Republican of him.

[sellitman]

31. Joe undermines Senatorial credibility at our Nations peril.

I hope he looses his election in a landslide. I know he won't be getting a vote out of my household. My wife and son will vote with me.

Go Lamont!!!!

[fordnut]

32. Bush and Lieberman have no credibility

[vademocrat]

33. I think I'll send him a postcard with the Teddy Roosevelt quote -

as a reminder that the President is nobody special in our Democracy. Notice the date - at the end of WWI, so he was speaking of a "war president":

"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."

"Roosevelt in the Kansas City Star", 149
May 7, 1918

[jackstraw45]

53. EXCELLENT...send it to the CT newspapers

& the Lamont campaign.

What a perfect Roosevelt quote for today.

[TwilightZone]

54. Bush obviously believes otherwise

To be more accurate, Cheney believes otherwise. Cheney believes that the power of the presidency should be absolute and unquestioned.

My favorite part of that quote: "But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."

Cheney's version: "We must lie constantly about the president to protect our nation's interests. Interests meaning my wallet."

[dogday]

34. Democrats need to tell Lieberman to STFU period

just shut your mouth Joe and don't say another word... Are you rounding up the republican independent votes with that statement? Everything you do is self serving....

[TwilightZone]

42. I'm not sure who he thinks he's pandering to.

Bush's approval rating in CT is only 30% (SurveyUSA.com), so he's alienating a large portion of his target audience by supporting Bush.

[mmonk]

36. Sorry Joe, I'm an American.

A real one. We don't STFU.

[leesa]

37. Joe, je's not OUR Commander in Chief. It's UNPATRIOTIC to NOT

question your government. Of course, I've always wondered whose government this guy works for...

[Buns_of_Fire]

41. Dear Joe; I need to raise a slight point of order.

Unless you've forgotten (as you apparently have), WE the voters don't take orders from YOU the "public servant."

Forget this truism at your own peril.

[BulletproofLandshark]

43. Citizens Of Connecticut:

Please get this "democratic" albatross off of the party's back on primary day. If he can somehow be beaten in the Democratic primary, it would at least send a message to other Vichy Democrats who would undermine traditional progressive values.

[Totally Committed]

46. This man is an arrogant PUTZ...

Voters of CT: Vote this a**hole out of office resoundingly, please? Beat him so bad he NEVER comes back. I am begging you.

TC

[GeorgeGist]

48. Joe is such a schmuck

[Kajsa]

56. I love that image!

That's the best I've seen for a long time.

Oh, about Lieberman.

He's full of it and shows he knows little
regarding how a democracy is run.

i.e. We Question Authority!
especially when that " authority" is George W. Bush

:dem:

[porphyrian]

49. Fuck Lieberman.

Who listens to his mumbly ass anyway?

[slaveplanet]

50. Shrub is commander in chief

of the military.

He is not CIC of civilian Democrats.

[LSK]

51. when you try to keep a monkey out of the drivers seat

You are saving the car and the other drivers.

[Deja Q]

60. What nation? We're selling out to everyone else.
