Lieberman is on This Week SUPPORTING the sale of the ports

[Coexist]

Someone - please do something about this man.

He said, "right now I don't know enough to say that we should."

also, "several areas of the ports are already in foreign hands (or control or something)"

Where is the outrage you idiot.

[Greeby]

1. Take Fredo for a boat ride, - support Ned Lamont

http://www.nedlamont.com :bounce:

[cybildisobedience]

13. THAT would make a great bumper sticker!

[liveoaktx]

31. VIDEO

Doh! Hope this bites him in the ass at election time

[Coexist]

33. thanks again for all you do!

[Coexist]

2. FYI - the show is This Week with George Stephanopolous

sorry for the quick and dirty post - I was trying to type and listen at the same time.

3. It wouldn't have any bearing on actual real-life events of course, but

it would make me feel alot better if someone in Hollywood would film another GODZILLA movie:

GODZILLA versus Joe Lieberman.

In this installment, Godzilla hunts down and then destroys by degree a muddle-headed Senator from Connecticut. I'll pay full price & buy a huge tub of popcorn as well.

[Coexist]

5. I would buy out the theater - and invite all my friends!

[saltpoint]

21. : ) Yeah! / nt

[rodeodance]

4. it is true--many ports are currently under foreign management--now

they would be under Arab management if sale goes thru.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

9. THAT IS JUST CRAZY

Am I the only one who thinks this way?

[Coexist]

10. No, Grannie - it is not right - not if we are fighting a war

to keep terrorists from getting into this country to "blow us all up".

Really. You can't have it both ways.

[louis c]

6. Lieberman is the worst piece of shit in the Senate

from either party.

Bush owns his soul.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

12. I think he's a lovely man

and if he lived next door I'd invite him over all the time. But it is time for him to retire and write books or something.

[Twist_U_Up]

24. I beg to differ

There are many that are equally as treasonous as him. How do you think we got where we are today.

[Coexist]

26. and I thought this was going to be an

"thats an insult to shit" response.
You got me!

[Twist_U_Up]

36. hehe , just sayin n/t

[rodeodance]

7. Lindsey Grahm said the deal was 'tone death' with the Ameican people but

in same sentence he said what joe said. Have to study it.

[Coexist]

8. the details don't matter - really - the idea is absurd on it's face

it is not smart - no matter how you try to spin it.

[Keefer]

11. I support...

Hillary in her quest to end this madness. Our ports run by non-American firms while we are "at war?" Sorry, it doesn't fly.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

14. Welcome to DU, Keefer!

:hi:

[Keefer]

16. Thank you,

ncrainbowgrrl!!! Long time lurker, decided it was time to get my feet wet.

[Dr. Jones]

29. Welcome to DU Keefer...

Leiberman is a turncoat for sure...sad! But true. Was he bought and paid for by Bush?

[Keefer]

32. I don't know...

... if he was paid for, but bought? Yes. We're so far in the hole budget-wise, we can't pay for toilet paper. :)

Thank you for the welcome, BTW!

[xiamiam]

15. I think we should start taking names..Lieberman is first

and the 12 member panel who pushed this thru after two months of review...with no investigation into the background of employees or management or in place system for hiring employees.. and Bush..

[Coexist]

17. someone in Connecticut needs to get that clip to Ned Lamont

that should help him out a little amongst the conservative Dems, and some Republicans!!1

[flyarm]

18. he also said fema doesn't work and needs to be killed..

and start something new...

well fema wasn't broken until * killed it!

i lived in the valley of LA in the northridge earthquake...i lost my home as did most of my neighbors and town...

and fema worked under clinton...and James Lee Whitt...fema worked until * scraped it under homeland security..

and as for that sob LIE BER mAN..get that fucker out of my party...so joe...who did hijack two airlines on 9/11?? and where did their money come from...

ohhh and by the way joe...

remember Osama Bin Laden was in an american hospital in july/aug 2001 in Dubai..and was visted by the chief CIA agent of Dubai....

is this a * pay off joe??????????????

fly

[babylonsister]

19. And Boxer is talking about how dangerous this would be.

Says Americans need to be running the ports. Go, Sen. Boxer!

[Coexist]

22. not to mention all THE BIPARTISAN support this has

Lieberman is clearly taking his cue directly from the adminstration, and not from party leadership.

L. Graham, E. Bayh, etc.

[ecstatic]

20. And people will look at him and think that is the Dem view overall nt

[flyarm]

23. thats why rove makes sure he is on these shows!..n/t

[Coexist]

25. actually, I think he has been desperately making the rounds

because of his challenger. He wants to seem more "plugged in" and "experienced and respected".

[onenote]

27. quibble: the ports are not being sold

The British company that currently has contracts to manage variouis US ports is being sold to a ports management company owned by the United Arab Emirates.

28. Chambliss and Harman just came out against the sale

on Blitzer.

[proud2BlibKansan]

30. That is not support

I watched it too. It is a stretch to say he supports it. He said, as you quoted, that he needs more information. We all do. Nothing wrong with that statement.

I am no Lieberman fan. But to say he supports this just because he didn't speak out strongly against it is misleading and just not right, IMO.

[Coexist]

34. I typed the post as soon as the first sentence- where he says

he thinks it is okay - was out of his mouth.

At that time - he did support it - then backtracked a little -but he does say, that until he finds out a reason to NOT support it - due diligence has been done.

That is not being against it by any stretch of the imagination.

[annabanana]

35. HEY?! Leiberman ? The guy who only

keeps his support by being uber proIsrael? Is he senile? WTF is going on with this guy?

[AndreaCG]

37. I gave money to Lamont

May have to give more.

[AntiFascist]

38. All the more evidence that Lieberman is really....

the evil Sen. Palpatine!
