Hey Lieberman, whose team are you on?!?
I just caught a blurb on CNN Headline News. Lieberman said something today about Dean and Clark being "rookies"?!? ARRRGH, we don't need Republicans to beat us when we've got Holy Joe on a rampage bringing down his fellow Democrats AND giving Rove plenty of ammo come the general election when one of those guys just might be our nominee.

Explain, please, Joe, how your tenure as a senator outranks Dean's as a governor. Explain how Clark's significant foreign policy experience translates into him being a "rookie."

Arrgh, I'm just so mad I could spit.

2. I'd bet you would vote for Bush over Joe, too?
Figures. :-(

I'm hardcore Dean and yes what Joe said was wrong and uncalled for but I'd vote for him anyday over Bush.

4. Well of course not.
And I didn't say that. I would proudly vote for any of the other 8 Democrats, but if Lieberman is the nominee I will need to hold my nose to do it. But I WOULD do it, because as bad as he is, he's no *.

10. No hard feelings.
It's been a tough few years for us Democrats, we can all jump to conclusions a little too readily. I am faaaaaar from innocent on that.

11. Dang, now that IS a better question.
I'm hoping I just haven't seen it yet, but has Lieberman criticized * about anything?

9. You won't last long at DU putting words in other's mouths, and
making strawman arguments. He said nothing about NOT supporting LIEberman if he is the eventual nomineee. You owe this person an apology.

17. If Joe gets the Dem nod for Pres then we'll lose in '04.

I don't think John Q Undecided shares your die-hard view of Holy Joe over *.

Let's just hope that Joe realizes that the party is better off if he steps aside.

If he is getting cool receptions and downright hostility (being booed at his meet-ups) for sticking his foot in his mouth then he should realize that he doesn't have the stuff.

Most politicians, or egomaniacs, can't see the forest throught the trees. They believe that everybody loves them and that their word is gold.

8. I've got 10 bucks that says I don't ever get a chance
to vote for Lieberman other than Nov. 2000 as a Democrat.

12. I would write in my dog Jake before I would vote for Joe L.
Edited on Sun Oct-19-03 10:15 PM by fla nocount
So it's a wasted vote. Integrity is worth something intrinsic in this vail of tears. Lieberman would be worse than Bush just as Mussolini was worse than Franco. At least now we get the illusion of duplicity in foreign policy, Lieberman would give us the reality.....without apology. Holy Joe is wholey owned........think Bush is a puppet? Elect Leiberman and you will see the strings, they'll be painted in blood.

This is in no way an endorsement of the Bush campaign. It's an endorsement of my noble, loyal and fair good dog Jake.....my snake is named Joe and he's not a good candidate. He just eats and lays around, eats and lays around....been doing it for years.

16. Rookies seem to be winning elections these days.
Look at Schwing boy in California. The key seems to be that they need to be convincing actors. Maybe Lieberman should take some acting classes? I don't think he's winning because he comes across as being far too wimpy for the job.
