Joe Lieberman’s war stance
Like Cindy Lauper once trilled, don’t be afraid to let your true colors shine through.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut said today while he has no immediate plans to become a Republican, he might change his mind if Democrats oppose funding the war in Iraq. “I have no desire to change parties,” Lieberman told the Politico. “If that ever happens, it is because I feel the majority of Democrats have gone in a direction that I don’t feel comfortable with.”
Put your money where your mouth is Joe!
If he leaves the Democrats, then that is his choice. Shoot, maybe the Republicans will even give him a Chairmanship too. But that will spell the end of Lieberman’s career. The Senate will have to actually do something as all those Republican Senators up for re-election in ’08 will need to explain to the electorate their support of Bush. All the while the House will be holding hearing after hearing exposing all the crap coming out of the Administration.
The worst thing the Republicans can hope for is Lieberman leaves the Democrats. I can easily live with him gone and the Republicans looking at the worst defeat imaginable in ’08.
Bush’s Iraq debacle has transcended GOP vs dem, lib vs. con.
The core issue is:
We’ve obviously lost this war. So, what the hell do we do now?
It’s not a partisan issue — its an acceptance of reality issue. Liberman is on the wrong side of this issue.
