    For the record

    Lieberman is a dem I could vote for for Prez. Just saying.
    "Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever they can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser; in fees, expenses and waste of time." -- Abraham Lincoln, (1809-1865) Lawyer and President who saved the United States.

    If for no other reason it would be fun to watch Gore's head explode if Lieberman won.

    I do agree with a lot of his positions, and he is one of the more...errrr, only... level-headed members of his party. However, the following would probably keep me from supporting him:
    • Pro-choice, voted against the partial birth abortion ban.
    • Supports drivers licenses for illegals.
    • Supports reparations.
    • Takes starkly contradictory positions on affirmative action, but most recently supports it.
    • Supports expansion of "hate crime" laws to cover more classes
    • Supports rehab over prison for criminals
    • Opposes ANWR drilling
    • Supports repeal of Bush tax cuts, says tax the "rich" more and everyone else less

    Sorry, couldn't vote for him.

    He probably won't be a democrat for much longer.

    And I too, would vote for him.

    But Hillary has come out against him, so that's a plus.

    No she hasn't. She only said that she would support whoever won her party's nomination, which was basically the only tenable position for her to take.

    I don't think the Jewish thing would make a difference either.

    Re: For the record

    I like Lieberman a lot. I agree with him on more issues than any potential
    prospect for 08. In January, I had the pleasure of meeting him and I told
    him that I'd really like to see him run in '08, and he laughed, then said
    "well thank you, that's very kind, but I don't think my party will support me"

    Become a repbulican then.

    Point taken. IOW, she's a mind-numbed robot who will support whomever the party aparatchiks nominate. Kind of a narrow view from the "world's smartest woman." Got it, thanks.

    How's he gonna do that, when he's pro-gay marriage, pro-choice, anti-school prayer, and anti-tax cut?

    It's the only view she CAN take, assuming she wants her party's support in 08.

    I know. But of all the potential candidates for 08, I like him best, by far.
    He's not gonna overturn RvW, the courts are set now.

    I disagree. I think she could dye her hair purple and wear a "F--- the USA" t-shirt while publicly calling the entire Democrat party a bunch of jacka$$es and they'd still hand her the nomination if she wants it. Seriously.
