Sen Joe LIEberman is a first class poseur and is notorious for being on both sides of the political fence. He says one thing to make people believe he's a "moderate" when his actions show he does the exact opposite.

EXHIBIT ONE: LIEberman's biggest scam was getting into the Senate on the backs of the unborn. This craven individual, Lieberman, ruthlessly used the unborn to get into office.

BACKSTORY: As a 1988 Senate candidate, Lieberman made many, many pro-life pledges to Connecticut Catholic leaders as Atty General running for pro-abort Sen Weicker's seat. Based on a Lieberman poll indicating pro-life votes were there for the taking, Lieberman courted Catholics, and made pro-life promises that he had no intention of keeping. Lieberman got into the Senate----with pro-life votes. Once in office, Lieberman turned tail and became an unwavering abortion rights supporter, voting consistently pro-abortion, and even voting to uphold partial-birth abortion on six separate occasions. The Ntl Right to Life Committee has meeting notes of candidate Lieberman's calculated, phony pro-life pledges.

EXHIBIT TWO: Lieberman and ex-Reagan Edu Secy Bill Bennett would give out "Silver Sewer Awards" to express opposition to Hollywood's salacious,sexually explicit and violent music, TV and movie output. Then when Lieberman became Gore's running mate, he went to Hollywood on bended knee, in obeisance to the moguls, promising to strengthen Hollywood's ultra-liberal control over America, in exchange for votes and campaign financing.

EXHIBIT THREE: Lieberman's a dedicated gun-grabber - as his voting record clearly shows.

EXHIBIT FOUR: Lieberman famously went on and on during impeachment hearings about Bill Clinton's sexual conduct, but refused to cast his vote against Clinton when it counted.

EXHIBIT FIVE: Lawmakers With Relatives on Payroll By The Associated Press Wednesday, April 13, 2005 ----Connecticut Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman: Son Matthew received about $34,000 and daughter Rebecca about $36,000 for working on the senator's 2004 presidential campaign.

EXHIBIT SIX: LIEberman was so "supportive" of the US military that he was willing to become vice-president by NOT counting Florida's military vote. The man is not fit to have anything to do with the US military.

Does Ann Coulter still live in Shay's district?

She does???? Can we get her to run? The Debate would be pay per view events!

Chris Shays thinks it will help him win liberal crossover votes. He faces a tough reelection this year.

I'd call Shays a dumbass, but that's kinda like calling water "wet."

It's a good idea.

Lieberman's all wet on a lot of things, but he's great on the WOT, and it's important to have at least some people on the other side of the isle that realizes politics should stop at the water's edge.

I do think it probably will get Shayes some crossover votes, and that's good too.
