They need Lieberman now but after next Jan. when they have a majority of 55 or more then he will be expendable. Then he will need them. Of course I would say WE do not want him, as he is quite a lefty on issues other than security.
“presumed Republican nominee John McCain” v “Democrats’ standard-bearer, Barack Obama”
Why is McCain, who cinched his party’s nomination in February, the “resumed” nominee, while Obama IS the standard-bearer ?
Interesting and oh so revealing that this AP writer describes Liebermans actions as “betrayal”, while these non-biased, straight shooting media types refer to McCains antics as those of a “maverick!”
But we absolutely do not want Lieberman on or anywhere near the ticket.
further proof that anyone who isn’t drinking the Kool-Aid is not one of the Beautiful People.

John Kerry's phrase for anyone that tells the truth: Attack dogs.
He called the Swift Boat people, attack dogs too.
Ping.
At first I thought Obama's intimidation tactics were a put-on, maybe he didn't realize the cameras were running in the Senate, or maybe he's so arrogant that he feels entitled. It's an interesting insight into BHO's personality.
One of the ironies of this campaign while the GOP fight for over the McCain wing of the party getting a nominee for the second time since maybe Ike is described as a schism, there is a real battle for the heart and soul of the Dim party going on.
From time to time a party will nominate a candidate from their wing towards the center and some party activists will be disapointed. The GOP really not done this since maybe G.H.W. Bush unless you want to claim Dole is in the McCain wing.
On the other hand the Dims have over the last couple of decades excluded more and more ideas, ie pro life, strong defense etc and now they have nominated the most left candidate in US political history. The Lieberman’s of the party and there are not many left nationally, but some locally too are fighting to maintain a place for themselves in this party. So will they become the party of blacks and egg heads?
The problems in Iran are the fault of the Democrats and Jimmy Carter. He singlehandedly turned a staunch ally into a terrorist enemy.
The four-term Connecticut senator, who came tantalizingly close to being Al Gore’s vice president in 2000
I have to agree, Senator Lieberman did come pretty close to becoming Al Gores vice president. I may be going out on a limb here, but I dont think you could get any closer to being Gores vice president. Especially after the convention, being on the ticket and all.
Sheesh!
Someone needs to show sKerry what a real attack does! I can just see this total doof of an athlete running away!
Goldstein (from 1984 by Orwell)
Lieberman is to the Democrats, what Trotsky was to Stalin and Goldstein was to Big Brother in "1984". The traitor Jew serving as projection of hate.
I cant get over how much legitimacy Kerry is still given. Even Democrats in his home state of MA want to put someone on the ticket to de-throne him this fall because he never does anything!! (Except ski in Europe)
And to be honest they should count themselves as lucky at this point in time. Can you imagine what he would do for them? /shudder
