Lieberman: I am the only Democrat who can beat George Bush

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Sen. Joe Lieberman, on his way to an Albany fund-raiser for his presidential campaign, said Monday he is "the only Democrat who can beat George Bush" in the 2004 election.

"The American people are not going to elect a candidate for president in 2004 who doesn't have a proven record in supporting a strong defense and in knowing how to keep America secure at home," the party's 2000 vice presidential candidate said in a radio interview.

Yea Right

[bigghurtt]

poor delusional little boy.

[fightinJAG]

Lieberman may be the only Rat who could beat Bush, but that's a far cry from saying that Lieberman WILL beat Bush!

[Husker24]

I think hes right, he is the only canadate that even has a chance. Hes the only Democrat in the past 10 years that has said one or two things that actually made since.

[stopsign]

Lieberman may be the only Rat who could beat Bush, but that's a far cry from saying that Lieberman WILL beat Bush!

Maybe so. But I am voting for Al Sharpton!

[My2Cents]

In your dreams, Loserman!

[MattAMiller]

He really is the only one with a ghost of a chance. I don't think the Democrats are interested enough in National Security to nominate him though.

[vpintheak]

If forced between the lesser of the evils I would choose Leiberman, Let us all hop it never comes to that.

[Cedric]

He's close. He's only off by one.

[Dr. Frank fan]

Actually I agree with him. If I had to vote for a Democrat of the current crop, it'd be Lieberman by a landslide. My only real problem with Lieberman is his whiny voice that we'd have to listen to on every single news broadcast for the next 4 years.... hmmm. Never mind.

[ffusco]

Lieberman: I am the only Democrat who can beat George Bush AT MAH JHONG!

[Sonny M]

He really is the only one with a ghost of a chance.

He has none. The traditional base of the democratic party loathes him. African american and hispanic voters in polls say they would never vote for somone jewish for president, and the left wing kooks hate him more then we do.

If you have any doubt, just go to a few of the lefty boards, they make Free Republic look like a Lieberman fan club.

[hnorris]

Lieberman is 'the only Democrat who can beat George Bush'?

BWA-HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Such a funny little man!

[mombonn]

Did lieberman say this with a straight face??? He couldn't beat a drum.

[LibKill]

I keep an eye on the pukes at Democratic Underground.

They HATE Lieberman.

[fightinJAG]

hahahaaahaaaa

[AuH2ORepublican]

The only RAT in the field with a snowball's chance in Hell of beating Bush is not Joe Lieberman, who would be unable to carry key Midwestern states because his social liberalism and economic moderation is political poison among Midwestern conservative Democrats. It's actually Dick Gephardt, and even Gephardt would need a massive recession and a dumber-then-usual electorate to pull it off.

[Pharmboy]

He is a MAJOR wanker...or perhaps, a tosser. I shall ask MadIvan for a clarification...

[fightinJAG]

Good--I have been missing MadIvan lately. It would be good to hear from him again.

[bribriagain]

"Lieberman, Lieberman, which one is he again?"

He's the one that does the bad Elmer Fudd impersonation.

[freekitty]

LOL

[AlwaysLurking]

I just do not see this country electing an orthodox Jew to the presidency any time in the next 100 years....Much less when there is an option to vote for GWBush!

In the upcoming democratic primary (2004) ...

BIG AL NEEDS OUR HELP! - Register as a democrat and vote for Crazy Al!

Rev. Al Sharpton is officially running for president in 2004.

During the May 3, 2003 demoncrap debate in Columbia, S.C., our man Al stated “The way to move a donkey is to slap the donkey,” and “I’m going to slap the donkey until the donkey kicks”.

Let’s help Crazy Al slap the donkey until it kicks.

Assume GW has the Republican nomination sewn up. Its time for all good republicans, libertarians, and independents to stand up and be counted. Lets take a page from Sen. McCain’s play book. Prior to the 2004 democratic presidential primary in your state, re-register as a democrat and vote for Al Sharpton!

Wouldn’t it be great if Crazy Al won! At the very least, lets ensure he gets prime time speaking rights at the 2004 nationally televised democratic convention. You gotta love it. Line up, sign up, and send this to all your like-minded friends.

Check here for the rules governing primary voting in your state:
http://www.fec.gov/votregis/primaryvoting.htm

In case you’d like to send Big Al a donation:

Anyone need a bumper sticker or button?

How about an Al Sharpton yard sign?

Oh yea, and don’t forget to call the local demoncrap party headquarters and ask them the following before the primary election:

1. Can I get a ride to the polls – help them spend their money during the primaries so they’ll have less during the national election. Have them take you the scenic route and stop off and do some shopping on the way home.
2. Are you giving anything away free for voting democrat? Cigarettes, box of cigars, box lunch, etc. Ask for two of each.
3. Send 25 cents in the mail to the DNC and watch how much they spend on mailing you to give to the party. Always send their solicitation back to them with all associated literature in the prepaid envelope included in the mailing. They have to pay that postage upon return. Great way to help them spend money and keep you up to date on their propaganda.
4. Can you think of any other questions we should ask them?

KEYWORD: Humor??

Good point.

[fightinJAG]

I can't resist the felicitous phrase penned by another freeper about Kerry: Why the long face, John?

[F16Fighter]

Lieberman also took issue with the Bush administration's post-war performance in Iraq after a "brilliant military victory."

"I am troubled by how remarkably unprepared the Bush administration seems to have been for the victory they were confident we would achieve in Iraq," said Lieberman, a staunch supporter of the war, after a lunch with Democratic members of the state Assembly.

Lieberman seems to be "troubled" by quite a bit. Daschle of course is "saddened" ALL the time...

I seem to recall Hitlery's using "fed up" more often than not. Anyone recall otherwise?

[return_fire]

WOW!!! I didn't know lieberman could be funny.

[joesnuffy]

thats like saying "I am the only mouse who can stomp an elephant"
You might be the only one who could ....if anymouse could....but you cant.....
In fact ...you ...will...get....stomped.....real bad.....

[ladyinred]

LIEberman has the NERVE to say this after his going along with the trashing of the military ballots?

[fightinJAG]

excellent analysis
