Lieberman’s forecast for ‘09

lieberman1.jpg“Our enemies will test the new president early. Remember that the truck bombing of the World Trade Center happened in the first year of the Clinton administration. Sept. 11 happened in the first year of the Bush administration.” — Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., sowing fear, along with support for the “tested” John McCain, on CBS’ “Face the Nation“

    Lie-berman should just change his affiliation to “REPUBLICON”.

    He might as well just count down his time left in office as well.

    The Democrats are expected to pick up five Senate seats in the Fall. When they do, they should kick that lying son of a bitch Lieberman to the curb – out of the Party – no committee seats – no caucuses – no nothing – out of the Party.

    Ahhh, the inaugural “terrorist attack”. so we can all fall in line and love our new leader. The most ardent neo-con will have an Obama portrait on his wall after the attack. I can picture it now, Obama on top of a debris pile acting like a tough-guy hero. typical. but people again and again will fall for this. go wave your Chinese-child-slave-labor made American flag and feel good about yourselves.

    Pleefer – and don’t forget to put a magnet on your SUV while sending your oil money to the House of bin Ladin.

    McCane is a tried and true Bush League player. When the terror attack comes, he has implied will do as his mentor did; he will determine where the attack came from and then attack a completely irrelevant country. Like Bush, he’ll keep doing the same old thing over and over, hoping for different results.
    Further, he has worse zipper problems than old Bill! We’d be getting the worst of both worlds in McCane.

    I can’t imagine that at his age, he has much of a “zipper problem” unless that’s where his Pablum lands when he spills it.

    Lieberman is proof that the country is not as liberal as the liberals on this Blog.

    Lieberman kicked liberal ass, and the liberals can’t stand it.

    Actually Paul, other than the war Lieberman is very liberal. THAT (and seniority) is why he won.

    In many ways Lieberman reminds me of another ‘old warhorse liberal’ – Hubert Humphrey.

    Lieberman is scum.

    Make sure you see the HBO film “Recount”.

    Lieberman was torpedoing his own running mate Al Gore during the attempt to get a fair recount. He is also a regular guest on right wing pig Sean Hannity’s show. Through and through a sellout.

    Primary the sonbitch. Failing that, kick him to the back row in the Senate.

    “Primary the sonbitch. Failing that, kick him to the back row in the Senate.”

    Tried the first: Failed. The second has been done, I would say.

    “Recount” is a moon-bat nut case far left propaganda falsehood.
    Only a nut would believe anything on that crazy “drama drama” (There is no “docu” in it!)

    All of the newspapers, in the country, say that Gore lost.

    No credible source thinks that Gore won the election, as far as the Electoral College is concerned.

    In fact, if not for the far too premature, and FALSE calling of the Florida results, the panhandle of Florida would have given George W. Bush a much higher number, in the “popular vote” figures, in Florda, and nationwide.

    Those who can not accept these facts are bitter, twisted, juvenile cry babies, unworthy of any notice by thinking people.

    I guess you and yours can’t stick a fight paulie?

    The Florida pan handle. WHAT a joke.

    Here in Kansas, I stood in line for more than three hours WITH a seven year old son in tow to vote for Al Gore.

    When I KNEW it would make no difference at all.

    No how bush “won” is his goon squad folks like you wanted it more.

    GOONS just like you Paul F Rosell were flown in to shut down the recount.

    I’ll give you and yours this. You’ve got the better goons.

    At least then.

    Gore wanted to keep it cordial even as he fought.

    bush did not care. He was prepared to FORCE himself on those who hated him.

    How is that working out for ya Paulie?

    I’m STILL glad I turned the hose on you Paulie.

    Oh and you and your goons were lucky our side was not able to sink as low as you.

    There are people to this day that voted for bush that I no longer associate with. One of them is my own aunt who shook bush’s hand after the Peirce City tornado.

    She is dead to me.

    The day the SC gave it to bush paulie, I could have killed someone like you without a second thought.

    Nan,
    “I can’t imagine that at his age, he has much of a “zipper problem” unless that’s where his Pablum lands when he spills it.”

    He certainly has quite a history of fairly frequent zipper problems. And while men of his age may have once have had difficulties, a simple prescription fixes that now. In McCain’s case, I’m sure his little blue pills (and a touch of rigor mortis?) will allow him to continue his lifelong pursuit of anything young and female clear into the nursing home.

    I think the Florida recount thing is pretty cut and dry. It was close enough to require a machine recount. They did it and Gore still lost, but it was closer, so the Gore people wanted dimples counted, which would require a hand recount.

    Nah, I watched recount. What I took away from it was that Gore wanted to stop, and his people kept pushing it, and him into fighting. He should have stopped after the 2nd count. Gore cost himself his entire political future, he would have beat GW in 04, or at the very least been the frontrunner now.

    I don’t know if Gore would have been any better than Bush, but he sure couldn’t have been any worse!

    Actually, Gore’s political stock is probably quite strong (stronger than he himself realized before the primary season started). Gore probably would have been the nominee if he had run. The contrast over the past eight years of what we had and what we could have had is too strong to see for all except for people like Franklin, who construct their own reality.

    And yes, to those wondering, old poster, new name.

    And by the way, it wasn’t just the recount, it was the loss of votes that should have been counted.
