Lieberman: Bush Fears Only Me

With Wesley Clark saying increasingly bizarre things, such as abortion being fine and dandy with him right up to the moment of birth, Sen. Joe Lieberman is the least extreme of the White House wannabes, and thus he has little shot at bagging the Democrat nomination. But ...

"Some pundits are counting me out, but George Bush isn't. In a conversation he had in Australia, Bush told the prime minister there that he feared only one candidate — and that candidate is me," Lieberman, who isn't even attempting to compete in Iowa tonight, said today in Hanover, N.H.

The Australian newspaper reported that Bush told Prime Minister John Howard in a private meeting in October that he believed Lieberman would be his most formidable opponent.

Lieberman said Bush wouldn't be able to call him a tax-and-spend liberal or weak on defense.

"And just let them try to drive a wedge on values. They're stuck there, too. I am never afraid to talk about right and wrong, to help parents raise decent kids and even to talk about faith," he said.

"My friends, the Bush White House cannot divide and conquer — not this time."

But the left-wing Democrat establishment can divide and conquer and send him back to the Senate.

Lieberman: Bush Fears Only Me

Well, yeah. I mean with that deep thundering voice, that chin chiseled out of granite, those muscular bronze god shoulders.....who wouldn't fear ya?

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Wieberman tinks dat Brer Wabbitt is fraid of him?

[Dog Gone]

After Cheney served Lieberman's butt back to him on a platter with mint sauce in the 2000 debate, I'm actually surprised that he had any aspirations.

[Cultural Jihad]

President Bush only fears God.

[evad]

..there that he feared only one candidate — and that candidate is me,"

Proof positive...Palpatine has gone delusional.

Probably a delayed reaction from the SoreLoserman campaign.

[Jorge]

I can't imagine anyone fearing Lieberman.

Bush is playing head games with the media.

[Democratshavenobrains]

After being told by Bush that his arrogance is his weakeness, Lieberman/Palpatine said that "your faith in your friends is yours".

[OldFriend]

Dream on Joey!

[Cobra64]

Who would Lieberman choose, Barney Frank?

Knowing the Dims; I'd bet on Barney Fife, with 6 year old Opie Taylor as his campaign aide.

[Texagirl4W]

Amen -- I wish I would have thought of this.

[mlbford2]

President Bush only fears God.

And the Hispanic Caucuses

Joe...you are probably a fairly decent fellow, but "fear" that is just not a word that I associate with the Lieberman name.

[conservativecajun]

Actually, I would fear Joe in a run-off against G.W. #1. He is the only one of those 8 with any real common sense and committment to the War on Terror, so he could garner some votes from those who would choose Bush over someone like Dean. #2. The Liberal Dems. hate Bush so much that they want him out, no matter what. So, they would just close their eyes and vote for Lieberman rather than waste their vote on a Green.

I think Lieberman does pose the bigger threat to G.W. out of the 8 Dem. candidates, which is why I'm happy that he's probably not going to win the nomination.

[Bella]

Lieberman should do everyone a favor and leave now. OK, guys, who's the one that's going to run against our president? Who should we keep our eyes on? Kerry..

[meyer]

"Fears" is very much the wrong word. Yet Lieberman is the best that they have to offer. I doubt that the President fears Joe Lieberman.
