How does he get it to come up straight on the sides?

Can Joe (I'll-say-anything-to-win) LIEberman be trusted?
Silly question.
LIEberman won his Senate seat by outright lying about his abortion position.
Getting elected on the backs of the innocent unborn is not something that would inspire confidence in a position requiring utmost integrity.
If Joey would go to the lengths he did to get the pro-life vote - lying smackdab in the face of pro-lifers, telling them what he knew they wanted to hear - he is surely capable of promising just about anything he thinks people want to hear.
Abortion separates the men from the boys. As a radical pro-abortion advocate who voted six times for partial birth abortions, Joey proved himself to be a pimple-faced adolescent who fools the folks into thinking he's at the library when he's out smoking weed with the rest of the nerds.
Appoint him to HomeLand Secretary?
I wouldn't trust him to walk my dog.
In Sept 2000, The Washington Times reported how Lieberman, a staunch pro-abortion candidate made a pro-life pledge to religious leaders.
EXCERPT: Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman is a staunch supporter of abortion rights now, and even voted (six times) against a ban on partial-birth abortion, but Catholic leaders in Connecticut remember another Joe Lieberman.
He called on the state's archbishop with a pro-life pledge 12 years ago, when he was first a candidate for the U.S. Senate.......(and) met with Archbishop John F. Whealon of Hartford to seek Catholic votes in the final stretch of his 1988 Democratic bid to oust 18-year Sen. Lowell P. Weicker Jr., a Republican who supported abortion rights.....
"Joe was very liberal, like Weicker, but we had a poll on abortion that showed which way the wind was blowing," says Daniel Cosgrove, then the Democratic town chairman in Branford, Mr. Lieberman's hometown.
The poll showed anti-abortion sentiment outweighed pro-choice views in urban areas throughout Connecticut. "In the Waterbury area, it was more than any, 12,000 [more] against," Mr. Cosgrove says.
"He expressed himself against abortion, all suicide, and euthanasia. His position on that definitely was well received by the archbishop and priests" religious leaders said.
In fact, Mr. Lieberman's pro-life assurances were so convincing that Archbishop Whealon arranged for the Democratic candidate to meet with Catholic priests throughout the state shortly before the November 1988 balloting. Mr. Lieberman's expressed pro-life views in those meetings, Father Berry said. "That probably was not insignificant" in the November 1988 election outcome, he said.
I LIKE Albaugh's hair. It makes him look thoroughly tough, which is a good thing.
The Dems would poison him before losing another Senate seat.
The Dems think he "sucks" because he's too conservative [in his liberal way] for those lefties. The fact that they think so poorly of him speaks well of him, IMO.
And wan't it disgusting how VP wannabe LIEb crawled on his hands and knees to Hollyweirdos for donations?
LIEb was the one giving out Silver Sewer awards (with Bill bennett) dissing Hollywarped on its salacious music, movies and TV output before his political ambitions got the best of him.
I`m not endorsing, just throwing out something for thought.
Good point. The Dims will be sitting on LIEb rather than letting him slip away and leave them less one vote.
Additionally, They'd be hard pressed to dig up any dirt on Miller. I'd wager he's clean as a whistle.
How does he get it to come up straight on the sides?
For sure........Zell's got everything on his side.......but youth.
GEN Tommy Franks should be the man.
I'd take that bet. If he was'nt clean, after speaking at the RNC, you know damn well we'd hear about it.
An interesting point CL, but, frankly anything Dims might "think" (and I use the term loosely) is completely irrelevant to me.
Yeah, a military man would be the best bet.
Butch wax, I bet. (I know of this product because I am older than dirt.)
What the hell is going on?? We have to go to the Democrats to fill a position? Give me a break. Can you picture a Democrat appointing a Republican to a high post?
The ideal candidate should:
- Have a military or law enforcement background and be seen as a tough guy
- Actually want the job / not be well past retirement age
- Be someone who can be confirmed without causing a ruckus and costing the president political capital
- Have a good reputation among the public
- Have skills in leading a large bureaucracy
It won't be Zell, it won't be Tancredo, and it definitely won't be that sheriff who makes inmates wear pink panties. Lieberman doesn't fit all of those categories either, but I could see Bush asking him simply because there aren't a lot of people left who do. But I think Lieberman who be intensely pressured by his party to stay in the Senate, and I'm not sure he'd take the job.
Tommy Franks is really the only one I can think of other than Kerik who meets those requirements. But whether or not he'd want the job is a mystery to me. He might want to make some real money in the private sector after all those military years.
Butch wax.
It's sure not something you can find at CVS, now, is it?
He musta laid in a lifetime supply years ago. LOL.
appoint then fire after senate seat changes hands.
Well he sure looked spry enough at the RNC. Wow! What passion and patriotism.
Clinton appointed Cohen.
