Uh, are politicians allowed to do that?
Dodd has a better rating that LIEberman!
Exactly.
IMO, "Career Politician" should be an oxymoron.
Term limits, baby. The founding fathers could never have envisioned the likes of Teddy Kennedy, who never worked a real job in his life, but only continues to be "Senator for life"....
doesn't count. they weren't "stockpiles"
He's still a gun-grabber.
"Clinton/Lieberman 2008!"
A couple real "neo-hawks" there.
I don't think America could take Joe's voice as president. Come to think of it, they couldn't take Hillary's, either.
Because the media said there would be huge vats of deadly liquids being stirred by Saddam, in a huge factory, and our 150,000, military were going to sneak up behind him!
Just like in the movies, you know, 007!
He's the last of the Scoop Jackson Democrats. Back to a time when you could disagree with Democrats, but you wouldn't have to question their loyalty to this country.
Perhaps we should change the WMD term to Kerry's massive "weapons of individual destruction." `
Ditto's, he is not a conservative. More of a Kennedy democrat "lite".
Looks like another FreeRepublic - Lieberman lovefest here.
Guys/gals - Lieberman is way left of McCain, he will never be a Republican.
He deserves kudos for his outspoken support of the truth about Iraq. Coming from a lock-step Democratic party, his stand is both brave and significant.
However, he is NOT republican material.
BTW - has anyone in the MSM called Lieberman a "Maverick" yet?
Oh boy....this is gonna really pi$$ off the rats....!!
Heh, heh, heh....
I'll have to show this to my twenty-something son, who was questioning the decision to go to Iraq based on the 'new facts reported' that there were no WMDs at the time we went to war.
THE FINAL
INSPECTION
The Marine stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Marine,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the Marine waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Marine,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

It's the Soldier, not the reporter
who has given us the freedom of the press.
It's the Soldier, not the poet,
who has given us the freedom of speech.
It's the Soldier, not the politicians
that ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
It's the Soldier who salutes the flag,
who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag.
If you care to offer the smallest token of recognition and appreciation for the Military,
please pass this on and pray for our men and women
who have served and are currently serving our country
and pray for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.
