Lieberman is going to be McCain’s Vice-President?

Seeing Lieberman with McCain is not much different than seeing him with his other buddies like Teddy or Feingold. Lieberman is a lib through and through (on abortion, judges, taxes, big government...). Apparently, some are giving him a pass because he is pro-war in Iraq. That’s not good enough for me.

Interesting isn’t it that in campaign 2000 lord Lieberman was on a presidential ticket that attempted to prevent MILITARY votes from being counted.

“I wish I understood it,” laments Steve Rabinowitz, a Democratic strategist who stuck by Lieberman in 2006 even after his primary loss to Ned Lamont. “I just don’t know what to make of him anymore. I’m very sad.”

Poor Steve.

Thompson would be a far better choice
Dramatically fill in Right of Center support
Is an outstanding speaker
And a great wingman

As McCain hopes to wage a campaign that appeals to an independent-minded electorate exasperated by the Bush administration and the political status quo,

That would be 3 cats and a poodle.

Lieberman, a former Democratic vice presidential nominee, has become something of a symbolic character witness meant to testify to the Arizonan’s bipartisan approach.

Well, lets see. He isn't a dem anymore - they tossed him out.
He is certainly not a republican - he is a stone cold liberal.

What bipartisanship?
McCain had better hope there are no Clintons on the democrat ticket, because the mighty O is McCain's only chance to have a shot in November.

If John McCain thinks he’s going to gin up support among conservatives by cozying up to a pro-choice, pro-affirmative action, anti-second amendment former Dem, then he really is senile.

Sure, I like Lieberman ok, for a Dem (I know, he’s an independent). Pro-America, pro-victory, all that. But don’t forget the rest of the package.

A President McCain with a Democrat Congress will mean the end of the Republican Party.

A Democrat President with a Democrat Congress facilitates a ray of hope for Conservatives.

IMHO, of course.

Better Lieberman than Kennedy, but geeeez! It’s a little unnerving. Okay, a LOT.

To add to the nausea for conservatives, McCain will probably make Joe his VP candidate.

Geesh, the BS never ends. One thing is for sure, the GOP as we have known it, has merged with the Dems.

Yikes, we need a new party.

Strategically it could be brilliant. With the Dems in charge of Congress, the GOP hierarchy is probably looking at this election as a “must-win” if we don’t want everything we’ve accomplished in the past eight years undone. If McCain thinks the election will be too close for comfort, he may have to pick Joe to lock up the center. The irony is that such a choice would actually free McCain up to run a little more to the right since he would have Joe holding down the center. Totally castrates the Commies, IMHO (and if you can guess what movie that line came from, you get a cookie).

John McCain must be elected President as the Democrat alternative is national suicide. Exiled Democrat Joe Lieberman can help make that happen. Senator Lieberman disagrees with Republicans on some issues without being disagreeable and agrees with Republicans on the all-important war against terror. Accept the support graciously.
