You’re not sorry, you didn’t offend my sensibilities, and I agree that Lieberman subjugated a lot of his own positions to be Gore’s VP, but then so did Cheney and Bush the first. Some of our best Republicans were democrats, once. I try not to hold people’s past mistakes against them when they come to do the right thing. Do you?
First off, what I posted to start this back and forth was...SATIRE. It wasn’t an editorial.
Secondly, Lieberman is doing what he is doing to agitate his party but he still attends the liberals caucuses and believes in liberal ideals and philosophy.
Are we so insecure in our party that it seems like a major coup when some liberal wanders over to our side once in awhile but doesn’t show real guts by picking ONE party over another? He doesn’t care enough for the Republican party to give up the power he still holds with liberal committees. It’s all about power to him, he has power within HIS party and he seeks more within the Republican Party.
You can welcome him to our party with open arms if you want but just remember, you’re only getting 5% of his loyalty.
I have as much respect for him as I do with Lindsay Graham of my own state and, believe me, that is none.
