Thanks for posting.

I must give him points for being blunt and emphatic on this important question.

Lieberman is rolling his punches. Just about when he's about to land a haymaker, he softens it and dilutes his message. He's in the midst of a devastating and withering attack on the credibility of his challengers on the matter of national security. Joe said it best of his opponents' ambivalence of Iraq "If the trumpet sound is uncertain, who will prepare himself for battle." In other words, Kerry's waffling on Iraq is less than inspiring for a wannabe Commander-in-Chief. But then Lieberman throws in a few question marks regarding Iraq and America's handling of it. He obscures his strength on the Iraq matter and ends up giving off the same "uncertain" sound he criticizes his leftist challengers for.

Senator Lieberman is a good man and a statesman. He cares more for his country than for politics. We can all be thankful that true leaders and the American people will stand against insane ideas when it comes to serious threats to our national security. Are you not sickened by those who care so little about their own? Do you not wonder whether they have read history? Nations rise and nations fall and when they fall it is usually due to a male population which is not willing to protect their own. And, I think it was Machavelli who said that nations fall when the male population becomes feminized..The Roman Empire tells it all..President Bush is a man who will use every means available to protect this country and that is why his detractors hate him. I have to think when I consider all that happened in the election of 2000 that "somebody greater than you and I" is in charge of this situation. This thought has comforted me many times over the past couple of years.

Joe LIEberman is an utter disgrace,has been dunned out of the Jewish Orthodox faith by its head Rabbis, is NEITHER a " good man ", nor a " statesman ".

I wonder about your Conservativeness, your reading comprehension, and your knowledge of anything political.

Joe chastized Clinton...to a point, and refused to help with his removal. As V.P. candidate, he flip flopped so mucch,that he made himself dizzy. He used his religion as a prop and denied many of its tenenets; so much so, that he was condemned for it by the very leaders of his own faith! He has totally ignored his constituents, for YEARS now, by absenting himself to first run for V.P. AND his fall back...Senator, and now he's spending much of his time as a candidate for president.LIEberman cares MORE for power and position, than he does for ethics and his country.

Are YOU not " sickened " by such a man ? Evidently not. You should be!

[metesky]

Bump.

Did the headline writer really write "Who's" instead of "Whose"?

Did the headline writer really write "Who's" instead of "Whose"?

I had to go look. Yep, they did. LOLOLOL...

[hellinahandcart]

Here it is in the text:

And so, we return to Sen. Lieberman's implicit question: Who's side are you on?

But wait! The author goofed up and used the correct word at the end:

Would it be unfair for a fearless Washington press corps to ask those men, "Whose side are you on?"

Who's pocket are you in Joe? http://www.votefordobson.com/content/dobson/18/crimesenate.htm

Senator Lieberman is a good man and a statesman. He cares more for his country than for politics.

So then how do you explain the fact that Lieberman was complicit in throwing out military votes in November/December of 2000?

[Constitution Day]

Good grief!

[WestPacSailor]

"Who's side are you on?" Was this edited by the NY Times staff?

[Tijeras_Slim]

Whose on first?

[hellinahandcart]

I know. If I had done that in my high-school English class, my teacher would have never let me hear the end of it.

"Once again, hellinahandcart, 'w-h-o-apostrophe-s' means...?"

"'Who is', Mrs. Schick...Jeez, I'm in college in another state now; when are you going to stop hounding me?"

As Ann Coulter once observed: "Joe Lieberman is always wrestling with his conscience, but it would be good if his conscience won once in a while."

Sen. Joe Lieberman has set in motion an important line of discussion concerning post-Iraq War policy and politics. While he made a partisan — but not entirely unfair — critique of President Bush's management of prewar preparations and postwar execution of policy, the crux of his speech was a fierce criticism of those Democrats who displayed a "disquietingzeal" questioning the necessity of the war: "[B]y their words, some in my party are sending out a message that they don't know a just war when they see it, and more broadly, they're not prepared to use our military strength to protect our security and the cause of freedom."


Given the quality of todays leadership in the democrat party I'd be suprised if he isn't drummed out of the party.
He may just be their salvation, if they have the good sense to listen..which I doubt.

[nopardons]

How right Ann is about that and many other topics as well. :-)
