All of this assumes Lonesome Joe would accept the offer, which I doubt he would.
Lieberman has a good record on defense issues and support for Israel, but he is WAY too liberal to even be considered for AG.
Just say NO! Don't give the commie libs anything! Do you think they would give the conservatives any handouts if they had won? Anybody who associates with the pinko commie lib rats cannot be trusted and this includes McCain. Don't forget McCain was being courted by kerry for VP. Just say NO!
I think the idea of Lieberman being a "good" guy was planted on FR many moons ago. I suspect, but don't intend to try to prove it, that it was planted by some of our "visitors" from DU.
Have we forgotten that Lieberman was dubbed Ole Flip-Flop Joe by Freepers during Pres. Bush's first run for the presidency? Have we forgotten that Lieberman went with the prevailing winds of politics by changing his opinions to suit Gore's candidacy? Would we trust Lieberman to keep his word?
He'd be fine for DOD or DHS.
Lieberman was CT's AG early in his career, BTW.
Who only got his shot at the VP after a meeting with the democratic party powers in Camp David resulting in a 'changed' man that now saw the light over the Clinton impeachment.
Since when are rats ever grateful or cooperative when we reach across the isle?
It's a mistake to think that some bridge will be built. It will simply give rats more power in strategic places, and I'm against it.
Sam Nunn would be a good choice for either A.G. or Sec. of Homeland Security if Ridge steps down.
I like the idea. One of the few Democrats that I have a good deal of respect for. I'd trust him in this capacity although I doubt he would take it. But it is worth a try.
a.) NO, we CANNOT exclude the brain fart as Gore's running mate
b.) Screw the 'reaching across party lines' crap
We own NOTHING to Democrats
I have to say that I like Lieberman. We all make mistakes (I don't, mind you :)) and if the good Senator has seen the error of his ways by hitching himself to that idiot Algore, he should be considered for some position in the 2nd Bush term.....gee, I love saying that......THE 2ND BUSH TERM! *~*
YOu have stated the reason why Lieberman wouldn't accept the post. The last thing a conscientious Dem. woud do these days is resign from the Senate and give us another seat.
Besides, these guys are generally elected time after time to a great job with wonderful perks. Why take a four year job and then fade into obscurity.
This is a non-starter. For the same reason, you won't find Rep. Senators willing to give up their seats in a state that has a Dem governor.
