Funny stuff coming from the guy who left the Republican party to run as an Independent for President in 2000 and almost cost Bush the election.

[coconutt2000]

I doubt Neo-Cons love Joe Lieberman. He's just better than either Lamont or the Republican candidate.

Lieberman probably represents Connecticut best. Lieberman lost the Dem primary because his opponent had a lot of help from the far left groups in registering independents as Democrats so they could vote in the election. In November, when the rest of Connecticut votes - I'd be surprised if Lieberman doesn't win by a significant amount.

[coconutt2000]

And what exactly is a Neo-Con anyhow? Everyone seems to have a different definition.

[msnimje]

Somebody needs to take Pat's pen away from him.

[MindBender26]

Patrick J. Buchanan is a self-serving idiot.

[glorgau]

"Joe, why are you doing this?"

He's a career politician that loves power?

[muir_redwoods]

Pat's overheated again. Taking a few moonbat suggestion from the Weekly Standard and somehow making them the talking points for a core group in the Republican party is a stretch.

Lieberman might be an honorable man (unproven to me at least) but he is not an acceptable candidate for any office to this Republican.

[PGalt]

Great article by Pat. A broken-watch Republican talking about a broken-watch Democrat.

[Jameison]

Hey Pat, what about Lieberman do you have more?
The fact that he is a Jew or the fact that he strongly backs the war against your Islamofacist pals?

[Caipirabob]

It's the "geek" in me. I just love Star Wars and he looks just like "Yoda".

The guy's got an ACU rating of 17. KKK "Sheets" Byrd has a rating of 30 and McCainiac is rated at 81. Lieberman is no friend of mine. He gets it right on a single issue, the WOT and that is it.

Buh-bye, Joe...

[Jameison]

"That is a question Joe Lieberman will hear again and again from old friends, as he mounts his "independent" campaign for the Senate seat his own party voted on Tuesday to take away from him. "

Are these the same RATS "old friends" that not only strongly backed Jim Jeffords to break off from the Republican Party, but did everything in their power to get him to switch so the hated Tom Daschle could become the Senate Senate majority leader?

"And there is no compelling answer Joe can give."

The Kos/DU/moveon backed loony, Ned Lamont is compelling reason enough. It'd be a sin to let that stark raving, Cindy Sheehan clone sit in the US Senate. And at least Lieberman's answer is going to be much more compelling than that of Jeffords.
After all Jeffords switched party's AFTER he'd been elected on a Republican platform
Lieberman, if we wins, would have run and won as an independent.

[Jameison]

"Joe, why are you doing this?"


Funny.
I don't remember the lunatic Pat Buchanan asking Jim Jeffords that question when he switched.
And Jefferds switced AFTER he'd been voted in by Republicans.

[Darkwolf377]

his independent campaign is simply about Joe's unwillingness to accept the verdict of his party and give up his cherished Senate seat.

Well, he learned something from running with Gore--never give up, even if it hurts The Party or The Country.

Pat just enjoys an opportunity to bash a Jew in public.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

I PREDICT that by 2008 Lieberman will be running a major third party with a mix of issues that will attract many defense Democrats and otherwise RINO Republicans and Libertarians for the long term. Or he'll be dead.

[capitalist229]

Social issues must take a backseat to security.

We are fast approaching an inflection point with Iran and the 'Chamberlains' must not be allowed to prevail.

BUMP

[JCEccles]

Buchanan is this war's Charles Lindbergh, wasting no opportunity to persuade his fellow Americans to capitulate to the most unspeakable evil abjectly and early.

[xzins]

But as long as you support war in Lebanon, war in Iraq and a "war-fighting Republican Party," in the Weekly Standard's phrase, you get a pass on everything else. Beat the drum for permanent war for global democracy and against Islamo-fascism, and all other sins are forgiven you.

This is certainly an indictment of Kristol and the Weekly Standard, but not of conservatism. Anyone who would consider either McCain or Giuliani is no conservative and conceivably has never been one.

Liebermann should be opposed to what happened to him in Connecticut because it was funded by outside-Conn money, by neo-Dems of the MoveOn anti-Defense persuasion.

If Liebermann is going to be the last of the true Democrats to stand for defending his Nation, then so be it. That is an acceptable reason for running against the neo-Dems.

[goldstategop]

I don't like Joe Lieberman's liberal domestic views. On the war though and defending this country from Islamofascism, this neo-con isn't inclined to be too picky. If we're all dead, it won't matter if Social Security is still formally around.

(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)

[Alberta's Child]

Ping.

[rmlew]

Is this from the same Pat Buchanan, edito of The American Conservative, which has a symposium on the pointless ness of Conservative-Liberal dichotomies?
It is isolationist uber alles.
