During the Sore-Looserman days I would never have imagined that Joe would worm his way into my respect. He is the last real liberal left in government: The rest are just rich, power hungry frauds.
Thank you Joe Liebermann!
From a purely political standpoint, Obama would do himself a world of good to stand up and completely break with his party on this issue. He almost put it together a while back when he made a statement about not cutting funding for the troops. If he did that he would suddenly flank Hillary IMO. I think only the very kooky fringe would be in favor of cutting funding, and the Dems are misplaying evne a show of such a thing.
It would be interesting how a GOP senator was running for President that had a chance (McCain aside) would handle this debate. I suppose if George Allen hadn’t blow up his candidacy/senate seat, this would have been his moment to get out in front.
Would have been nice for Santorum to still be around as well.
