  •  Hmm (none / 0)

    If Lieberman was to be a credible VP candidate, I think he'd at least have to show interest by mounting a presidential campaign.

    Of course, he'd be destroyed in the primaries. Hopefully that'd be a warning against anyone asking him.

    It's also possible that his big, wrinkly potato head is too big for a VP position now.

    •  This quote. (4.00 / 7)

      "On the question that we're celebrating today, Howard Dean throughout this campaign has said he wasn't sure that Saddam really represented a threat to us. At one point he said, 'I suppose the Iraqis are better off with Saddam Hussein gone.' I would say this, and this is a choice the voters have to make in the primaries. If Howard Dean had his way, Saddam Hussein would be in power today, not in prison."

      This quote says everything to me.

      That mindset is Republican through and through. He lacks that sense of honest self-criticism that defines the majority of Democrats in opposition to Republicans.

      He's an SOB who doesn't belong in the party, and if it's 'radical' to say so, then call me a radical.

      •  Far from it, (none / 0)

        you're being accurate, not radical.  It sounds exactly like what a Republican would say.

        There were a bunch of protesters before the war outside the subway entrance near my apartment in Montreal.  They were Muslims holding up pictures of Iraqi children with the caption "Senator Lieberman's face of terror".  That got to me.  I mean, even if they are motivated by anti-Semitism, why isn't it "Paul Wolfowitz's face of terror"?  Goddamn Joementum is tarnishing all Americans with and unnecessary and bungled war, not just Republicans.  

        A ignominious primary defeat would be a fitting end to this joker's political career.

    •  I meant Lieberman as VP (none / 0)

      He has no chance at the presidency.

      He's a whacko, but a powerful whacko. Anyone trying to go up against him in his district will be destroyed, and so on.

      Do not misunderestimate him.

      I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.
