Can we kick him OUT of the democratic party?! Or, at least all promise to do everything we can to see him defeated the next time he runs for anything?!

October 16, 2004 -- * Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman has raised eyebrows by telling Florida voters that President Bush has a strong pro-Israel record and John Kerry needs to do more to eliminate "doubts" about his support for Israel.
"We are dealing with a president who's had a record of strong, consistent support for Israel. You can't say otherwise. And I think John Kerry, to reassure people, has to himself be explicit" about Israel rather than rely on surrogates, the Connecticut senator said in surprising remarks near Delray Beach.
Lieberman, an Orthodox Jew who was the 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee, said he's urged that Kerry speak out more on Israel because "only John Kerry can eliminate those doubts," the Palm Beach Post reported.
Lieberman's remarks came Thursday amid a Bush push to cut into the traditionally Democratic Jewish vote, where Al Gore beat Bush in 2000 by 79 to 19 percent.
Analysts say polls suggest Bush will get somewhere between 25 and 35 percent of the Jewish vote on Nov. 2 -- which could be pivotal in Florida and New Jersey. States like New York, Connecticut and California are all but certain to go for Kerry.
