Lieberman Calls Liberal Democratic Base ‘Paranoid’

TrueBlueAmerican · 11-09-2007, 09:47 AM

In remarks yesterday, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman criticized the Democratic presidential candidates for their adherence to the views of the “politically paranoid, hyper-partisan” liberal base of the Democratic party, saying that allegiance could harm the eventual nominee’s chances of gaining entry to the White House.

The Financial Times termed the speech, given at a Center for Politics and Foreign Relations/Financial Times breakfast at The Johns Hopkins University Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, the most critical he’s given in the year since he lost the Democratic primary in Connecticut and then successfully won re-election as an independent.

In the speech, Senator Lieberman referred to his primary loss, and denounced the anti-war base of the Democratic party that worked hard to defeat him last year. Despite the fact that he overcame that opposition and won re-election, leading Democrats and many of the presidential candidates, consider the 2006 election results — which gave Democrats majorities in the House and Senate — a mandate against the Iraq war.

My Take

Go back to fucking Israel. Nobody wants you here. And take your pro Iran-war mongering demagoguery with you. And if possible, take all of the non American Jewish Neocons with you as well. Hell, take all of the neocons!

When it comes to Iraq, Lieberman may not be as far apart from Hillary Rodham Clinton. Both Clinton's supported the resolution authorizing the war. Neither has renounced that position, despite the absence of weapons of mass destruction.

No one has told him yet: no one gives a damn what Joementum thinks.

I don't think it's still out of the realm of possibility, Hillary could (and appears on her way to) pull a Dean on us. If Edwards were pro gay marriage he would have my vote all the way, however he's the only one who of the top dem nominees to show for the Mukasey vote and that speaks volumes to me, at least today.

Its unbelievable that most of the Democratic nominees don't have the balls to stand up to torture! Do you even need balls to stand up to torture? Has America really gone so far to the right that standing up to a pro torture attorney general is divisive?
