Dispute it if you like,but tell me would you trust this man,do you believe he acted honorably during this campaign? What is dishonorable about supporting the man one knows is best suited to be President? Or are we now reduced to being "right-thinking citizens" from whom dissent is no longer tolerated? Lieberman did nothing dishonorable. Quite the contrary. Lieberman, unlike any others on the Democratic side of things, put the welfare of the country above his own immediate interests. Granted, such ideals are considered unpatriotic in the noveaux regime this country has foolishly voted for itself, but Lieberman more so than even McCain is the politician who knows how to transcend party and be an American Senator and politician. Dishonorable? Hardly. Treachery? Not even close. Only sin he committed was choosing not to be a part of Dear Leader's cult of personality. Ultimate irony in all of this: Hillary Clinton said this country could not afford another four years of the last eight years; the country seems to have disagreed with her. The above post is nothing more than your opinion....an opinion repudaited by the electorate.But one in which you stubbornly cling to ,despite all evidence to the contrary. How you can still put forth ths bullshit about 'best suited to the job",after McCain made a totally pandering and dangerous decision in placing the not ready for primetime Palin on the ticket is beyond me. Of course your quite childish insistance on referring to the future President as our "dear Leader" does speak volumes....and is a starker comment on the rest of your post than the mods would ever allow me to make Wow... I have to admit that this one made Me raise My eyebrows. An opinion is an opinion. As such it is neither right or wrong. It is, simply, an opinion. If you choose to interpret CL's assessment of this as "his opinion" then don't say that his opinion was proven wrong by the electorate. I have more respect for Joe Lieberman for standing up for what he felt was the right decision than if he had sat quietly on the sidelines and pretended to support his party's choice of candidate. I am, also wondering why, just because a majority voted for the PE, that makes him the best man for the job. Again, all those votes are only opinions. Just because more people have a certain opinion doesn't make anything right or wrong. There have been many times in history when the majority opinion has proven to be the incorrect decision. Time will tell and even then we can never know what may have been different under a McCain presidency. Point taken GoddessDustyGold,but read CL's post agan he claimed Lieberman "knew" McCain was the best man for the job.My point is Lieberman thought McCain was the best man for the job.Further point ,my claim that the electorate repudiated that opinion,is inarguable given the results Most of the rest of it is simply CL and I tweaking each other noses,sorry if that caused you to raise your eyebrows...I hope no permanent damage was done... As far as Lieberman is concerned I will repeat my opinion...Lieberman would have acted in a far more honorable way if he had restricted his support to positive statements concerning McCain,rather than straying into derogertory statements regarding Obama...a man who had in the last mid-term election supported and stumped for him....and that is my opinion,stated clearly as such,no ambiguity between opinion and fact.
