Joe Lieberman Angling For VP On McCain’s Ticket?

The Whistler • March 31, 2008

I doubt it given earlier comments from Lieberman himself, but I do think Lieberman is likely talking for a lot of Democrats with these words:

Well, I say that the Democratic Party changed. The Democratic Party today was not the party it was in 2000. It’s not the Bill Clinton-Al Gore party, which was strong internationalists, strong on defense, pro-trade, pro-reform in our domestic government. It’s been effectively taken over by a small group on the left of the party that is protectionist, isolationist and basically will –and very, very hyperpartisan. So it pains me. I’m a Democrat who came to the party in the era of President John F. Kennedy. It’s a strange turn of the road when I find among the candidates running this year that the one, in my opinion, closest to the Kennedy legacy, the John F. Kennedy legacy, is John S. McCain.

They’d probably deny it in public, but I think a lot of Democrats aren’t thrilled about the idea of lining up behind someone as far left as Obama is this year. And I think a lot of them are tired of the party being run by folks like George Soros and Nancy Pelosi.
John Kennedy was no conservative, and neither was FDR. But at least Kennedy understood tax cuts, and Roosevelt understood that sometimes America had to go to war. Were either of those men alive today, I think its more likely that they’d be moderate Republicans instead of Demcorats.

It’s our party now. We bought it. We own it…

MoveOn.org executive Director Eli Pariser in an email in January 2005, talking about the takeover of the political party of JFK by the radical Left, a takeover financed by George Soros. Which explains why a substantial number of traditional, moderate Democrats find themselves ill at ease with their party.

I was thinking about that earlier today.

How is the house and senate going to shape up under Obama? Will the democratic party let itself be defined by socialist and fascist principles?

People don’t even really know what Obama is about and who is the New York Times going to blame when the people feel the burn in their wallets?

I just imagine sheltered “intellectuals” thinking everything is going well because they trust in Obama like he’s a family member.
Until they go from regular doctor to brain surgeon and realize that progressive tax rates have taken away their profit.

Since the republican party has no head to lead it I wonder if all it takes to America to get back to the right is just a good taste of democratic policies.
(If the MSM doesn’t still blame it on us completely and successfully)

woof,
The moans from the full pocketbook come from the understanding of what it takes to fill it, hard work and determination, not handouts to deadbeat liberals who think it should be filled from somebody else’s hard work and determination.

Joe Lieberman has demonstrated three things: First, he is revealed here as a statesman rather than a politician.

Second, he gives yet another reason why John McCain must be supported today and elected in November.

Third, he has done a better job than I could in explaining why I left the democratic party decades ago.

Franklin D. Roosevelt a Republican,
put down the pipe.

If I went to work in a factory the first thing I’d do is join a union.

Here is my principle: Taxes shall be levied according to ability to pay. That is the only American principle.

A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward.

It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach.

Like Bear Sterns and JP Morgan
moaning at the Federal Reserve.
