1. A desperate stab to regain some shred of his constituancy.
I don't think anyone will be overly impressed, considering everything.

2. I'll give him this one, if he fights for it.
He will need to. If he does, I will give him props.

5. unquestionably
He has a several decade record of being on the correct side of gay issues. Lieberman is on my last nerve as well but he will do this right.

7. No. We can't trust him. He campaigned for Palin and McCain and shook his head
in agreement and smiled when Palin's fans screamed that Obama was a terrorist. He spoke at the republican convention. Trust him? No way.

9. Trust him? Joe Lieberman? Please read this:
The Little Boy and The Rattlesnake
The little boy was walking down a path and he came across a rattlesnake. The rattlesnake was getting old. He asked, "Please little boy, can you take me to the top of the mountain? I hope to see the sunset one last time before I die." The little boy answered "No Mr. Rattlesnake. If I pick you up, you'll bite me and I'll die." The rattlesnake said, "No, I promise. I won't bite you. Just please take me up to the mountain." The little boy thought about it and finally picked up that rattlesnake and took it close to his chest and carried it up to the top of the mountain.
They sat there and watched the sunset together. It was so beautiful. Then after sunset the rattlesnake turned to the little boy and asked, "Can I go home now? I am tired, and I am old." The little boy picked up the rattlesnake and again took it to his chest and held it tightly and safely. He came all the way down the mountain holding the snake carefully and took it to his home to give him some food and a place to sleep. The next day the rattlesnake turned to the boy and asked, "Please little boy, will you take me back to my home now? It is time for me to leave this world, and I would like to be at my home now." The little boy felt he had been safe all this time and the snake had kept his word, so he would take it home as asked.

He carefully picked up the snake, took it close to his chest, and carried him back to the woods, to his home to die. Just before he laid the rattlesnake down, the rattlesnake turned and bit him in the chest. The little boy cried out and threw the snake upon the ground. "Mr. Snake, why did you do that? Now I will surely die!" The rattlesnake looked up at him and grinned, "You knew what I was when you picked me up."

10. Yeah, he is just piggybacking on a liberal issue
To try and make us forget he is a republican in sheep's clothing.

Perhaps he should switch parties if he is looking for people dumb enough to fall for it.
