Reply #52: Sorry, but your analogy is belied by the facts

McCain has bucked his own party and opposed Bush on several high profile issues. Lieberman has backed the president on only one high profile issue -- the war in Iraq. And its worth reminding people around here that a solid majority of Democrats in the Senate voted for the McCain-Lieberman resolution authorizing the use of force in Iraq.

Seriously, if you were actually interested in facts, you'd be hard pressed to find a single party-line vote where Lieberman has crossed the aisle to support a major Bush initiative. Certainly not his tax cuts. Not judicial nominees. Not on the 9/11 commission. Even on the faith based initiave, Lieberman ended up breaking with the administration and backing a bipartisan proposal.
