Joe Lieberman - all your sins remembered

[hfojvt]

Some people may not like the word 'sin' but I am doing an echo of the Joe Haldeman book "All My sins Remembered" which was a memorable title for me.

Obviously I will not have all of them in this OP. Feel free to add to this list.

Really bad article in the Wall Street Journal.

"I asked their commander whether the morale of his troops had been hurt by the growing public dissent in America over the war in Iraq."

Lieberman: Bush turned a corner on Iraq
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2005-12-17-lieberman-iraq_x.htm


Lieberman wants to work with Bush to "save" social security
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0307-01.htm
He also joins Bush in hyping the problem. This is a nice quote: 'For anyone questioning his party affiliation, Mr. Lieberman said, "I am proud to be a member of the Democratic Party and I intend to stay that way."' Until I am defeated in the primary, then I will run as an independent so that Republicans can elect me.

This article calls Lieberman a supporter of partial privatization of social security before the 2000 election, and calls him "a wholly-owned Senate subsidiary of drug and insurance companies, military contractors and the nuclear power industry - all of which contribute heavily to his campaign coffers? "

Krugman shows that Lieberman is no centrist
http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0811-23.htm

"There’s an overwhelming consensus among national security experts that the war in Iraq has undermined, not strengthened, the fight against terrorism. Yet yesterday Mr. Lieberman, sounding just like Dick Cheney — and acting as a propaganda tool for Republicans trying to Swift-boat the party of which he still claims to be a member — suggested that the changes in Iraq policy that Mr. Lamont wants would be “taken as a tremendous victory by the same people who wanted to blow up these planes in this plot hatched in England.”"

1. Ann Coulter! Ann Coulter! Ann Coulter!

Delay, Coulter, Kristol defend Lieberman
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/thebeat?pid=108193

'Even though it comes from Coulter, that's not entirely crazy talk. In February of this year, Connecticut Republican Congressman Chris Shays told editors of the Stamford Advocate newspaper that he would be voting for Lieberman this year and urged other Republicans to do the same. The Hartford Courant reported on February 28 that "GOP officials have discussed cross-endorsing Democratic Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman this fall." '

2. the war is a central issue, not a single issue

http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0801-29.htm

"Through all this, Lieberman has been, as the New York Times termed it, the president's "enabler." He lobbied early and hard for the pre-emptive war of choice. He echoed the lies and dismissed the folly of the president's men while questioning the patriotism of those who raised sensible questions about our course."

3. Limbaugh endorses Joe Lieberman

http://www.myleftnutmeg.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=2162

Calls Lieberman the 'voice of sanity' in his party. So that lunatic of the right wing fringe thinks we are lunatics of the left wing fringe, and an enabler for the right wing is a 'voice of sanity'.

4. GOP deserts one of its own for Lieberman

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/081906Z.shtml

"It would be far better for Republicans if Joe Lieberman won than Lamont," Mr. Fleischer continued. "There are enough liberals for Republicans to point to - from Russ Feingold to Hillary Clinton to Nancy Pelosi - that we don't need another one to make our case. But what kind of message would it send if a strong defense, pro-Iraq senator won in this environment? It would prove you can be for what George W. Bush is doing in Iraq and still win, even in the Northeast."


Just want Connecticut Democrats and left-leaning independents to realize that a vote for Lieberman is a vote for Bush.

"SENATOR DID NOTHING TO BLOCK ANTI-WORKER NOMINEES; INSTEAD, TRIED TO GIVE BUSH MORE POWER: Lieberman did not raise any objections to President Bush’s efforts to pack the National Labor Relations Board – instead, in 2001, he issued a press release applauding GOP legislation ..."
