Joe Lieberman is sounding more like George Bush every day



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Here's how Lieberman is justifying his support for President Bush back home:

But he acknowledged some Democrats are troubled by his support of the Iraq war. "I foresaw this" primary challenge, Lieberman said. "I did not take the positions I've taken because they're popular. I have got to do what I feel is right."
No, Senator, you don't take positions because they're popular, you take them, like George Bush, because you seem to have become shockingly incompetent.

What did you mean a few months ago when you wrote, in the Wall Street Journal of all places:
Does America have a good plan for doing this, a strategy for victory in Iraq? Yes we do.
Really? And what plan would that be? And by the way, what a coincidence that George Bush then quoted you in his speech defending his abysmal conduct in the Iraq war.

I notice that the good Senator had this to say as well:
I cannot say enough about the U.S. Army and Marines who are carrying most of the fight for us in Iraq. They are courageous, smart, effective, innovative, very honorable and very proud. After a Thanksgiving meal with a great group of Marines at Camp Fallujah in western Iraq, 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. His answer was insightful, instructive and inspirational: "I would guess that if the opposition and division at home go on a lot longer and get a lot deeper it might have some effect, but, Senator, my Marines are motivated by their devotion to each other and the cause, not by political debates."

Thank you, General. That is a powerful, needed message for the rest of America and its political leadership at this critical moment in our nation's history.
Political debates? This isn't about political debates? It's about people dying. It's about 2500 American dead. It's about $300 billion. It's about America's prestige and reputation hitting rock bottom. It's about putting America smack dab in the middle of another Vietnam. And finally, it's about utter incompetence and outright lies.

The only person talking "political" here, Senator Lieberman, is you. You have consistently attacked those who have concerns about the Iraq war, while defending George Bush and praising his great "success" in Iraq. Either you're a Republican sycophant or you're one of the dumbest men in America.

I have no idea which you are, but neither makes you qualified to be a Democrat, let alone a United States Senator.
