#1 Good luck guys. Be prepared for vilification from the left. Be prepared to be called bigots. Be prepared to be laughed at by the big media.

#2 "Its mission statement, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Sun, commits its 43 members to âresisting and defeating terrorist organizations, ending collusion between rogue regimes and terrorists, and supporting reform in regions that threaten to export terror.â

That's going to be one hefty list of rogue regimes and regions, but it's a very worthwhile endeavor. But what kind of leverage will they use to affect change...

#3 Is this the rebirth of the "Scoop Jackson" Democrats?

The more I see of Leiberman (when he gets away from the DNC handlers), the more I like the guy - he is principled, and sees the world very clearly for the most part. He's the only Democrat candidate that I woudl have considered voting for.

Which is why the Dems ran him out of the presidential contest.

Someone ought to invite Joe to switch parties before they run him out. Maybe a trade: Lieberman for Chafee (A RINO).

#4 Not sure I like the word "Committee" in a quasi-governmental name. Reminds me of C.Ree.P
