#1 Sen. Lieberman is one of about a handful of members of Congress (both Senate and House) that I have any respect for. I don't agree with a lot of his domestic policy positions, but he's been absolutely rock solid on the single most important issue. Outside of that handful, I don't think they're worth a bucket of warm spit (I'm feeling diplomatic today).

#2 Unfortunately, based on todays Senate vote, there aren't enough Dem's like Joe in the Senate.

#3 And even fewer in the House.

#4 "The challenge before us, then, is whether we respond to al-Qaeda's barbarism by running away, as it hopes we do -- abandoning the future of Iraq, the Middle East and ultimately our own security to the very people responsible for last week's atrocities -- or whether we stand and fight. To me, there is only one choice that protects America's security -- and that is to stand, and fight, and win."

And I think the challenge before Joe is, how much longer are you going to remain loyal to the party that not only kicked you in the balls in last year's Connecticut primary, but is now determined to force an American loss in Iraq, no matter what the consequences are for Iraq or America?

I'll start taking Joe a lot more seriously when he starts telling Harry Reid to take his pacifist, defeatist, anti-American, pro-Islamist party and shove it up his corrupt, treasonous ass.

Better yet, he can do what I did: switch parties. PERMANENTLY.

#5 "OVER HERE" vz "OVER THERE". FOX NEWS > Putin's "State of Russia" speech > announced a "freezing" of Russia's role = commitment as per the CONVENTIONAL FORCES IN EUROPE Treaty. CONDI RICE > Its ludicrous to believe that 10 Interceptor missles will threaten Russia's overall strategic deterrence, and everybody knows it. *WOT > WAR FOR ANTI-US OWG-GLOBAL SOCIALISM, so don't underestimate the anti-US agendist penchant for empowering "OVER HERE" in USA in order to "justify" the former.

#6 I'll make a bet that it won't happen, Dave.

Joe may be a patriot, but on every other issue, he votes along with the ultraliberals.

[Firefox considers "ultraliberal" a non-word, while it has no problems with "ultraconservative." More Gay Bay bigotry.)
