Comments on: Joe Lieberman: McCain's Bipartisan Wingman

Politico: The Two Have Been Nearly Inseparable Since The One-Time Dem VP Nominee Endorsed McCain Last December

Lie ber man is partison and possibly bi but he''s hardly bipartison.

element51,

All candidates hit ruts in every long campaign. Some make fatal mistakes and others ride out the bumps and come back. The Wright matter won''t be fatal because those who won''t vote for him because of it weren''t going to vote for him anyways and even with all the turmoil among the dems coupled with McCain''s free ride
it''s still a toss up.

None of these candidates has been tested in the way they will before and after November but Obama has been tested the most and is still standing after everything they''ve thrown at him.

It hasn''t even started for McCain and he''s already sticking his foot in his mouth more than Jerry Ford and losing his temper like *** Nixon. Whether he has the stamina or the temperment for conducting a full scale marathon campaign is an open question.

The Repubs have been throwing out the same crapola at Obama since last fall and it''s getting old and tired.

If they think flag pins and preachers, or even tapes from Osama are going to pull their cookies out of the fire I say leave them to their delusions.

parrot123....Thanks man. I appreciate your apology. My wife tells me that I get to excited over this stuff and I guess she''s right. She usually is. She also tells me that I am to pessamistic and again she is probably right. It''s just that I feel there is so much more at stake here than there has ever been before. I have watched bush and his bunch lie, cheat, steal and manipulate the American people and to believe that a man like McCain, who sold out his integrity just to get the nomination, will do what is needed is just a fairy tale. Victory in 08!!!!!!

tawpdog1...I hope you are right. I get so frustrated when I read posts from democrats who are going to jump ship if they don''t get Hillary. Why would you do that? If a person hates Obama that much, fine, stay home and just don''t vote. But why would you want things to continue to get worse than they are now? I just don''t understand. I love this country and I love the lifestyle that we are blessed with and I see all that getting thrown under the bus. We need changes and I do not believe we will see them under another Bush like presidency.

I fear for our country and feel helpless to do anything. So don''''t assume that you know me or my politics from one post. You don''''t. There. Now I have left myself open to attack from every right wing nutcase out there. I guess I''''ll sit back and enjoy the assault. Hello mudrose.

I do need to apologise for that - but with the current state of affairs in this country - we can''t be given into fear .... it''s much better to believe and continue counting the days --- Repugs like Mudrose and Infidel are starting to feel the Repug BS and they''re much reluctant right now to come out all for McCain cuz alot of them do know better ..... Like an earlier poster pointed out, when Gas hits over $4 in the next few months, we''ll see how many more rabid Repugs remain. Cheers!

parrot123...Man, you really missed the mark here. I am going to reply to you because you are so wrong. Normally I try to keep my political views somewhat cloudy on these boards because I don''t like the attacks I get from the right wing. I am a democrat, I have never once voted for a republican. I am an Obama supporter. I think we have the best shot with him to regain some of our lost status throughout the world. It makes me sad that John McCain is going to walk in and take the election over an issue that to my mind has already been addressed. I fear for our country and feel helpless to do anything. So don''t assume that you know me or my politics from one post. You don''t. There. Now I have left myself open to attack from every right wing nutcase out there. I guess I''ll sit back and enjoy the assault. Hello mudrose.

Obama way ahead.

Latest Dela Katessin poll has Obama beating McCain head-to-head in the general by 64% to 33% and that margin is increasing over the same poll last month while McCain would beat Clinton 55% to 42% with 3% too stupid to decide which poll to believe.

element51,

don''t believe everything you read. right now, it''s waaaaay tooooo early to be calling the election. my guess is by the time gas hits $4 bucks this summer, the masses will be ready for anybody but a republican.

One other thing that I found interesting on the ABC board. At least two posters firmly believe and stated with total sincereity that Obama is indeed the ANTI CHRIST. How''s that for a streach? Now that''s going to be difficult for him to overcome.

It is amazing how the democrats have the uncanny ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. My retirement savings are taking a beating so I guess I''''ll check out one of those high paying Wal Mart jobs.

Who do you think you''re fooling ? - You were never voting for any Dem anyways so why insinuate such - besides your claims are very Bogus - on what specific ABC board ??? Besides you seem to be a very good (Living) proof of an excellent Repug rule. Cheers!

I read a abc board yesterday that had over 150 comments. It was about democratic voters switching to McCain as a result of the Obama/Pastor situation. I am totally convinced now that McCain will win the White House. I would estimate that out of all the posts on that board at least 90 percent said they will vote republican if Obama gets the nomination. It puzzles me that after what we have had for the past seven plus years and the state of things now people are willing to keep what we have for another four years at least. I have voted in every election since I was old enough to vote but in view of McCains sure victory I don''t see the point in wasting the gas to go to the poles this time. It is amazing how the democrats have the uncanny ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. My retirement savings are taking a beating so I guess I''ll check out one of those high paying Wal Mart jobs.

Senators Lieberman and McCain share a common interest in bombing Iran, I use to share that interest as well. But the U.S. nor Israel should bomb Iran, if it does happen a third party should do it.

Lieberman seems to be working McCain like a ventriloquist dummy, working his mouth from the back while he speaks his political statements for him. This will obviously get the New York and Florida vote.

mccain needs break lights mounted on the back of his pants because if he makes a quick stop, they will need the "jaws of life" to pry lieberman out of john''''s butt.

McCain is the only candidate whos favorable rating exceeds their unfavorable:

On Monday, McCain is viewed favorably by 55% of voters nationwide and unfavorably by 42%. Obama%u2019s reviews are 46% favorable and 52% unfavorable. For Clinton, those numbers are 42% favorable, 55% unfavorable.

McCain/Lieberman will never happen, but it shows that McCain unlike the remaining two contenders can cross party lines quite easily. McCain really is the true candidate of change. Lieberman I most certainly hope will fill some post in the McCain Administration. He''s an old world Democrat, true to the party line that was not that is. Today''s Democrats are socialists.
