do Democrats think of that?

He was talking about the partisan politics that put their agenda ahead of the country. This is wrong. I support our troops and wish them victory. I do not care who is the president or which political party is in power. The issue is once in that victory is the objective. There is no substitute for victory.

Joe, on FOX, calling some Americans unpatriotic? Well, just imagine that. He's done, never to be elected to public office again, he might as well say what he wants and I'm not a registered democrat. I think too much time spent in congress has a negative effect on some people, Joe being one.

Lieberman is a good person of Jewish religious persuasion. He will do & say anything to protect Israel. I find that very admirable, if he would be in israel, but he isn't. I feel he would sacrifice all of Americans blood to protect Israel. He has adopted the talking points of the neo-cons. He has supported every move by bush or McCain, no consideration of the cost, in lives, in disabled Americans, or taxpapers money. If this country becomes a different place than we know today, Lieberman will take his millions & move to Israel. There he will proclaim he is glad to be home & be welcomed as a hero for Israel._________ There are only two things that would sway a politician from their previous political beliefs .....money or religion!

What he really meant was
" Any Americans who has issues with the Israel war in Iraq should be sent to Guitmo for disobeying the Jewish Lords "
By Joel Leyden
Israel News Agency
"...Jerusalem----April 2.....The American Jewish Congress today congratulated Paul Wolfowitz on his election as the president of the World Bank.
In Israel, The Jerusalem Post had selected Paul Wolfowitz as its Man of the Year for 2002. The Post stated: "On September 15, 2001, at a meeting in Camp David, Wolfowitz advised President George W. Bush to skip Kabul and train American guns on Baghdad. In March 2003, he got his wish. In the process, Wolfowitz became the most influential US deputy defense secretary ever - can you so much as name anyone else who held the post?"
"When President Bush says, "America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons" -- that's Wolfowitz talking. When the president calls for "a new Arab charter that champions internal reform, greater political participation, economic openness and free trade" -- that's Wolfowitz's talking, too. ...

I doubt he said that but IF he did then it indicates an arrogance and fundamental lack of patriotism on his part. We all have not just a right but a duty as well to speak out when we feel that our government is taking us down the wrong path, making decisions that are not in the countries best interests. That's what democracy is supposed to be all about. I would expect a member of the senate to understand that.
BTW, republicans should be just as disturbed when politicians make comments like that.

As the "Senator from Israel," Joe Lieberman has no right to question the patriotism of American citizens, no matter what their political leanings might be. Although I'm sure the remark won applause in the Knesset, he should be expelled from the Democratic Party, and made to sit with Larry Craig and the other war heroes on the GOP side of the aisle.

I don't really believe that so many Democrats have issues with the war. What they really have is a boatload of issues with the President and if he's in favor of something, they're going to be against it. If President Bush announced on television tomorrow that he found an alternative fuel for oil that was free, they'd be condemning him for being anti-oil.
I really have to laugh at the one who called Lieberman a traitor. It was the Democratic Party who treated him like a pariah, and then they expect his loyalty? How much more idiotic can they get.

I think it confirms my belief back in Y2K that it was a mistake to put him on the Democratic ticket, instead of an actual Democrat.
Lieberman's just showing his true Bushevik colors. I hope he gets the Vice-Presidential nod from the Rupublicans next year--which seems to be what he's after.
