A Republican in Democratic Field?

[pruner]

Maybe there will be a Republican primary fight, after all. President Bush, officially, remains unopposed as he seeks the GOP presidential nomination. But what about Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman?

On Wednesday, the Democratic candidate sided with the Bush administration -- and against Democratic Senate leader Thomas A. Daschle (S.D.) -- in a key Senate vote over Republican efforts to restrict class action lawsuits. Lieberman's vote was a thumb in the eye of the trial lawyers, among the Democrats' most loyal sources of funds.

That same day, Lieberman told an Associated Press editorial board that he supported Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's decision, hailed by religious conservatives, to reinstate the feeding tube of a 39-year-old woman who has been in a vegetative state for 13 years.

Finally, on Friday, Lieberman announced the first member of a would-be Lieberman administration -- Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). "I'd ask John McCain to be my secretary of defense," Lieberman said on Don Imus's show. "I have total trust in him. He's strong, he's independent and he's a hero." He's also flattered, but not interested, a McCain spokesman said.

1. Lieberman's a waste

I blame his being on Gore's ticket for the fact that we didn't have the insurmountable numbers needed to keep shrub out of DC. :mad:

3. Agreed

He sucks.

2. Evan Bayh also voted for tort reform

and Bayh voted to ban the so-called "partial-birth" abortion procedure, something that not even Lieberman would do.

Jews believe that life doesn't begins until birth.
