Lieberman is The Black Republican of the Year for 2005

[proud2BlibKansan]

So, without further ado, we award The Black Republican of the Year for 2005 to Senator Joseph Lieberman.

Despite the rhetoric he used when he joined the Democratic campaign in 2000 as the Vice-Presidential nominee, Senator Lieberman has been - especially since the terrorist attacks of 2001 - a firm voice of strength in America. This, more than anything, has set him apart in such a stark contrast to the rest of his party as to earn him the distinction we confer today. As the primary piece of evidence, we need only look back to the last month of the year. While the rest of Washington D.C. churned and broiled following the call by Rep. John Murtha to pull our troops out of Iraq, Senator Lieberman stepped forward to renounce that position and proclaim, "Our Troops Must Stay."

It is a war between 27 million and 10,000; 27 million Iraqis who want to live lives of freedom, opportunity and prosperity and roughly 10,000 terrorists who are either Saddam revanchists, Iraqi Islamic extremists or al Qaeda foreign fighters who know their wretched causes will be set back if Iraq becomes free and modern. The terrorists are intent on stopping this by instigating a civil war to produce the chaos that will allow Iraq to replace Afghanistan as the base for their fanatical war-making. We are fighting on the side of the 27 million because the outcome of this war is critically important to the security and freedom of America. If the terrorists win, they will be emboldened to strike us directly again and to further undermine the growing stability and progress in the Middle East, which has long been a major American national and economic security priority....

Every time the 27 million Iraqis have been given the chance since Saddam was overthrown, they have voted for self-government and hope over the violence and hatred the 10,000 terrorists offer them.

If that stand in favor of our troops and their mission - against the overwhelming majority of his Democratic colleagues - were not significant and courageous enough, it was not the only one taken last year by the Senator from Connecticut. Earlier in the year, he joined with 13 other self-proclaimed "moderates" from both parties as part of the "Gang of 14", which stopped the intemperate (we'd call unconstitutional) filibustering of President Bush's appointments to the federal bench, freeing such distinguished jurists as Janice Rogers Brown to finally take their place on the Circuit Courts of Appeal. In September, he took a similar stand on the side of sanity in supporting Chief Justice Roberts' nomination.

1. Sounds like a Repuke stump speech

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. These are the same people who think

Lincoln was black, so go figure . . .

3. isn't this the website run by a couple of neocon twenty somethings?

who claim that they represent the views of blacks better than blacks... because they just know better? (Or something ridiculous along those lines.)

4. I THINK the site is a spoof, but in the age of shrubco, I have to honestly

say, I'm unsure. And uneasy about that!

5. This proves the point that

ignorance is an equal opportunity provider.

Since these kind of sites aren't meant for Black people, I'll bet I'm one of the few to know about it or it's group.

I think I'll post it around some of the AA sites like Black Voices , just to see what they think. :evilgrin:

Stay tuned....it ought to be a lot a fun and fireworks. :rofl:

12. Um.. what proof have you, pray tell, that IRAQIs are "coming here with

bombs, ricin, and anything else they can get"?

???

And if you truly believe in the shrubco "we're fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here" which is what you seem to be dispensing here, why not just support shrub, since that's HIS foreign policy? Why post here? :shrug:
