Lieberman claims to be a Dem...
when it suits him and threatens to become a Repug if he doesn't get his way. Lanny Davis worked for the Clintons and I suppose he is a Dem. What I would like to know is have you noticed that some of these people who are suppose to be Dems seem to be hugged up with the Repugs lately. I heard the ending of the michael medved show and Davis was on spouting something about the Dems as I have seen him doing on other shows.He seems to be doing what liberman is doing and there have been others. I really do believe that saying about permanent interests. I could never believe in some of the things the repugs believe in but I do believe in some.

I think as we go through this upcoming election we will begin to see the true colors of many and the hate for the Clintons is only the beginning. I was listening to this Bernstein guy this morning talking about his book about Hillary and he was discussing how her mother was in an abusive relationship and how hillary didn't portray it this way in her book. What I really would like to know is why should we care if this happened or not. What does this have to do with her running for president? There are lots of situations like this in america so are we suppose to be shocked and not vote for her because of this. It would not effect my vote one way or the other and I have not made a choice. When I see these people jump from side to side and turning on each other I begin to wonder what is there motive. In the cases of the two I have mentioned I know it has to do with Israel. What is Bob Shrums's motive in going against Edwards?

1. Lanny Davis is a lawyer
Most of his clients and friends are Democrats, so maybe
it's convenient for him to say he is a Democrat. I've met
him a couple of times, and to me, he comes across as a "which-
ever-way-the-wind-blows." Either a "Liebercrat" or an "Opportuberman."

2. Lieberman also claims to be an honest man-imagine that!
I am beginning to hate that disgusting trade-politics.

My parents always regarded all politicians as charlatans and self-serving crooks. I have tried to shrug off their teachings and be open minded, but it is becoming more and more difficult.

3. My Understanding, Listening To Him
is that he raised these points for two reasons. He seems to feel she is carrying baggage she has never dealt with honestly with herself or anyone else, and, that she's more spin than truth. I think, and again this is my interpretation of what he was saying, is that she lacks in authenticity.

6. I saw Carl Bernstein interviewed this afternoon on CNN - I thought
it was a vile, self-serving interview for him, with his reasons for writing this book only thinly-disguised ways of saying: it's salacious, and it will sell.

There's no reason that her family history or anything else not pertaining to her actions is anything we need to know. If her father was an ass, but she wishes to remember a more idyllic childhood, what the hell business is that of Bernstein's? (Other than selling books). There's nothing compelling in that as far as governance or journalism.

I wanted to slap him afterwards. How far the supposed giants who broke open Watergate have fallen, huh?

10. That is the way I see it...
I keep on wondering why they hate her so much. I can not understand why someone would hate a woman because she stayed with her husband because of his adultery. Why is it there business, a lot of these people do the same thing and their spouses. I haven't heard what garbage Bay Buchanan has written but I suspect it is more of the same.

11. It is none of his business..
about what happened between her parents, how will this effect her being president? What I got from it is that he didn't like the way she explained it. Look at what we have in the government now, a majority of them are liars,thieves adulterers and they are on both sides.

13. He kept implying the problem was that she hasn't been truthful
About what? How she sees (or even wishes to see) her upbringing? And that's who's business besides hers?

There's no grand search for the truth from some dedicated journalist here.

There's a hack, looking for a handy target to sell a bunch of books. And probably still some competition with Woodward in that.

5. His name says it best 'Lie Berman'
Hillary thinks we are 'are safer than we were' before 9/11! That statement makes me wonder who she is getting campaign advice from! 'Annual terrorism report will show 29% rise in attacks; http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/news/nation/17145574.htm?source=rss&channel=krwashington_nation IMO, the Republicans would be delighted to have Clinton as the candidate and don't want to spoil their chances by beating up on her too much, now.

Consider this: The Justice Department's and other investigatory files on the Clinton years are currently fully under the control the Bush administration and will be until Inauguration Day." http://prorev.com/hillary.htm We should all know we are being setup. If Hillary wins we should be prepared to counter their attacks on both the Clintons! We really need a Democrat to win!

8. Is Joe moving in for a little smoochie with the Big Chihuahua?
If so, I think he's supposed to be at the other end. If you get my drift. And I think you do.

Lieberman has never threatened to become a Republican.

14. He sure did act like one tonight
:hi: I was flipping through the channels and there he was, on Faux Noise. I made myself watch,even though I get very upset watching Hannity. LieBerman is a war-mongering Giuliano911 supporter,just like the host! I would say he is more Republican like, than he ever was a true Democrat! I wish I could post the video for you, to show how obvious it is ,but I won't post faux video! 'Lieberman urges military strike on Iran' http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3310763

16. Yesterday, lieberman was out there proving my point...
he is a warmongering REPUBLICON. Anything he says concerning the war is because it has to do with Israel...If this country is going to fight the wars for Israel then why did they give them nuclear weapons as well as other weapons...
