Irked, Or Simply Disgusted?
by Buck

I’ll go with disgusted. Just the sight of Lieberman turns my stomach. The man should not only be drummed out of politics, he should be drummed out of the country too.

McCain, Lieberman coziness irks Dems, conservatives

Two of a kind.

Conservatives and Democrats rarely agree, but the decision to have Sen. Joe Lieberman speak at the Republican National Convention has put both groups on edge. [...]

Many Democrats were already angry with Lieberman for his strong and vocal support for the continued deployment of U.S. troops in Iraq.

If Lieberman were on the GOP ticket, conservatives argue, it would hurt McCain’s standing with conservatives because Lieberman supports abortion rights.

This whole abortion argument has me thinking. For several years, (up until 2006 anyways), republicans ran the show. They were basically in charge at every level of government, and Lord knows, threw their weight around at every opportunity.

So, with abortion weighing so heavily on the hearts and minds of their republican constituents, why didn’t Bush strike while the iron was hot? And don’t hand me that “he was too busy fighting a war” crap. The man has taken more vacation time than any other president in American history! He had plenty of time.

Where is their outrage?
