Traitor Lieberman to Be GOP Vice President?

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Technically, "Turncoat Joe" Lieberman is actually the Vice President of the United States already, but it's still bizarre to see him campaign with ultra-conservative Senator John McCain. Forget "Sleepyhead Fred" Thompson-- is McCain going to seal his victory in advance by selecting the one-time Democrat from Connecticut as his running mate? Newsweek speculated on it in an interview with Lieberman just published.

(By the way, what is up with the above picture, taken from a global warming press conference last year? It's just begging for a caption contest...)

Lieberman is not a traitor or a turncoat. Quite frankly I think he is a patriot.

Lieberman is intelligent enough to understand that the war on terrorism and the Islamic Fascists is the chief threat today to Western Civilization. He recognizes that the Troop Surge in Iraq worked and that We will must have a long term commitment to defeating radical Islam an ideology that continues condone slavery and the murder of non believers and supports the suppression and subjugation of women including female genital mutilation, honor killings of wives and daughters by fathers, brothers and uncles. Remember we are in a life and death struggle with an ideology that wants to destroy Israel and replace modern western democracies with Shareia law. Western Civilization must defeat Islamic radicalism at any cost.

The Clinton, Obama and Democrat party do not have the stomach, the experience or the courage for the fight, so we need John McCain and we need Joe Lieberman to join the McCain administration. I say it is a wonderful idea!

Rpnathhorst, you're right.  Except none of those Islamofascists were in Iraq *before* the Bush-McCain-Liebermans of the world invaded the place!  The real enemy was in Afghanistan, and W took his eye off the ball so he could punish Saddam for "trying to kill [his] Dad."  Now, I blame Hillary for voting for that nonsense, too, but she at least has come to see the error of her ways.  McCain and Lieberman are just delusional Bushlackeys.

You are correct that the islamo-fascists were not present in great number in Iraq under Saddam Husein. Saddam was a Baathist and was not about to put up with any competition as long as he had his industrial shredders and his homicidal rapist sons on the job.

Old Saddan was a pain in the ass and a threat to his neighbors, and he sitting on some very strategic territory so he had to go.

Now we have some nice solid strategic bases to go after the islamo fascists in Iran, Syria and Pakistan and a few other places. It was a necessary strategic move to take Iraw.

No WMDs you say? Oh well who cares, we have the bases and the C5A's and B52s have a place to nearby place to land and the our troops have staging areas.

We are going to be fighting these benighted fanatics until their neighbors get sick of them and stop supporting them and start sending their daughters to grammer school, high school, college, grad school, Medical school law school etc. instead of cutting off their clitorises and labia and sewing up their vaginas.

Hillary was right to vote for the war and there is nothing delusional about McCain Lieberman or G.W. Bush. Our only failing in this fight is that we reduced the US military in the so called Peace Dividend instead of gearing up for the next fight. That was the fault of G.H.W. Bush and Bubba Clinton and congress.
