Comments on: Can We Trade Hagle for Lieberman? http://urbangrounds.com/2008/05/trade-hagle-for-lieberman/ Sometimes the truth hurts Tue, 14 Feb 2012 23:23:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sandy Smith http://urbangrounds.com/2008/05/trade-hagle-for-lieberman/#comment-135840 Sandy Smith Fri, 06 Jun 2008 10:18:51 +0000 http://urbangrounds.com/2008/05/21/trade-hagle-for-lieberman/#comment-135840 Lieberman has experience. Obama does not. Lieberman speaks truthfully. Obama does not. Lieberman has the strenth of his convictions. Obama does not. Why would anyone in the world even think of electing this guy Obama? "I'm resigning my church for the benefit of its members." Huh? At least Wright was honest when he said what he believes. Obama is highly dishonest. Not sure if Lieberman will be the VP but he'll make a great Secretary of State. That's where McCain should slot him after beating this absolute clown Obama. Lieberman has experience. Obama does not.

Reagan negotiated with Gorbachev, but I guess in joe's world that really didn't happen. In joe's world, the history of US politics from 1776-2000 (long on diplomacy, short on unilateralism) is meaningless. What matters is only the bush-cheney legacy of "you are either for us or against us and if you're against us, we attack". This foriegn-policy-as-first-grade-boy approach has a) emboldened our enemies (chavez and ahmadinejad were nobodies in 2000), b) reduced our leverage with other ne'er do wells like mugabe and kim jong il, and c) left the global leaders of al-queda to roam free in a new country. Joe's for more of that? You can have him. You'll have to reinstate the draft, of course, because we don't actually have enough soldiers to attack everybody he wants to attack. And of course the current republican party wouldn't want somebody who is intimately familiar with the american military and an expert in foriegn affairs on their side because the GOP has become the "let's not cloud the issues with facts" party. Good luck with that. Let's see how well you do in the fall elections. Lieberman’s article is childish and moronic.

The logic of this option is being discussed. Perhaps... Lieberman for VP?…

Wish Obama would lift Sebelius from our shoulders here in Ks. but I guess that's too much to hope for. The trade’s a good idea.
