Lieberman is Looking Very Moderate Republican Today

Lieberman is sounding like a Republican these days and that is "really" defining the troubles of a John Murtha & Howard "the duck" Dean's defeatist Democrat party, and man do they have a "HUGE" problem.............................

Murtha is the House Rep who the DNC advertised as their "hawk" who then called for immediate withdraw and tuck our tail in defeat in Iraq. The problem for the Dems is that the "true" hawk of the party said "NO WAY":

Lieberman has argued that Bush has a strategy for victory in Iraq, has dismissed calls for the president to set a timetable for troop withdrawal, and has warned that it would be a "colossal mistake" for the Democratic leadership to "lose its will" at this critical point in the war...............................

When you put the Lieberman standing on the war against the rest of the dem party it becomes pretty telling:

Harry Reid (Sen minority leader): is troubled by Lieberman's comments, Reid's aides said. "I've talked to Senator Lieberman, and unfortunately he is at a different place on Iraq than the majority of the American people," Reid said yesterday. Op-Ed Me:(well no he just isn't with you and the DNC on this matter, where the DNC happen to be the minority who want defeat in Iraq and are rooting for it publically via the Murtha, Dean & Pelosi defeat statements)

Nancy Pelosi ( House minority leader): "I completely disagree" with Lieberman. She added: "I believe that we have a responsibility to speak out if we think that the course of action that our country is on is not making the American people safer, making our military stronger and making the region more stable."

John Murtha ( dem front member for cut and run ): It is time for a change in direction," said Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., one of Congress' most hawkish Democrats. "Our military is suffering, the future of our country is at risk. We cannot continue on the present course. It is evident that continued military action in Iraq is not in the best interests of the United States of America, the Iraqi people or the Persian Gulf region."

Lieberman I think was the best of the 2000 Gore ticket and almost got it done for the dems, but even his presence on the ticket came up slightly short. Gore was without a doubt the liability factor on that ticket and Lieberman was the "money" component............................

I agree with several of Lieberman's social standings and completely with his military position on Iraq. Lieberman would be a great addition to the "moderate" wing of the RNC. Who knows, he might win a VP seat on one of the next tickets if he did move over to the party of rational policies and did not have to carry water for a liberal zero like Al Gore...........................................
