How many Democrats remember that? Lieberman is right on. Obama wants to bring about absolute socialism and equality, regardless of whether an individual earns it. Working hard will become meaningless as he is happy to fund programs to replace income for the laziest segment of the population. And to top it off, as he tries to "protect" groups that elect to put themselves in the situation they are in, he will fail to protect those that have absolutely no choice and are silently murdered every day...unborn children.

You have no values either, so you fit with the Republicans so well. You are one of them. If Lieberman was that good, why did the Democratic Party lose in 2000?

There are good republicans and good democrats and bad republicans and bad democrats. There are intelligent republicans and intelligent democrats as well as the less intelligent types. How many and what percentage lie in each category is completely subjective to the person doing the rating. I agree with some stances of both parties though the "party line" is often way oversimplified so as to make it impossible to agree wholeheartedly with anything either party puts out. I am sick of the power grabbing. It only results in candidates that nobody is comfortable voting for without reservations. I don't know why I get sucked in to reading this stuff.
