One of John McCain's most prominent supporters on Tuesday praised an evangelical leader whom the Republican presidential candidate repudiated after a string of controversial remarks were made public.

Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, an independent who frequently campaigns with McCain, said pastor John Hagee's support for Israel outweighed the remarks that led McCain to reject his endorsement.

Lieberman said he had been urged not to speak to Hagee's group, Christians United for Israel.

"The bond that I feel with Pastor Hagee and each and every one of you is much stronger than that, and so I am proud to stand with you tonight," Lieberman told several thousand members of the group, which urges U.S. support for Israel.

Calling Sen. Joe Lieberman a piece of shit may sound vulgar but it's the only appropriate political decription of the guy I can come up with.

He thinks he will run for U.S. President some day, I'm sure, might even have a poster of Barry Goldwater hanging on the back of his bathroom door.

I agree. he's currently the worst politician in the US that holds elected office(Bush is irrelevant anyway, and as for elected, well...)

He calls himself an "independent Democrat", and made some kind of a deal with Democrat leaders, for an illusion of support. Rethugs have 49 Senate seats so Lieberman does have some influence to peddle.
IOW, a real scumbag

Lieberman was Al Gore's running mate. What does that say about Gore?

1) That he made a bad choice of running-mates.

2) That he was too beholden to the power groupings within the Democratic Party in 2000 and succumbed to pressure to add a northeastern conservative to the ticket.

But, "losing" in 2000 did wonders to improve Gore's politics, and his political judgement.

Oh, really?

I'm still waiting to hear Gore apologize for standing by as Bill Clinton pushed Capitol Punishment at home and carpet bombed Iraqi "military" targets abroad---with no noticeable change in the Iraqi political leadership as a result but plenty of civilian deaths, directly and from collateral damage. Keeping the right-wing and the military-industrial complex happy can be a bloody business, and Clinton/Gore did their jobs well.

I am tempted to take Gore supporters by the shirt collar and inform them that his green turn is calculated to undermine Ralph Nader and the Green party, to position himself for another run at the Whitehouse. But, I am not totally sure what this shill is up to yet. He might just be exploring angles for now, and wearing LL Bean clothing in Earth tones is a nice costume to wear while doing it.

Al Gore hangs with some extreme people:

"“All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.” - Club of Rome, The First Global Revolution

“I don’t claim to have any special interest in natural history, but as a boy I was made aware of the annual fluctuations in
the number of game animals and the need to adjust
the cull to the size of the surplus population.“
- Prince Philip, preface of Down to Earth

PEOPLE are the enemy, not corporations and not the global elite who lied to billions of people throughout the cold war. Cold war propagandists led billions of people to believe in the capitalist dream for middle class consumerism based on the most oil-dependent economies in the world. Billions of people were lied to on a constant basis.

Today the lying liars don't suggest the enemy is communism or even socialism, it's people. Phil Windsor, a guy who hasn't worked a day in his pathetic life and admits to being an expert in nothing, nods up and down in automatic agreement with global elites of a need to "cull the herd" by several billion human beings. Who do these idiots think they are?

When animal populations are "culled" its useless old sponges like Prince Philip who die off; it's good to know that when the "culling" starts he'll go quietly, for the good of the species...
