  I appreciate Joe. For a real Democrat give the USA Zell Miller. The Democrat party has been taken over by disciples of Marxists and socialists. Hussein in his own words sought Marxist friends and professors in college. Thereafter his friends were the Ayers and Rev. Wright.

  Invite Zell to show the young voters what a real Democrat is.

  Well it’s good to have Holy Joe be a seat filler at the GOP convention considering that so many Republican Senators are ducking the event.

  Judging by the effect that Joe LIEberman has when he gets within 10 feet of a presidential ticket you guys better worried that you’re not courting a black cat here. Enjoy your “bounce” while it lasts.

  “service, reform, prosperity and peace” are the themes of the convention?

  Is that a joke - or just more Orwellian New Speak?

  Service - pretty laughable, since the current radical corporatists who run the GOP have spent the last 8 years de-professionalizing public service, instead stacking public agencies with incompetent partisan hacks, a la Brownie.

  Reform - as the incumbent party, what do you propose to “reform”? - your own excesses?

  Prospertity - with real wages down, the least job creation during a 2 term president ever, and inputs like food, energy, and healthcare costs spiraling upward, it seems the only prosperity to be had is limited to the people McCain alluded to making in excess of $5 million. Yes, for them, there has been much prosperity. For the rest of us, we just want the simple things - a job that earns us some dignity, access to healthcare, a safe place to send our kids to school, and for them to have it a little bit better than we had.

  Peace - tragically laughable, since we’ve been fighting two wars for longer than WWII, with no end in sight. And Mr Mcinsane pushing for more - even before he becomes president.

  gotsbrains?,

  Now THAT’S truly laughable.

  You can’t see the difference because Obama’s got you hypnotized.

  The difference, my friend, is the GOP spends to keep you safe, to save life in general, and put food on the table by creating jobs.

  Your liberal “friends” in Congress, however, want to spend, spend, spend by taking from the people who do most of the working, living, and paying for every last dime that you get…thus, when time comes to open the coffers…SHAZAM! IT’S ALL GONE!!!

  Uh huh, yeah, look at that big pork barrel in the sky, and as it gets bigger it starts to block the sun, and pretty soon it’s right above your head, and pretty soon it’s sitting on your head, and pretty soon AAAAAlll of America has got this huge debt sitting on their backs….and Barack just keeps addin to it.

  And you lap it up likes there’s no tomorrow.

  Pitiful!

  What’s pitiful is the Reiichpublicans 8 year ransacking of a surplus in the TRILLIONS, leaving this nation in debt to the same amount. Who’s buying that debt? The Chinese. And you say keeping us safe???!!!!????
  Hmmmmmm leaving us in debt to a competing emergent superpower. Great national security plan you guys have. How about for an encore we get Bush to tell us all again how he looked into Putin’s eyes and saw his soul.
  Oh and lets not forget, and if we do the history books will certainly remind us that this country’s worst terrorist attack happened on YOUR watch.

  Yep it’s be a bang up job by the party of “responsibility”

  Historically, the GOP has shown that when its politicians are in power, they tend to spend MORE than the democrats do.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_debt_by_U.S._presidential_terms

  This table shows that if you order the president byt the debt/GDP increase during their terms, every single presidential temr under which tis ratio went up was a republicain. Conversely, only during three republicain terms did the ratio go down. The seven terms with a democrat in the white house, the debt/GDP ratio was REDUCED.

  The difference is that republicains borrow the money they spend, indebting future generations with no end in sight.

  The democrats are the true party of fiscal responsibility. To take a GOP-cined phrase, what you call “pork barrels” pay for themselves… contrary to the tax cuts for the rich.

  But then, facts have never been known to reach you.

  Remove Joe’s love for the Iraq war and you will find Liberman is more liberal than Obama. Did Liberman vote with Bush 95% of the time like McCain or did I miss something?
