Has Sen. Lieberman reacted yet to Bush's eavesdropping admission?
Since Holy Joe seems so determined to become a Republican, and since he's such a staunch defender of Bush that he's gone so far as to publicly state that Dems shouldn't criticize the Great Leader's Iraq policies and that they aren't being good citizens if they do, I was wondering if there's been any reaction from Mr. DINO yet to Bush's admission of secretly signing orders allowing the NSA to bypass the courts and spy on American citizens.

Such an admission should be the absolute final straw for any American who is even remotely supportive of Bush. How the hell he can be defended by ANYONE now is just beyond all reasonable comprehension. But this is Holy Joe we're talking about here, who's stabbed his party in the back so many times there isn't any blood left.

1. Joe will shove his head farther up Dubya's shitter
and proceed to step up the anti-Dem rhetoric.

3. I wish the asshole would
just switch parties and make it official already. I told his office that last week, actually.

Edit. This was supposed to be a response to Arkana's post #1.

8. No doubt about it.
He will soon be trashing Feingold and other Dems for not supporting the Coward while we are at war.

Is Lieberthug a chickenhawk as well?

13. Yes, he is, actually.
He never served in Vietnam, but was apparently an ardent supporter of that lovely little conflict. Gee, is anyone surprised?

And that's another aspect of his hypocrisy. He throws hissy fits about the violence of video games and song lyrics, and plays morality nanny in attempting to change the industry to do what he wants, but has no problem at all with the REAL blood and guts and gore and horrendous violence of REAL war, such as in Iraq. But then, that's the way chickenhawks usually are.

7. I looked earlier
They think that the spying should continue and that whoever leaked the news of its existence should be executed.

Freaks. All they ever think about is killing people.

14. Oh, they're all for it until
it hits THEM and THEY are the ones who are being spied on. Then you'd better believe all hell would break loose. It's okay for everyone else, but not for them. Especially because we all know that the government would never, ever spy on its citizens unless they had good reason to do so (where's the bullshit icon?).

And the thing that REALLY gets me about such attitudes is that they are the ones who love to claim that they are the true protectors and defenders of freedom, and espouse the evils of communism and dictatorships. And yet, the kind of laws that our Great Leader secretly signed, and what his administration has been doing these past several years, is exactly the kind of thing that the "evil empire" would do and did do to its citizens.

And as for them lambasting the press, that's exactly what the press of a free nation is supposed to do. Seems like they want the kind of press that exists in communist dictatorships. Better not tell that to them, though, their heads would explode.

5. Oddly enough
He voted against cloture in the Patriot Act debate. Not defending him, mind you. Just pointing it out.

9. I dunno, but he and Hillary and Bayh have joined hands to revise the
warnings on videos. Wow. Now that is a very succint response to all that is going on, what with Bush assuming a virtual dictatorship and giving us all the finger by asserting he doesn't give a shit about the Constitution and we can all, all of us who are obviously he enemies, go pound salt.

Yup, Lieberman and Clinton are right up there on this "Constitution" thing :sarcasm:

10. Yeah, I heard Joe called the White House because he forgot the time
of his dentist appointment next week.

12. Has Hillary Clinton responded?
Besides the urgent legislation on regulating videogames and outlawing the rampant flagburning lighting up our land?
