None of the candidates deserve to be called Bush-lite!
I used be a person who derided Kerry and others because of the war votes, and it still doesn't sit well with me, but after watching Bush on "Meet the Press" today and seeing how distrubing his view of the world is, I must say that I don't think anyone should be comparing of these candidates to Bush. It's hyperbole, for the most part, but really I think it's becoming childish. Kerry may have voted for the war, but we know if he had been President he would not have invaded Iraq. None of them would have, not even Joe Lieberman despite his talk. Really, none of these Democrats are like Bush, and I think any of them will deserve my vote this November.

2. Yes, Lieberman would have launched a war against Iraq
He was the biggest supporter of the war. He's linked philosophicall to the Likud and Ariel Sharon side of Israel -- the far right wing.

Kerry would do what is politically expedient for him. He probably would not have launched a war, but then again he probably would if the poll numbers favored it. That's Kerry logic in a nutshell.

3. Joe Lieberman is full of hot air
John Kerry might have tried to oust Saddam, but not by these means.

4. Here, here! Anyone...
Anyone that says one of the Dem candidates is Bush-lite doesn't know enough about Bush.
