Lieberman says McCain is JFK

CNN
Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Connecticut, compared presumptive Republican nominee John McCain to a surprising figure on Sunday — Democratic icon John F. Kennedy.

“I'm a Democrat who came to the party in the era of President John F. Kennedy,” Lieberman told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week. ”It's a strange turn of the road when I find among the candidates running this year that the one, in my opinion, closest to the Kennedy legacy, the John F. Kennedy legacy, is John S. McCain.”

36. They only have one thing in common - had JFK lived in the Atwater-Rovian era - they
would have accused him of having a black child, also. It's the only thing they share.

As to general inspiration and embrace of the political process for the benefit of average Americans?

Not so much. More like Hoover, really.

16. JFK called himself a liberal.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/presidents/35_kennedy/psources/ps_nyliberal.html
====================
...someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal."
=============

John McCain calls himself a "conservative" and he voted against creating the Martin Luther King Holiday.

19. Dipshit.



Evidently it doesn't occur to McCain what a liability it is to his campaign to have such a weasel pumping out the bullshit for him. Let him keep it up because nothing good can come of it.

so demented that it's hard to even know how to assess the myriad of retarded things that he has said and done. I'm at a loss...

A visionary, just "misunderstood", waiting for history to "absolve him".

He's really just a toady, clinging to some REALLY bad decisions he made about, oh, 8 years ago or so.

He's just Zell Miller with more power.

51. The war on terror
“The Democratic candidates have spent most of their time attacking the war in Iraq… they've honestly not done anything substantial to advance our cause in Afghanistan or against Al Qaeda.”

I don't agree at all. Edwards, who I originally supported, had a great plan to fight Al Qaeda. And Obama talks alot about taking the war to Afghanistan, where Al Qaeda actually is. And both talk about increasing humanitarian aid to win the war of hearts and minds.

I'll almost guarantee that McCain would have been one of those nuts advocating that Kennedy bomb Cuba during the missile crisis.

They both had two eyes and five fingers on each hand, so they
were practically identical twins. Hey, if he can justify all
the other crap he has come up with in the last two years, this
should look like linear logic to him.
