i don't think of us attacked any Dem governors or other leaders during these type of disasters for working with a republican to help the people.

(48,181 posts)And the answer is yes we were all outraged by lieberman's support of Bush.
I'm pretty sure that creep would disagree with you though. Lieberman saw his support for Bush as mandated by the disaster of 9-11 and the Glorious War that followed.

(25,453 posts)If Lieberman firmly believed that outing Saddam Hussein was an endeavor worth thousands of American lives and a trillion dollars of our money, regardless of what weapons Saddam had or didn't have, he should've defended that position.
There's no defense for lying to the country to get us into a war, none whatsoever. And by the time Ned Lamont was running against him in 2006, it was completely obvious that Bush had done that.

(1,451 posts)because the person doing the praising was actually wrong. We attacked Lieberman because he was a warmonger.
I don't think we've done personal attacks.

this is why Christie has been so open in his praise of Obama. it didn't come out of no where or just about being respect.

(37,648 posts)Politicians, for sure. But not that same kind of politician that Romney is. I think we can all agree that we've never seen the likes of Romney before. Someone who would say and do absolutely anything, even bald faced lie, to win. No character.
