When is Joe Lieberman gonna denounce Foley, Hastert et.al.?

The silence is defeaning, Holy Joe.

Surely they deserve the same scorn you piled on Clinton when he had consensual sex w/ an adult.

:eyes:

We done him wrong, doncha know.....

TC

Thank you! You are the sugar in my tea!

Ooh, I don't think anyone has ever called me that ... Thanks! :blush:

You are the foam in my latte! :hi:

....maybe Joe should consider having some REAL values instead of trying to suck up to the Repukes who hide the sexual exploitation of a minor.

Ummmmmmm....don't hold your breath ~~ not that any of us would. Lieberman would not know the right thing to do if someone held a gun to his head and demanded that he take a stance on the issue of the Repukes in Congress covering for a child molester in their group. He is too busy kissing neo-con ass.

scandal du jour, so he wouldn't want to jeopardize his "bipartisan reaching across the aisle" opportunities.

As you say, totally without principles.

Thanks for starting the thread and making a good point, Oregonian :hi:

Good to hear from ya! :hi: :hug:

once again!

He isn't capable of criticizing his party (the REPUKES) - you know damn well he's foaming at the mouth to criticize DEMS like he's done countless times before!...

Has no particular need to do so, being the Democtratic candidate for Senate in his state, and Foley having no direct bearing on his race, or the remotest affiliation to him. It might, however, be a useful tactic for Mr. Lamont to insist on Lieberman's expressing displeasure with this latest instance of Republican sexual hipocrisy and cover-up, since Lieberman is striving to pretend he is really a Democrat even though he is basing his campaign on courting Republicans....

I do so love it when you smackdown conservatives.

The facts speak for themselves and it tarnishs those facts for every Democrat in the country to now seek media face time to personally say how terrible they are, although talking about a possible Republican leadership cover up is a legitimate political issue.

However Joe Lieberman made a special high profile effort to denounce on moral grounds fellow Democrat and then President Bill Clinton for his consensual sex act with an adult intern. Lieberman grand standed his own self righteous "personal morality" into a spot on the 2000 Democratic national ticket. So yeah, where is Lieberman now?

You said you supported the Dem nominee. Now a poster asks a reasonable question and you try to turn it against a candidate you claim to support. I call BS. What exactly is your agenda anyway?

But supporting a candidate does not require me to support faulty premises.

The OP asked a logical question. Was he bashing Lieberman? Yes he was. And rightfully so. And you apparently were offended. You can't fool everyone here.

Damn Straight Lamont doesn't have to speak out against hastert and per my post down thread..herr lieman has already gone on imus and whined about .."oh the partisian of it":+

the House and vice-versa. In fact, Senators usually won't even say 'House,' but will refer to it as the "other boday."

House Rule XIV prohibits members from even saying the word "Senate" on the House floor.

after he announced that he would oppose the Democratic nominee. Perhaps if the Democrats in the Senate had done that, lieberman wouldn't be leading in the polls right now.

no surprise there...

Amazing ain't it? Every day.

Ned on Joe Lieberman's Defense of Dennis Hastert

“Joe Lieberman just can’t bring himself to hold anyone in Washington accountable, even when the safety of our children is at stake. If Dennis Hastert knew that Mark Foley was harassing minors and didn’t do anything about it, he should resign immediately. Anyone who disagrees is morally tone deaf. The fact that Joe Lieberman says calling for Hastert’s resignation is too “partisan” demonstrates that he’s been in Washington so long that he can’t recognize the difference between what’s right and what’s partisan.

We expect Senator Lieberman to stand by President Bush on the war and other failed policies, but until now we didn’t expect him to protect a public leader who put the safety of our children at risk. Connecticut deserves better than someone who puts a twisted definition of “bipartisanship” ahead of what’s right for this country. It’s time for a change.”


OK, Freddie, I answered your question, how about you answer the OP's?

I don't want this to be the last we hear from Ned Lamont(this election time)..he makes such good logic.

That is an excellent line for his campaign.

As an aside, this common cry that "partisanship" is a bad thing drives me to tears and laughter: people like partisanship and partisan bickering, feeling how hard someone fights for his or her side as an indicator of how hard they will fight for consitituents....

And vice versa. Each house of Congress seems to have enough troubles of its own right now without borrowing from the other. Senators in particular are loathe even to recognize the existence of the House, a body they consider greatly inferior to their august personages. It's like noticing the help at an elegant formal dinner.

when you are a senior. Perish the thought!

Denounce Republicans?

"Lieberman says calling for Hastert's resignation partisan!"
snip~

"Now to make it into a political question is wrong.

<snip>

"So I don't know., if I were Hastert I would bring someone in quickly do the investigation and then somebody has got to be held accountable for what happened assuming that they had reason to know what was going on and they didn't act quickly enough because if they don't do something soon they are bleeding politically from it and they may not be convicted in a court of law but they are going to be convicted in the court of public opinion that will be registered on November seventh, so far I think they have handled it very badly."

So, um, Lieberman thinks Hastert should appoint someone to investigate...Hastert...otherwise the Repugs will lose in November?"

It hopefully will be very soon....like the evening of November 7, 2006.

He likes people who live lies and are a vampire sucking the life out of the political system as he is fond of doing.

Wonder why?

should denounce this perversion and enabling that infests their party.
