Why doesn't JOE "DINO" LIBERMEN, just run as a Republican!!!! Surely the GOP voters will welcome the "Turn Coat" into their ranks.

He votes the same as many democrats on the immigration issue and is rated a 100% by teh AFL-CIO for his support of unions. I don't see how people can say that he has adopted the same stance as the Republicans on most issues. If you take out his stances on foreign policy as it relates to the war on terror, he is solidly democrat. It is a valid issue for voters and if they want to take him to task on that issue, that is one thing, but to claim that he has crossed over is not looking at all of the issues.

He is with Democrats on most issues, but on the most important issue of our time --neoconservatism applied to our foreign policy, yea or nay ?-- he enthusiastically supports the Administration. Because of the neocon "revolution", foreign policy is not just another issue, among many others. It has become, in my opinion, the central political issue, and will remain as such as long as our foreign policy is threatened by the radical idealism that is neoconservatism.

Foreign policy is probably the biggest issue for many Americans, like for you, and I recognized that fact. I was responding to your post saying that he has crossed over to the Republicans on most issues, which simply isn't true. For an democrat who is primarily concerned with education, health care, environment, family issues, etc., he is not a turncoat. |

I thought Democrats were the "big tent" party, tolerant of all view points and able to agreeably disagree. Hmm, I sense some disingenuousness.
