Do you support Joe Lieberman?

Why are people - conservatives, republicans even – suddenly screaming “Support Joe Lieberman” … “I love Joe” etc.. ? Why? (just because he said he’ll support a GOP filibuster?)

My gut says – don’t be so quick to trust!

I mean, have people forgotten this:

He IS a registered Democrat. Do you suppose he’s prepping to switch? If so, what does that say about the man to you? I’ve never really trusted a politician who switches parties either way, because that means they’ve just let down alot of their supporters and their party and are doing a complete 180 on their beliefs and their positions on key issues. How can that be possible?

One exception in my mind is that of a young politician switching over from Democrat to Republican (or Libertarian). That just shows he’s lived, learned and gotten wiser. It’s common for young people to start out as Independent or Democrat. I did. Once they live and see what’s really going on, they switch over. Like me.

These older career politicians who’ve claimed allegiance to the Democratic party for decades, fought for the liberal way (abortion, big government etc)… is it really even possible to switch and become a true Conservative and fight for our way (pro-life, small government etc) ? My brain is going “Does not compute. Does not compute.” lol

But then again he does have the Liberals pretty ticked off so he must be doing something right.. Right? lol

I agree with you. Unless someone has a life changing experience, then why would their thought patterns suddenly change? I am grateful that he will support a Republican filibuster, but that does not make him conservative, and that does not win my undying support. And always remember, if someone is willing to forsake their party and principles once, they would probably be willing to do it again to someone else.

@FoxieNews I think Lieberman has more weight as an Independent, he should stay that way to give the rest of us a voice….lol.

Please add one more category: “I trust Joe only in matters of National Security”

Joe’s record is decidedly a tax & spend liberal one. However, he is 100% pro-USA in matters of national security.

It’s maddening to see so many liberals in power bow down to the enemy within which gives a foothold to the clear & present enemies outside this great land.
