Lieberman said it himself... there was no need to quote him. It shows a lack of confidence with virtually no upside.

And... I don't need a lecture on the war.

Let me put it another way: Is it bigger news that Lieberman said that or that Bush brought up the fact that Lieberman said it? It effectively killed the message.

Yes it did. It happened about a few minutes after they signed the Document in 1789.

At least we don't resort to dueling any longer. (not sure if that's good or bad in some instances)

so.....let me see if I understand this.  It's perfectly correct for the democrats to quote people like mccain and specter but it is unacceptable for the bush administration to quote democrats?  do I have that correct?

I'm not lecturing you on the war I trying to say in a not so simple way that what leiberman said is valid in the debate.  The fact that he's not playing politics on Iraq shows great credit to him (from me) and probably give's his statement a little more weight.  Eiteher way I'm glad he's at least promoting the truth instead of an agenda.  It's too bad his party is going to burn him for it.

Perhaps Leiberman is thinking of switching parties and making a run at the Presidency as a moderate republican.

Or perhaps He's thinking as running as a third party candidate.

Orrr perhaps H'es just thinking of switching parties.


orrrrr Perhaps he's just saying what he see's and the Dems just dont like what he sees
