Gore's Democratic running mate backs Republican McCain

Al Gore's 2000 Democratic vice presidential running mate Joseph Lieberman on Monday threw his support behind a Republican 2008 hopeful, John McCain, saying he would defeat "Islamist terrorism."

"I know that it is unusual for someone who is not a Republican to endorse a Republican candidate for President," Connecticut Senator Lieberman said in a statement.

"If this were an ordinary time and an ordinary election, I probably would not be here today," Liberman said in a copy of remarks he was due to deliver at an event in New Hampshire.

"But this is no ordinary time -- and this is no ordinary election -- and John McCain is no ordinary candidate."

Lieberman broke with his party over the war in Iraq, and now sits as an independent in the Senate, but normally votes with Democrats on all but national security issues.

His endorsement may not do much to help McCain with Republicans, but could strengthen the Arizona senator's hand among independent voters, who play a potentially pivotal role in the January 8 primary election in New Hampshire.

That support base helped McCain surge to victory in the state in 2000, though he eventually lost the nomination to George W. Bush.

"John McCain is the candidate who can best reunite our country and lead us to victory in the war against Islamist terrorism," Lieberman said.

Lieberman is an outspoken supporter of the war in Iraq, and like McCain backed Bush's troop surge strategy, which the United States says has made important strides in cutting sectarian violence in the country.

"In an era when politicians so often put political expediency ahead of conviction, Joe Lieberman has stood up for what he believes is in America's interest," McCain said.

"He has stood tall against the prevailing winds on national security and understands why we must succeed in Iraq and in the broader war against radical Islamic extremism."

Gore and Lieberman narrowly lost the disputed 2000 election to Bush, and the Connecticut senator mounted his own unsuccessful bid for the Democratic nomination in 2004.

McCain, once seen as the Republican front-runner, is attempting to revive his campaign, which slumped into a cash crunch earlier this year, and suffered from his positions on illegal immigration and Iraq.

Latest polls show him in a tight race for second place in the Republican field in New Hampshire, behind state front-runner Mitt Romney.

He is also competitive in another key state, South Carolina, though lags behind in polls in Iowa, which launches the state-by-state nominating process on January 3.

You know what Joe Lieberman makes me want to do?

A few words about Bush, Cheney, and the modern Republican Party:

First they stole the Presidency of the United States and then trashed the Constitution and the Bill of Rights; they ripped off the working people to give special favors to the ultra-wealthy, running the nation into massive debt and borrowing billions from China and Saudi Arabia; they deceived America into starting an illegal and immoral war in Iraq, committing international war crimes, betraying all of our military forces by sending them off to be killed and maimed for no good reason; and they twisted science to promote their agenda of short-term greed, attempting to plant confusion about global warming and other grave threats to our environment and our children's future.

Impeach the bastards

:mad: :mad:

I use to think that McCain was one of the few good Republicans. But at the time of the war in Kosovo McCain went on the air after a press conference given by Gore about the war and trashed Gore, accusing him of lying. That's when I realized that McCain was as bad as almost everyone else in his party.

Now Lieberman once again stabs Gore in the back and endoses one of the most partisan Senators in the country.

McCain's little ditty, "Bomb, bomb, bomb. Bomb, bomb Iran" should have been the last straw! I can't believe he's even running.

That's the final nail in Joe's coffin! Surely they won't re-elect him again!
But of course I said that in 2004 too...

The very odd thing is, McCain would indeed be the hardest person for a democrat to beat in the general.
But it will almost be impossible for him to win the primaries so there is nothing to worry about

He is a traitor.

And his complicity with Bush and the war should get him the same punishment when judgement day comes and if war crimes trials come.

I find and pronounce him guilty of treason in the first degree.

Not only back-stabbing Lieberman, but McCain and the rest of the rePUKElican party. I can't believe the B.S. Lieberman has pulled since the stolen 2000 election. He has turned is back on AL GORE, dissed him and I'll bet that not for one minute has Lieberman the traitor ever given thought to the fact, it was AL GORE that made him well known. Most people more than likely never even heard of him before the 2000 election. :angry:

As for Bush, Cheney and impeachment.....................

IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY..........NOW, GDTFAH. :mad: :angry: :mad: :angry:
