COMMENTS:
Well lets see how he is on the issues: ABORTION: Repeal the Bush restrictions on stem cell research. Keep abortion safe, rare and legal; with 24-week viability. FDA’s RU-486 decision stands; it’s made properly by experts. Leave abortion decision to a woman, her doctor, and her god. Rejected partial-birth ban since it ignored maternal health. Supports abortion rights within his faith, not despite it. Parental consent with judicial override. CIVIL RIGHTS: Flag burning is abhorrent, but not a constitutional issue. Allow driver's license for (illegal) immigrants. Marched with Martin Luther King in 1963 (must keep dream alive). Marched with MLK, fought for voting rights in Mississippi. Opposes laws against gay sex & sodomy; focus on real crime. Support Equal Pay Act for women; plus loans & lawsuits. Equalize pay for women. Supports affirmative action. Expand “Hate Crimes” to include women, gays, and disabled. Voted NO on recommending Constitutional ban on flag desecration. Voted NO on constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. Voted YES on adding sexual orientation to definition of hate crimes. CORPORATE WORLD: Foxes guard the foxes & middle-class hens get plucked. Voted YES on repealing tax subsidy for companies which move US jobs offshore.
CRIME: Invest in rehabilitation, not prisons. Focus on victim’s rights and on expediting procedures. ENVIRONMENT, OIL, and ENERGY: Raise CAFE standard from 27.5 mpg to 40, including SUVs. Support Alaskan Natural Gas Pipeline; opposes drilling ANWR. Incentives for business to reduce greenhouse emissions. Advocates for robust environmental protections. Strengthen Clean Air Act and Clean Energy Act. Invest $2.5B in open space preservation.
FOREIGN POLICY: Adopt an international Marshall Plan for the Muslim world. Preemptive war policy is foolish and provokes the world. Wants two-state solution in Middle East without terrorism. TAXES: Tax the richest 2% to pay for a tax cut to the other 98% Voted YES on increasing tax deductions for college tuition. Yeah... he is a closeted republican. Sure wish many other Democrats were as liberal as he is. Republicans are deserting their own because he has no chance of winning and is accused of being a cheater in casinos.
Lieberman is a Bush enabler who is out for himself first. If he had *any* affinity to the Democratic party, he wouldn't be on his current course.
Voted : No, Joe is a true, blue Democrat
Just of the Yellow Dog variety. But we shouldn't scoff at this. It means that true partisanship is alive and well in our political system.
Voted : No, Joe is a true, blue Democrat
Joe Lieberman voted 90% of the time with the Democrats in Congress how can anybody say he is a Republican?Maybe he is not a socialist-lite politician like Ho Chi Clinton or Howard Dean but he is not a Republican.
Sure. He is better than some of the Repubs on the issue that matters to me. But mostly he is a liberal scumbag like the rest of the democrats.
