Is Joe Lieberman really a Democrat? - Page 3

Oh man, you got me. My state school did get me into law school however, so I don't have any complaints. Also, if you're expecting to learn politics in a classroom, you're going to be pretty inept in the field (I suspect this may describe you).

Now, back to Wisconsin, first lets start with Russ. Americans for Dem. Action voted him a perfect 100 on liberalism. On a conservative ranking of 1-100, he recieved a 12. Lets not forget his pathetic attempt at censuring Bush.

Your other senator, Herb Kohl is also a Democrat (surprise!). No kidding, he also scored a 100 on the ADA's "how bleeding heart are you?" rating.

Governor Doyle, Also a dem...

I'll give it to you, you do have 4 Republican congressmen, but I don't think you're even close to being a conservative state. At times you could perhaps describe Wisconsin as moderate, but lets be honest, its solidly blue.

For those who don't believe me, have a stroll through campus in Madison, generally thought to be among the most liberal cities in the country, and home to one of the country's more liberal public U's.

I'm on scholarship too, well, kinda. I've got the money, but I guess I'm not officially on anything until next week...a conservative law school? I don't believe it. Mine is in the south, but I don't think its close to conservative. But then, what I think is conservative is probably different from your definition.

I mean, no offense, but if Thompson is the conservative you're puttin up against people like Feingold...

Perhaps Wisconsin voters are moderate, but I think your state projects a very liberal image. I still have a tough time believing a state that would elect those two senators could really be moderate...Maybe the liberal base is just that far to the left.

[QUOTE=GeekyPenguin]Wisconsin is rabidly liberal? It went for Kerry by 1%. Rabidly liberal is Massachussetts.

Haha, I don't think "rabid" even begins to tell how liberal it is in Massachusetts. When I tell people I'm a Republican living in Boston, I get some funny looks.

After yesterday, it appears that Senator Lieberman is, in fact, an independent. Or at least hopes to be running as one.

He's definitely running as one; it's just a matter of how many Republicans and Independents he can sway for funding and support. CT has a large number of Independents; it even has had a recent Independent Governor (Lowell Weicker, best known as a Republican Senator who vocally criticized Nixon during Watergate).

He's in his 60's, and this is most likely his last chance. I guess he figures, why not?

I don't agree with Lieberman, but he's got character.

I don't agree with him sometimes -- but for different reasons I'd bet -- but he does seem to stand up for what he believes.

I guess.

Sen. Joe Lieberman has built a 17-point lead over Lamont, according to a poll taken after the debate this week.

Lieberman leads Lamont 52 percent to 35 percent (among likely voters).

This has to be a nuclear slap down of the cut and run majority in the Kerry-Pelosi-Reid ("what happens in Las Vegas is supposed to stay in Las Vegas)-Clinton Democrat party.

How about Santa's Slay? A straight-to-video movie starring former wrestler Bill Goldberg as a homocidal Santa Claus. He kills a guy with a star of David. That was kinda funny.

Wow, I didn't realize Lieberman was that far ahead. It's been the most negative race I've ever seen. The commercials are ridiculous, moreso on Lamont's side. He accuses Lieberman of everything short of being a baby-killer.
