We knew Senator Joe Lieberman would pay a price for speaking at the 2008 GOP Convention a few mights ago.
Lieberman, while still a liberal in most areas, nevertheless has enough intellectual honesty and love of country to part ways with the Democrat Party when it comes to protecting American security and credibility.
This one area of departure with his party cost him his party's support in the 2006 primary, leading Lieberman to run in the general election as an independent. He subsequently won that general election.
CNS News reports the hammer is now about to fall for Lieberman's support of John McCain--the only presidential candidate who can be trusted with U.S. national security and credibility:
"Lieberman went too far when he distorted Sen. Obama's record," said Reid spokesman Jim Manley. "From Reid's perspective, (Lieberman) has every right to give a partisan speech to whomever he wants. But he doesn't have the right to distort Sen. Obama's record like that. Sen. Reid was very disappointed in Lieberman's speech."
No, what he means is, "Lieberman went to far when he confirmed Senator Obama's record."
What is the truth Lieberman revealed that Democrats have been trying to hide about Obama?
When others wanted to retreat in defeat from the field of battle, when Barack Obama was voting to cut off funding for our troops on the ground, John McCain had the courage to stand against the tide of public opinion and support the surge, and because of that, today, our troops are at last beginning to come home, not in failure, but in honor!
Indeed!
We may not agree on much, Senator Lieberman, but thank you for your dedication to our nation's security and to our troops! And thank you for the sacrifice you made in speaking at the GOP Convention.
