Sam Stein reports Joe Lieberman was on Fox Noise this morning. Lieberman must be the point man for the Republican talking point on this next chapter of Bomb Bomb Bomb (fill in the blank). Of course Joe has more credibility than Hoekstra, because he is BIPARTISAN

Let's look at part of Joe's resume;
According to "Right Web; Tracking militarists who affect foreign Policy;
http://www.rightweb.irc-online.org/...
"Critics often refer to Joe Lieberman, the U.S. senator who represents Connecticut as an "Independent Democrat," as President George W. Bush's "favorite Democrat." Lieberman earned a reputation as a foreign policy hawk thanks to his outspoken support in Congress for the war in Iraq and for his consistent collaboration with neoconservative-led advocacy groups pushing for interventionist policies in the Middle East. He has also proven to be among Congress's most ardent hardliners regarding Iran."
Here is Joe calling for pre-emptive strikes on Iran in 2006
"In April 2006, Lieberman became the first prominent Democrat to announce his support for preemptive attacks against Iran to stop it from developing nuclear weapons. In an interview with the Jerusalem Post, Lieberman said that the aim of air strikes would be "to delay [the nuclear program] to deter it hoping that you set the program off course so that by the time they catch up back to where they were there's been a change in government. That's the limited objective that I would see" (April 18, 2006). "
My one disagreement with this website is calling Joe and independent he ran in "Connecticut for Lieberman Party"
Joe's alignment with his BF in war Dick (5 deferments) Cheney;

Lieberman, appearing on CBS's Face the Nation, said, "I think we've got to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq. And to me that would include a strike over the border into Iran, where we have good evidence that they have a base at which they are training these people coming back into Iraq to kill our soldiers."
So Joe you have been their point man before?
"Was that just a coincidence? Not a chance, says one Washington insider who is very familiar with Lieberman and the inner workings of the whole neoconservative demi-monde. "Lieberman is not the kind of guy who goes off on his own to make a proposal like this," says the observer. "He's very disciplined. He's a foot soldier, an integral part of the neoconservative movement."
Joe's supporters;
Let's see what the hideous irrational Glenn Beck has to say about Ol' Joe;
Take it away Glenn.
"A true neocon". He said "every-time, unless you're the troops, he'll let you down".
Let you down Glenn? So Joe picks you up when it concerns war. Concerning the everyday lives of American Citizens....meh...not so much!
Let's not forget the always "insightful" (My bad ...SNARK) Megan McCain;
http://www.thedailybeast.com/...
"Senator Lieberman’s threat to filibuster the health-care bill isn’t a betrayal of the Democratic Party, says Meghan McCain—it’s a sign of courage. And we need more of it."
You see only "hawks" and "neo-CONS" have courage.
Ah.....Joe's critics;
What say you Senator Webb about that Lieberman/Kyle amendment;
http://crooksandliars.com/...
"Sen. Webb went on the offensive today and denounced the Lieberman/Kyl amendment as warmongering and a big fat, wet kiss to the "William the Bloody" Kristol wing of the GOP---including the star of the Neocons: Dick Cheney. Lieberman is setting the stage with all his Iran amendments that have the sole purpose of bringing the US into war with Iran. This must be defeated and I implore the Democratic Party to vote this down."

Joe likes those warter-boarding jokes; Spoken like a true "pre-emtiver"
‘We had hoped Vice President Cheney would be here tonight. I hope it’s not his back injury that’s keeping him away. Apparently, he hurt it moving some things out of his office. Personally, I had no idea that waterboards were so heavy.
In Conclusion:
