I disagree with most of his positions, but he is my favorite 'wrong' guy.

He was on Hannity's radio show this afternoon.  I take no issue to anything he said.

That's one reason I respect him.  He's wrong a lot but, by golly, he says what he believes, and he's classy as all get out in doing it.

The guy is just a very likable fella.

He is the only dem I have ever voted for.  Although he was an independant when I voted for him.  Unfortunately his only strong suit is foreighn policy otherwise he leans left on everything else.  Pretty good guy though.

Oh, no doubt.  My folks and I love the guy, but we don't agree with his positions.  Pretty unique if you ask me.  No one can question his heart, no matter how wrong we think/know he is.

The guy is truly unique.

Sec of State would be good for him.  Unfortunately he would be a HUGE priority target of those nutjobs in the middle east.  Apparantly they are not fans of the Hebrews.

I don't understand all the deference towards Joe Lieberman on this site.  Exactly what positions of his besides his support for Israel do you agree with?  You guys seem to have no problem calling out other politicians for less.

He opposes his own party to the point the nominated a whack job named Ned Lamont to run instead.  He decided to run as an independant and the people of CT supported him.  He realizes now that the democratic party is not the same party anymore.  

He is very strong on national defense.  His foreign policy is good.  He supports the GWOT.

Most of his other view suck but he will be put into a cabinet position that will focus his strong point and eliminate all of his weak points.

sorry CTbuild, i caught all of your AWB posts in the CT forum but I  missed the Lieberam thread

I was not very into politics until recently. Leiberman just seems as the lesser of 2 evils and got my vote during the elections.

Am I the only person that votes for the lesser of 2 evils? In CT we dont have too much of a choice, dont you agree CT

He's a lib who happens to be completely in the tank for Israel, to the point where all other considerations are secondary to what happens to be in Israels interest.

I don't have any problem with supporting Israels interests, but that's hardly a solid basis for a cabinet position.

And yeah I think he'll be chief of staff, I called that before McCain was even the presumptive nominee and I stand by it.

Secstate maybe, can't think of any other position he'd fit very well.

This. He just admitted on tv that the Democratic party isn't what it once was. I don't agree with all of his positions but I respect him as a man. He has integrity and will stand up for what he believes at the risk of his own career. And even though I don't agree with his policies I respect (respecting someone isn't the same as supporting/agreeing with them) him as a politician as well because he goes for what is right instead of what is politically expedient.

At least he's got some common sense.

Still DEAD wrong about restrictions on the Second Amendment.

I'll give point for having the balls to go against his own party and stick to his convictions, which I happen to believe are very right as far as national security.

You had Slesinger as our Republican, he had a snowballs chance in hell.  then you had Lamont-D and Leiberman-I.  So yes it was the lesser of two evils.  Lamont is a complete move-on.org style kook.  Connecticut is very funny in the way we vote.  There are many Republicans here and we usually have Republican governers.  Yet we send a lot of Dems to the House and Senate.

right, slessinger was the right vote. but knowing that his chance was nill, leiberman got my vote.

i am finding that no politician is 100% my ideal candidate. and the candidates (if there are any) that are most in line with my ideals have no chance at being elected

ETA: I dont like giving up, but I would rather give up than to give away votes to a person that wants to restrict or take away my rights (i.e. Lamont)

There are plenty of Republicans here.  I would not be suprised if CT goes McCain in the election.  CT tends to lean left but it likes the center best of all.  Most of our politicians, on both sides, tend to be more center then far left or far right.  McCain is much closer to the center than Obama (understatement).  It will be interesting to see.

But it is evident he loves his country.  That is what makes him different than the others.

It's called playing the game  Some people will completely write a candidate off over ONE issue.  Some would rather stay home and not vote if their "perfect" candidate is not on the ballot.  In reality you have to selct the best choice available and go for it.  Anyone who doesn't vote McCain for POTUS is a fucking idiot in my opinion becasue the alternative is Barack Obama.

You know what though?  I actually TRUST Joe Lieberman.  He says what he thinks, and sticks to his guns.  He is one of the only politicians I actually trust.  I might not agree with him...but if he says, I intend to do XYZ, I won't question his integrity.  That alone is a rare commodity.  I would vote for him before McCain or Obama.

I'd MUCH prefer a man like Lieberman than Mitt Romney.  I am not kidding when I say I'd rather have Joe as president than Mitt.  Why?  Because I'd rather have an honest guy I disagree with than a shady guy who tells me what I want to hear to win my vote.

I lost a lot of respect for Joe when he was Gore's running mate, he parroted Gore's lies word for word and I said to myself "You're a better man that this Joe".   I'm glad he's redeemed himself to some degree.  He IS a better man than that.
