#3 I think Rantburg's own liberalhawk would certainly do nicely. Congratulations on your sudden fame, liberalhawk dear. May you soon get your party back from the outer wastes where currently it's wandering.

#5 Does a Liberal Hawk have the killer instinct or just a killer plumage?

#9 Lieberman may very well be the key here. Hannity had him on this afternoon and he was VERY friendly to Hannity. Sean asked him about those Donks who threw him under the bus against Lamont (Hillary, Schumer, etc.) and he said basically that it was hard not to take it personally, that he'd caucus with the Dems, BUT (look out) he intends to do a LOT of things to be independent of the Party. He even specifically said his relationship with a lot of those people has CHANGED A LOT, so I'll be watching to see if'n he's telling the truth.

#10 Since I find myself arguing with lh whenever I am motivated to actually respond, I'm with Frank: a promotion is not in order, lol.

#11 .com, I feel your pain. I don't usually argue with him, just sit back and roll my eyes. While I don't want the 'burg to be a complete echo chamber (it is good to hear the other side of the argument, especially to rip it to shreds), LH comes across as condescending to me, even if I may agree with some of his arguments. Anyways, I'm more hopeful with Lieberman, rather than our own LH.

#12 Well gents, in the party of Pelosi, Kennedy, Kerry, Boxer, and fatty Murray - LH would be a welcomed relief. I don't always agree w/him, but damn, at least he takes the time to read up on what's going on. Heckuva lot better than the current crop of gomers the dems got going.

#13 (non-PC. If you don't like it, call someone) that's like celebrating the dim among the total retards....

#14 I agree with you both - and it's why I sometimes do respond. The one thing that makes me crazy isn't when someone disagrees with my conclusion, it's when they hang onto a worldview that is so obviously obsolete that it causes pain to see someone trot it out.

But it's not fair for me to criticize him now - he never posts after about 5:30-6:00 PM Eastern, which tells you he only posts from his work PC.

Sorry, lh - mebbe I'll bushwhack you tomorrow, lol.

#20 If anyone can truly be called a winner of the 06 elections it Lieberman.

He won hands down, and doesnt owe anything to anybody for his position. And he controls hwo the vots go - if he decides he likes the Repubs on a given item, he can vote with them 50-50 and they get the VP for the tiebreaker and win it. If he stays with the Dems, they win 51-49.

And every single vote, Joe gets to name his price.

Nothing either party can do to threaten him becuase his base is strong and he showed he can even defeat a well heeled challenger backed byt he major party in CT.

Congrats Joe. You are THE winner of 06.

And folks, please note: Joe is Pro-VICTORY and he kicked "cut and run"'s ass.

#21 "*A* Liberal Hawk?
The need 20 or 30 of them who can vote against the LLL bloc.
They also need the think tanks, the publications, in short- a DEBATE on what the liberal national-security philosophy should be.
Joe Lieberman can't do it himself. He's in the wilderness.
