#1 The candidate himself remembers his brush with Bush slightly differently. "I don't think he kissed me," he told Time magazine. "He leaned over, gave me a hug, and said, 'Thank you for being a patriotic American.'"

That's what really tics off the Donks -- Lieberman's a patriot.

#2 We do like him, don't we.

I can remember when we didn't like him. Guys like him and Tax and Spend Hubert Humphrey, Scoop Jackson (D-Boeing, Jack Kennedy, et al. But we didn't hate them, either. It was a respectable two party system full of patriots, not today's circus.

#3 He lost me big time back when Bush first proposed the tax breaks. He was qouted as saying (paraphrased) "He can't do that, that's our money". Typical socialist.

#8 "...a vice-presidential candidate in 2000 who, two years later, ran for President."

There's your problem. The election was FOUR years later.
