Joe Lieberman: Republican vice-presidential candidate ‘08? 

by Optimistic Patriot

Would Joe Lieberman make a good Republican vice-presidential candidate in 2008?  He’s smart, independent, and strong on defense.  He claims to be liberal on domestic issues.  However, he’s conservative enough that the moonbats tried to dump him for Ned Lamont, and he wouldn’t be worse than Senators Snowe, Collins, or Specter.

It’s an intriguing idea, but if McCain or Guiliani win the nomination look for them to shore up the party’s base with a strong conservative pick.  President Bush picked Cheney for exactly the same reason.  Lieberman might be an interesting possibility if by some miracle we actually got a conservative like Tom Tancredo or Newt Gingrich for the top of the ticket because he’d provide a lot of balance.

Lieberman is as independent as Hilary Clinton. He talks the talk,but when it comes to voting,he follows the Democratic Party line if his vote will make the difference. If the count is close,he goes with the Party.A true “independent”,as he says he is,would not go running back to the Democratic Party after the election.On the Iraq issue,he is sort of with the President .He’s better than Chris Dodd,but that would not be hard to do.Lieberman would NEVER accept VP on the GOP ticket.Remember,in CT he ran for his Senate seat AND VP with Gore at the same time,on the same ballot. I remember he said the law didn’t forbid anyone for running for 2 different positions on the same ballot.
