Ok, normally I would not have watched the video, assuming that I already know Mr. Lieberman’s opinions fairly well, but the previous comment got my curiosity up. I thought it strange that anybody would stoop that low to smear the image of a respectable Democrat politician (normally a contradiction in terms), particularly one who ran as the Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate, and held his own in a debate with Vice-President Cheany. (One of the best Vice-Presidential debates ever)
So I watched the video. And Mr. Leiberman is right. Kind of. There is a lot less of pushing for a consensus since Bob Dole (R. KS) left the Senate, one of my favorite political people. And the Dems have generally wandered over into non-rational land populated with people that I would not trust with a pointed stick, let alone the defense of our country. But I disagree with his assessment on the position of the Republican party, which used to be much more oriented to Big Business and Big Defense, and now has… I hate to use the word. Grown by the actions of Reagan and Gingrich to encompass the idea of Smaller Government, Lower Taxes, Less Regulation. I don’t view that as going farther Right. I view it as becoming better.
Score: Moonbats – 0 Tigerhawk – A whole lot more.
