Lieberman Predicts Attack Will Come Early In Next Presidency

Lacking any cogent plan to solve America's problems or a platform of coherent policy proposals, the McCain campaign has got only a few stale acts in its repertoire. One is empty headed fear-mongering. That's the role that the GOP's aide-de-camp Joe Lieberman found himself playing on this week's Face The Nation, where he warned that al Qaeda would "test the new President early." What does that mean for Joe Lieberman? That means America needs John McCain, who will be "ready on day one" to continue the Bush administration's policies of appeasement that have allowed al Qaeda to regroup, flourish, and uhm . . . presumably plan this welcome-wagon act that Lieberman is predicting. Anyway, the joke will be on everybody else when George W. Bush crowns himself President-for-Life, thus foiling al-Qaeda's plans forever.

[WATCH.]

LIEBERMAN: We need a president who's ready to be Commander-in-Chief on day one. Senator McCain is - incidentally, Senator Clinton said that over and over again and she was right. She was ready to be president on day one. Why? Because our enemies will test the new president early. Remember that the truck bombing at the World Trade Center happened in the first year of the Clinton administration. 9/11 happened in the first year of the Bush administration. John McCain is ready to take the reins on January 20, 2009. He doesn't need any training.

I don't doubt that there probably will be an attack because who knows who's behind it. One too many Republiklans are talking about it so I expect it. George Bush and those would raise the terror alert when things got sticky for them, so in order to elect John McCain, I can see them doing something along those lines. Americans aren't afraid and they know they can't scare or distract us anymore so now a terrorist attack is all the rage. Go for it and watch it backfire, Dummies!

What a vile, disgusting pig he is.

"Treason doth never prosper. If it does, none dare call it treason."

I have never quoted Shakespeare, but this was made for Traitor Joe.

If Deputy Dawg says so....

[provgrays]

It's great that you're literate on Deputy Dog. That's a rich life you're leading there.

I certainly hope the NSA, CIA and FBI are listening 24/7 to Joe's telecommunications, because he obviously is allied with the terrorists. How else would he know their schedule?

[rasthedestroyer]

Little Joey The Sineater is at it again, why does the democratic party let this guy sit at the table with them. He's leach sucking off of the party. Some might even say he's a VAMPIRE.

Joe Lieberman .... GOD KNOWS WHAT A BAD BOY YOU HAVE BEEN!

"9/11 HAPPENED N THE FIRST YEAR OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION"

For once, Joe Lieberman tells the truth that so many in the mainstream corporate media refuse to hammer home. However, the rest of his overall premise is hogwash. Crashing several planes at taxpayer expense and getting caught by the enemy, then growing rich and fat off of lobbyist money is not a qualification for President.

HARRY REID: ARE YOU LISTENING? DUMP THIS TRADER NOW AND MAKE THE REPUBLICANS ACTUALLY FILIBUSTER EVERY SINGLE THING INSTEAD OF SIMPLY THREATENING IT!!! Lieberman has done nothing, NOTHING to advance the needs or concerns of the Democratic majority.

SENATE DEMOCRATS: REPLACE HARRY REID WITH SOMEONE WHO CAN LEAD!

HOUSE DEMOCRATS: REPLACE NANCY PELOSI WITH SOMEONE WHO CAN LEAD!

Maybe McCain is negotiating with the terrorist cells... He is certainly, and the GOP, inviting them to strike.
Who needs an intneral enemy like that.

[YellowDogInRedCounty]

That wouldn't surprise me a bit. Reagan did it in 1980.

Vote OBAMA. McBush is not what America needs. He finished at the bottom of his class. He blew missions several times. He did not get the Admiral's job in spite of his father's influence. To me that says all he knows how to do is "give orders" to BOMB, BOMB, BOMB, BOMB, BOMB IRAN. And any other country that "might be" terrorist. He has no diplomacy skills. Tell to somebody else, Joe. McCain, we honor your captivity. By the way, did post traumatic stress disorder play a part of what is now your "loose cannon" temper; Using the "F" word in the senate and cussing out your co-workers. We need to be sure. Media, get on it please. You can raise these questions without demeaning McCains service to America. This is crucial.

[FrictionSoul]

Oh brother, just another neo-con sending a message to terrorists around the world that he would like to see a terrorist attack on America so he can run around and say "I told you!"

I'm disgusted with traditional media that would even let this vile and evil stuff on the air.

[happypup]

Well, this marks the first use of Hillary's claim that McCain was better prepared than Obama. Anmtying to say, Senator Clinton?

[Heavenhelpusall]

What do the good people of CT think of your Senator? Just asking.

[functor]

These are the professional war mongers who have brought US to this end. How does the Connecticut elect this jerk?

[SwingingFromCenter]

Simple: He split the vote.

The Democrats all voted for Lamont
The Independents split between Lamont and Lieberman
The Republicans realized that there was NO WAY a Republican was going to take CT, so they went ahead and voted for the guy who (at the time) was Republican-Lite.

Course, now he's basically just a full-blown Republican.

Pretty clever of the GOP.

[DCtrain]

not cleaver, just taking the lesser of two evils from their prospective

[SmootyBooty]

Lieberman remains a Dem because he knows that the voters of CT will reject him the minute he announces he's changing parties. I blame the DNC for failing to support Ned Lamont after Lamont beat Joe's ass in the primary...
