I watched the Tuesday Republican convention with an open mind and was left with the following thoughts.

THE FIRST ACT OF A CONVENTION OF LIARS

Joe Liberman a traitor to the democratic party sucked up to his friend. John McCain the ultimate Republican insider during 8 years of control of the White House and control of the Supreme Court and the Congress is positioned as the ultimate hypocrite by saying he will reform himself.

Fred the actor sang his final song missing his cues.

Palin the presumptive Vice President, many issues. Tears were brought to the eyes of some, the protestors outside the convention.

I can’t wait to hear more.

THE REPUBLICANS IN THE CONVENTION IN DESPERATION ARE BLAMING THE MEDIA

The chants and finger-wagging were directed toward the sky boxes. Their target: the television networks and the rest of the "liberal mainstream media."[1]

THERE IS MUCH THE PRESUMPTIVE VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TOMORROW.

But in the meantime, questions can and should continue to be asked about how much the McCain campaign knew not only about the premarital pregnancy but about Palin's evolving position on the "bridge to nowhere," her actions regarding the firing of the state trooper who was once her brother-in-law and . . . who knows what other morsels are yet to emerge.[1]

Just what type of Governor has the Alaskan Governor been? We will see part of the answer tomorrow

HEY REPUBLICANS...WHERES THE BEEF, THIS WAS ALL MOOSE JERKY

What about the lackluster Republican Economy and the the war we should not be in and the decline of our international esteem. There has been 2.5 trillion of dollars in lost wealth in this country. Millions of homes in foreclosure. What about these issues? The failure of the Republican control of America caused these calamities. Tonight nothing was offered.

The only comment I thought was the truth was when Fred Thompson said “ Being a POW does not qualify you to be President”

Go Fred. The first decision McCain has made was to pick Sarah Palin.

Can you trust him to run your country?

More open mindedness coming tomorrow.

Stay tuned.

DEMOCRATIC OBJECTIVE:REPUDIATION OF BUSH THROUGH MCCAIN!

McCain and a final repudiation of the Bush doctrine is the real target as Democrats skirmish for the top of the ticket. The American public is not fooled. The importance of removing republicans from public office is of such importance that we want a tried and tested warrior to come out of our Democratic National Convention to take on the republicans and their Bush clone John McCain.[trb]

Senator Joe Lieberman blasted the Democratic Party yesterday as protectionist, isolationist, and hyper partisan.[b]

Judas, Benedict Arnold, spineless, fraud are my thoughts when the word Liberman is mentioned.[trb]

The message: The once noble Democratic Party has been taken over by peaceniks and radicals, who are weakening the country and threatening our security. Nearly two years after being rejected by his lifelong party in the Connecticut primary, it appears that Lieberman has only begun his effort to exact revenge. [t]

It’s the republican that have cost us 4,000 American lives and the devastation of our economy.[trb]

Speaking on ABC's "This Week," Lieberman, Independent of Connecticut, said it is not the same party that made him its vice presidential candidate in 2000.[b]

It is the same party that threw him out of the democratic party by electoral defeat in a partisan Senatorial primary.[trb]

This is Lieberman making a Republican general election argument, and it is notable for its scope. He is not just condemning his party's position on Iraq, or praising McCain, his long-time friend. He is condemning in sweeping language the very core identity of the Democratic Party as weak and extremist. This is a tried and true Republican theme, which traditionally has more to do with scaring independent voters than with actual reasoned debate of the issues.[t]

"It's not the Bill Clinton-Al Gore party, which was strong internationalists, strong on defense, pro-trade, pro-reform in our domestic government," he [McCain] said. "It's been effectively taken over by a small group on the left of the party that is protectionist, isolationist, and very, very hyperpartisan. So it pains me."[b]

Wrong, Clinton and Obama are clearly middle of the road.[trb]

Lieberman, who won reelection to the Senate as an independent after losing the 2006 Connecticut Democratic primary, still caucuses with Democrats. But he has endorsed Republican John McCain's presidential bid, and said yesterday that McCain reflects the legacy of John F. Kennedy.[b]

I knew JFK and McCain is no JFK. And Liberman is not a leader, just a sold out has been.[trb]

Lieberman joins his fellow neoconservatives in pushing for a continuation of the Bush Doctrine.[t] McCain is more... more... more of the catastrophic Bush doctrine:[t]

BUSHIES RALLY AROUND LIBERMAN

"Randy Scheunemann is McCain's new defense and foreign policy adviser. He is a former adviser to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. He was President of the pre-war Committee for the Liberation of Iraq to oust Saddam Hussein.[t]


"Steve Schmidt, is McCain's high powered new political strategist. He worked on Bush's 2004 campaign and was Bush's attack dog whenever former Presidential candidate John Kerry criticized the Iraq War policy. They join other neocons on McCain's campaign like former CIA director James Woolsey.[t]

"[James] Woolsey helped direct US attention toward Iraq after 9/11 when on the next day he falsely accused the Iraqi Government of having a role in it.[t]

"Joining Scheunemann, a veteran neoconservative strategist and one of the chief architects of the Iraq War, are a panoply of like-minded neocons who've gathered to advise McCain, including Bill Kristol, Robert Kagan, Max Boot, Gary Schmitt and Maj. Ralph Peters."[t]

MCCAIN IS NOT A REFORMER...HE IS A BUSH CLONE.

McCain, he said, is "a reformer, somebody who understands ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country and remembers the other part of the Kennedy inaugural, which said that we will bear any burden, pay any price to assure the survival and sustenance of liberty. That's John McCain."[b]

Lieberman says he believes McCain will be able to win he support of a majority of independents and a lot of moderate Democrats. [n]

Lieberman has told reporters that he will speak at the Republican National Convention if McCain asks, but has ruled out sharing the 2008GOP ticket with McCain. [n]

LIBERMAN WANTS , LIKE BUSH AND MCCAIN, TO START ANOTHER WAR IN IRAN.

Lieberman also blasted Senator Barack Obama for voting against a resolution to label the Iranian Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist group and gave Clinton credit for supporting it. [b]

I'm not sure that McCain could come up with a less effective advocate that Lieberman. Lieberman's supporters are The Corner and their ilk. As a Democrat I hope he is out campaigning everyday for McCain.[t]

"Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) doesn't think Gen. Petraeus has enough war on his hands. The senator (changing the subject from Iraq with "I want to go to Iran...") asked Petraeus if he wanted "the authority" from Congress to "pursue the Qods forces into Iranian territory." Petraeus, for some reason, politely declined to start a third contemporaneous U.S. war."[t]

A staunch supporter of the Iraq war, Lieberman recently traveled to Baghdad with McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina. Though he commended Hillary Clinton for her vote on declaring the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist group, he slammed both Democratic presidential candidates on their foreign policy positions.[n]

Lieberman has been drinking the neocon koolaid for several years now. Even his hometown paper has disavowed Neocon Joe[t]
