Does Lieberman need defending as a Democrat? He has a pretty strong record. Check it out at http://www.vote-smart.org/issue_rating_category.php?can_id=S0141103 But it seems that the “Anti-War”, single issue Green Party Democrats are attempting to hi-jack this election. If they do it here, it may spell doom and gloom for the Democratic party. The unfortunate thing is not that they are divided in thoughts about the war, but the fact that they are fighting amongst themselves about whether or not a candidate is electable based upon their position on the war.

This my friends is a very precarious position to be in. With North Korea launching rockets that can reach Japan and the US, do you want a Democrat who is torn between voting to protect America, and some bullshit anti-war stances that they ran on?

Many of the rants that I have read in places like Huffington Post, call Lieberman a “Zionist”, and those writers, pen it as if it was spoken by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who regularly denies the Holocaust. To accuse Lieberman of being a neo-con zionist is in effect suporting the likes of the Iranian President.

Maybe Lieberman is a bit too hawkish for some of you folks, but maybe you need to understand where it comes from, especially if you don’t live in New York or Connecticut. They don’t live far from the 9/11 epicenter. You don’t give folks from that region a black eye and expect for them to go home crying, after all, this is the area that was part of our original 13 colonies. There is a history of fighting.

I would imagine that, as an American Jew, Senator Lieberman has met many Holocaust survivors, and understands the history and need for Israel to exist as a country, the only Democracy in the region. As new generations come about that don’t have a grasp of the situation there, and play wed morning quarterback, because they weren’t there on monday or tuesday morning, and don’t even know a soldier who faught in WWII or a victim from a concentration camp. Yet these same people claim to have all the answers. I believe that Senator Lieberman has perspective that comes with a deeper understanding of all the facts, and unfortunately that is a constant underflow of anti-semitism that exudes from the far left of the Democratic party.

Cindy Sheehan maybe unwittingly is part of the problem of spreading that anti-semitism, she’s quoted:

“You tell me the truth. You tell me that my son died for oil. You tell me that my son died to make your friends rich. You tell me my son died to spread the cancer of Pax Americana, imperialism in the Middle East. You tell me that, you don’t tell me my son died for freedom and democracy…You get America out of Iraq, you get Israel out of Palestine”

Maybe Palestine should get out of Israel, read the FACT here at FLAME.

But the biggest reason that the Democrats should be taking Lieberman’s lead is because of what Colon Powell said. Like it or not, we have the Pottery Barn deal going. You break it, you buy it! We may not like it, but we created this mess, and it is ridiculous to believe that we can merely walk away and things will be alright. The smart thing to do is come up with an improved strategy and mission plan. Congress should be brief, just to be kept in the loop by the Commanders, on what the overall plan and desires are, and we should have defined goals and milestones, so we can achieve a status where our troops CAN exit without creating a vacuum.

Lieberman’s record is one of a true Democrat, you can read it yourself! He’s got your back, maybe it’s time for the Democrats to stop stabbing him in his.
