Some say that
Democrats In Name Only are an extinct, or even a mythical species. But
I believe they exist.
The Dems are so kooked-out now, one would not have to be truly 100, or even 50 percent Conservative to qualify as a
DINO. But even if they didn't exist, I would have to give Joe Lieberman an honorable mention. I even say,
Thank God for Joe Lieberman, even though I know that he votes with the Democrats most of the time.
In fact, Joe actually has been
labelled by his own as a DINO.
Compared to his peers, he has fairly frequenty sided with Republicans on key issues, like the war in Iraq and Free Trade. Lieberman also declared himself a "non combatant" in the 2006 congressional races and refused to say which party should have the majority. The Bush White House and Karl Rove openly lent him support, winning him a vast majority of Republican votes and the election. http://snipurl.com/bo7ss
He created quite a stir
when he spoke at The RNC last year.
And, he "launched consistent, deeply partisan
attacks on President-elect Barack Obama, questioning his patriotism and fitness to lead." He also stated that it was a "good question" to inquire whether
Obama is a Marxist.
Yes, Joe has been a thorn in the Democratic Party's side. I have to chuckle whenever I read one of their
tirades against him.
And let's not forget Zell Miller, who actually gave the
Keynote Address at the 2004 Republican National Convention, where he derided the Democrats' "manic obsession to bring down our Commander-in-Chief."
Since the Inauguaration, one thing is certain. I'm sure feelin' a whole lot more love for these guys than the RINOs.
