Joe Lieberman, Zell Miller, and Ed Koch--three 'old-time' Democrats I can really respect. They love their country more than Party.

Asked if he might vote Republican in 2008, Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2000, said, “I am, because we have so much on the line both in terms of the Islamist terrorists, who are an enemy as brutal as the fascists and communists we faced in the last century, and we have great challenges here at home to make our economy continue to produce good jobs, to deal with our crises in health care, education, immigration, energy.
“Party is important, but more important is the national interest,” he said on “Fox News Sunday.”
He said he will “look at all the candidates and then in the end, regardless of party, decide who I think will be best for the future of our country.”
“I agree more often than not with Democrats on domestic policy,” Lieberman said. “I agree more often than not with Republicans on foreign and defense policy. I’m an Independent.”
“So I’m open to supporting a Democrat, Republican or even an Independent, if there’s a strong one,” Lieberman said. “Stay tuned.” |
