Lieberman: America Needs a Leader, Not a Talker

[CrimsonWhite]

Couldn't agree more. Lesson to Democrats, don't shit on your own kind. It will come back to bite.

Barack Obama can’t dress up his record with fancy speeches, Independent Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman told the Republican National Convention audience Tuesday night in a stinging address that signaled politics was back in play after a muted start to festivities the day before.

Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential nominee just eight years ago, leaped over the partisan fence to deliver the remarks.

His very presence in St. Paul was a message to undecided voters that McCain’s appeal crosses party lines. He urged those voters directly to support his colleague in the Senate, casting him as a seasoned and principled candidate while diminishing his Democratic rival.

Lieberman spoke after President Bush and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson, who both took shots at the Democrats.

Thompson called Obama the “most liberal, most inexperienced nominee to ever run for president.”

Best quote:

“When others were silent, John McCain had the guts and the judgment to sound the alarm about the mistakes we were making in Iraq. When others wanted to retreat in defeat from the field of battle … when colleagues like Barack Obama were voting to cut off funding for American troops on the battlefield, John McCain had the courage to stand against the tide of public opinion, advocate the surge,” he said
