Lieberman Might Back Republican in 2008

Joe Liebermann has announced that he may support a Republican for President.

"I'm going to do what most independents and a lot of Democrats and Republicans in America do, which is to take a 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," Lieberman said Sunday.

"So I'm open to supporting a Democrat, Republican or even an Independent, if there's a strong one. Stay tuned," said the three-term lawmaker who caucuses with Senate Democrats.

Well, knock me down with a feather. He's stopped even pretending to be Liberal and is now using the term "Independent" as an excuse to back even the party that he opposed for his past three terms in office.

People like Liebermann are astonishing and a great example of what fear of terrorism can do to certain people's political beliefs. Lieberman will give up any civil liberty if he feels it will make the US safer.

He is the proof that the new battle is not about left or right, it about people who are willing to give up civil liberties for a perceived increase in security.

In the words of Benjamin Franklin, "Those who would sacrifice a little liberty for a perceived increase in security, deserve neither - and will eventually lose both."
