Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT), the former Democratic Vice Presidential candidate with Al Gore and ardent John McCain supporter, is considering a move to the GOP. According to this story from Politico, Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has approached Lieberman and discussions have taken place.

I’ve been trying to convince a few of my family members that John McCain is not really a Republican, nor a conservative.  Fortunately, he’s just proved it for me-

Adam Kokesh and other Vets talk about McCain’s abysmal voting record regarding support of veterans, but why he can’t support Obama either, because of his record on other important issues.

Lately we have heard quite a bit about Barack Obama’s “spread the wealth” comment, which has given new ammunition to the McCain campaign and its supporters in accusing Obama of being “socialist”.  As accurate as it is to describe much of Obama’s platform as socialist, to have McCain accusing Obama of supporting socialism is rather like the pot calling the kettle black.

Putting it at a level that most Americans can relate to (recurring monthly charges), this clever video brings up an interesting point.  Would this war still be going (or have ever started for that matter) if families had to write a monthly check to cover the expenses?  For that matter, what other “government services” would be quickly put to an end if voters paid for them directly instead instead of with money subtracted from their paychecks before ever reaching their checking account?
