They'd make a wonderful ticket for '08.

They would certainly make an interesting ticket. My question is: if we can't win this war in four years, how long is it going to take?

It wouldn't be the worst ticket in my opinion, but not the best. Both Lieberman and McCain are far too loose with immigration. I don't know what their stance is on gay marriage or abortion.

Sure, it's easy for you . You probably want someone who is conservative on ALL issues. It's a lot tougher for people like me to find a candidate who is acceptable. I want someone who is hawkish on foreign policy, but liberal on things like gay marriage and abortion. I understand that national security comes first and as a result, I'm not voting for someone who is a wimp on foreign policy, no matter how much I agree with them on gay marriage and abortion. But it's a pleasure to find people like Lieberman, Guliani, and to a lesser extent, McCain; men who get what it takes to protect the country, but who don't march in lock-step with the religious right on cultural issues.

Well I would have to agree with you on your points about priorities; putting national defense ahead of albeit some very important social issues. However then my questioning of McCain's position on illegal immigration has to be brought up, when he's trying to make his name as someone who's going to be viligant about national security and foreign policy. He voted Y to giving amnesty, and work visas to illegals. We have moderates like the governator of California who can now be mistaken for a liberal green peace activist. In his recent speeches he has talked about how California tax payers in his new health care plan will insure illegals, who are welcome to join, furthermore, he wants to fund 'global warming' research with tax dollars. A far cry from the speeches he gave when he was running for office for the first time talking about fiscal responsibility. McCain in my opinion, is one of those guys, who's policies are formulated based on the direction the wind is blowing. He is a moderate - which is not a conservative, anything less than conservatism is liberalism in my book
