I saw on TV last night the acceptance speech of Joe Lieberman. To echo his words. I liked his rhetoric... but I wish he would also change his policies. I liked Mr. Leiberman so much that I think, just as they should have picked Lloyd Benson as the front-runner in 1988 instead of the wooden Mr. Dukakis, the Dems should put Lieberman at the head of the ticket instead of the wooden Mr. Gore. As you know if you read my page, I wouldn't vote for either man. They both want to steal my money and use it to control my life. Same with Bush and Cheney. I'll control my own life, thank you very much.
