More quotes by Joe Lieberman
I believe that our national security lies not just in protecting our borders, but in bridging divides.
Joe Lieberman
I'm a Harry Truman, JFK, Scoop Jackson and Bill Clinton Democrat.
Joe Lieberman
Dear Mr. President: ... We urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraq sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.
Joe Lieberman
We must not condemn to frustration those whose job it is to protect us by failing to provide them with the necessary resources to meet the threats they face.
Joe Lieberman
I also urge the Obama administration - both on its own and in cooperation with other responsible governments around the world - to use all legal means necessary to shut down WikiLeaks before it can do more damage by releasing additional cables. WikiLeaks' activities represent a shared threat to collective international security.
Joe Lieberman
The anti-tax-cut, soft-on-defense, big-spending Democrats will take the Democratic Party to the edge and maybe over.
Joe Lieberman
The stronger our gun control laws are, the fewer acts of violence.
Joe Lieberman
I share the anger, but, ultimately, to govern this country, it takes more than anger. It takes experience. It takes positions that reflect the best values of the American people.
Joe Lieberman
Wes Clark put forward a middle-class tax plan, but it only helps a quarter of middle-class families, none without minor children at home. And mine helps 98 percent of the middle class.
Joe Lieberman
I mean, accidents happen. You learn from them and you try to make sure they don't happen again.
Joe Lieberman
Let us break through some of the inhibitions that have existed to talk together across the flimsy line of separation of faith: to talk together, to study together, to pray together and ultimately to sing together His Holy name.
Joe Lieberman
Shame on us if 100 years from now our grandchildren are living on a planet that has been irreparably damaged by Global Warming, and they ask, 'How could those who came before us, who saw this coming, have let this happen?'
Joe Lieberman
I'm worried that too many people, both in politics and out, don't appreciate the seriousness of the threat to American security and the evil of the enemy that faces us -more evil or as evil as Nazism and probably more dangerous than the Soviet communists we fought during the long Cold War.
Joe Lieberman
Today, we can see with our own eyes what global warming is doing. In that context it becomes truly irresponsible, if not immoral, for us not to do something.
Joe Lieberman
I also know that there have been many times in our history when the proximity of an election has induced exactly the kind of leadership and consensus-building that produce progress in our democracy.
Joe Lieberman
Every day, first responders put their own lives on the line to ensure our safety. The least we can do is make sure they have the tools to protect and serve their communities.
Joe Lieberman
It (Lewinskygate) has...compromised his moral authority
Joe Lieberman
[Religion is a way of reconstructing] what has come to feel like a crumbling moral framework in the life of our nation.
Joe Lieberman
I miss the days when faith was discussed in public and not the most intimate details of our personal lives.
Joe Lieberman
The threat of nuclear terrorism is growing faster than our ability to prevent an attack on our homeland.
