More quotes by Joe Lieberman

WikiLeaks' activities represent a shared threat to collective international security.
Joe Lieberman
The stronger our gun control laws are, the fewer acts of violence.
Joe Lieberman
This is the most religious country in the world and sometimes we try to stifle that fact or hide it. But the profound and ultimately most important reality is that we are not only citizens of this blessed country, we are citizens of the same awesome God.
Joe Lieberman
Community means engaging constructively with like-minded nations to build strong, sustaining institutions and alliances - and bringing emerging powers into this community so future conflict becomes less likely.
Joe Lieberman
I have a reputation for giving unpopular answers at Democratic debates. I never used marijuana. Sorry!
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
It (Lewinskygate) has...compromised his moral authority
Joe Lieberman
I've spent the last year listening to Americans, and the state of the union that George W. Bush lives in is very different from the state that most hardworking Americans are living in.
Joe Lieberman
We cannot fulfill that purpose [environmentalism] if we are heaping contempt on God's creation.
