Israel's First Muslim Cabinet Minister,Lieberman Not Necessarily Voting Democrat In 2008

    The wingnuts must be in therapy after hearing about the Israeli government overwhelmingly approving a Muslim Cabinet minister on Sunday.

Majadele told AP Television News that his goals as a Cabinet minister would be "promoting coexistence between the two peoples inside the state, and promoting dialogue between the Palestinians and the Israelis toward negotiations and political agreement."

 Sen. Joe Lieberman was on "Fox News Sunday"  and told host Chris Wallace that he would not necessarily vote for a Democrat in the 2008 election.

WALLACE: Let's look ahead to 2008. Are there any Democrats who appear to be running at this point that you could support for president?

LIEBERMAN: Are there any Democrats who don't appear to be running at this point? Look, I've had a very political couple of years in Connecticut, and I'm stepping back for a while to concentrate on being the best senator I can be for my state and my country.

I'm also an Independent-Democrat now, and I'm going to do what most Independents and a lot of Democrats and Republicans in America do, which is to take a look at all the candidates and then in the end, regardless of party, decide who I think will be best for the future of our country.

So I'm open to supporting a Democrat, Republican or even an Independent, if there's a strong one. Stay tuned.
