" "We must rise above politics and restore independence to the White House, not compromise our economic or environmental or health security for political contributors or extreme ideologues … We must rise above partisan politics and stand up for our values here at home, because family and faith and responsibility matter more than power and partisanship and privilege. … I intend to talk straight to the American people and to show them that I'm a different kind of Democrat … I will not hesitate to tell my friends when I think they're wrong and to tell my opponents when I think they're right.

Additional quotes by Joe Lieberman
The best thing we did with the Patriot Act was to sunset it. Almost 800 foreign nationals, immigrants, mostly Arab-Americans or people who looked like Arab-Americans, were arrested, put in jail, held without charges, no notification for their families and no right to counsel. That's un-American and I'll fight to end that. If we fight the terrorists who attacked us because of our liberties by compromising our liberties, shame on us.
