Ugh, WHY does Joe Lieberman continually call himself only 'Joe'?

[Sean Reynolds]

Go look at his site, everything is Joe. Joe does this, Joe does that. My god, it sounds so, desperate. I mean go to the Dean site, do you see Howard does this, Howard does that? Or either John Kerry or John Edwards; John does this, John does that. Even Dennis Kucinich, a person with a wack last name, doesn't say Dennis does this, Dennis does that.

C'mon Lieberman, stop acting 'hip'.

[pruner]

1. he's referred to as Joseph at this site

2. Ugh, WHY do Lieberman bashers waste their time on trivial subjects?

[Sean Reynolds]

4. Because it's too easy?

I mean he opens his mouth and out comes everything liberals stand against.

[Ediacara]

6. They want you to waste your time defending him

rather than something constructive, like oh, helping the dems who have a chance...

[JohnKleeb]

3. Kucinich isnt a wack last name

Youre just stuck with a relatively WASPy name and youre jealous ;). Heh seriously though it aint wack, you should see some of the names in my family tree on my mom's side, then we talk heh. I think youre right, Lieberman is trying to act hip heh but I could care less.

[Sean Reynolds]

5. Never, EVER met a Kucinich.....

It's a wack name compared to the typical last names you hear. :)

[JohnKleeb]

8. yeah thats because I doubt many Croats live out your way

Ya frigging Anglo Saxon you ;).

[Sean Reynolds]

11. Typical Salt Lake name now-a-days is Martinez!

;-)

[JohnKleeb]

15. Hispanic Mormons yeah right buddy

:) and my mom's maiden name is Stalin ;).

[Forkboy]

16. How is Mama Joe these days anyways?

:D

[Sean Reynolds]

17. We don't have many Mormons in Salt Lake City anymore.

In fact the second largest religion in the city is NONE, which I find funny as hell. The Mormons are leaving because the city is becoming too liberal for their liking.

[JohnKleeb]

18. Ironic eh

Seriously if you think Kucinich is kooky, you gotta see some of the names in my family, and they are Ellis Islandized!. I dont know any off hand btw but if ya saw em, you would tell me to go back to the old country ;), heh thats neat I have 4.

7. Have you seen this:

It's El Serpente's sig line. I think it summs up Lieberman well.

9. Remember Joe-vember!

Remember his Fantastic Joe-vember email? Why bother with Lieberman bashing, he is hardly different than Dean or Clark on 90% of the issues. I'm pretty disgusted at his bashing of the candidates and Democratic party in general bashing of late however.

A super liberal Democratic friend of mine said Lieberman's commercial was BY FAR THE BEST, since he included specifics about his platform (and didn't show himself talking too much :) )

For me personally, I loved Sharptons "Alter Call" for the non-registered. Truly inspired!

10. there have been two "Joe-vembers to remember" so far

the first was the September "Joe-vember"…

which was followed by the November "Joe-vember".

:crazy:

[Jonte_1979]

12. you gotta be kidding

Or maybe I should say "you gotta be Joe-king"?

[hlthe2b]

13. Because he assumes the "HOLY" is a given..........

his weak effort at humility.....

[cliss]

14. I think Joe is a great asset

to the Democrats. We should definitely keep him around. I'd say he has comedy value, much like a Court Jester from the Middle Ages who kept the king amused.

I noticed, though, that he's not too popular here at the DU, where it's hard to fool people. Seems that the cynical regulars can smell a phony about as quickly as a pile of dog crap on the sidewalk.

And why does he still consider himself a democratic presidential candidate? Does he actually go out on fund-raising speeches and all that stuff? I mean, he's actually spending time convincing people to vote for him.

I think he's secretly working for the Republicans. They asked him to hang in there until next November (even though it's humiliating). They've promised to pay him 50 cents for each vote, just to divert votes from the leading candidate. Who knows? Stranger things have happened.
