What the heck is wrong with Joe Lieberman???

[lancdem]

I just read the latest Josh Marshall post on how Joe is looking to cut a deal with Lindsay Graham on Social Security - even while the public is turning more against privatization. Bush is on the verge of suffering a huge loss on this issue, and Joementum wants to get his nuts out of the fire? What's up with this guy? Do we have another Zell Miller on our hands? :mad:

1. No..he comes from a banking state...he's bringing home the bacon

at the expense of future retirees

[libertypirate]

2. What state are the * family from originally?

[cyclezealot]

3. I understand he represents labor interests fairly well

But other than that, maybe he is a pizz poor democrat...Remember he represents the insurance state...lots of self interest there to promote. Some sell out. others don't...Don't think Chris Dodd to be a sell out.

[GreenArrow]

4. he is beholden

to corporate interests, and his own overweening ambition.

5. Call Him. Fax Him

6. Yes Lieberman is a Rethug an opportunistic shit weasel of

a politician. He should be publicly humiliated by the party then kicked
out.

He makes me :puke: just looking at this back stabbing MF.

[GR]

7. I Think Joe Is All About Joe And to H With The Demcratic Party...

just my take

[CTLawGuy]

8. Ugh

I smell DLC all over that site.

[lancdem]

14. Are you talking about Josh Marshall???

He's one of the best progressive bloggers around. :shrug:

[CTLawGuy]

24. I was talking about seeing

Ed Kilgore of the Democratic Leadership Council "guest blogging on the website."

[expatriot]

9. Joe needs to Go. We need to primary his ass.

Paul Newman? He is, of course, who everyone is talking about... but isn't he a bit too old?

10. But first, call him and fax him

11. Doing a Gannon-induced flip-flop? JG prolly has pics & everything.

[democrat in Tallahassee]

12. I thinkhe got his MoJO hurt during the primaries; no one

voted for his jomentum

[Jacobin]

13. That question would take too long to answer

A better question to ask would be "What is right about Holy Joe"?

My answer, very very little, at least that matters.

He's just a slightly more presentable Zell.

[Nite Owl]

15. Wait a minute

No fan of Joementum but as I recall Graham's proposal was to increase the cap to 200k and the WH said no to that. Don't remember what else Gramham had in the proposal that might be bad but maybe Joe is trying to box * in on this.

[leftofthedial]

16. he's had a Zell Miller gene transplant

[Padraig18]

17. Connecticut: Banking and insurance industries.

It's called keeping the home folks happy.

[WI_DEM]

18. I wish somebody would challenge him in the primaries

[DulceDecorum]

19. You saw Bush kiss Leiberman

and you do not know why Leiberman is acting in that way?

Well,
lets see what Barry White has to say......

Oh no, babe
My darling, I can't get enough of your love babe
Yeah, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
Can't get enough of your love babe
Oh my darling, I can't get enough of your love babe
Oh babe
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
I can't get enough of your love babe
Oh babe

20. I just called and left a message and let him know that his job was on

the line and that we will raise funds to defeat him in the next election if he sells us out. Cool and calm messages will get peoples attention. I also let him know that I have numerous family members in Connecticut who will not vote for him if he cuts a deal with Bush. 1-202-224-4041. I was able to get right through to the line.

[kentuck]

21. He won't change.....

until someone challenges him...seriously.

[jn2375]

22. He makes you want to scream

[jn2375]

23. Is the WH blackmailing him?

[demgrrrll]

25. I just read an interesting comment about Lieberman possibly making

a deal to throw this Bush's way in return for the SOD job in 2 years. He could parlay that job into an ongoing cash cow with defense contractors as a consultant or board member. Maybe he just wants to poke a sharp stick in the eye of the Democratic party because no one wanted him as President and he had little or no support from the public. I wonder if anyone have any personal background on this guy and his day to day relationships with business and family members?
I would love to get some kind of a read on his motives.

[burn the bush]

26. maybe he's been photo'd as a Gannon bottom?

[SpaceBuddy008]

27. I remember this from DemDebates

he kept trying to outflank bushism on the right

He emphasized 'winning' the war

I posted "hey Joe (is he an average guy?, why doesn't he use the biblical name-Joseph?)

"hey Joe YOU CAN NO MORE WIN A WAR ..THAN YOU CAN WIN AN...EarthQuake!

heeeey Joe, where ya' goIN with 'dat gUN in your Haaand?

[independentchristian]

28. He's a Moonie...n/m
