During the 2008 presidential campaign, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) supported Republican John McCain and attacked then-candidate Obama while speaking at the Republican National Committee. Though he currently caucuses with Democrats in the Senate, Lieberman has repeatedly stated that he views running for re-election in 2012 as an option.

In an interview on Connecticut’s Face The State program this weekend, Lieberman once again said that it was “possible” he could run for re-election as a Republican. Noting that “it would be harder, to be honest, to get the nomination in the Democratic party,” Lieberman said that while he is “most likely” to remain an independent, he could see himself as a Republican:

HOST: Could you see yourself being a Republican or is that…

LIEBERMAN: It’s possible.

HOST:…far-fetched.

LIEBERMAN: Yeah, yeah. No, it’s possible. A good old-fashioned New England moderate Republican.

This guy has been a republican all along, No surprise.

[Autumn]

1. Yeah, yeah. No, it’s possible,

you are just a good old-fashioned piece of shit.

[begin_within]

2. Delete everything from "good" to "moderate" and you'll be much more accurate.

[madmax]

3. It's impossible that

you can be an even bigger asshole than you already are. Ya Putz!

[FrenchieCat]

4. he should go then.

[The_Casual_Observer]

5. I wish that bastard would swallow a good old fashioned razor blade.

[donheld]

6. And still he keeps his Chairmanship?

:grr::grr::grr:

[Ganja Ninja]

24. Yeah WTF? n/t

[Kall]

7. The bridge to running as a Democrat isn't burned, you say?

Oh it's burned, trust me.

[Bitwit1234]

8. Liberman will never be a good anything except maybe

a good old piece of s**t.

[ashling]

9. When the interview was over he said to the host

It's possible ... very likely, actually ... that I'm just an old fashioned shit eating asswipe

[tomm2thumbs]

11. +1

and to think he uses oxygen that might be put to good use by any other of God's creatures - like sloths, slugs or bottom-feeding fish

[ashling]

16. Go figure?

[Bleacher Creature]

10. Glad it's that easy for him to change allegiances.

The guy isn't a Democrat and he also isn't a Republican. He really is only in it for himself.

[GiveMeFreedom]

13. true

What you said. He's also in it for the corporations he represents. Fucking piece of shit, worst kind of politician there is.

[Guilded Lilly]

12. "Yeah yeah, no no...

That about sums it up for this putz.

Can't make up your mind until you see where you will have more presumed POWER when you land?

[JohnnyHardhat]

14. Ed Schultz to Joe: "You Are Full Of Sh*t!"

and lost your base a long, long time ago. Republicans don't want or trust you either. Just F*ck Off already!

[w4rma]

15. Do it then, jerk! (nt)

[winyanstaz]

17. It's highly possible he is also something I stepped in out in the yard......

He has always been a republican...look at what he does..not what he says.

[Duke Newcombe]

18. Someone remind me again why this tool still has committee leadership positions? n/t

[mmarsh]

19. In 2013 you might be a Moderate Republican, but you will NOT be a US senator from anymore. Your

backstabbing of the DNC will not be forgotten, and dont count on the farright wingnuts to help you either. They are going to put another nutcase on the ticket. Start writing your book "how I backstabbed my own party". You are done.

[DFW]

20. I could see Lieberman having five fingers on each hand, too.

Oh, wait.........

[Jakes Progress]

21. Why are people so interested in what comes out of an asshole? nt

[spicegal]

22. Gee Joe, what a surprise. Tell us something we don't know. What are you waiting for?

[Billsmile]

23. New England???

Hey Joe, since you're an old fashioned New England style politician, when are you going to hold one of those old fashioned town hall events???

I've been waiting years to have a little face time with ya but you never seen to be in the area.

[The Wizard]

25. Now that a 60 vote majority

is off the table, Holy Joe has lost quite a bit of leverage. He's loved by Republicans and hated by Democrats and votes against all substantial Democratic proposals. He already is a Republican disguised as a Democrat because it gives him the power to hold the Democratic Party and the nation hostage.
Since he no longer provides the 60th vote, it's time to pink slip Joe, and move his Senate office to a broom closet.

[sulphurdunn]

26. Lieberman would become a Moslem

if he thought it would keep him in the Senate.

[Jefferson23]

27. I live in Connecticut, and this guy HAS BEEN a fucking Republican for a long time.

[projective]

28. no

you're a crook

[Faryn Balyncd]

29. You're no Margaret Chase Smith, Joe........

(Some of us prob'ly knew Margaret Chase Smith. . . .)




......(As a matter of fact, Joe, you're not even an Arlen Specter.)

[hmorehead]

30. Nah. Yer just a garden variety whore.
