LieberBush "will not rule out" joining GOP - live, MSNBC right now!!

[rec_report]

GOP troll, Joe LieberBush ("D"-CT), said he would 'not rule out' joining the GOP, when asked by Norah O'Donnell - MSNBC live.

:puke:

See also this mega barf alert (summary from CLG) from his biggest supporter, Hartford Courant 'reporter' David Lightman:
GOP Gave Lieberman a Boost --Money Poured In After Lieberman Primary Loss 19 Mar 2007 It's no secret that Joe LieberBush got strong support from Republicans last year, and that he has made strong overtures this year to Senate Republicans... But new data show the extent of the help he got from big GOP donors in the last weeks of his 2006 campaign, as they poured more than $1.5 million into his final pre-election push - with subtle but unmistakable help from the White House.

:puke:

[blogslut]

1. I'm pretty tired of his coy act

n/t

[Phredicles]

2. Guess in all the excitement of the last couple of weeks no one's been

paying enough attention to Joe. Dickbucket.

[Cabcere]

55. OMG.

:spray: "Dickbucket" - that's a new one to me...but ever so appropriate, methinks. :hi:

[acmavm]

3. Get going you old whore. Get it over with. Plague them and leave

us alone you dishonest lying bastard.

[Beelzebud]

4. Speaking for myself I say this: Go for it, Joe. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way.

Fuck Joe Lieberman and any "democrat" that still supports him.

[AndyA]

5. Nice. Joe Lieberman has an axe to grind with Democrats.

They didn't vote for him in the primary, so instead of taking his toys and going home like a good little Senator, he changed the way he played the game.

The Democrats in Connecticut don't have representation, just like I don't here in Oklahoma. Worse leadership would be difficult to find.

I sure wish Ned Lamont was sitting in that seat.

[kysrsoze]

54. I say promptly remove him from ALL Dem leadership positions

That should be a big enough hint to get him out of the party for good.

[helderheid]

6. What does he mean? Didn't he do that already?

[rec_report]

16. LOLOL!! Yes, it's Joe LIEberBush, "D" -CT!

BTW, I added an article link to my original post on his funding.
Polar Bear

[Cleita]

7. Wow! He's more stupid than I thought. That's like boarding

the Titanic while it's going down after hitting the iceberg. I'd say we are well rid of him. Hopefully, the next time he will run as a Republican and no one will vote for him. Buh bye, Joe.

[blm]

8. Ask Bill Clinton, is Joe in the race still an 'unmitigated blessing' for Democrats

in Connecticut?

[Beelzebud]

9. I can't believe Gore chose this dumb fuck to be his running mate...

The more I think about it, the more puzzling it is.

[KittyWampus]

14. I'm sure it was the money men behind Gore- twisting his arm.

[panader0]

24. That was a big error in judgement by Al

I wonder what he thinks now.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

10. He's just waiting until the GOP becomes conservative enough for him

and when the GOP drops the pretense of supporting democracy and openly accepts its true platform of theocracy.

[AzDar]

11. My Johnny Cochran moment: "if Lieberman's surgin', we should be purgin' "..

[zanne]

12. It's so passive-aggressive. nt

[Democrat 4 Ever]

13. I heard that. I want to reach right through the TV screen and shake

the shit out of that lame ass whiner. I didn't hear the entire interview so what was the questioning that Whora Nora felt necessary to give Liebermann the opportunity to try and blackmail the Dems again?

Go ahead, Liebermann, I dare you. You think you need to officially switch teams - go ahead. No party needs that kind of treachery within its own ranks.

[NewJeffCT]

15. He'd be useless then, no?

Didn't they adopt some rule at the beginning of the Senate that still makes Reid the majority leader?

so, he'd be the most junior member of the minority party, and with Republics having 22 seats up for re-election in 2008, vs 11 Democratic seats, he'd really be powerless when we net 3-5 seats next election.

[rec_report]

23. Well, I thought he was absof*ckinglutely *useless* since he trashed...

Bill Clinton during his bogus presidential campaign.

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Joe there is the door,

don't let it hit you where the good lord split you

[Marr]

18. I say call his bluff. The little worm's influence would evaporate the instant he

switched to the GOP, and he knows it. His relevance in the media will disappear. He'll never be elected again, either.

I say plug away with what needs to be done- Lieberman will look out for Lieberman first, as usual, and he's smart enough to know that means *not* switching to the GOP.

[Richard Steele]

30. Exactly. His only power comes from the THREAT.

Actually DOING it would relegate him to well-deserved obscurity.

[Blue_In_AK]

19. I wish he'd just go already

and stop being a prima donna. He makes me sick.

[Horse with no Name]

20. I thought he already joined?

:shrug:

[ComerPerro]

21. hope the Dems in CT who voted for him are proud

[rec_report]

29. He lied to the CT voters! He emphasized his 'Democratic' roots/ties

and de-emphasized his actual views and sentiments. The GOP-owned & operated Hartford Courant essentially 'elected' this troll. The Hartford Courant continually trashed Ned Lamont and kept referring to him as 'the millionaire businessman from Greenwich.' As if LieberBush is a *pauper?* Give me a break! :grr:

[ComerPerro]

34. lie or not, he wasn't the Dem nominee, and his record before the election was pro-Bush

[blm]

38. Bill Clinton told Connecticut Dems that Joe in the race was an 'unmitigated blessing'

for them.

Gee - why would Bill Clinton lie to Democratic voters?

[Hubert Flottz]

70. Because Poppy Bush Adopted Him...

Clinton became a Bush...Poppy became the Daddy that Billy never had!

[rec_report]

53. BTW, I am not defending the CT voters who did vote for LieberBush-

I just wanted to make the point that the GOP-owned & operated Hartford Courant did have a hand in influencing CT voters.

[Nutmegger]

80. The Hartford Courant has gone from a great newspaper to a piece of trash.

They carried the water along with the local M$M outlets. They all carried the LIES and the sheep ate it up.

[LibDemAlways]

22. The voters of CT had the opportunity to

rid their state of this fuckwad and didn't do it. They had a Democrat to vote for, but instead re-elected this turncoat. What the hell were they thinking?

[in_cog_ni_to]

25. It's an idle threat. That egomaniac isn't going to give up seniority and he CERTAINLY isn't going to

move to a party who will NEVER, EVER, EVER be in the Majority again. Lieberman isn't going anywhere and I would suggest to Harry Reid that he inform Lieberman that he needs to just PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

[WI_DEM]

36. Never be in the majority again? I'm not so sure about that.

[in_cog_ni_to]

65. Nope. Once the people find out what these fascists have done,

they will never put them in power again. That's ONLY if we get paper trails on evoting machines or vote on PAPER ONLY.:hi:

Election thefts

I'm sure there's MANY, MANY more reasons I can't think of at the moment, but lets just say when the people's eyes are open to all this...the repukes are finsished.

[JerseygirlCT]

44. I agree. He'll just make this announcement every time he feels

he's not getting sufficient attention.

Like a spoiled small child.

[Cosmocat]

64. Yeah ...

first, no surprise that Whora was the one who offered up the softball for him ...

second, I agree ... NO ONE in the republican side is going to step aside for him to get the same level of seniority, and Joe is ALL about Joe ...

IF the democrats win a few more senate seats next year, IMO, they should cut this jaggoff off at the knees ... Tell him he need to make a public declaration of his commitment to the Ds, and he needs to tow the line STAIGHT ON, or they should totally hammer his leadership spots ...

He is totally getting off on having the Ds over a barrell right now ...

[Nutmegger]

79. Not when he'll be kicked to the curb in 2008. [n\t]

[Lex]

26. He knows he's toast in Connecticut if he goes Repuke.

So he won't.

He just like f*cking with the Dems and Repubs. The attention queen.

[JerseygirlCT]

45. I think he's toast in CT, period.

In fact, he'd do better as a Republican. They're the only reason (both money and votes) that he's in office now.

[Hav]

46. .

He will be 71 (?) years old for his next election. The way he behaves, I think he won't seek another run so I guess he doesn't care at all what the Dems in CT think. He doesn't worry about having to act in a way to get elected again. He might even be the next Zell as the year his term will end, there will be presidential elections as well.


I'm glad that we have the majority in the Senate because of all the Committees but he really is an ass. Where are all his supporters who pushed him during the Primary? I've never seen them again. I'd surely like to hear what they think, now.

[Moochy]

81. They got banned or had to zip it

MrBenchley for instance, I wonder what he would say about I-CT Joe ?

[SoCalDem]

73. He's got 5 1/2 years to go on his term, he's safe and he knows it.

At his age, he may not even run again, so he's out to make a name for himself (in history). Switching would do it :grr:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

27. Must be holding out for more money.

Otherwise he would have done it already. This sanctimonious self serving pissant is looking for the big payoff.

[rec_report]

42. GREAT point!! n/t

[DU9598]

28. Kick Him Out! Then no more games ...

It's getting old Joe, just like your lies and your threats. ho humm

We will still have subpoena power in the house, so not a tremendous loss.

[rec_report]

31. Right, then an actual Democrat can serve as a pundit during those...

staged 'Left vs. Right' debates on Faux News, etc., whereupon for *years* they would have LieberBush appear as the 'Democrat.' LOL!
Polar Bear

[Amy6627]

32. As much as I despise Whore Lieberman we still need him to caucus

with us in order to keep the committees in the Dem control. Remember it's 51-49, if he makes it official that he is a repuke, it's then 50-50 and Cheney's vote puts them back in control. So we are stuck with this turncoat at least until 2008.

What I can't figure out is why the repukes have not paid him off to get him to switch?

[trumad]

41. That's incorrect...

The Senate put in a provision that disallows that until the next election.

[Amy6627]

62. I got this info from Boxer's office. I called up to ask them why they

let Lieberman be the chairman of the Home Land Security committee and they told be the scenario that was in my post.

Do you know where I can find the provision you are talking about? I would like to call her office back and give them that so they stop telling their constituents.

If you're right (and I have no reason to doubt you), why don't the Dems kick him out?

[MO_Dem]

33. Lieberman lied again!

When Norah asked him why he still supported the war when the majority of U.S. no longer does, he said we now have a new plan, new general, new troops, etc. NO! JOE! We have NO NEW TROOPS! The same tired troops are going back again for a 2nd, 3rd or 4th time!

It's really sad that we have to depend on such a dishonest, self-serving bum to keep control of Senate committees.

[catmandu57]

35. To which I say FUCK YOU, any time you feel froggy

go right the fuck on you damn traiterous bastard, you need us way more than we need a filthy piece of shit like you.

[David Zephyr]

37. He wants McCain to choose him to be VP.

But Lindsey Graham has been on his knees for so long trying to earn it from Mr. McCain that it will be interesting to see what happens.

But clearly, that is Lieberman's desire.

[rec_report]

40. Now, *that's* a mega bulimia alert!

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[WI_DEM]

39. just get rid of him now.

[LeftishBrit]

43. If he was about ten years younger...

I would have been convinced by now that he and Tony Blair were separated at birth.

I wonder what it is about Bush's arse that makes some people find it such a desirable residence?

[Catherine Vincent]

47. I wish he would switch and get it over with.

[Ian David]

48. After a couple more indictments and resignations in the senate, who would care? n/t

[onehandle]

49. A Lieberman-Proof Senate in 2008. nt

[beth9999]

50. Has anyone considered....

... starting proceedings to expel him from the Senate?

[rec_report]

66. Yes, and he needs to be 'recalled,' in CT. n/t

[onehandle]

77. That option is not available in Connecticut. nt

[mod mom]

74. I believe OH will deliver another D as we will now have fair elections!

[beth9999]

51. What do you expect...

... from someone who adopts Repug tactics and steals elections?

[Neecy]

52. again?

If he keeps threatening to leave the party, why hasn't he pulled the trigger? Empty threats leave us all yawning.

I really think this is all payback from 2004 when Liebertwit thought he was entitled to the nomination. When he was roundly 'n soundly defeated he started plotting his revenge.

I'm not sure that even the Repukes want him. He so offended John Warner a few weeks ago that it's doubtful they'd want the Liebertwit millstone around *their* necks.

[Poiuyt]

56. Remember when Lieberman PROMISED to caucus with the Democrats?

“I’ve given my word that’s what I intend to do. I am going to caucus with the Democrats.”

http://empirezone.blogs.nytimes.com/2006/10/03/i-am-going-to-caucus-with-the-democrats/

[Dr Fate]

58. You mean the DLC lies? Tell me no!!! n/t

n/t

[rec_report]

63. Right, that was just so that the little self-serving maggot could...

get more votes in the 2006 'election.'
Polar Bear

[Dr Fate]

67. And the DLC members on this board also fed that lie to us like it was sweet milk.

Add it to the list of things they were "accidentally" wrong about.

The biggest thing they got wrong being their support for & defense of Bush's invasion of Iraq.

[Dr Fate]

57. In other words, dont trust a single solitary word a DLCer on DU ever tells you.

Or a DLCer in any other media for that matter.

They all supported him, then pretended not to after the fact.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

59. He hasn't got the guts to change parties.

All he's doing is reading from the script the GOP handed him when they bought him this one last term in the Senate.

[Contrary1]

60. And no recall of Federal officials...

perhaps that needs to be changed. Those who voted for the scmuck got exactly what they deserve.
To those voters in Connecticut that didn't, I offer my condolences. Meanwhile, we all suffer.

[Justice Is Comin]

61. Pack your shit and move to the right.

You're just a wrinkled up prune faced pain in the ass on the Homeland Security Committee.

GIT the fuck out !!!!!

[Hubert Flottz]

68. Liebermouse was a republican years ago...

Let him go ahead and throw in with the BushNazis, because he's already just exactly like them.

Edit..."He's already just like them." Yes he has memory failure like libby and gonzo and reagan...and he can't remember what he promised the voters during his campaign, but he CAN remember everything that he promised Karl Rove...during the campaign.

[mudesi]

69. Let him!

He's not much of a Democrat. Since so many believe that the Democrats "don't have enough votes" to do anything anyway, why not liet this DINO cross over? At least that way when the Democrats are accused of not doing what they were voted in to do, they can point out that they don't have the majority and that it's the Republicans who are to blame.

[bridgit]

71. dude needs to pony up & freaking join the republican party, he votes with...

them anyhow way too often; stop all this two faced back & forth and have the guts to be with the party that you *want* to dance with...disgusting display of political carpetbaggery, thanks for voting for little but your political hide, your personal finances & the ability to fuck shit up, Joe :puke:

[otohara]

72. He Loves All This Attention

pathetic little man

[Elidor]

75. He's bluffing

He doesn't want to cross over to a party on it's way to permanent minority status. I can't believe anyone would take his threats seriously. This party needs to tell him to put up or shut up.

[NDP]

76. If he does, Bernie Sanders will be a Dem for two years. Still would be bad news though

[Nutmegger]

78. Good! I hope he does so we can finally rid ourselves of this jackass.

LIEberMe is nothing but a pig and a neocon repuke who needs to just switch already.

Someone came up to me the other day and said that voting for the LIARman was a mistake. Yes, thanks to this bastard and others in this fine state who ate up the LIES with a spoon, the rest of us good folk are stuck with this bloviating goon for six years. Sorry, saying that it was a mistake is a little too late. I hope those who voted for this freak have nightmares for the next six years.

As for the LIARman, as much as I would like him to switch now, he won't. He will switch when we pick up more seats in 2008 and we can finally kick the trash out to the curb.

Damn you LIEberMe.
