LIttle Wimp Idiot Traitor Lieberman says he is OPEN to switching parties

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Video_Lieberman_considering_support_for_GOP_0319.html

Wouldn't that be WONDERFUL for the administration....Take the Senate right back & shut down all these meddlesome investigations. I wonder what they are offering him....

Scroll down to see the nauseating look of drunken self importance and power-tripping on the lil worm's face.

He is so pathetic, it is BEYOND measure. SICK.

[Hieronymus]

1. Very true ..

and to think many of us voted for him to be Vice President.

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. I didn't vote for him to be Vice President, I voted for Gore to be president.

:hi:

[Robbien]

2. Fauxnews hires Harold Ford, Jr. as political commentator

http://www.eurweb.com/story/eur32138.cfm

Both are playing with the rabid right but the dreaded awful Lieberman is at least being open about playing footsie with the wingers.

[TornadoTN]

20. Good ole' forked toungued Harold

I'm sick and tired of Harold, who is the epitomy of DINO. During his campaign it was intersting to watch him change with the prevailing winds - but he always seemed to get his timing wrong. First off, he started out of the gate being a Democratic, saying the things that most of us here would appreciate. Then around the time of his torture vote, he shifted into full-on right winger, good Republican mode and even told stories about how Bush liked to call him "Fordie".

Both Lieberman and Ford should just go ahead and profess their love for the spotlight and the Republican party and be done with it. Believe me when I say it, they won't like it once they officially stop being the right-wings beloved shills and become one of them. At that point they will cease being useful to the right.

3. I wonder how the Dems in CT who voted for him feel about this.

I'm thinking they're probably not jumping for joy.

[Rene]

6. We didn't vote for him and we're definitel NOT jumping for joy.

Republicans voted for him. I can't stand the weasel. I'd like to call his office but I know I'd start screaming and yelling about what a fool and jerk he is. I still think it's VERY suspicious that his 2000 and 2006 oppononents got the EXACT same vote counts......477,044. What kind of coiincidence can that be.

[City Lights]

17. Do you have a link to those odd totals?

Data I've seen shows his opponent in 2000 with 448,007, and in 2006 with 450,844. I've also seen exit poll data from the 2006 race showing that 33% of Dems voted for him.

[Atman]

23. 33% Dems, 50% Independents, 70% Republicans

Don't blame the Democrats.

.

[City Lights]

30. I'm not blaming the Dems. Just wondering whether the Dems

that decided to vote for him regret doing so. I wonder the same thing about the independents who voted for him.

[Atman]

22. Do you read the news on DU, or just hang out in the lounge?

Sorry for being rude, but you're poking a stick in the eyes of almost all the Connecticut democrats, and I think I deserve the right to be rude right back at you.

If you actually read the news you'd have seen the big story yesterday about the massive amounts of money the national GOP poured into Traitor Joe's campaign after he LOST the primary. In the end, 70% of CT REPUBLICANS voted for Joe; his ultimate support among democrats was quite low.

DEMOCRATS removed Traitor Joe, remember? But he played loose with the rules, he lied to his constituency, and took boatloads of cash from the Republican party in order to hold on to his seat. Come on up here and say that to our faces! CT Democrats, for the most part, can't stand the man. What can we do when the man who claims to represent us just spits in our faces? There is no provision in CT to recall him.

[City Lights]

32. I actually can and do read, thanks.

As for the big story you mentioned yesterday, I spent the better portion of the day working and the evening into the early morning in the ER with my dad, so I missed the story you're referring to. But thanks for your condescending tone and assumptions about me.

[Atman]

34. If it hadn't been you, it would have been someone else.

As a Connecticut resident who voted OUT Joe Lieberman and worked like hell to get Ned Lamont elected, I'm just pretty damned tired of ignorant people blaming Joe on Connecticut Democrats. It was the Connecticut Republicans and now we know the national GOP as well, in a BIG way (and Traitor Joe himself, of course) who deserve the blame. Silly us...we actually tried to work within the system.

4. There is something VERY wrong with that man - VERY VERY WRONG

Another Zel Miller....

[ThomWV]

18. I Think You Are Right - Seriously

I think you are absolutly right, there is something quit clearly wrong with the man. It is possible to understand a person who has been deluded to continue to be deluded but it is not easy to understand a person who once came close to getting it right move to the wrong side. Its as if the more good information the man gets the less likely it is that he will make rational decisions. That is indeed a problem; there is something wrong with the man.

[Ino]

5. We'll take more Senate seats in 2008

so he'll be neutralized anyway. He won't switch. He's just enjoying the feeling of power, however fleeting. He has an itty bitty penis.

[dogday]

8. I say we are open to kicking his ass to the dark side...

since he has been there in spirit already, might as well let the whole world know...

[JTFrog]

9. If he

switches parties, he would no longer have any importance at all, no spotlight and his career would be over at the end of his term. He'll keep using that bluff until his wish comes true and then he'll go down as a glaring Benedict Arnold during the worst adminstration in American History.

Do you really think his ego could handle that? (he obviously has no conscience, but his ego is HUGH!!1!)

[Labors of Hercules]

27. my friend's name is Hugh, and Lieberman's ego is Huge.

sorry, my friend is getting offended at being called Lieberman's ego all the time. :rofl:

[wicket]

10. He promised before the election that he wouldn't switch parties

I'm not surprised to see him going back on that promise. He obviously has no principles, so what's stopping him?

[Atman]

26. His promises are as empty as Bush's

He says whatever he needs to in order to get what he wants. Just like W.

.

[wicket]

28. He'd be the perfect replacement for Gonzo

:evilgrin:

[bullimiami]

11. the senate is only so useful because of the fillibuster.

unless you have a bigger majority or can turn some of the other party. so the loss wouldnt be that big of a deal.
lieberman votes with them a lot anyway.

having the house is more important.

[cali]

24. Say what?

How wrong can you possibly be?


The Supreme Court
Subpoena power
Setting the agenda
Investigations

[bullimiami]

38. My point is that the difference between a tiny majority and a tiny minority in the

senate, while we hold the house, is not huge. The Supreme Court, yes. The rest of it still can be effectively done through the House.

provided, of course, that the minority holds together and wields its power effectively.
this was sabatoged by the dirty 'gang of 14' in the last senate. I wonder why the remaining members of the 'gang' no longer seem to have the same distaste for the republicans use of cloture to block the majority. What happened to the demand for up and down votes on everything?

This proves that the dems in the gang were collaberators and the repugs on the gang were double agents. It stunk then and it stinks worse now.

[demnan]

12. What am I missing

Didn't we already kick him out?

[BlueManDude]

13. He'll never switch parties - he's not useful to them as a GOPer...

the moment he switches he becomes yesterday's news. They want him to remain a Ind/Dem where he will eventually (after careful consideration no doubt) endorse John McCain for president and appear at the GOP convention.

[wtmusic]

14. Sure Joe...forgot about those Democrat millions which got you into office

and made you famous.

You sick bastard.

[WinkyDink]

16. PLEASE USE the CORRECT adjective: "Democratic".

Thank you.

[wtmusic]

37. oh please

The $millions came from Democrats. Money can't be "democratic".

Use correct English.

[Jonathan50]

39. Millions from Democrats would be correct English...

Democrat millions is not correct English.

Democratic millions would be correct English.

[wtmusic]

41. Since you want to get anal about it

you might as well be right too.

"Democrat millions" is using a noun as an adjective--a perfectly acceptable rhetorical device, as in "New York minute" or "George Bush promises".

"Democratic millions" is correct from a grammatical standpoint, but makes no sense whatsoever. Money can't be democratic.

So there. :eyes:

[WinkyDink]

15. Where is that poster who defended O'Donnell? Notice NWhora's "neutral" wording:

"Senator Joseph Lieberman, who was a Democrat vice-presidential nominee in 2000...."

[Canuckistanian]

19. Wait, I thought he said this before, then quickly bactracked

Is he starting a new round of "threats"?

Flip. Flop.

[Little Wing]

21. Bush better have a spare bedroom for him in Paraguay

[ThomWV]

25. A Rat Boards A Sinking Ship .....

[Nikki Stone1]

29. Our very own Trojan Horse...

And in for another 6 years....

[BlooInBloo]

31. 33% of CT Democrats, 54% of CT Indys, 70% of CT Republicans...

... Thanks dipshitfuckwipe Connecticut electorate.

[goforit]

33. See yah later Lieberass!!!

[npincus]

35. what an angry LITTLE man.

"little" refers to character, not stature.

[helderheid]

36. Again?

[Jonathan50]

40. It's my understanding..

That even if Lieberman were to switch parties the committees would still remain in the hands of the Democrats until the next election.

I could be wrong however.
