Yep, announcing that you won’t support a supposed compromise that you yourself suggested is “standing up for principles”.
To be fair, McCain is right in that Lieberman is standing up for his primary principle of spite.

Take a moment, as the bile rises in your throat, to consider the reaction of one Rahm Emanuel to our very special Lieberman Monday. With Emanuel around, I can only envision a small set of plausible explanations for the continued existence of the CT monster.
1-Rahm is bound in titanium chains at the bottom of an underground missile silo.
2-Rahm has become a Quaker.
3-Somewhere in the Virginia countryside, there is a mass grave that dwarfs the killing fields of Kampuchea which is filled with disemboweled puppies and the corpses of bludgeoned White House Homeless Person Internship Program winners.
bludgeoned WH interns who were orphans

It is disgraceful. Even on Twitter, there’s no need for your syntax to be this awful, Senator McCain. Let me help you.
“The liberal left (subject/unnecessary adjective) / viciously attacks (verb, active voice) / Joe Lieberman (direct object/douchebag) / for his principles on health care (prepositional phrases complementary to the verb/gross misunderstanding of what constitutes a principle). What a disgrace! (interjection/self-serving bullshit).”

Lieberman is standing up for his principals, the very same principals John McCain has– mainly grandstanding on some very important issue and getting face time on TV. And then after that, making a big deal about rising above the petty partisanship of the day, wuss out and vote with the Republican Party.

bureaucrap: I actually think that both McCain and Lieberman could best be described as mamzers. A Hebrew word, it means bastard, someone whose parentage, and therefore their Jewishness, is uncertain, or has been questioned. This could have huge implications for their future marriage and acceptance in the Jewish community.
When used as an epithet, it’s a pretty bad one. Previous generations of American Jews didn’t (admit) to cursing, or at least didn’t do it in English, and you’d have to do something pretty bad to get called a mamzer.
Schmuck, schlemiel, schlmoziel, schmendrick, are pretty mild compared to mamzer.
Darkness says at 4:31 pm, December 14th, 2009

If you want to keep your reputation as pitbull without lipstick, you’ve got to fucking earn it, bitch. So get off your tush, and slap some sense into Joementum with your purported 80-pound ballsack or I will continue to call you a pussy. And you will deserve the title.

Dear WALNUTS!
You keep running an ad here in Tucson telling me I need to contact my Congressional representatives and tell them to make the liberals stop robbing Medicare. First of all, Grampa Crash Helmet, one of my three representatives is you. Are you telling me you have Alzheimer’s so bad you need ME to tell YOU to do what you’re already doing? The second one would be Jon Kyl, your troll buddy who’s even further up Joe Lieberman’s ass than you are. The third would be the far-from-liberal Gabrielle Giffords (you know, that cute lil cowgirl in the Longworth Building), who charmingly calls herself a Democrat but would stab Nancy Pelosi in the heart on national TV before she’d vote to cut a penny of Medicare. She needs to get reelected three times more often than you do and she knows who goes to the polls on election day in this state. So there’s no way she’d cross our esteemed retirees.
I can only guess what you’re doing is raking in cash from the evil lobbyists and channeling it to our four local station managers as ad-buys. Judging from the “editorials” they run, they’re your drinkin’ buddies when you’re in Pima County. So you no doubt want keep them on the hook for times you need favors from TV-land. That would be your idea of a jobs program for Arizona, wouldn’t it, you old fart?
