Lieberman urges Dems to alter their ways

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Sen. Joe Lieberman, running as an independent after losing the Democratic primary, said Tuesday he hoped Democrats seize control of Congress — with one caveat: a Democratic-led Congress, he said, must change its ways.

"It won't represent progress that's real," Lieberman told reporters while stopping at a transportation forum in New Haven. "It's not going to be much of a step forward if there's a new Democratic leadership that doesn't change the tone in Washington."

As recently as Friday, Lieberman, a lifelong Democrat who was his party's nominee for vice president in 2000, would not say whether he thinks the nation would be better off with the Democrats in control of Congress.

Democrats must gain 15 House seats and six Senate seats to win control of Congress. Lieberman has said he would remain a member of the Democratic caucus if he wins on Nov. 7.

[saigon68]

I'm so sick of this tired old windbag. He needs to change his ways - stop acting like a Republican. Good gawd I cannot stand that man.

[truebrit71]

3. FUCK YOU JOE!!!

"Change the tone?" How about FUCK CHANGE, PAYBACK IS A BITCH ASSWIPE, OR DIDN'T YOUR LOSS IN THE PRIMARY REGISTER WITH YOU YET?

[hlthe2b]

4. Would someone please just...

SLAP him silly?



(no real harm, Agent Mike.... just enough to exhaust all atempts to knock some sense in him :eyes:)

[Double T]

5. 'We're' changing our ways Joe; 'we're' NOT letting rethugs........

like yourself pretend to be Democrats ANYMORE!! Go kiss 'shrubs' ass!!

[jackbourassa]

6. I urge Joe Lieberman to go fuck himself!

n/t

[AzDar]

7. Don't know where to begin...."wouldn't say whether he thinks the

nation would be better off with Dems in control", pretty much wraps it up nicely for Joedus Iscariot don'tcha think?
Please, good citizens of Connecticut, lance this boil on Democracy's ass in November.

[blm]

8. Why all the bipartisan BS from Baker, Clinton, Hamilton, and Lieberman?

Sheesh - bipartisanship is used AGAINST Democrats and FOR Republicans every time it becomes an issue.

Jim Baker, Poppy Bush, Bill Clinton, Lee Hamilton and Joe Lieberman can form their own circle jerk and play cover each other's ass all day long - and leave my country alone.

[gully]

12. Republicans haven't even let us vote on various bills and LIEberman

is lecturing DEMS on "progress?!" I have defended Lieberman here in the past, never again.

[nashville_brook]

17. SPOT ON!

[bluedeminredstate]

47. I never thought I'd agree

with everyone one that list, but I am so sick of this shit. WTF is with Clinton? Everytime I see him in the Bush family orbit
I want to :puke:! Why aren't the pukes ever encouraged to be "bi-partisan"??? Is it because any and every criticism or disagreement of Bush's policy is seen as partisanship? Bet your ass it is! The pukes were soooooooo much worse to Clinton and I never heard talk about "Clinton Hate" and obstructionism. I can't wrap my head around why Clinton is doing this. Everyone else on
your list - yeah, could have seen that coming - but Bubba? That hurts.

:cry:

[blm]

48. He's been doing it for years, and he knows by now it only helps GOPs, yet

he STILL does it.

[bluedeminredstate]

49. Why does he do it?

I've read many of your posts and I think you know what you're talking about. I know you respect and admire Kerry :), which is a huge plus in my book...so what's your take on this Clinton nonsense?

One more question: Do I remember correctly that you live in NH - maybe even in the outlet capital of the north? It's my home state and I miss it so now that I'm southern living.

[blm]

50. I'm in NC now.

But born in Ohio, with most adult years living in NYC and LA.

I Really think Clinton got coopted long ago by Poppy playing on Clinton's naivete and eagerness to do well..... so, when Clinton took office, Poppy convinced him to not pursue all the outstanding matters in IranContra, BCCI and Iraqgate because of national security and the economy, so Clinton agreed......and that single decision made Clinton part of the coverup, even though I doubt Poppy sold it that way. Then Clinton also covered up CIA drugrunning story when it hit in 95 - what else could he do - at that point he made his bed with Poppy.

I think they need Hillary to get in and do the same for Bush2.

Neither Clinton or Bush needs Kerry in the WH opening the books. The American citizenry, on the other hand, NEEDS truth for a change. Its the citizens who suffer the blowback from all the covert operations done in their names - - 3000 of them on 9-11. Now Iraq. All to keep secrets of what's really been going on for the last 40 plus years - especially the last twenty.

[bluedeminredstate]

51. Interesting.

Not intentionally manevolent, but the consequences are the same...

BTW, I'm one state north of you. Right up 95...

[rodeodance]

9. I just heard manure was linked to the E. coli outbreak.

[fooj]

10. How about this for "tone"?

Get the hell out of our party you traitorous SOB. Hey Joe, you LOST the primary. Nobody likes or respects a sore loser. One wonders what the crazy bastard will do if (WHEN) he loses in November. Asshole.

[gully]

11. Echoing what others have said FUK U LIEBERMAN! Why haven't

you encouraged the REPUBLICANS to "CHANGE THE TONE" you !#% SOB!

Man, I hope he loses his ass in November.

[grytpype]

13. Hey Joe

[cybildisobedience]

14. This is how he will justify switching parties, if he stays in.

He'll say that he wants to work in a bipartisan manor, and it's the Dems' fault that we have such a bitter divide.
What a jerk - a sancitmonious, hypocritical, projecting, and self-serving jerk.

[wordpix]

29. he's ALREADY switched parties & his allegiance to the repukes. Sad

:grr:

[SpiralHawk]

15. GigaFuuuukYous to Joe republicon crony

You weasel you...

[yellowcanine]

16. Was someone asking you Joe? I didn't think so. An incumbent

who could not manage to win his own party's nomination might want to listen, not give advice, Joe. Just a suggestion.

[Warpy]

18. Hey, Joe, when you think you're sane and reasonable

and everybody else is crazy and unreasonable, it's not them, it's YOU.

Just sayin.

[truthisfreedom]

19. how did this guy ever end up as a vice presidential candidate?

is he part of some grand gop plot?

[Rocknrule]

26. I wondered the same thing

Could he have been a GOP plant to screw Gore over?

[apnu]

20. "change the tone in washington"

Isn't that the exact same thing that the Bush/Cheney 2000 campaign said at each and every stop? What the hell Joe, why not just lift whole speaches from the Chimp?

Wow, what a jackass.

[Ediacara]

21. WHO THE FUCK IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TONE JACKASS!!??

I'll give you a hint

You know and I know Joe, it sure as fuck isn't us.

[kurth]

22. DEMOCRATS must change their ways??????????

WTF. Time to go, Joe.

[AlCzervik]

23. like endorsing Bolton's nomination? Lieberman, bad for CT, bad for America

[lyonn]

24. Lieberman is definitely lacking in gray matter, like bush

The Repubs are about to take a tumble and Lieb continues to act like he will get a Good Job from bush baby? Has he been assured by the more powerful Dems in D.C. that they will still love him if he can get that Conn. vote? Lamont's a wild card no doubt. They know Joe.

Does Lamont need better advisor for the final stretch?

[AX10]

25. Lieberman is Repub-Lite.

He does not want real progressives in power.

[Oceansaway]

27. FUJL....n/t

[rayofreason]

28. Lieberman will win...

...but I doubt that many Democrats in congress will follow his path.

[wordpix]

30. he is trying to be the uniter but may end up being the man without

a country if he wins as an indie.

[Zhade]

73. Advocating for lieberman is against DU rules.

NT!

[delete_bush]

31. he hopes Democrats seize control of Congress,

I guess he's voting for Lamont?

[OHdem10]

32. Some people never learn??

It is this lecturing or sermonizing other Democrats that
created Lieberman's problem in the first place.

[screenplaya]

33. Nice Play Action Pass Joe

Fake Dem.

[robertpaulsen]

34. "Lifelong Democrat"?! Guess Joementum officially died this summer.

Dear Deserter,

You had a choice between staying true to your party and accepting defeat this past August, or deserting the choice of your party's primary for the potential of personal gain. You made the latter choice. So be it. Get over it. Because most of "your" party has already gotten over you.

Enjoy your cut and run, you selfish bastard!

[NOLADEM]

35. FUCK YOU JOE

Fuck this turn coat piece of shit.

Benedict Arnold, go fuck yourself.

[high density]

36. Umm, Joe, that's not OUR tone

That's the GOP tone... You do know what party is actually in charge in Washington at the moment, right?

[Ishoutandscream2]

38. He opens his mouth, and my hate for him intensifies

[PurityOfEssence]

39. Solemn requests for "reality" from a fundamentalist orthodox quisling

Godsuckers and moralist pantywaists are just fine if they advance their own agendas, but when they lash out at others while demanding the mantle of spiritual superiority, they cross the line.

Mercifully, he'll probably caucus with the Dems if elected, but he's a very complex problem. He'll destroy the entire human race if he can secure Israel's future, and he'll turn a blind or plucked out eye toward any of Israel's abuses and do so as a priority. His prissy demand of censorship is tiresome. His opportunistic trashing of Clinton at a pivotal moment was shameful, and Gore's attempt to distance himself from Clinton by bringing Holy Joe onto the ticket showed both Lieberman's unprincipled lust for power and Gore's cluelessness.

He's also a tool of the insurance industry and almost singlehandedly derailed any investigation of the Enron greedfest at an important crossroads in the beginning of Junior's administration.

Having said all that, though, the guy's been a real champion of workers' rights and social progress. Anyone who wants to paint him as simplistic is simplistic, but with that oddball primitive religion, he's an enemy of free speech.

At least his heart cleaves toward defense of the weak; for all his other failings, that through line is true.

[Supersedeas]

40. Joe Caveat

42. Damkira urges Lieberman to talk a long walk...

[tinfoilinfor2005]

43. He makes my tummy feel like it did that time I ate the bad chicken.

:P :puke:

[bronxiteforever]

44. Joe thanks to your votes for Shrub we can waterboard you!

eom

[Frank Cannon]

45. To quote Dr. Leonard H. McCoy...

[Demit]

46. Jesus Mary & Joseph. Words fail. "a Democratic-led Congress, he said, must

change its ways." ???

What. The. Fuck. If Democrats in Connecticut re-elect this guy, I...I...in the words of maxrandb, I WANT TO RIP THEIR FUCKING TITS OFF.

[Anakin Skywalker]

52. Alter Into What? Into Bush-Bots?

Go CHENEY YOURSELF, Joey!

[yojon]

53. OK Joe....

anything else you want me to do? I'll get right on it.

[leesa]

54. Getting rid of Neocons like Hillary and Lieberman would finally change the

tone. I agree. Get rid of the DLC garbage.

[Occulus]

55. Kgfnally urges LIEberman to go to hell n/t

[beltanefauve]

56. Won't say

whether or not he thinks we'll be better off with a Democratic congress, supposts Bolton, and now this, all within 72 hours! Why isn't this enough for him to self-implode?

PLEASE, PLEASE, Connecticut, vote this asshat outta here!

[TankLV]

57. FUCK YOU JOE!

That is all...

[TheWatcher]

58. In Other news, TheWatcher Urges Holy Joe To Go Fuck Himself

[WCGreen]

59. Fuck him.....

He was i the leadership of this party and made it undermined it to cow tow to the Republicans...

[HuffleClaw]

60. "said he would remain a member of the Democratic caucus" ???

will they even WANT his traitorous ass?

[Joe Bacon]

61. LIEberman stabs us in the back everyday.

If Diebold puts him back in, he WILL jump to the GOP. That's why we got to pull out all the stops for Lamont and get to 52 Senators.

[ProgressiveEconomist]

62. Joe's zigging while the electorate's zagging. Happy retirement, Joe!

Next year, he can talk politics with his Republican buddies, on the golf course at the country club.

[yurbud]

63. the tone he wants is everyone singing Bush's tune

[yurbud]

64. even if he goes back to calling himself a Democrat, they can take away

his seniority and deny him any chairmanships, can't they?

[Neecy]

65. Change the tone? Really?

Maybe Joe should watch some campaign ads around the country.

In Missouri, "Change the Tone" Repuke Jim Talent is running one of the sleaziest, sickest ads I've seen to date - he infers that McCaskill is responsible for sexual abuse of the elderly in nursing homes. I've seen this horrible ad at least 50 times in the last week.

And now Joe says that DEMOCRATS need to change the tone???? Wake up, asshole! Smell the fucking coffee!

[warrens]

66. Change the tone

Yeah, right, Joe. Turn the other cheek to psychopaths? The only thing those thugs understand is a kick in the yarbles.

[Canuckistanian]

67. Change the fucking "tone in Washington?"

Gee, now where have I heard THAT phrase before.........

So, Dems should all become Republican-lite and everyting will be peachy, right Joe?

[geniph]

68. Geniph Urges Lieberman to Go Cheney Himself

and stop offering advice to your betters.

[tom_paine]

69. Liebreman the Concern Troll. How disgusting.

What a whore (no disrespect to prostitues by associating them with Joementum)!

I grow more and more convinced that he has been a Bushevik moles for many years. How they must have creamed their pants when they realized that their highest mole & troll was going to be the VP nominee.

Caveat: I am not saying it is 100% certain Lieberman is a Bushevik mole, but it is certainly more than likely, at least 50-50, that he is one.

[symbolman]

70. HEY PUPPET

Fuck you -- Here's a Flash I did about LIEberman, with a plea to vote for Lamont :

Here's the Link, called "A Party of ONE":

[Anakin Skywalker]

[JCMach1]

74. Joe, it's not TONE, but CONTENT that's the problem in Washington

Joe sure knows how to beat a dead horse...

[Zorra]

75. Hello...? The "tone" in Washington is REPUBLICAN CORRUPTION.

Please, do tyhe right thing, and be a real patriot, Joe. Drop out of the race, so that a real Democrat can take your seat.

For the good of the country.

[Rocknrule]

76. Get out of our party Benedict Joe!
