Does Joe Lieberman make anyone else sick?

[Nightjock]

I have done a complete about face on him. When he ran (and won) with Al Gore I really liked him.

This morning I see him saying "The Bi Partison part of the Senate came through" on the bush judges and my skin just crawled. Since September of 2001 and Iraq he has become a complete sellout a--hole. (IMO)

I hope someone runs in the primary against him. I would send campaign contributions to the man or woman who could get him out.

Is there any chance of someone running against him?

1. Yes. I liked him then too, I knew he was socially conservative but

I thought he had integrity and was a team player (on our team). But since then he has made me very, very sick. I saw him on the campaign trail (just to see him, I was never close to supporting him)in 2003 and even in person he kind of got my back up.

We need to primary his ass in 2006.

2. I dislike him too...

but he was right to compromise on this issue. It was a net win.

3. Holy Joe has ALWAYS made me want to puke. -eom

4. Didn't like him then....don't like him now....

self serving sanctimonious s.o.b. Gore choosing him made me think less of Gore as well.

5. What I hate is that Al Gore gave him credibility.

He would've remained a nobody if not for Al Gore's completely misguided VP nomination. And that would've been fine. A guaranteed "D" in our column is almost always a good thing. It's not with Lieberman because of his goddamn name recognition now.

6. If we don't run a REAL Dem...

in the Primary against this sell-out, then we don't deserve to win elections. This guy is as bad as the Rethugs, actually worse, since he claims to be a Dem. I will help anyone who runs against him.

8. I like him but not so much his politics

9. I will be supporting his challenger, be it Dem or Repuke. n/t

10. I never liked him. I tend to measure a politician by their "pet issues".

Basically because it gives me a measure of what they are genuinely concerned about in the first place, and it's usually the reason they got into politics. Clinton didn't have any one "pet issue" unless you want to count something as broad as foreign policy. Gore's "pet issue" was the environment. Lieberman's "pet issue"? Censorship. As in, being ni favor of it. That was the beginning and the end of the discussion for me.

Besides which, you're never, ever, EVER going to get any realistic "youth vote" for him, because his rhetoric is built on the foundation of making backhanded remarks about younger culture.

12. In another context, Holy Joe would probably be an able,

perhaps even a good senator, but, like fighting yesterday's war, the world has changed and he has failed to change with it. The demand is for people of principle and strong ethics. If Joe threw caution to the breezes and stood on said p&e, his base would dissolve and he'd have to fall back on pimping speeches.

13. I just wish he'd formally change parties and be done with it.

[dxstone]

14. He's such a showstopper!

The guy's really energetic, for a 200-year-old turtle, anyway...
I can't stand him. Everything he says just seems to come out "Blah blah blah blah" in this total dead monotone...
Why the fuck would the Dem party run him for anything? Don't we have ANYONE else?
AnyTHING else?
I'd vote for a pet rock first... and I never liked pet rocks to begin with.

ps: If we were smart, we'd run Martin Sheen, or Michael Moore, or Randi Rhodes... we'd run REAL people for these high offices, instead of these poor slow plodding second-rate clones...
Why can't we run REAL PEOPLE?
Then we'd be the Democratic Party again.
Simple as that.

15. Don't talk that way about President Leiberman.

Its disrespectful.

[Vinca]

16. How did you recognize him from the back?

He usually has his lips planted on a Republican behind.

[ChiciB1]

17. Yeah... What a DIFFERENCE 5 Years Make!

Actually it's only FOUR. I was completely turned off by him during the primaries.

He sure has changed because I remember a DIFFERENT man from before! Now, I think even Gore is ashamed!

18. Nauseating.

20. No. He doesn't.

He has infuriated me on occasion, but then just about every Senator has.

He's been solid on the environment and reproductive rights; he took his time but has come around on SS.

Let's face it--many DUers will always be sickened by him for unapologetically supporting the Iraq war (and, I imagine, a few will always be sickened by him for being unapologetically Jewish, although they won't say so.) That's just the nature of things.

I'm no more bothered by him than, say, Biden; but that's just me.

21. Maybe it's just love?

Romance is in the air today across the land. But in Washington, the buzz continues about "The Kiss." No, not Gustav Klimt 's famous painting. It's the big fat one an exuberant President Bush planted on Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman 's right cheek as he waded through the Capitol crowd after the State of the Union a couple of weeks ago.

The Connecticut Democrat said he didn't mind it and thought Bush was thanking him for his support of the administration's foreign policy. Or maybe it was for Lieberman's not dismissing outright Bush's Social Security proposal.

22. He gives me the old JoeMotion in the gut and nauseates me.
