For anyone interested, LIEBERMAN is introducing MCCAIN at a Town Meeting on CSPAN

[MADem]

Well, no question where he's plunked his ass down, I guess!

[hisownpetard]

1. That's like Scum, introducing the Pond.

[MADem]

6. It's down in FL--he's probably trying to scrape off some of the historically Democratic Jewish vote.

Why else would Joe be down that way? He's likely using what he learned on the road with Al to help Johnnie boy...

[hisownpetard]

13. If McCain gets the nomination, I'll bet Lieberman will be his VP.

Ucch - I could just puke at the thought.:puke: :puke:

[MADem]

18. It could be a winning ticket, too. Another "first"--a Jewish VP.

The evangelicals would eat it up--a step closer to the Rapture, after all.

And Holy Joe needs a new job--he knows this is his last term as the Senator from CT unless he formally switches parties.

[TheMightyFavog]

32. No chance in hell Lieberman wil get the nod, I think Huckabee's gonna be thier VP pick.

If the repukes pick a moderate like Lieberman, the Talibornagain wing may just throw up thier arms shout "The Republican Party has abandoned us!" and stay home, or in an extreme case, go third party. The RNC higher ups know that their fundie wing is losing patience with the Republicans. They need a fundie like Huckabee on the ticket to keep them from jumping ship.

I think that it would be much more likely that if Lieberman's gonna be involved in the presidentail race, it'll be with the Unity '08 movement.

[MADem]

34. We'll see. I give it better than even odds. They're VERY WELL RECEIVED in FL

Why do you think Holy Joe, from CT, is down in FL, stumping for JMcC???

It's a tryout. It could be a winner in NY, too.

[TheMightyFavog]

38. Trying to get at the Jewish retiree vote?

Specifically, those of the Jewish Faith who are strongly pro-Israel?

[MADem]

40. Absolutely. He could flip NY, too, if the nominee isn't Clinton.

Hell, even Schumer would be a half-hearted endorser if Holy Joe were on the ticket. The figures don't lie: http://www.adherents.com/largecom/com_judaism.html

We've had a race card, a gender card...why not a religion card?

All these people griping about cards aren't playing with a full deck, anyway!!!

[New Dawn]

30. LOL, excellent analogy!

[Catherine Vincent]

2. I really don't know why he doesn' switch to the Republican party.

Does he think Dems would get mad? Switch already!

[MADem]

11. No. Don't switch. We need him for our MAJORITY in the Senate.

That's why he stays in the middle--because he's an attention-seeking ASSHOLE, who likes to be fawned over.

And this is his last moment to shine, too. And he KNOWS it.

Once we have a decisive majority, we CAN tell him to go fuck himself. But not now, not yet.

[OmahaBlueDog]

3. Hey Connecticut! Is it too late to start a recall?

I don't know what kind of petitioning would be involved, but I'd love to give Joe something else to think about.

[SoFlaJet]

4. Thanks for the reminder

I just finished eating and don't want to barf

[LiberalHeart]

5. Was Obama too busy to introduce him?

[MADem]

7. Well, why would he introduce a rival on the other team?

I think what you mean is "Why wasn't Lieberman introducing Obama instead?" perhaps? Owing to the mentoring relationship Obama had with Holy Joe?

Looks like Joe has chosen, and he prefers his longtime Senate pal to his more recent former protege....

[LiberalHeart]

10. I meant exactly what I said. Obama is another Joe.

[MADem]

12. But he is also running for the same job McCain is running for. You don't

endorse a rival.

Your post is illogical.

[LiberalHeart]

19. It's not illogical at all. It's predicting the future.

[MADem]

21. I think you're on a different plane than the rest of us, here.... nt

[baldguy]

15. Then you must absolutely despise Clinton & Edwards.

[LiberalHeart]

20. Edwards is the only one who'll get my vote.

[baldguy]

27. Really? That's very strange.

Edwards is a tried & true Democrat who will - without reservation or questions - support and campaign for the party's nominee. If he doesn't win will you call him a traitor - and cheer when the Republican takes office in Jan?

EVERY one of our Democratic candidates is better than ANY Republican. Period. If you don't believe that - all I can say is get yer head out of out of yer butt. This isn't a game- there's a real world with real consequences for every human being. Your choices are freedom or slavery. If you don't support the Dem nominee then you allow slavery to win.

[LiberalHeart]

28. Oh puh-leze. Those may be your two choices; they aren't mine.

Some people find it acceptable to cast a ballot for someone they think will damage their party and the progressive agenda. I do not. I'll play no role in that.

[thoughtcrime1984]

22. Foolish talk

Ridiculous.

[LiberalHeart]

23. Get back to me about how ridiculous it is after your guy gets finished reaching across the aisle...

...and bringing us all together. What a load of crapola. That's called selling out the Democratic/progressive agenda, and it's apparently what many are willing to do because they like the idea of "hope" more than they like the idea of fighting for what America needs. We've already seen how well the negotiating and compromise and making nice works. Watched D.C. much since the mid-terms? Anybody that buys into the Obama myth is in for a huge letdown if he's elected.

[hisownpetard]

25. The poster is being intentionally over the top. "Liberal Heart" is a misnomer.

[LiberalHeart]

29. I'm not being over the top at all. I'm telling you my view of the candidates.

If your inability to handle that means you have to find solace in questioning my liberal credentials, so be it.

[Yael]

8. !!!

:rofl:

I don't know/care who you are for -- thats funny right there.

[Pushed To The Left]

9. He has endorsed McCain n/t

[MADem]

33. Don't be surprised if he RUNS with McCain, if he gets the nom

"The Odd Couple" meets "Grumpy Old Men."

The cautionary tale in all that--both movies were BIG HITS.

And Lieberman is already vetted as, and unfairly denied the title of, "Vice President" in the eyes of many.

[Kucinich4America]

14. McCain/Liberdouche... It's a done deal

Assuming Grandpa gets the nomination, of course.

[AtomicKitten]

16. Ugh.

[TheDeathadder]

17. I'm from CT

and LIEBERMAN boils my blood. My head almost exploded when I watched the Repub debate recently and McCain said the insulting "My favorite Democrat Joe LIEBERMAN"

[robbedvoter]

41. But, think - Joe on the ticket will anger EVERYONE! left and right!

[calico1]

42. I don't know about that.

He isn't only the Republicans in Congress' favorite Democrat. I know several Republicans who voted for him in the last election (Senate) instead of the Republican candidate. And on some other boards I frequent Republicans who trash every other Democrat say only nice things about him.

Just think how that ticket would look though. Geritol, anyone?

LOL

[MADem]

44. Grumpy Old Men.

Or The Odd Couple.

Or both!

[Lone_Wolf]

24. Probably positioning himself to be McCain's VP

I hate Joementum.

[HughMoran]

26. Lieberman is a filthy scum-sucking pig

Why or why is he caucusing with the Democrats? I hate this mans guts.

[CreekDog]

31. This is a reminder to DU that we should focus on whom we really hate

:hi:

[ecstatic]

35. I don't get it. Does Lieberman actually think he has a following?

He's sadly mistaken if he thinks repugs respect him. And of course, he should know by now that the people of CT won't even be stupid enough to re-elect him. Delusions of grandeur much?

[MADem]

36. He knows he'sdone in CT--that's why he needs a new gig, delivering FL for McCain.

And posing as the "reasonable moderate"--vetted by the Dems as a VP, and now acting as a UNIFIER and a healer, 'bridging the divide...'

AND...he's a "FIRST" too!!

It may be vomitous, but that's a strong rationale, there.

[MADem]

37. He COULD deliver FL. AND make NY competitive IF the nominee is NOT HRC.

There are a shitload of Republicans in upstate NY. And their is a substantial Jewish community in and around NYC. IF HRC isn't the nominee, you could see historical Democrats crossing party lines to vote NOT race, NOT gender...but religion.

[robbedvoter]

39. I hope he'll make him his VP - that's gonna make him popular - with BOTH PARTIES

:rofl:

[calico1]

43. The great thing about Lieberman is he really

thinks he is important. That people sit on the edge of their seat to wait for what he has to say next and that he is relevant. :crazy:
