If Lieberman spoke at the GOP convention, wouldn't he be booed?

[Seen the light]

It would be like Trent Lott speaking in Denver for Obama, no? So I don't even get the reason why McCain would want him speaking there. Does he think those puke convention attendees are going to go wild for...Joe Lieberman?

1. Republicans are very disciplined, particularly party people...

Q the applause sign, bring out the turncoat. Standing O people!

[DFW]

2. They WOULD go wild for Lieberman

Don't forget, he was (for all it got us) our VP nominee 8 years ago. They
can trot out OUR VP nominee and say, "look, the Democrats have lost their way
to such a degree that their own VP nominee from 8 years ago is speaking here
and endorsing OUR guy!"

They will conveniently neglect to mention that Lieberman couldn't even win the
Democratic Primary in his own state for re-election to the Senate, that he was
no longer a Democrat, and that he had been schmoozing up to the Republicans for
years now, so this was not some sudden revelation that brought him to their
convention, but more like "any port in a storm." But we'll be the ones mentioning
all that and the MSM will be fawning over his conversion of conscience and all that
made-up crap they use to fill time in-between commercials.

3. Option Three: They ignore the nebbish-nudnik.

4. Trent Lott hasn't endorsed Obama and said the Republican

party is putting America's security at stake. Liebermann has been a GOP spokesperson against Obama. Why wouldn't they applaud him?

[Bluzmann57]

5. They would (will) do what they are told

Ditto heads ya know. That term says it all.

6. What, you forget about nutcase Zell Miller in 2004?

The Rethugs are going to trot out these losers at every convention for the rest of our lives, so you may as well get used to it.

[kentuck]

7. No.

Republicans like Joe Lieberman more than they like John McCain.

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. It would be a "We told you so" moment for the demented right.

The R's would welcome him like a long-lost brother.

:puke: :puke:

[Raine]

9. They have floor managers

who control the convention so that even a fart can't get passed unless OKed by them. x(

[Youphemism]

10. I'd think Lieberman speaking *anywhere* would be booed. /nt

[democrattotheend]

11. Republicans tend to respect Lieberman

Even though he is pro-choice, pro-environment, pro-labor, and anti-reckless tax cuts. But I guess his hawkishness and his faith make Republicans respect him.

[quakerboy]

12. Zell Miller

Nuff said?

[TwilightGardener]

13. Why would they BOO him, if they invite him to do damage to Obama?

Fuck, he'll get the biggest cheers of the night, just like Batshit Zell.

[Arugula Latte]

14. Nope. They love that repulsive scumbucket.
