4. Holy Joe has a lot of stealth supporters in DU
the unrec system provides anonymity. I would like to see DU provide the list of users that rec and unrec threads. Let's have some transparency here, after all, DU admin has the technical ability to see who voted what in polls.

13. That's what I suspect
That "support" came out during the Lamont/Lieberman battle, if I recall.

15. Eww. I am ashamed I voted for him once, or actually twice in 2000.
Once for Senator and then when he ran with Gore. Hey, I was 24 and Joe was still known as a Dem back then.

Democratic convention.. IN FACT, he was at the REPUKE convention, wasn't he????

5. Holy Joe and his close personal friend Lindsey Graham supported McCain
Very touching, the closet gay with the closet Republican supporting the insane man from Arizona.

Gore's VP... THAT was a HUGE mistake...

8. Yeah, he could be President Lieberman today
Iran would have been bombed early this year, and the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other parts of the world would be raging at full blast.

16. An optimistic view of "President Lieberman"
I don't see him as a man of strong principles, but rather as a politician who's very conscious of his public image and always has his eye on the main chance.

As a Senator, he's seen his main chance as coming across as an independent thinker, an image he projects by stabbing the Democrats in the back most of the time.

As Vice President, however, his main chance would more likely have been party loyalty. After two terms of Gore/Lieberman, he would have sought the 2008 nomination as a dedicated liberal, and would have tended to govern that way.

Admittedly, this is pure speculation. What's more important is that, even if I'm right about what would have happened, it obviously didn't, so the speculation doesn't diminish the need to boot his sorry ass from the Senate in 2012.

10. It was a huge mistake.
I think it launched him to the national stage, a stage he now uses for opposition to Democrats.

6. The man has no Respect cause of his undeserving nature...To come over to the Dems/Indie side of
things is OK if he comes fully over the line...

This straddle shit is despicable behavior on his part.

No wonder peeps out there are pissed with his actions...

He hasn't learned from Obama the ways of peace and diplomacy...not yet...

9. Lieberman is an Insurance shill who sleeps with anyone who pays

he bedded down to be VP candidate with Dems (and probably cost Gore the election), and then jumped into the arms of McCain in hopes of kicking himself up a notch. He is an opportunist pig.

Traitors need to go.
