Lieberman Says Win Won't Be Debt to GOP
Sen. Lieberman says he won't be beholden to GOP if he wins, adding 'I'll owe everybody'

(AP) MERIDEN, Conn. Though Sen. Joe Lieberman expects to win a lot of Republican votes Tuesday, the Connecticut lawmaker said he won't feel especially beholden to the GOP if he is elected to a fourth term.

"I'll owe everybody and that's the point," Lieberman said Monday as he pressed for final votes at a senior center in Meriden.

Lieberman is running as an independent and has enjoyed support from the GOP, including praise from the White House and fundraising help from prominent Republicans such as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

But he said his comeback since the primary has convinced him that he needs to be a stronger independent voice.

"It's taken me as an independent-minded Democrat and really empowered me to be more independent," said Lieberman, the Democrats' 2000 vice presidential nominee. "Parties are important, but they're not as important as the public interest."

1. I hope he loses

I ain't buying the "it's in the bag" thing they're trying to espouse

[Demeter]

2. Hope He Doesn't Wake Up to a Horse's Head in His Bed.

Lieberman is either incredibly stupid or has a lot of chutzpah. Maybe both.

3. I can't stand that fucking prick.

:puke:

:mad:

I know there's other races we need to win more but I really, really hope Joe goes.

4. He should drop out now - fulfill his promise of 3 terms & save some face

It's the only way he can save his reputation. Pull out & support Lamont now, or go down in history as a whining loser.

5. Right, and he'll proclaim his love for the Baby Jesus if he wins

6. yah right..........the Puke Gods will demand a sacrifice.

When you sell your soul the Devil there is no declaring bankruptcy to clear the debt.

7. The repugs don't have to call in debts to get Joe to vote with them.

All they have to do is hold out a doggie treat for poodles.

8. Parties are important, but not as important as Holy Joe's ego.

9. 70% of repugs voted for him so he's beholden to the majority of them

Joe like Bush, will payback those responsible for making him the republican democrat from CT.

13. If you want a Democrat to become your Senator...

Vote for the man with a D in front of his name. Screw this "you can't lose nonsense." Lieberman has given democrats no reason to trust him.
