Lieberman: 'Thank God' political momentum now with Republicans
By Michael O'Brien

04/13/10

It's a good thing that voters have moved against the prospect of one-party control of Congress for decades, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) said.

Lieberman, an Independent senator who caucuses with Democrats, acknowledged momentum for the GOP and said that independents had become alienated from Democrats, who control both the House and the Senate.

"There were a lot of people, particularly Democrats, who were declaring after the 2008 election that we were beginning a period of Democratic dominance that would go on for decades," Lieberman said during an interview with the conservative Newsmax magazine. "Now, all of a sudden, the momentum is with the Republicans. And that's — thank God — that's the way people have spoken, you know? That's our democracy."

1. Isn't that the definition of Joementum?

DLC 5th columnists need more republicans to provide political cover for their legislative inaction.

[Cha]

2. Could that asshole be anymore selfserving?

[Wilms]

3. Recommend for MAXIMUM visibility.

[Supersedeas]

16. kicked

[indepat]

33. Why don't the Dems get a ca-jone or two and kick his two-faced, duplicitous ass out of the

their caucus? :P

[HughMoran]

4. Benedict Arnold, at it again

:eyes:

[quiet.american]

5. Has he stopped to think? If the momentum is w/the GOP, where does that leave him?

Or is it with the GOP all over, except for in his state, where it's with him. :shrug:

[FrenchieCat]

6. Don't know why, but I don't give a shit what Lieberman has to say.......

What I do know is that it is rarely good news,
nor relevant news.

[Phx_Dem]

7. When is he up for relection?

Surely, the good people of CT have learned their lesson and won't relect this piece of shit.

[Kdillard]

8. I believe he is up for reelection in 2012. It doesn't look good for him.

[Phx_Dem]

22. Ah, that's too bad.

:7

[political_Dem]

9. Who truly cares what that traitor says?

Because of his past actions, he's only known as a guy who plays off both sides. Loyalty is not his strong suit. So why would anyone trust his word in regards to anything?

[budkin]

10. He's gone in 2012 and will be long forgotten

[Bluzmann57]

11. He'll land a job with Faux

Or with some lobbying firm. Or maybe both. Ol' Holy Joe won't be out of sight for too long.

[IndianaGreen]

19. Israel Lobby will go to bat for him, as it did in 2006, and y'all will be tarred as anti-Semites

This is their modus operandi!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

12. *ugh*

He makes me sick. President Obama and Reid turned both cheeks (and then some) for this guy after everything he did for the GOP from 2007-onward and THIS is how he repays them?!!! Some gratitude for trying to help him retain his chairmanship(s) after the 2008 election.
:banghead:

[Lord Helmet]

13. Lieberman: America's Douchenozzle.

[ellie]

14. Hey Joe! When we want to hear from

you, we will rattle your cage. Until then, STFU!

[kjackson227]

15. AND... I'll thank God when your political career has ended, LIEberman.

[Jennicut]

17. As a voter in CT, I thank God for that democracy too Joe. His polling #'s here are

abysmal. In the 30% range for approval. Better find something interesting to do around Stamford after Nov 2012 Joe.

[IndianaGreen]

18. Why is this puke allowed to chair the Homeland Security Committee? Harry Reid, are you listening?

This puke should be stripped of his chairmanship, and should be forcibly removed from the Democratic caucus. Failure to do so signifies collusion with the GOP.

[JoePhilly]

20. I hate this DICK

[greencharlie]

21. did he REALLY say that? nt

[RFKHumphreyObama]

23. CT voters...please put an end to his political career at the next election

Ned Lamont would have been so much better

[AlinPA]

24. He wil be a republican in December.

[karynnj]

35. I would bet that you are right - especially if he is needed to give them the majority

That would be heaven for him

[polichick]

25. This guy sounds crazier and crazier each time he opens his mouth. nt

[old mark]

26. Is he up for election this year? CT, can you please find someone else? nt

[applegrove]

27. If you build it they will come. Seems as if the people who control the GOP, teapartier bubble will

not let them suffer a loss. Probably why David Frum was fired. He spoke the truth. And if the teapartiers really suffered a loss they might just grow up a bit and accept they live in a complicated world.

[davidpdx]

28. He's a ****head

My guess is he's going to conveniently retire and avoid the ass-whooping he deserves.

[WI_DEM]

29. This political opportunist will caucus with the GOP if GOP wins enough seats or may decide to be the

deciding vote.

[krawhitham]

30. Thank God they peaked too early

[otohara]

31. Thank God, Joe Won't Be Around

for much longer -
but still too long

[DCBob]

32. This guy is more a liability than a help to the Dem party.

Time to dump him.

[4lbs]

34. Funny, I don't recall him saying the same thing when the GOP was in TOTAL control of all 3 branches

during the years 2001 through 2006.

[iceman66]

36. If you read the whole article

he also practically endorses Palin for president!
