Lieberman undecided on supporting Obama in 2012
Source: Raw Story
By David Edwards

Independent Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman said Wednesday that he was unsure if he would support Barack Obama for president in 2012. So, the hosts of Fox & Friends did their best to convince him that Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry was the right choice.

“Everybody remembers that in 2008, you supported the Republican in the race, John McCain, your dear friend,” Fox News host Gretchen Carlson began. “But now will you support President Obama?”

“Well, I’m going to approach this 2012 election as the independent that I am,” Lieberman explained. “Therefore, I don’t know who I’m going to support at this point… I want to see who’s got the plans, who the Republicans nominate… Bottom line, too early to say.”

“No one has to tell you what’s going on in Afghanistan and Iraq,” Fox News host Brian Kilmeade told the senator. “In Iraq, we seem to be taking our eye off the ball. There have been a bunch of bombings. So, that can’t make you happy. And in Afghanistan, Petraeus comes up with a plan, who you have a great respect for, and the president comes up with his own plan. Isn’t that a game breaker for you?”

1. I couldn't give one flying f*** about who Joe Lieberman supports.
In fact, I would all but vote completely OPPOSITE of who JL supports. He's an irrelevant jackass -- and isn't he retiring anyway? Thought I'd heard that somewhere ...

5. He supported McCain against Obama in 2008 for Pete's sake
So in 2012, he either supports someone to McCain's right, or Obama, who is to the right of
the 2008 candidate Obama. The only thing he hasn't grasped is that he could support Tinker
Bell and it would have just about the same impact.

6. So, he didn't support him the first time
why would he be any different now? He's done anyway.
