Joe Lieberman: 2008’s Zell Miller
June 16th, 2008, 11:51 AM EDT
Democrats, already upset that Joe Lieberman is endorsingandcampaigning for John McCain, were hoping that he, at least, would not be bashing Obama. But that hope has gone the way of a kinder, gentler America. Lieberman is blaming Obama for saying that US foreign policiy is strengthening Iran. With the possiblity of Lieberman speaking at the GOP convention, why not just switch parties, already? Democrats will be in the majority by 2009 without him.
Zell Miller does not exist. He is merely an identity assumed by the <a href=http://www.buzzflash.com/analysis/04/09/ana04017.html
evil Emperor Palpatine for purposes beyond mere mortal comprehension.
Joe Lieberman, I suspect, is a weenie masquerading as a man.

If I am not mistaken Lieberman is technically a Independent or a Independent Democrat. The reason is the Democrats tried to unseat him during his last election. All Lieberman would have to do is say he is now a Indepedent leaning Republican because he is a Independent.
Lieberman switch parties why? He can have a lot more fun with both parties by staying independent.

The Jowls of Lieberman have spoken…

Joe still can’t get over the fact that Al Gore did not endorse him for president in 2004. Now, he acts like a Republican.

Iran is being strengthened through the combination of high oil prices and our takedown of their evil neighbor next door (Saddam).
When a homegrown Iraqi government finally takes root, it’ll be closer in nature to Iran’s Islamic theocracy than any of us should be comfortable with.
Obama is right. Joe is wrong.

Liebermann, like Tom DeLay, is a fool and everyone knows it.

@RC: I laughed my ass off at the Palpatine comment…

I don’t know why anyone in the media even listens to Lieberman anymore. He’s a joke.
Oh, maybe it’s because of the “joke” factor.

flap: if it’s on the web it must be true (and it’s a little amazing, some of the stuff that’s out).
CC: “Jokes” are a form of entertainment, which is now a synonym for “news.” So if it’s funny, it’s news.
What I’d like to know is why we keep seeing clips of Bush walking along sidewalks and waving a hand at people, as if there’s some ole buddy of his around somewhere, just climbing out of a pickup truck.

Someone has finally decided to confront the problem facing Democrats and the larger problem infecting our political system. Sen. Joe Lieberman did a tremendously selfish thing. He took Democratic funding to defeat the Democratic Party. He provided an example and a pathway for Sen. Hillary Clinton to attempt the same thing, but she proved her loyalty to the Party. The shame of Joe Lieberman is he is as shameless as Bill Clinton in holding onto power. No cliques should violate the Constitution for selfish gain. Lieberman proved himself to be a “Loserman!” More people would speak out, but they fear his power on the Homeland Security issue. Who wants an IRS audit for no reason? Joe’s smile makes him far more dangerous than Zell Miller. Zebra Zell’s frown let you know exactly what’s on his mind before he speaks. Joe’s smile makes him dangerous because you don’t see the knife until it’s in your back.

Joe better watch out or Obama will just kick his ass, like he almost did last week. I would love to see that on C-Span! Joe getting put through a spank machine on the floor of the Senate by all the Democrats…

I don’t quite understand the problem here? Just because someone has the label of ‘democrat’, does that mean he’s REQUIRED to endorse and support a democrat?
Just because he’s registered as one political party, he still has the right to endorse who he thinks would be best for the presidency, regardless of their party.
If Obama was a republican, would that change your opinion of him? Would you care that his party was the only thing that was different than how he is now?
I find it ironic how people criticize Lieberman for supporting a republican, all the while supporting Obama because you feel that he can unify the country. Rather counterproductive, don’t you think?
