Hey, ya'll can have him ok? We won't fight you for him. This guy is as much a double-minded, two-faced sonofabitch as John McCain!! I don't care how liberal he is on all matters other than war... Because he was prowar, prodeath... he can take a hike to hell.

Good Grief....

But, for all those praising his name and vowing if he's on he McCain ticket, you'll vote for him... >>>>>:madlaugh:

His donations are just that much more help in getting liberal Democrats elected. Thanks Joe! :thumbsup: How does that square with you conservative fanatics who THOUGHT Joe Lieberman had gone over to the dark side???

Lesson: Joe Lieberman is an economic and social liberal, but a pro-Israel warhawk, a Benyamin Netanyahu follower. If it benefits Israel.. and the Iraq invasion and occupation.. does... he's for it... aggressively.

You will not be getting in a VP, a vote against abortion, affirmative action or any of the other social changes you want. He was pro-partial birth abortion ya know? And he has a staunch pro-environment record.

BUT..the good news for you armchair warriors is good 'ol Joe WILL be very effective in the new Vice President job description aka WAR DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR.

Joe was pro.. partial birth abortion (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3827/is_200008/ai_n8923078)

Joe's as much a flaming liberal as John Kerry (http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?articleId=9348) (except on Israel, Iran and Iraq)

Anyway... if he and McCain marry for this election, it will make for some interesting campaign ads and debates, since I'm very sure there is ample fodder from both men's history, voting records and sound bytes to use.
Lieberman’s $100K Peace Offering to Senate Dems (http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/0808/Liebermans_100K_Peace_Offering_to_Senate_Dems.html )


Money can’t buy him love, but John McCain-backing Joe Lieberman is hoping a little cash will diffuse Democrats’ anger towards him — and help him keep his chairmanship of the Homeland Security and Public Works Committee.

After forking over $100,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee last year, the Connecticut Democrat-turned-independent has written a second $100,000 check to DSCC Chairman Chuck Schumer in recent days, according to a people familiar with the situation.

“Basically, he doesn’t want everybody to hate him,” one Lieberman-friendly Democrat said. “Plus he wants to keep his committee.”

Lieberman caucuses — awkwardly — with Democrats at their weekly meetings but is on the outs with many in his longtime party for turning his back on Barack Obama, who refused to campaign against him in 2006 during his bitter reelection contest against Ned Lamont. More than a few have talked about stripping him of his committee post after November.

Thus Lieberman’s schmear campaign. Lieberman’s
Responsibility/Opportunity/Community PAC, has given the DSCC $30,000 since last year — in addition to doling out smaller donations to the New Mexico Democratic party and the reelection campaigns of Democratic centrists Max Baucus, Mary L. Landrieu and Mark Pryor.

Hey, Lieberman, as Mccain, is a Democrat at heart, so why are Liebermans actions a surprise?
