Reply #8: You know, why the hell would Lieberman switch parties?

[LynneSin]

Talk about dumbass

First, the guy is one of the strongest advocates for choice, campaign reform, healthcare, civil rights, social support system and the environment out there. You think the republicans want that in their party just because the guy is pro-war? Hell they chased Jeffords out for just those reasons mentioned above. Lieberman has stellar ratings from ACLU, NARAL, LCV, HRC, Amnesity International. Yeah, he's a republican.

Plus, Lieberman has senority in the party and a platform to support the issues that he cares deeply about like his passionate plea to pull the ANWR drilling amendment out of the defense budget. For someone so fricking republican that he's ready to switch parties, that surely won't endear him.

I don't mean to be rude but all this party switching stuff is baloney along with the "Lieberman is going to take a position on Bush's cabinet".

Think of it this way - right now the republican party is a leaky, sinking ship with all the scandals and unpopularity. Whereas the democratic party is like a newly built, best-of-the-line yacht. You think Lieberman is going to jump from his safe boat to a sinking ship? Even Lieberman is not that dumb
