Lieberman Asks Dems and Independents To Vote McCain

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Source: ABC News

ABC News' Bret Hovell Reports: Sen. Joseph Lieberman called on Michigan's Independents and Democrats on Tuesday to come out and vote for Sen. John McCain in the Republican primary, saying he is convinced that McCain will "become our next great American president."

"I urge them to come out today and stand for a man who is a great American patriot," Lieberman said at a joint town hall meeting with McCain in Ann Arbor, Mich.

"There's no competitive Democratic primary," Lieberman added. "I know there's some other moderate and conservative Democrats like myself."

Lieberman, an Independent Democratic senator from Connecticut, crossed party lines to endorsed McCain, R-Ariz., for president last month. He has appeared on the trail with McCain, and occasionally spoken in his place.

1. Lieberman is a complete ass. And he's not allowed to post on DU.

[rch35]

27. haha, I cound not help laughing when I read that.

thanks

[peabody71]

57. Linden Larouche has always put those two together.

He was actually on the Michigan ballot. Heard it on Countdown.
I find it interesting that years ago Larouch stated that Mcain and Leibertoad were in cahoots.
I thought it weird but I see it more and more.
A vice presidential pick, Leibertoad?

29. Bombard his office...

with emails, calls reminding him he's no longer a Dem and a phoney independent and that your vote will go to the Dem nominee of your choosing...and tell him he's a traitor to the Dem party and to his country...

[beltanefauve]

48. I've tried the e mail route

but I got a reply stating that he only takes e mails from his constituents!

[babylonsister]

2. Everyone will get right on that, Joe.

[Bicoastal]

3. "Independent Deocratic Senator"?!

No way. He's not ours and we don't want him.

He's a "Connecticut for Lieberman" Senator--or more accurately, a "Lieberman for Lieberman" Senator.

[donheld]

54. "Independent Demoncratic Senator"?!

[LeftishBrit]

66. 'Deocratic?!' - Are you thinking of Huckabee?

5. And Some Think We Need This Guy.... lol (nt)

[ashling]

6. He has, of course, been stripped of all his committees, right?

Can we kick him out of the party now?

[rodeodance]

15. NO, as far as i am aware-he has not been.

[JerseygirlCT]

41. We've still got to play nice to keep our "majority"

Sucks.

One more year. We need to make sure many more Dems are in the senate next time!

[mac56]

56. No, no, no.

This has been debunked thoroughly here on DU. Our majority, such as it is, will remain in place till the end of the current Congress no matter who changes.

[RiverStone]

65. Even that may be on the way out...

I don't know but Loserman seems to have drank all the kool-aid. This prick has his head so far up, he may bolt from the party just for the heel of it.

When we have a larger majority in the senate next year, DU will never - ever need to utter his name again.

[ashling]

51. That was a rhetorical question

Of course he has not.

[JerseygirlCT]

40. Next year. When we have many more Dem senators, and

Joe can fade into the obscurity he so richly deserves.

Personally, I cannot wait for that!

[shaniqua6392]

7. Hey Traitor Joe!!!

Kiss my butt.

[hisownpetard]

37. BWAHAHAHA!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. Okay Joe

[madinmaryland]

9. ..

[opihimoimoi]

10. Self Centered and arrogantly in Delusion....he plods on like he is well respected

that peeps would actually listen to his drivel and false logic....he is a POS and a Whacko

[ursi]

11. wow, Hillary backs him on the IWR and he stabs her in the back?

[Pastiche423]

12. Holy shit, holy joe

Come November, can we kick out of any committees he's on?

[fujiyama]

35. I hope we have a Lieber-proof majority

and then he should be kicked out and he can caucus with whomever the hell he wants.

[maxrandb]

62. Hey Joe!

Go Caucus yourself!

[AndyA]

13. F*ck yourself, Joe.

You'll have to do it, because no one else wants to get that close to you.

You are a disgrace to America. The Democrats in Connecticut told you to take a hike, and you went and whored yourself to the enemy.

An oozing anal wart has more compassion than you, Joe. If you had any scruples at all, you'd be too embarrassed to show your face in public.

[PassingFair]

69. Most of the democrats in Congress sucked up to him like sponges.

It was the VOTING democrats of Connecticut who cut him loose,
DESPITE party backing.

Then, pukes, independents and "centrist dems" gave him his seat
back after "the party" had promised to let him keep his committee positions.

[rodeodance]

14. he he--seems DU can unite when it comes to JOE.

[harun]

63. Got that right, and for good reason (n/t)

[southern_belle]

16. Sure thing, Joe. I'll get right on that!!!

[HockeyMom]

17. When pigs fly

from a former Independent and New Democrat. My kids made ME see the light.

[Bonobo]

19. Dems Ask Lieberman to Choke on His Sanctimonious Tongue

[Old and In the Way]

20. Whata asshole. Your time has come

and gone, Joe...you pompous insufferable prig. Do everyone a favor and just change Parties.

[matcom]

21. Day 1 of a Dem Presidency, LIEberman jumps ship.

bet it.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

22. ASKING Dems to vote for a Repug should automatically strip

him of any Democratic committee assignments!!

[last_texas_dem]

23. I wish he was actually a Democrat, so we could kick him out of the party!

Just kidding... I think.

[KingOfLostSouls]

24. So, in other words...

VOTE ROMNEY!!!


hahahahaaha

[Roland99]

25. Go fuck yourself, Mr. AIPAC

Gawd these warmongering lobbyist lovers make me wanna

[Tempest]

26. Since Holy Joe represents neither group

It will fall on deaf ears.

[defendandprotect]

28. Well, at least Holy Joe doesn't say that "god says . . . vote for McCain" . . !!!

And this man could have been a Trojan Horse/VP --- thanks Gore!!!

[adadem]

30. A friend said today

that he thinks McCain struck a deal with Lieberman to do this.
Thinks if McCain gets the nod he will select Joe as his running mate.

[bobbolink]

31. And he's still considered a Dem, while those of us on the other end of the spectrum are told to take

a long walk off a short pier.

Some party we got there.

So, LIEberman won't be allowed to post on DU, eh?

[boricua79]

32. no competitive Democratic primary?

you have everything on that stage from left to centrist-establishment DLC people.

Get the hell out of here, you wannabe Zell Miller!

[rcsl1998]

33. Screw 'Holy' Joe - Vote For Dennis! (nt)

[fujiyama]

34. Hey Lieberman

Get lost. We don't want you in our state.

[Hand]

36. Oh crap! Now we're screwn! SCREWN, I tell you!

The mighty JoeMentum has been unleashed! The election is over! All is lost!

[Zorra]

38. All the DLC/Lieberman apologists have just lost all credibility at DU.

They should just go spew their centrist crap all over freeperville, where they are appreciated for their moderate RW political views.

Joe Lieberman is a pompous, bombastic asshole.

[JerseygirlCT]

42. Are there any of those still around? nt

[Zorra]

46. Yeah. The Joe Lieberman Fan Club inevitably shows up on Kucinich

threads for a bash.

If you do a search on the Kucinich bashers you'll often find that they were supporters of Lieberman over Lamont, and ardent defenders of DLC policy.

[NastyRiffraff]

39. Who will take a bet that he'll keynote the Repulican Convention?

Zell Miller II, only with a whiny voice instead of a demented scream. Don't know which is worse.

[BulletproofLandshark]

43. Eat shit and die Lieberman.

Hearing shit like this makes me wonder if he didn't do his part to throw the 2000 election to Bush/Cheney. If Gore had picked a REAL Democratic running mate, I'm convinced the election wouldn't have been close enough to be stolen, and we'd be talking about the last year of the Gore presidency right now.

[focusfan]

44. if people vote for McCain nothing will change

it will still be like the Bush era.McCain said he is ok with
troops in Iraq for 100 years

[Ecumenist]

45. F%CK HIM!! Let his sorry, panty-waisted, two faced..

traitorous, treacherous, lily-livered, milk-toasted, yellow-bellied, sapsucking, triflin', beady eyed, pin headed ass vote for that SOB. Why doesn't the Party just plant a size 12 on his back side and throw his ass out??!!

Hey Joe... Don't let the doorknob hit ya where the good Lord split ya!!

[sakabatou]

47. No.

You are a nincompoop.

[TankLV]

49. sure you fuckwad ASSHOLE! just because a repuke says so...

go away holy joe...

[ashling]

52. Thank you Conn. Democrats for Lieberman

[Rex]

53. Joe, Joe, Joe, you are NOT a conservative Dem!

You are a fucking evil POS that kissed George Bush's ASS. Pucker up, tool.

[truthisfreedom]

55. Ridiculous Dem turncoat asks us to vote for insane 'thug invalid.

I just don't think so, Joe.

What does KKKarl rove have on you, Joe?

[jaybeat]

58. Democrats ask Liarman to Shut The F*** Up! (nt)

[KamaAina]

59. So now McCain has Joementum?

This may well explain the Ken Doll's surprisingly large margin of victory.

[Desertrose]

60. Lieberman's a weasel.

seriously. He is.

[Maribelle]

61. I love it when Lieberman does stuff like this.

He truly fires up Democrats and Independents to do the exact opposite of what he begs.

[alfredo]

64. Ask Joe to kiss my rosy red ass.

[tandot]

67. tandot asks Lieberman to go f*ck himself

[bamacrat]

68. FUCK YOU JOE!!!

What a slimy spineless bastard. Why the hell is he allowed to run as a Dem. Better yet why are people voting for this saggy old crap bag.

[superconnected]

70. I rest my case.

- about him being a repuke as I've been pointing out for years now.
