Lieberman: Working hard for McCain; prepared to bring people together if he fails

[kskiska]

Source: Stamford Advocate

From Joe's hometown paper

(snip)

Speaking of Obama directly, Lieberman said he might vote for him as president someday in the future, but specified the Democrat is "less prepared" than McCain.

"When I endorsed John in December of last year, I cited ... he was ready to be commander-and-chief on day one," Lieberman said.

Palin has come under fire from members of both parties as being ill-prepared to assume the role of commander-and-chief if necessary. Lieberman himself was the Democrats' vice presidential nominee in 2000 and ran unsuccessfully for president in 2004.

"Let's hope she never has to be ready because we hope McCain is elected and live out his term," Lieberman said. "But if, God forbid, an accident occurs or something of that kind, she'll be ready. She's had executive experience. She's smart. And she will have had on-the-job training."

Lieberman said if Obama wins on Election Day, he will support his presidency.

"I'm working my heart out for John McCain to be elected our next president," Lieberman said. "But for whatever reason he is not, I'm going to do everything I can to be bringing people together across party lines to support the new president so he can succeed. What's at stake for our country is just too serious."

1. Good fucking luck, Traitor Joe!!!

Your protracted 15 minutes in the sun are about to be
OVER (when we get our close-to-60 Senate majority!).

[saigon68]

51. Joementum Limpmann

A creature about to become extinct

If they don't boot him out

We will continue to torment the traitor and coward(and Draft Dodger)

[williesgirl]

2. This MFer better not be on ANY committee, sub-committee or anything. The CT voters will

take care of him next time for sure. Good riddance you bastard.

[Muttocracy]

3. "she will have had on-the-job training" - hmmm, interesting. nt

[Political Tiger]

20. Dumbya has had 8 years of "on-the-job training"

How's that turned out, Joe?

[Happyhippychick]

4. Joe, you bet on the wrong horse. Now you need to take your lumps.

[Sequoia]

5. She will have on the job training?!!!

Hells bells, in the air force we called in OJT and you can bet your boots they wouldn't have a novice doing OJT on a B-52 Bomber !! I don't want a VP getting on the job training. I want them to KNOW THEIR JOB!!!!

[Kolesar]

8. Didn't President William Henry Harrison die one month after his inauguration?

[Sequoia]

27. I don't recall, but when McKinley was shot Teddy Roosevelt

became President and Sharah aint no Teddy by a long shot !!

(Sarha: Oh yes, he was a Maverick, you bethca'!)

[Warpy]

6. Poor dumb Joe, all he sees is the military function

of CIC. I guess if your career is dedicated to the well being of Israel, that's all you really care about.

I see him as a beaten man on November 5, chased from all positions of importance in the Senate in January, and defeated in 2010. He's going to be in no position to bring anyone anywhere.

[AndyTiedye]

44. Unless We Get Only 59 Seats in the Senate

Then he will be helping the Repiggies run their never-ending filibuster.

[Virginia Dare]

7. Sarah Palin is smart and you're a uniter Joe...

um, NOT!

[fascisthunter]

No Joe... you Gambled by Embracing the Right Wing Extremists

you chose unwisely.....


PS - fuck you

[TerribleLarryDingle]

9. Shoove it up yer ass Joe you fucking traitor.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

10. Joe, you Silly Little Man.

Threw it all away for ambition. You are so silly, you aren't even pathetic or embarassing. You are simply contemptuous, in the way only the truly and cravenly ambitious can be.

May you drag twelve feet of flyblown, prolapsed colon around behind you, for the rest of your days. And get a Senate office in the basement, renovated from an old and especially smelly mop room. And may you be budgeted for but one staffer. And no phone.

[Demit]

11. Lieberman's power position will be lost after Nov. 4. He's already starting his smarmy kissing up.

Whaddya bet he starts using that 'let's not dwell on the past, let's look to the future' talk. Dance, Joe, dance! Revenge is a dish best served cold.

[DebbieCDC]

12. What a permanent suck up

Can't wait for the Dems to have 60 Senators (without including Liarman) so they can kick him to the curb where he belongs.

[ExPatLeftist]

13. Hey Liebermann

Nobody needs you to bring SHIT together.

FUCK OFF already.

[lumberjack_jeff]

14. Good luck with that Joe.

I'll be doing everything I can to keep you on the other side of the aisle.

[4lbs]

15. Hey Joe, the first 3 letters of your last name are LIE.

n/t

[Swede]

16. You took a gamble Joe,and bet the farm.

Good bye.

[mitchum]

17. Stat getting familiar with the curb, Joe

[Kalifornia.Kid]

18. You betcha Joe - you can borrow Palin's lipstick and start kissing ass

[daleo]

19. Joe - I jumped to the Republicans when they looked like they would win

But I am ready to jump back, now that they look like they won't win. I can be anything you want me to be.

[Sinti]

21. I think he will - and be successful at bringing both parties together

in hating him for being such a treacherous, two-faced, disgusting, democracy-hating, my party doesn't want me so I'm running Independent cretin. Mission accomplished I say. Of course, the 'cons will just go back to hating him, because he's not "one of them".

[D23MIURG23]

22. Don't you need some kind of credibility to "bring people together"?

Because I don't see where Judas Joe's would come from.

[Warren Stupidity]

23. Greater than or less than 59.

Either way and Joe can have a nice day as a backbench has-been in the Senate. There are two numbers I really care about on Nov 4: the electoral vote margin of victory for Obama and the number of Democratic (plus Bernie of course) Senators in the next Congress. If we don't need Traitor Joe, out he goes. If I were in charge I would put him out even if he did run the total to 60, but I suspect our ever cautious party leadership would not act that way.

[ElboRuum]

24. Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe...

I this. I that. I, I, I, I, I, I... It's always about YOU isn't it?

Joe Lieberman, you laid down with the pigs, and now, predictably, you are soiled. There isn't enough soap and hot water in the world to wash off your stink, sir.

[mtnester]

25. So starts Joe to distance himself from McCain

oh yes that is what this is.

[Zorra]

26. Traitor Joe will be relegated to "Most Ignored" status in the Senate. n/t

[IndianaGreen]

28. Want to bring people together, Joe? BLOW YOUR BRAINS OUT!

We will come to your funeral and recite the Kaddish for you, POS.

[LynnTheDem]

29. Don't bother with the "bring people together" thing, LIEberman.

We'll all do just fine without you, thanks.


MFer.

[David__77]

30. Not a popular opinion now, but I'd welcome him back (kind of).

He's putting out feelers clearly. Why would he want to be locked into being part of an impotant GOP caucus, and face certain defeat in 2012? If he behaves after the election, then that's fine with me.

[wordpix]

55. I agree somewhat BUT will be happy to vote him out of the Senate next time around

as I tried to do last time.

TRAITORS we don't need.

[here_is_to_hope]

31. Just fuck off Joe, we dont need traitors! n/t

[Phred42]

32. LIEbermann is gone. He will be impotent in teh Senate until he looses his next election

[bamacrat]

33. What a Summers Eve Douche.

HE should be excommunicated from the party, he is not a Dem, he is a puke slave that only gets elected becasue he wont admit that he is a republicon.

[nbcouch]

34. Screw you, Lieberman

and the horse you rode in on. Working across the aisle? Why would anyone of either party want to work with a lowlife like you?

[Solly Mack]

35. grovel grovel grovel

[RainDog]

36. the thought of him makes my skin crawl. Palin is an idiot. But she's ready.

Obama is so far out of her league, she doesn't even know where the field is.

[Lost-in-FL]

37. FUCK YOU JOE LIEBERMAN!! nt

[sellitman]

38. What a weasle!

Joe.... I am counting the days till you are bitch slapped until you are numb by your ex party.

I want front row tickets.

[Downtown Hound]

39. Ah, another fuck you Joe thread...

Well, nothing wrong with those. FUCK YOU JOE!

[dudewheresmycountry]

40. Sad news is Joe, will

become a junior senator after 30 years in the senate, he will be in no position to influence anyone, no one will even give him the time of day. Off to your corner and sit, "JOE THE JUNIOR SENATOR"

[krkaufman]

41. Obama is "less prepared" than McCain, Joe? Really?

Oct 7: Obama, McCain Transition Efforts Are Worlds Apart

Oct 9: Transition Planning Gets in Motion

A timely article in the Huffington Post says that Mr. Obama has already organized “an elaborate, well-staffed network to prepare for his possible ascension to the White House,” while Mr. McCain “has all but put off such work until after the election.”

Oct 17: Obama's transition team meets, candidate pushes on

[unkachuck]

42. traitor joe, you know I love ya....

....but the best way you can 'bring people together' is to retire from public life and go far, far away....

[silverojo]

43. So Palin's ready, but Obama's not?

Boy-oh-boy, Joe, when you sell your soul, you even throw logic under the bus, don't you?

[antonialee839]

45. Get

bent you traitor. I hope the good people of Connecticut boot your weaselly ass out of office at the first opportunity. Hopefully after the election your caucus services will no longer be needed, and the dems kick your ugly ass to the curb.

[BearSquirrel2]

46. GOOO JOE!!!!

A little more "Joementum" is exactly what the Obama camp needs. If you talk long enough the crowd will slip into a coma and be unable to vote for McCain!!!!

[Roy]

47. Translation......

Lieberman: Working hard for McCain; prepared to bring people together kiss ass to keep my chairmanship if he fails

[cosmicone]

48. Who cares what Lieberfuk thinks and/or says? n/t

[LaurenG]

49. I am NEVER going to be led by the likes of Lieberman

He disgusts me and really belongs back in Connecticut digging in his garden. Go Away Joe - just go away.

[truthisfreedom]

50. Work that heart out, Joe, and we'll make organ mincemeat of it once you get it loose!

[demokatgurrl]

52. He's doing a great job for McCain in CT

Obama currently ahead 56:39

[JerseygirlCT]

53. Oh right. Joe to the rescue. Yeah, we're all waiting with baited

breath Joe for you to come riding in and teach us all about bipartisanship and working together...

right.

[Joe Bacon]

54. Bye Bye LIEberman

Fuck You, LIEberman! FUCK YOU!

[wordpix]

56. "Let's hope she never has to be ready" because she never will be!

She is too frigging stupid with her no. 6 kid named Zamboni. Geesh. Get the hook and get her off the stage, and Lie-man too
