Lieberman open to reunion with Democratic Party

[meegbear]

Source: TheHill.com

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) is not ruling out running as a Democratic candidate in his reelection race in 2012. Lieberman said on Thursday that he has been asked by friends about the possibility of returning to the party that nominated him for vice president in 2000.

With his reelection race not imminent, however, Lieberman said the only probability for now is that he will seek a fifth term.

“It’s a ways away,” Lieberman told The Hill. “I’ve been asked, ‘Are you running?’ and I’ve said, ‘You have to always assume that anybody in office is running until and unless they not only announce but they actually leave the office to run for reelection.’

“I’m an independent Democrat, and that gives me options,” he added.

1. As opposed to the alternative Joe?

I'll bet he wants to get as far away from the Republican party as possible

[Me.]

2. The "Friends" Asking That Question

are republicans

[mucifer]

3. He can call himself a dem now if he wants. But, in a few years it's up to the people of Connecticut.

[rurallib]

4. what about his boyfriend, McCain, the greatest American of all

according to Joe. Will Johnny let him do this?

[MUAD_DIB]

6. Regardless of whichever Democrat runs against Joe

he/she will just have to hang the last few years of Joe with his face pressed firmly against the ass of the GOP. The Cherry on top will be your aforesaid love affair of Joe with McCain and his speech at the Republican Presidential Convention.


Joe is toast...no matter how hard he wants to be the Democrat's bitch now.

What a rat he is.

17. McCain's little anal appendage

like a sucking Remora,living off the detritus of the Shark.

[unkachuck]

30. "Will Johnny let him do this?"

....sure, they're already printing McCain-Lieberman bumper stickers for 2012....they'll be running as hyper-patriotic, super-conservative, centrist-main-stream Democrats....after they've destroyed Obama and his agenda in the Senate....

Joementum gets jiggy with Commander AWOL

[shireen]

7. go away, Joe.

we don't like you

[Kingofalldems]

8. Does he still support Coleman in Minnesota?

How about McCain/Palin? He should never be included on any Democratic strategy sessions due to his penchant for being a traitor to his party. Never trust anyone who would support him either.

[NMMOM]

12. You said it kingofalldems!!

Most traitorius!

[NRaleighLiberal]

9. Kick his ass out of the party for good. don't let the door hit ya on the way out, Joe.

[No Elephants]

10. A misleading headline from the Hill. LIEberman never said he was open. In fact, he seemed to do

all he could to avoid saying that.

I'm tired of misleading headlines anymore. (Not the fault of the thread parent.)

[armodem08]

11. In the words of Jon Stewart:

FUCK YOU!

[olegramps]

13. At best he is a "useful idiot."

The Republicans used him and the Democrats can do the same. Use him and when he is used up throw him on the junk pile of history.

[placton]

14. Time foe Jow-mentum to

lead him over the cliff - since he drove his car there all by hisself AMF!

[formercia]

15. Joe suffers from Windsock Syndrome

he always likes to be on the 'winning' side.

Fuck you Joe Baby, you little scum-sucking weasel.

[hamsterjill]

16. Don't you see, Joe?

We don't want your sorry ass any more.

[Pab Sungenis]

18. No. Goodbye.

[Javaman]

19. and so it begins, LIEberman's reelection campaign.

"I'm a Democrat, really, even though I didn't run as one and abandoned the party after I lost the primary!"

he knows full well he's going to get his ass handed to him regardless of what party he chooses to run under. We as a nation will finally be done with that moron.

[glinda]

23. For sure that is what he is doing. Cannot be trusted. Another Dem should

replace him.

[Taverner]

20. Of course the party will take him back with open arms

He's been picking up the tab at the Hawk and Dove - since November - why would they want to put a stop to that?

[Kingofalldems]

21. He was great after the 2000 elections-

bowing before the GOP pundits.

[lsewpershad]

22. Can

this guy be trusted??????????

[goforit]

24. Connecticut needs to fire his ass!

[Rebellious Republican]

25. Fucking opportunist, thats all he is and everyone knows it by now.

On both sides of the aisle, no one will ever trust him if he does this. His political career will be over, mark my words. Just use him like the two dollar whore he is to get the 60th vote. Since Frankens seat almost seems assured with the recent turn of events in the Coleman camp.

[DebbieCDC]

26. Screw him - he's finished with the Dems

And the pukes won't have him either.

How sad, a man without a country. Well, he can always run on the Likud ticket for a Knesset seat.

[JerseygirlCT]

27. Big of him

Ass. nt

[lilyreally]

28. The hypocrisy is one thing...

but the stupidity astounds me. He honestly thought that a candidate who put all of his chips on Miss Alaska and Joe the Plumber was deserving to make decisions as the leader of our/his country?

*shakes head and wonders why politicians aren't given mandatory IQ testing*

[GinaMaria]

29. With the mass exodus of conservatives from the repuke party

to our party, it's not surprising that Lieberman would be one of them. He goes which ever way the wind is blowing.
