Lieberman, say what you will about the man, but he is charismatic

[Wetzelbill]

He's John McCain's ace in the hole. Think of all those voters Joementum brings to the McCain camp. I envisaged Dems and Independents flocking to McCain once Joe lulls them in with his.... oh lord, I can't go on any longer. Damn, even Lieberman's own stepson said today that he was going to vote for Obama. Ouch.

Say it ain't so, Joe, say it ain't so.

I can tell you this, I have dreams that McCain would pick Lieberman as his running mate. Of course, I have dreams about it, because everytime I start thinking about McCain/Lieberman on the campaign trail it makes me fall asleep, but still, I have dreams.

Man, when you can't even bring your own stepson's vote along with you, that doesn't bode well. That's called pulling a Giuliani. Ok, I made that up.

1. they seem like they are freaking married haha

[Wetzelbill]

21. I think that makes Lindsey Graham a little jealous

:)

[PoliticalAmazon]

27. Are you kidding? Graham is Lieberman & McCain's love child. n/t

[Wetzelbill]

30. I can't say how wrong that is that you said that

The image that gave me.. it's scorched into my retinas. Just not pretty. That has to be the sickest thing said since Liz Trotta. :)

[Texifornia]

2. He's actually a charisma sink...

When he walks into a room, everyone inside instantly becomes duller.

[lurky]

6. Don't get too close!

Once you cross the "Charisma Event Horizon", your personality will never escape. It will be sucked into the charisma singularity.

[Kaleko]

19. That happened to me once,

watching Glenn Beck for just a few minutes on TV.

Never again!

[lurky]

25. Could you see it swirling around the TV set,

like water around the bathtub drain? I hate when that happens!

[Kaleko]

34. Yes. This is when suckiness reaches a magnitude

that becomes clinical and many are sucked into a different dimension, never to return.

[mac2]

8. It's his voice that grates on me.

He talks through his nose and drones on and on. He's boring and ugly. What charisma but money and power behind him? those in DC say he is very funny and entertaining.

They said Henry Kissinger was sexy too when he had power. Cosmopolitan magazine even talked about what good catch he was in DC.

I don't see it. If either were "ordinary citizens" women would brush them off.

Both are dangerous men to our democracy. That's what I see.

[Wetzelbill]

13. I would say a vortex

It has been said that Joe Lieberman once listened to a recording of him making a speech and he woke up 40 years later, just like Rip Van Winkle.

[Withywindle]

17. It's like there's one LESS person there. n/t

[Kaleko]

35. Except not nearly as nice as the Void.

[hfojvt]

3. I said some things about him

but charismatic was not one of them

Okay, I was more of a compiler than an author, but it's probably better that way.

[Imagevision]

4. Yeah right! McCain is as charaismatic as Lieberman is...

[Wetzelbill]

11. .......

:boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring:

[Cant trust em]

5. I would be happy as hell to see a McCain/Lieberman ticket

If McCain had problems with conservatives before, imagine what's going to happen if he names a former Democrat to the ticket.

[ashling]

7. The Problem with that (for the GOP) is that they

would have to campaign seperately, and John needs to have Joe there to whisper in his ear.

[mac2]

9. Conservatives would not vote for a Lieberman.

[ashling]

23. well, yeah ...

there's that too

[Fovea]

10. I think he's holding out for McSame to promise

to give Israel the 51st statehood ahead of Puerto Rico.

14. Lieberman ain't charismatic

He's walking misery. The most depressing guy on earth. He inspires nobody but himself, and that's probably a stretch.

[Wetzelbill]

16. I should note, that I don't believe in the sarcasm smiley

Carry on.

[CreekDog]

15. say what you will about the man

but he is still an asshole. :think:

[billyoc]

18. WHAT THE FU--

:spank: :rofl:

[Wetzelbill]

22. I have that effect on people

I even know I deserve a paddle to the head from time to time. :)

[Neshanic]

20. Joe reads to him when he runs out of Ambien.

[Wetzelbill]

24. Wow, I can't believe I wasted one of my threads talking about Lieberman

I guess I was just looking for a way to get tired before bed.

[PoliticalAmazon]

26. I can't listen to Lieberman anymore (just like I can't listen to Bush Jr)...

Lieberman's whining tone has always been irritating, but now that he's McCain's bitch, I don't even try to listen to him speak anymore.

[hokies4ever]

28. I remember back when he was running for President

he was sitting in a diner with 3 young voters at his booth giving a boring interview to the press. One of them started falling asleep! :rofl:

[Eurobabe]

29. About as charismatic as a dishrag

When I heard that idiot whining during RECOUNT, I about threw something at the television. Maybe he was GOP plant back in 2000 as well? :shrug:

[PoliticalAmazon]

33. ITA. His whining tone grates something terrible. n/t

[Donkey_Punch_Dubya]

31. remember joe after the iowa caucus in 2004?

"We're in a 3 way tie for 3rd place!!!!!!" with a huge grin like he just conquered the Nazis by himself?

Translation: 5th place, not even that close to 4th place, and out of the race. Basically the moment when Joe's relevancy to the Democratic party ended.

[Wetzelbill]

32. Yes!

Was that Iowa? I was thinking New Hampshire? But I do remember when he did that, oh man, too funny.

[LiberalAndProud]

36. Joe ... (yawn) ... Lie.berman is zzzzzz.matic

But I despise him with passion.
