Lieberman might address GOP convention
Posted: 09:38 AM ET



(CNN) — Sen. Joe Lieberman — the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2000 — is willing to address the Republican National Convention if it will help Sen. John McCain win in November, his office confirms to CNN.

In an interview published Tuesday night, the independent Connecticut senator told The Hill newspaper that “If Sen. McCain, who I support so strongly, asked me to do it, if he thinks it will help him, I will.”

Lieberman, who lost his Democratic superdelegate status when he was re-elected to the Senate as an independent, endorsed the Arizona senator earlier this year and has actively campaigned for the presumptive GOP nominee.

McCain has not yet asked Lieberman if he would address the Republican nominating convention in September.

1. What a pimp.

I would be ashamed if I had ever voted for that scumbag.

[MaineDem]

2. Lieberman is one reason we MUST elect more Democratic Senators

Don't forget our Senate races this year. We must replace as many GOP Senators with Democratic ones in order to complete neuter Lieberman's position.

Let him address the GOP convention (although I'm not sure McCain will profit by it) but keep him in mind and go out and help your Democratic Senate candidates!

3. Lieberman = big giant putz

4. You expect they won't.

Might be a good idea to let Lieberman stand by McCain's side when McCain gives the acceptance speech. Lieberman can wisper sweet notings into McCains ear. Wonder if Lieberman thinks McCains lips are sweeter than GW BUsh's. ?

5. this might be a stupid question but....

does liberman take the republican conservative stand on all issues or is he a one trick pony whose only concern is the war? does his love of isreal overtake his possible democratic sensibilities on everything else?

10. Last I checked his tracking stats.

His voting record by Labor polling organizations gave the jerk very high ratings. On economic issues he also supports labor. He is still a social conservative and has much in common with the fundies. And we all know about the war and security issues. He is obsessed.

12. it is hared to get by the war and security issues

although i wonder if it all to do with his concern for isreal (start to get rid of their enemies)

6. Zell Miller circa '04 redux

ughhh

[Colobo]

8. There you go.

[Buzz Clik]

16. My thought exactly. Tweety better sharpen up his dueling skills.

7. Why doesn't Ct. recall him.........then again the Dems keep him..

propped up the traitor.

[cyclezealot]

9. Federal officials can't be recalled

only of state officials, when that state's constitution allows. Sure wish it were so. Besides if he were some how recalled, the states' governor is a Repuk. But, then a Republican such as Lowell Weicker might be an improvement.

[Historic NY]

20. Lets send him to GITMO all expenses paid.

[SoonerPride]

11. I think it will further alienate the right wing base.

They still remember this as the Kerry running mate, so he's no rabid right wing foaming at the mouth conservative and it will further point out to them that the McCain agenda is to move to the center, which pisses them off to no end. Instead of pandering to the rabid red meat eaters, trotting out Lieberman can only furhter create a schism in the rethug ranks.

BRING IT ON.

[Lucky 13]

13. Those two albinos deserve each other.

Little fuckers.

[npincus]

14. they can KEEP him- TRAITOR JOE.

[Greyskye]

15. Gee, thanks Zellberman.

:sarcasm:

[Hepburn]

17. What a Republican whore that man is....

...:puke:

[blm]

18. How? Bill Clinton on LKL right before election told Conn voters how LUCKY they were

that they wouldn't lose by voting for either candidate - though Ned Lamont was the ONLY Democrat in the race.

That's why.

Just imagine all the casual voters in Conn thinking, "...well, if Bill Clinton thinks it's OK to vote Lieberman....."

[democrattotheend]

19. Wow...I think you might have found something we can all agree on

Is there anyone here, Clinton or Obama supporter, who has a positive opinion of Joe Lieberman?

[4themind]

21. So does he lose his super delegate status if he does this?

Due to the "zell miller rule"?

[NEDem]

22. He's even starting to look like Zell Miller.
