If Lieberman gets the D Nomination, we'll all vote for him, right?

[flashlighter]

I mean, we support the Democratic nominee? right?


:puke:

1. CHAAAeay

And monkey's could fly out of my butt.

[madokie]

2. geeeze louise

what're you trying to say :shrug:

[xultar]

3. OK who is the third party you want to vote for? This is DU. It isn't GU.

[flashlighter]

13. GU?

I don't know what that means. I'm saying that I have a lot of problems with Hillary Clinton, and I don't like the fact that some people equate NOT wanting her to be president with WANTING a Republican President.

Two very different things. Look, if I lived in a swing state, I may not have the luxury of voting "no confidence", but I do, so I won't be filling in an oval for someone I can't stand.

People here seem to think that's tantamount to voting for Brownback or whatnot, but my state is gonna go blue. I don't live in PA.

[xultar]

17. Hillary isn't in your post. You said Joe. If you have a point to make about

Hillary then fuckin make that point.

You don't like Hill fine. You don't vote for the nominee you're voting for the Rethugs to win.

FUCKIN SIMPLE.

[flashlighter]

20. No I'm not!

The electoral college is set up so that my vote DOES NOT COUNT. Do you understand that?

[xultar]

26. OK. You're all over the effin place. Perhaps some time away from the PC

would do you some good.

[flashlighter]

32. I think I've been rather consistent.

[xultar]

33. Caio!

[wtmusic]

4. *reaches for rusty razor blade*

It would be very tempting to support an indy candidate.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

5. Nice try, I've seen your work before. n/t

MKJ

[xultar]

8. I think they are a candidate for the new feature. I'm gonna wait till the end

of the night. And see where they go with this crap.

[KG]

6. heck, is there Lieberman for prez contingent on DU?

there was a sizable one in 2004.

[xultar]

11. See post #7. They are sniping @ me.

[xultar]

7. Just so you know this is what they are referring to. My reply to their post.

So who are you going to vote for? This is Democratic Underground...we support the nominee.

[mike_c]

18. who is this "we" you're referring to...?

"We" support the best candidate for the job where I vote from. "We" HOPE that person is the democratic party nominee, but "we" are sometimes disappointed-- and take our votes elsewhere.

[xultar]

23. That's fine. Take your vote elsewhere. I'm saying a vote for a third-party candidate

is a vote for the Rethugs to win.

Simple.

The OP is talking about me. They are taking a swipe @ me in their op.

[flashlighter]

28. not just you, everyone who said voting "no" in the Hillary pole

was tantamount to voting "yes" for a Republican.

[xultar]

31. If Hil is the nominee and people vote for a 3rd party they are voting for the Republics

to win.

Simple.

[flashlighter]

24. My point, exactly.

"We" are hoping someone who represents our values is nominated, instead of two people who don't.

[LeftyMom]

9. No.

Thankfully, he's not running and he'd never get the nomination, but no. And by no, I mean hell fucking no.

[LostInAnomie]

10. Ouch!

That's assuming that all the other Dem candidates have been killed in a bus accident right?

[LeftyMom]

14. I thought it was small planes.

;)

[VelmaD]

12. he would still be better...

on a whole host of issues than anyone the republicans would run against him. But thanks for playing.

[RaleighNCDUer]

15. Would we vote for Bush if he were the Dem nominee?

That makes as much sense - you have to be a Democrat to get the Democratic nomination, and HolyJoe is no longer a Democrat.

[skipos]

16. If we are going to talk about situations that will never happen

what about the re-animated corpse of T Roosevelt getting the Repub nomination? What will we do then?!? :shrug:

[mike_c]

30. "situations that will never happen...."

Lieberman came "this close" to the white house in 2000, and there was a strong contingent of Lieberman for prez support on DU and elsewhere in 2004. No, I don't think it likely that he'll be anywhere close to the nomination in 2008, but the OP's point is a good one, and not nearly so far-fetched as you suggest. Hillary Clinton is not that far away from Lieberman, IMO, and presents many of the same difficulties.

[whistle]

19. Joseph "Benedick Arnold" Lieberlouse will that fit on a ballot

[gratefultobelib]

21. Oh please. I'm not wasting my precious brain cells on this one!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

22. Didn't know we had a humor forum here.

[Robbien]

25. This thread is just a nasty stalking attempt

stalking is never pretty

[xultar]

27. Yes. Against me. IT think it is kute. Quite refreshing.

[flashlighter]

34. Oh get over yourself!

Go read the "Hillary" threads. People don't understand that many of us live in states that are already decided, so we aren't gonna be holding out breath and voting anymore.

[peekaloo]

29. I see him more as a "Turd" Party Candidate.

:banghead:

[tabasco]

35. Har har har!

You so craaaazee!

[Richard Steele]

38. Bwahaha!

[xultar]

36. What makes your OP pretty silly is that Joe is an Independent...he can't be a Dem

nominee!

[RB TexLa]

47. Actually the Democratic party does not require party registration to be the

nominee. It would never happen but it is not required.

[lonestarnot]

37. Heh heh heh

:puke:

[Warren Stupidity]

39. uh no.

[populistdriven]

40. if you think hill is as odious as zellerman you must really feel sorry for bill

[flashlighter]

41. I'm trying to make a point, I don't think Hillary is as bad

as Lieberman, but I won't vote for her either. Apparently, that makes me a bad person :eyes:

[Buzz Clik]

42. Good one. I think he should pick Robery Byrd as his VP.

Now that would be a ticket we could rally round.

[neoblues]

43. You're Too Funny...

That very well might be enough to stimulate a revolt (it would certainly be revolting).

[generaldemocrat]

44. Democratic Party has serious problems....

if it allows traitors like Lieberman and Zell Miller rise to the top.

The Democratic Party is afraid to hold it's leaders accountable. When DINOs get bashed for appeasing Republicans they say "We must have a large tent".

I don't agree with that logic, you can't allow Benedict Arnolds and Quislings to rise to the top in this party while true progressives are sidelined.

[generaldemocrat]

45. Deleted message. n/t

[spanone]

46. Never gonna happen. He's no Dem. Nice try though.

[Jack Rabbit]

48. Right now, that seems as likely as Lyndon LaRouche getting the nomination

I'll vote for my cat before I vote for Lieberman.

[stray cat]

49. If he is up against Pat Robertson as the republican nominee

you bet I will.

[patricia92243]

50. Best question that I have ever seen on DU!! I'll hve to think about my answer. But the question it

itself is an eyeopener.

[Golden Raisin]

51. When Snoop Dogg sings Rigoletto at La Scala!

[kevsand]

52. If I'm forced to choose between two Republicans,

then obviously I'm going to have to give the real one some serious consideration...

[Jacobin]

53. He's not a democrat, so the question is not meaningful

I voted for that SOB in 2000 and I get sick to my stomach thinking that he would have been VP. It is an utterly reprehensible thought.

[JerseygirlCT]

54. Pfft. As if.

He won't even have a shot in hell at re-election.

And he did such a bang-up job last time he ran for President. (Remember his three-way tie for third place in NH?) Heck the people in CT didn't even vote for him then!

He's cooked. His only hope for a continued life in politics after this term is jumping ship formally. That's why I think he's hoping to be asked to the prom by McCain.

There's a lot of buyer's regret here from the people who did vote for him this last time. Not that they weren't warned...

[Totallybushed]

55. I don't

really think we need to worry about that one.

[alcibiades_mystery]

56. I'd vote Jeb Bush over Joe Lieberman

When it comes to someone like that, it's not a matter of parties. He's a vicious, despicable little man, vindictive and petty. he's dangerous. I wouldn't vote for Joe Lieberman in a million years. Belee dat.

[diamidue]

57. Yep, we'll all line up behind a Zell Miller/Lieberman run

if they decide on a Democratic presidential bid. After all, they ARE Democrats and to disagree with them would mean that we support Republicans and don't deserve to post on DU. And god forbid, but some holier-than-thou poster will put us on his/her ignore list.

[Moderator]

58. locking...

This is flamebait.
