I can't see Lieberman flipping unless the democrats pass a joint resolution for the destruction of Israel and then a massive appropriations bill earmarked for Al Qu'aida.
It is definitely possible, but I don't think so. If he did though, the 'rats would scream bloody murder. It would be a spectacle for the ages.
Put down the beer and step away from the computer.
He has stated that there is nothing the Republicans can offer him to get him to switch.
No, because aside from the Loons convinced themselves of, he's a loyal Liberal Democrat.
But he will be the swing vote in the Congress and at least when it comes to the WOT, that will be a far better development then had Lamont won.
no
Boy, would that be sweet!
BUT, remember the old saying about the "snowball in hell"?
Seriously, I would just absolutely LOVE to watch the circus if he DID switch!!
He might, depends on the RAT policy in Iraq.
I doubt it, but hopefully we can get him to help us on certain things. I expect massive gridlock in the next couple years, as the Senate can't do much without a 2/3 majority, and some of the incoming Dems in both houses aren't nearly as insane as Pelosi and company. A lot of the repubs that lost were RINOs that weren't always helpful to our cause anyway.
Not bloody likely, unless Harry Reid turns into an even bigger idiot than he already is and strips him of his seniority. Even then probably not--though he'd be one case where a RINO in the Senate would be a welcomed development.
Last night, in an interview, he said he feels "liberated". It sort of went by in the heat of the moment, but I thought, the old SOB, he's got them all right where he wants them - why would he give that up? LOL.
Today on Hannity, he said he promised already to vote with the Dems on organization, but freely admitted that the tenor of his old relationships had changed - when Sean pressed him as to whether or not he felt betrayed by the likes of Kerry and Kennedy.
He's ticked at them, but he's too good a politician to come out and call them names. He's a lib, but he may turn out to be a good ally in the WOT.
No. He doesn't strike me as the vindictive type. Plus his wife is uber-liberal. He wouldn't be able to go home. Or he'd be divorced.
I hope not, I don't want any more liberals. That's how we got into this mess to begin with.
Maybe if we get off our asses and do something during the last four months of the campaign instead of talking about polls and October surprises everyday, we wouldn't have to talk about crazy stuff like this.
None. Its over :(
It's a nice thought, but I don't think it will ever happen. Iraq aside, Joe's pretty liberal. He'll probably stay independent, though IMO it's not impossible he'll go back to the Democrats, if they ply him with enough perqs.
That depends on the final Democrat margin in the Senate. It he's the 51st vote, and Harry Reid hasn't kissed his butt sufficiently, then perhaps he'd flip. The GOP would have to have a ballsy leadership in place; why go over the wall to a bunch of wimps?
Not bloody likely!
I watched you in the debate for Presidential Nomination of your Party in 2004, when you were booed by your own party members for being strong on defense.
I watched as Jimmy Carter, tried to get you defeated in this recent election.
There is always a Home for you Joe in the Republican Party. Call out People, we will work out the details :-)
Stoopid is not. Zottable
