My goodness.
They certainly do get nasty when somebody escapes the plantation, don't they?
What's that "Hell hath no fury ... "?
..he should win and then jump over to the Republican party, now that would frost their bunnies
Doogle
Radical Islam issued you an ultimatum last week: "Your message or your life." ;)
What hurts the most is that the Democrats will have to spend money and time to fight for this seat, taking resources from other races. Too bad, eh?
Lieberman doesn't undermine their message so much as he demonstrates the absurdity of it. In order for him to undermine it it would have to have some basis in reality.
So the Dims stab Lieberman in the back and yet still expect subservience and loyalty?
Sounds like a good time for Lieberman to switch parties. I'm not sure the Republican Party needs any more liberals, but Lieberman is obviously persona non grata as a Democrat.
The Hezbollah Democrats stabbed Joe Lieberman in the back.
Best call a waaaambulance!
If he continues to alienate his colleagues, Lieberman could be stripped of his seniority within the Democratic caucus should he defeat Democrat Ned Lamont in the general election this November
Earth to Dems: if Lieberman doesn't run as an independent he won't have seniority as he won't be a senator.
The Dems are definitely riding the Duh train today.
As the message is and has been "I hate Bush", Lieberman is a heretic.
Nah, he's really not Republican material. His views on virtually everything except the WOT are pretty liberal mainstream.
What he should do is be a "Founding Father" of a new party; one which draws its main constituency from social liberals who are none-the-less strong on defense. Clowns like Dean, Feingold, and a few other of Jerry's kids will find themselves in the position of the Green party hopefuls: catering to a statistically insignificant, but vocal and closed-minded, single-issue base.
"...if the Lieberman thing turns into a side show and hurts our message and ability to take back the Senate, and the White House and the [National Republican Senatorial Committee] manipulate him, there are going to be a lot of unhappy people in our caucus.”
That entire caucus has been unhappy since at leaast 1994. They have NEVER gotten over losing their power in the Congress. Never will.
Well I hope that the Dems plan on picking up SIX seats because if they need Lieberman to take over AND they plan on removing his seniority AND plan on voting to redeploy troops (not that they have that authority), what makes them think that Independent Lieberman will caucus with them?
Oh that RADICAL Lieberman!! Man, their anger at this Lieberman comment truly show the Democratic Party as way, way out there with the anti-American moonbat crowd. I'm beginning to think that the whole Party needs to be taken down like a pack of mad dogs. Really, what happened to these people.
Yes, I do question their patriotism.
"Democrats are worried that Lieberman may be giving Republicans a golden opportunity to undermine their message."
Their message? Pray, tell, which message?
The one that says "Think for yourself at your own peril!" ?
The one that says "We're more interested in working with terrorists than with our president!" ?
Or the one that says "Not only are we going to New Hampshire, Tom Harkin, we're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and we're going to California and Texas and New York … And we're going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. And then we're going to Washington, D.C., to take back the White House! Yeaaaaagggggh!!!" ?
Whine on whine on!
GO JOE GO!!!!
Actually, since losing, he has adopted rhetoric echoing pro-American talking points, which is why so many Democrats are in such a tizzy...
