He's just showing the Dems the same amount of loyalty they showed him.

[SolidWood]

Thank you Joe. A liberal with brain and spine...

[gate2wire]

This should send the DUmmies into a frenzy.

As posted many times before, Liberman's voting record is envied by Barbara Boxer. He is an ulta-liberal on social issues. Only on Foreign policy is he a conservative and especially Middle East areas of interest.

He could run on a ticket as VP with Rudy.

GO JOE GO!!!!!

I guarantee you if it comes down to a Hillary nomination, he'll vote Republican for sure.

Blow that off. It's too soon for such blather.
If you're serious, though, Joe, voting GOP from your senate seat until then it's what's called for.

[standingfirm]

Stay tuned?

I wonder if he's thinking of running for Pres. as an independent.

It'll be huge if Lieberman endorses the GOP candidate. It'll be a significant boost in a lot of swing states.

To be honest with you, if McCain is the Republican Candidate for President, and he runs against Lieberman, I would probably vote for Joe.

But there's no way that the Democrats will ever nominate someone as rational as Liebernman.

But I thought Mrs. clinton had strong national security credentials? Snicker.

“I agree more often than not with Democrats on domestic policy,” Lieberman said. “I agree more often than not with Republicans on foreign and defense policy. I’m an Independent.”

That's a recipe for seriously big government!

It may be a warning shot to the Left that he won't sit still for them undermining the US in Iraq. He could switch parties and give the Senate to the Republicans. Of course, Hagel is concerned that we may succeed, so he might become a Democrat to assure we lose in Iraq.

I guarantee you if it comes down to a Hillary nomination, he'll vote Republican for sure.

I can't figure out what Democrat he would vote for if he puts FP ahead of DP. I mean, maybe someone like Evan Bahy, but he's already dropped out.

I guess he might vote D if we put up a cut-and-run idiot like Chuck Hagel or Ron Paul, but there's about as good of a chance of that as there is the D's putting up a candidate who's serious about the WOT.

[zbigreddogz]

You are right that he's very liberal on DP, at least recently (he use to be in favor of private accounts and school choice...then Al Gore got a hold of him, and now nobody knows), but his FP cred is second to none, R or D.

He might support the GOP - if its McCain.

[elhombrelibre]

He's being loyal to his beliefs about the enemy and that we cannot let the enemies of America succeed. The Democrats are being loyal to their belief in Bush Derangement Syndrome. The two beliefs are irreconcilable.
