The GOP HAD BETTER ask Lieberman to speak at the convention. His speech will be ON FIRE. I can't believe they haven't asked him already.
Since he ran and was elected as an Independent,, let’em squawk.
The real screech will be coming from the right.
I wish Lieberman would switch sides now. All he has to do is caucus with GOP.
They demmies are going to “punish” Joe? How are they going to do that? By running someone against him? What a great idea! Surprised they haven’t tried it already! /s/
Not only will he speak at the convention, I expect him to announce during the speech that he’s changing his status to (R), and proud of it. VP candidate? Wouldn’t doubt it.
How can the dems punish him? He is an independent, right?
I hope he speaks as well. I wouldn’t mind him as SOS in a McCain admin.
It will be up to McCain. We'll discover whether he's more interested in winning or in "bi-partisan comity".
By that, I mean, if he's interested in winning, he'll invite Liebermann to speak.
Let's face it, McCain will have to have the (more-or-less) conservative Democrats -- because he's not going to get much enthusiastic conservative support.

Still, it makes me wonder why Lieberman chose to caucus with those backstabbers rather than Republicans. And I cannot see how Lieberman can ever be ON FIRE during a speech. He speaks in a monotone that puts people to sleep. the only way he is ON FIRE during his speech is if he makes a Zell Miller-type speech and announces at the convention that he is leaving the Rat party for the GOP. Otherwise, it will be no different than his "scathing" denunciation of Slick Willie before he voted to acquit him of all charges.
Senator Lieberman is shocked, shocked I tell you!
Fine, I'll resign, Get a job doing commentary on Fox or wherever pulling down more than the $170k you are paying me,
And....
Write a tell all book.
He would have better retirement than that girlie-mann Reed ever would.....
Could be another Zell Miller moment. He was just great at the last GOP convention, and afterwards, when he regretted he couldn’t challenge that Sissy Chrissy Matthews to a duel.
“Democrats may punish Lieberman for Republican convention appearance”
So?
Will they punish all of their own for appearing at the GOP convention? Including McCain?
Well, the Dems have already tried to end him politically, and now they want to silence him.
I disagree with Joe L politically, I do think he is a man of Character and he understands what is at stake in Iraq and in this election, if he wishes to speak, by all means he should be asked on stage.
Granted he’s not Zell Miller, but I think his support will mean something in November.
Liberman will be the lever used by McCain to lift the Senate out of Gridlock. Liberman and probably Grahm working together will make life hard for the Senate Majority leader, Democrat or Republican.
Lieberman is an independent, not a Democrat.
Stuff it.
NOTE: My statement was directed at the DNC peanut gallery, not you personally...
The Dems are evil, and evil knows no boundries.
Matthew 24:6-7 -
“And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.”
Lieberman reminds me of a battered wife. The Dems keep beating up on him, yet he still caucuses with them, as if he has nowhere else to go. It’s really very sad.
A note to Democrats:
While Lieberman may be far from a “Conservative”, he ditched the Democrat Party. If he is invited and elects to speak at the Republican Convention, they have no room to complain. They turned their backs on him. I am frankly surprised that he hasn’t taken on the “R” next to his name - as he is no more liberal than many of the RINOs out there.
