I just saw a scrolling news item on the Fox News ticker that said several house democrats had sent letters to Harry Reid wanting to penalize Joe Lieberman for supporting McCain. i.e. remove him as Chair of the Homeland Security Committee among other things. As expected, this is no longer the land of the free, it has just started happening so fast! I am stuned and clinging to my beeber-like device.
Have to say I don’t feel sorry for Joe. He knew the party he was in and he should have seen it coming. And I don’t want him in the republican party unless a new conservative party is started.
even so, he would be far better for the GOP than Lincoln Chaffee was, eh? and remember, even if his lib on abortion and tax policy, he’s pretty conservative on a lot of other social issues (he worked with ms. cheney and ms. gore on the Explicit Lyrics warning labels that are on every CD I ever bought that was made by Eminem, Ludacris, etc). And he’s to the right, IIRC of McQueeg on borders and language...
don’t let perfect be enemy of the good...

Liberman is in a box. I heard Dick Morris say the RATS want to dump him and if he turns Republican from Ind. his liberal state will dump him. Obama got 70% of the Jewish vote so how much did Liberman really help us? We have to quit this big tent nonsense and get back to being true conservatives.
Lieberman is a liberal Democrat on every issue except deserting Iraq.
If he wants to caucus with Republicans, fine, but he's not a Republican or conservative and he never will be.
maybe not a conservative, but he has shifted greatly in the last ten years... he opposed Slick Willy’s wag the dog war airstrikes on Iraq IIRC
