Joe Lieberman: My Fear for Democrats Is That the 'Left-Left' Will Take Over
NewsMax ^ | 12-4-2016 | Cathy Burke

The Democratic party needs to find a leader who'll keep it from being taken over by the liberal wing — or it'll risk losing more elections, warns former Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman.

In an interview to air Sunday with radio host John Catsimatidis on "The Cats Roundtable," Lieberman stressed the importance of political cooperation between both parties.

"Here is my fear about the future of the Democratic Party," said the former Democrat who served as the party's 2000 vice presidential nominee. "In a way, relatively speaking, Hillary Clinton was representative of ... center-left of the Democratic Party, not the pure left."

I think it's already happened Joe. And I hope it's a turnoff to independents and democrats who can still think.

Joe needs grammar lessons, to learn how to distinguish between past and future tense.

Hey Joe and others like you: Time for you to leave the party that left you. You’re a Jew, you know, and thus your voice matters for sh-t.

And it’s not going to change anytime soon. As long as they keep blaming stupid tax paying voters, the electoral college, Bernie Sanders, James Comey, racism, sexism, and all the liberal boogiemen out there, they will be unable to honestly reassess what they’ve become and make any meaningful change. I see no evidence of it anywhere.

The Democratic Party can accurately be described as a socialist party. The problem is that most Americans today are poorly educated, know nothing about the true history of socialism and definitely have no understanding how capitalism creates real wealth, jobs, prosperity and ultimately social justice.

Yup. The only thing wrong with Joe’s statement is the word “will”.

Replace with any of the following:

Already, before expected time, before, earlier, once, previously, then, as of now, at present, before now, but now, by now, by that time, by the time mentioned, by then, by this time. even now, formerly, heretofore, in the past and just now.

LOL, I think everybody who reads this thread who has even a single conservative bone in their body has the same response… We’re all surprised Ol’ Joe doesn’t realize this is just closing the barn door right now.

That’s a GOOD thing. It means they’ll keep losing.

>>”In a way, relatively speaking, Hillary Clinton was representative of ... center-left of the Democratic Party, not the pure left.”

Hillary really doesn’t have an ideology anymore. She started out as Left-Left, but she turned into a rich old woman who hates everything that she can’t exploit for profit. She is basically a 19th century robber baron who made her money in the industry of corrupt politics. The Democrats committed suicide by choosing her as their nominee and now they will go full Left-Left because they are having a hysterical fit of anger at themselves.

I’m glad that they are party ruled by emotions. It insures that the House and the majority of states stays GOP.

That would be great news to us if a guy like Keith Ellison take over DNC.

"In a way, relatively speaking, Hillary Clinton was representative of ... center-left of the Democratic Party, not the pure left."

No, Joe, she's pure left. This shows that even in politics not being able to properly recognize/name your opposition is detrimental.

There was a time when I respected Lieberman, especially for his attitude toward faith and practice of his own.

I could never understand why he would team up with Gore.

Yep. They “don’t need white people” to lead them right now.
