Some Dems Want Lieberman Out of Party

For Joe, the key to morality is (evidently) not riding on the Jewish Sabbath, but late term abortion is pefectly moral (he is the worst kind of hypocrit, IMO).

[SoftballMominVA]

Just a question. If Lieberman wins, is he listed as Dem or Ind? And if so, does that reduce the number of Dem seats?

Connecticut for Lieberman

The arrogance of this title speaks for itself. Lieberman is not for anyone but himself. Time to go Joe. It'd be better to have a lame left looney-toons in the Senate than you who stand four square against conservative jurists, partial birth ban, tax cuts, you name it.

He'll still caucus with the dems, and has said so. It will be interesting if the Senate ends up 50/50 again though. Fitting justice if Lieberman remained independent a al Jeffords, giving the Republicans a 50/49 majority. You'd hear the loudest whine in political history from the Democrats. You'd see all the arguments Dems have made for the last six months shift 180 degrees overnight.

What part of "GET RID OF EVERY DAMN R(D)INO!!" does this Democratic strategy resemble most?

Yeah, we should just support the RINO throughout the race.

[OldFriend]

Heard that Joe campaigned on the last two Saturday's before the primary election. He is the worst example of an 'orthodox' jew.

[imskylark]

"Where is he so "moral"? "

Hey, he was comparing him with fellow dims. He is moral compared to most of them. ;-)

FUnnie how the news media has yet to call Lieberman a maverick.

>> Actually Democrats are just starting to act like Republicans. What part of "GET RID OF EVERY DAMN R(D)INO!!" does this Democratic strategy resemble most? <<

No, conservative activists are out to purge the party of RINOs who regularly vote with the Democrats (see Specter, Chaffee, etc.). Liberal activists are out to purge the party of fellow liberals who do their bidding 90% of the time. If the DUmmies were acting like the GOP, they'd be perfectly content with LIEberman's record (you don't see the GOP argue that Dan Quayle and Jack Kemp are "not real Republicans" because they voted the wrong way on ONE issue, do you?), and instead the DUmmies would be going after guys like Ben Nelson.

Occassionaly there are some nutcase "conservatives" who depise someone who does their bidding 90% of the time but voted the wrong way on one issue, but they are an extremely small fringe within the conservative movement and get crushed in their bids to "purge" good conservatives in the primary (For example, Ray "confederate flag hertiage" McBerry recently ran a single-issue primary campaign against solidly conservative Governor Sonny Perdue and Republicans voted for Perdue 90%-10% in the primary)

If this were the RAT party, Perdue would have been run out of town on a rail for not adherring to the "activists" on every single issue.

CT is a huge RINO booster.

[Rennes Templar]

His philosophy is of the Dims, his morality is not.

"Just a question. If Lieberman wins, is he listed as Dem or Ind? And if so, does that reduce the number of Dem seats?"

It'll reduce the Democrat seats, but it'll have no effect if he caucuses (and we know he will) with the democrats.

[Diplomat]

You're kidding yourself if you believe the two can be seperated.

[Rennes Templar]

Why are they shunning him?

[Diplomat]

If you are asking why the democrats are shunning him? I would assume for the very same reason Republicans shunned jumping Jim Jeffords.

Look, the guy is as liberal as they come. He's a rat through and through. This time he got caught in a DU trap.

If he cared about the will of the voters, he'd accept his loss of power with grace and dignity. If he cannot accept the will of the party he identifies with, caucuses with and spent his whole life apart of, then he should have left before he lost the election, not after. This is the same crap Anderson pulled in 1980, remember him? Nobody does either. That still doesn't change the fact he believes his maintaining this Senate seat more important than allowing for an orderly and fair election.

All he cares about is his own ambition and keeping the power he believes he is entitled too. Screw him and his arrogance. I took a lot of crap for stating that I was voting for Arnold and how he wasn't a real Republican. Guess what, this liar is about as far as one can get from being a Republican, yet I'm being told that this is who Connecticut Republicans should vote for because the Republican candidate is flawed. Forgive me for calling b.s. to all of this Lieberman crap. He's a sore loser just like 2004.
