(WTNH) _ The Connecticut for Lieberman Party is calling on Senator Joseph Lieberman to resign from the U.S. Senate following his remarks made Sunday on CBS' Face the Nation regarding military action against Iran.
Lieberman said on the national television program that, "we've got to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians."
The Connecticut for Lieberman Chair, Dr. John Orman, called for Lieberman's resignation saying that he "crossed the line" and "no longer represents the views of the citizens of Connecticut."
Orman, a longtime critic of Lieberman, took control of the minority party back in January.
The real story here is that even though slurry Joe caucused with the Dems, they are STILL stabbing him in the back.
Joe, I not particularly fond of RINOs but I’m pretty sure no Republican will ever be elected in Connecticut, why don’t you give those Dems the green weenie they’re asking for and switch to the dark side with us?
I can’t see how he could possibly hurt us, but that would put a serious whuppin on the dems, so I’m for it!
How did that work, exactly?
What we have is an abandoned vehicle (Connecticut for Lieberman Party) which served its purpose and was then taken over by a critic for the very purpose of this publicity stunt.
Kind of like the jerk who moved to Crawford, Texas and started a newspaper so he could proclaim "Bush's own hometown newspaper is against him."
Of course, in Bush's case, it may now actually be true with his unwillingness to abandon shamnesty for illegal aliens.
How did this idiot “take over” lieberman’s own PP..?
So a Democrat who didn't run the Lieberman-Independent Party when Lieberman was elected as an Independent lashes out at the party's only candidate now that the Rat has ascended ranks.
I’d have trouble trusting him, but I’d laugh if he switched to Republican Party and switched the balance.
He got the election, you didn't ... STFU (to Orman)
These are the same yahoos who decry the war on Saddam's Iraq as the US invading a sovereign nation while at the same time saying that we must open our borders to the world's emigrants.
Orman, a longtime critic of Lieberman, took control of the minority party back in January.
OK.
How and why does a "longtime critic" of Lieberman "take control" of a pro-Lieberman party?
If Lieberman DID resign, what would they name the party? The "Connecticut erstwhile for Lieberman" party?
Welcome to America.
Where a Stalinist can become VP (under FDR) and homosexuals can infiltrate the Church to change policy.
It is called subversion. Takeover from within.
That's the beauty of it. They'd be able to run an anti-Lieberman candidate against Lieberman AND use his name to do so.
This is strange (from Wikipedia):
On November 15, 2006, John Orman changed his party registration from Democratic to the Connecticut for Lieberman Party. Orman, a professor of politics at Fairfield University, had briefly challenged Lieberman for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination in 2006.
Party rules were filed with the Connecticut Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz on December 21, 2006 by Orman. According to Ted Bromely, a state elections attorney who works for her office, then said, “If someone wanted to challenge it, they’d have to go to court.”
On January 12, 2007 Korchin filed opposing party rules with the secretary of state. On January 17, 2007, Korchin received a letter from a lawyer in the secretary of state’s office, stating that the state had “very limited jurisdiction” over intraparty battles, and was not taking a position over just who was in charge. In March Korchin began changing the Wikipedia entry on the party to reflect his role and minimize Orman’s claims.
At a meeting in Milford in January, 2007, Orman and Korchin appeared, each claiming to be the party chairman. Korchin left and said he would hold his own party meeting in August, after which the Milford meeting elected Orman as chair.
Trotsky would be proud of Orman.
“It sounds like some Democrats made a hostile take over of Lieberman’s new party.”
.
YOU GOT IT....!!!!!
.
AND did you notice how the scumbag liberals AGAIN go against the will of the people??
Some of the new rules Orman adopted for the Connecticut for Lieberman party included:
1.If you run under Connecticut for Lieberman, you must actually join our party.
2. The party will nominate people for office who have the last name of Lieberman and/or who are critics and opponents of Senator Lieberman.
3. If any CFL candidate loses our party’s nomination in a primary, that candidate must bolt our party, form a new party and work to defeat our party’s endorsed candidate.
4. We in the CFL intend to run the same candidate for three different jobs at the same time, ie. House, Senate and Governor.
I think Joe will form the Judean People’s Liberation Front, having been kicked out of the People’s Front for the Liberation of Judea. Or something like that...
Splitter!!!!!!
Orman, a longtime critic of Lieberman, took control of the minority party back in January.
Is that like a Cindy Sheehan book signing party?
How DARE Joe act and talk like an American patriot? The SHAME! As if the Michael Moore crowd reperesents the voters of Connecticut?
[Every time I here a Dem whine, I dance a jig.]
Make 'em whine Joe! Yeah!!!!!
lmao.......that was funny
What HAVE the Romans done for us anyway! Other than roads, sanitation,...
This sounds like the way the Cult Awareness Network was sued into bankruptcy and taken over, so the organization that was founded to warn against the nefarious behavior of religious cults is now run by Scientologists. FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_Awareness_Network
Perhaps Lieberman will now accept the reality that the DemoncRat party is full of people who wish to harm this country and leave them completely. While I don’t trust Lieberman, he does have the right position regarding the WOT.
