Stop calling Lieberman an "independent democrat"...
Edited on Mon Aug-14-06 12:48 PM by calipendence
There IS NO SUCH THING! He's an independent, but NOT any sort of Democrat. Don't let him get away this this or repeat this assertion of his without at least putting it in quotes, to attribute it to him and not others.

Raw Story, you shouldn't help him with this, as one of your writeups does here...

http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/White_House_Bush_declines_to_back_0814.html

The only people that are supporting him now are Republicans, independents, and "questionable" Democrats (in my book).

1. I call Lieberman the Narcissist Party nominee.
And anytime the MSM calls Lamont, millionaire Ned Lamont, call Joe Lieberman, narcissist Joe Lieberman. Got to drive home the message.

3. According to CT election law
Lieberman is no longer a Democrat, as far as election laws go. He cannot call his party "Independent Democrat" or anything using the name "Democrat."

HoJo is trying, as usual, to have it both ways. He wants the Dem vote, and the Independent vote, in CT. (He thinks he already has most of the Repub vote).

Yes, I agree....we ought to call him, and the media, on that EVERY SINGLE TIME he says it.

6. correct, he cares little for the will of the people while supporting...

7. Or be the first to officially start the "Corporatist" Party...
And then he can be the only honest politican about that fact even though a majority of politicians are in it already!

8. The next time I dine alone I will give my name as Lieberman
so I can hear them call "Lieberman, party of one."

9. Who's calling him that aside from himself?
Edited on Mon Aug-14-06 01:53 PM by MrSlayer
I've yet to see one person use it here outside of a joke.

12. Did you check the link I put in the post?
Edited on Mon Aug-14-06 02:46 PM by calipendence
Raw Story writer themselves did it, without at least attributing it to him by quoting it, etc. And there have been other articles that have done the same. We need to demand that it look totally like his creation and noone else aquiescing to his vision.

10. Another sign that he's actually a Republican:
This sneaky little Orwellian game he's trying to play with language.
