Lieberman to Hannity: I could "definitely" support a Republican in 2008

[BurtWorm]

He seems to almost say, "I am much more in sync with them than with the Dems." From salon.com's War Room:

Joe Lieberman, asked by Fox's Sean Hannity whether he could see himself supporting a Republican presidential candidate in 2008: "I definitely could, Sean. I mean, I've got to tell you, just to be a -- talk straight to you and those who are listening, so far in all of the debates and public statements, it is certainly the Republican -- the leading Republican candidates for the presidential nomination that I am much more in -- consistent with on the defining issue of our time."

Lieberman singled out John McCain and Rudy Giuliani for praise, and he went out of way of his way to knock John Edwards for saying that the "war on terror" was just a "bumper-sticker slogan." "The Arabs and the Israelis <know> that the war on terror is not a bumper sticker slogan for politics," Lieberman said. "It is a reality that they live with every day. And of course, we should, too."

And when Lieberman says that we should "live with it," he seems to mean that we should "live with it" even more than we already have: In an appearance on "Face the Nation" Sunday, Lieberman said that the United States should take military action against Iran if that country does not end its nuclear program.

8. Hey, don't knock Connecticut.

2. Watch Joe end up addressing the RNC in '08

Zell Lieberman anyone?

[Zenlitened]

9. You know what? That hadn't occurred to me. But I'll bet you're right.

It wouldn't surprise me at all. He's just about as bat-shit-crazy as ol' Zell. Less spittle flying when he speaks, true, but the nonsense he spews is just as absurd.

12. After 08....and we have a real President, a Democrat as well,

the Democratic party needs to move Lieberman's office out into the parking garage.

[Warren DeMontague]

13. He can stand there and smile as they convocate to "OUR lord and savior, Jesus Christ" again.

:eyes:

3. Earth to Harry Reid - kick this piece of shit out now

They don't need him since they won't stand up to bush anyway so Loserman really doesn't have the power he thinks he does.

4. I can't stand this f-ing bastard...I think I dislike him more than bush..

[libnnc]

5. Fuck you Joe

You want perpetual war? Sacrifice your kin. Pick up a rifle or STFU.

And thanks a whole helluva lot you wise, wise Connecticut electorate.

[Zenlitened]

6. Ugh. I don't know what to say about this guy anymore. It's surreal.

:puke:

7. I know Lieberman has never been real liberal, but he really seems like he's taken a hard right

turn the last year or two.

11. Joe Lieberman...

...is a vindictive, small-minded, frightened little man. He took one sharp right following September 11th, 2001, and another following the Democratic primaries leading to 2004. Now Hannity is his "good friend". Joe Lieberman can go F*k himself.

10. He's "definitely" been supporting a Republican president for a long time.
