I hope Lieberman speaks to the RNC Convention.
I would love it! Oh what a gift for the Democratic Party! I frankly don't care if people say we still need him in the Senate. NO WE DON'T! Hasn't anybody noticed he has actually become more conservative since he won reelection? He has constantly betrayed the Democrats time and time again. With allies like that who needs enemies? This could potentially make him more powerless but then again, I would not bet against him joining the Republicans. I honestly think he will eventually join the G.O.P. at some point. Maybe in St. Paul this Summer?

So let us all wash our collective hands off this parasite! He has been a disgrace to the Democratic Party and it's time he went away.

4. Actually I thought of perhaps a drinking game.
Whenever he mentions "bipartisanship" drink or what catch phrases he uses.


Anybody for it? Any suggestions for the Joe Lieberman drinking game?

5. I'm up for it.
I suspect since he's a GOPher now, he will be using their language.

I agree "bipartisanship" will be used.

I also think "change" will be used as well.

And since they're in denial, they'll be using words contrary to what you'd expect them to, like words associated with Obama and not Admiral McCombover.

Words in this category can be found: here.

Hell, I'll copy/paste them:

share,
change,
opportunity,
legacy,
challenge,
control,
truth,
moral,
courage,
reform,
prosperity,
crusade,
movement,
children,
family,
debate,
compete,
active(ly),
we/us/our,
candid(ly),
humane,
pristine,
provide,
liberty,
commitment,
principle(d),
unique,
duty,
precious,
premise,
care(ing),
tough,
listen,
learn,
help,
lead,
vision,
success,
empower(ment),
citizen,
activist,
mobilize,
conflict,
light,
dream,
freedom,
peace,
rights,
pioneer,
proud/pride,
building,
preserve,
pro-(issue) (ie: flag, children, environment)
reform,
workfare,
eliminate good-time in prison,
strength,
choice/choose,
fair,
protect,
confident,
incentive,
hard work,
initiative,
common sense,
passionate

"Maverick" will also be used.

9. That's what I am thinking.
Holy Joe knows his time is up with the Democrats. The Rethugs' convention will be his threshold moment. I hope Joe steps through.

7. only after we're guaranteed a majority will I wish that
otherwise, it's just an unsafe bet. and we all know he'd fuck us if we stripped away his chair position. him not fucking us is the only reason he has his chairmanship in the first place.

Gore was an idiot to select him as VP.

Personally, I don't think he's mentally equipped to run a rest stop on I84.

10. Gore made a huge mistake.
Edited on Sun Jul-13-08 10:24 PM by Cascadian
He should have picked somebody else as a running mate. That should have been apparent in that so-called debate between Lieberman and Dick Cheney. Lieberman wet himself over ol' Dickie Boy!

8. WTF does it take to get the Democrats to recognize a turncoat in their midst. The Democratic
machine supported Lieberman against a true Democrat Lamont. They just don't get it. Didn't Sen Schumer give us AG Mulkasey??? I say frig Chuck. Do the Democrats need the turncoat to address the republican convention before they friggin figure it out that the bastards are not Democrats? Duh. DiFi should be censored as well as Schumer as well as the Nelson twins.
