Lieberman contributed to GOP Senate and House candidates.»

The fact that Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) supported Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in the presidential election is well-known. However, the Washington Post reports today that Lieberman was also supporting at least four Republican lawmakers. His Reuniting our Country PAC gave $5,000 to Sen. Gordon Smith (R-OR) and another $5,000 to Rep. Peter King (R-NY) in October. He wrote an op-ed in the St. Pioneer Press defending Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN), and publicly endorsed and contributed to the re-election of Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME). More recently, Lieberman has said that he fears “America will not survive” if Democrats receive a filibuster-proof majority.

Lieberman Backs Susan Collins, Gives $5K To Her Re-election Campaign
Apr 13, 2007

(The Politico) This will just make Democrats and those who love them, i.e. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and DailyKos, just absolutely crazy - Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) has donated $5,000 to the re-election campaign of GOP Sen. Susan Collins (Maine).

From CongressDaily (subscription required): "Asserting his status as an independent and his loyalty to a long-time friend, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., said Thursday he is supporting the 2008 re-election of Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, even though Democrats have already targeted her seat to try to keep control of the Senate.
"I'm going to support Sen. Collins' re-election," he said in an interview with CongressDaily reporters. Lieberman, who was re-elected last year as an independent but continues to caucus with Democrats, added that his leadership PAC has already made the maximum contribution of $5,000 to Collins' campaign.
"This is without regard to who the Democratic nominee would be," he said. "I would just feel that I was not being honest to myself and everything I've said about what our politics should be like now if, for partisan reasons, I didn't support somebody who I think is a great senator."

This is not going to make Lieberman any new friends on the left.

8. HELL NO

THIS MAN HAS HURT HIS OWN PARTY. ITS ONE THING TO SUPPORT MCCAIN. BUT GOING TO THEIR CONVENTION AND HANDING MONEY TO REPUBLICANS RUNNING FOR REELECTION IS DOWN RIGHT TRAITORIST. THE REPUBLICANS WOULD HAVE ALREADY KICKED HIM OUT OF THEIR PARTY. THIS IS TO MUCH. TO MUCH THE MAN MUST BE DEFEATED. I WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEMOCRATIC THAT WILL RUN AGAINST HIM. WHAT A TRAITOR. I WOULD BE WORRIED IF HE WAS IN OUR DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS THAT HE WILL GO BLAB TO THE REPUBLICANS.
