Lieberman Urges Party To Go Centrist After Mass. Election

[Me.]

Right, let's listen to the guy who campaigned with McShame and stood on the stage with Palin.

“Eager to prove that the Democratic Party left him and not the other way around, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) urged his colleagues on Tuesday to move to the "center" following a humbling Senate race in Massachusetts.

"I think the message is from the voters of Massachusetts that people are anxious about the future and they're unhappy about what's happening in Washington," said the Connecticut Independent Democrat, during an interview on Fox News. "They're anxious about the economy, the continued high unemployment. They don't like all the partisanship and deal-making here in Washington. And they're really skeptical about the health care bill."

"So this is going to be a loud message from Massachusetts and whether it's right or wrong, I was impressed again by one of the national polls I saw yesterday that said two things; one is opposition to health care reform is very large among independents, unregistered with the party voters, and Massachusetts is thought of as a blue state and it generally does vote Democratic but almost 50% of the voters are unaffiliated so they've got the liberty to..."

belch

[Dr.Phool]

2. Liebermoron urged to go to fucking hell, by me.

[Tom Rinaldo]

3. He is just laying the needed groundwork to run as a Republican in CT next time around

He has to say "I didn't abandon the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party abandoned me" as a prelude for his open defection.

[Me.]

9. Has He Asked The Cons There If They Even Want Him?

Betting they don't, his numbers have been tanking.

[Tom Rinaldo]

15. Doubt it. His ego is too big to contemplate that type of rejection

And Republicans have nothing to lose by encouraging him now, it helps motivate him to play ball with their team in the Senate. But he won't make the final cut. Lieberman doesn't cut it with the crowd that dominates Republican primaries even if G.O.P. leaders did cut a deal to back him. And if he tries running on the "Lieberman for CT Party Again" he will get left at the also ran curb.

11. Joe, do us all a favor.

[Terra Alta]

12. Fuck off, Joe.

We don't need you anymore. And if Reid had any balls he would immediately strip you of your Homeland Security chairmanship.
I can't wait until 2012 when his ass is sent packing and a Democrat takes his place.

[BlueStater]

13. Democrats have already been acting like you.

It hasn't worked, dickhead.

I can't wait until 2012 when we can get rid of this motherfucker once and for all.
