He is just a tease to piss off the Dems.. He is a reliable Democrat vote on just about everything. He has no intention of being anything else

If Lieberman were to become a Republican, it would be great PR. It would further highlight that the ‘Rat Party has been taken over by extremists (though that happened a long time ago). Problem is, Lieberman has cast a lot of bad votes over the years.

Seems like you should reconsider your position on Obamacare then, Mr Lieberman.

I agree. The only thing we can count on Lieberman for is the war on terror. Otherwise just a typical dimoKKKRAT.
To: Clintonfatigued
after making himself into a 10 minute hero story before he voted for obamacare
anyone else suffering from “Fudd Fatigue” now? Like, everytime Lieberman throws out another coy hint about party switching.
Give it up, Joe. We know you are willing to sleep around but always end up back with the boys in the democrat party whom you yearn to impress.
To: Clintonfatigued
Old Joe is nothing more than a self opportunist...a la Arlen Specter! He’s just a little better at it!

I don't see why he wouldn't. The Dems are openly hostile toward him and the party won't contribute one dime to his campaign. If he joins the Republicans, he'd at least get money and support from the GOP.
He'd be the squishiest RINO in the history of RINO's, on every issue except the War On Terror, but he wouldn't vote for Harry Reid to be the Majority Leader.

It would also underscore the lack of ANY core principles a Republican is expected to have.
To: Clintonfatigued
Maybe if we pick up 9 Senate seats in November, Lieberman will make the switch early (or at least caucus with our party) and give us the majority.

The absurdity of someone who scored a 92% liberal rating from the ACU in ‘08 switching to the GOP is self-evident. If every Democrat in Congress with a similar percentage switched to the GOP, one of those who could’ve switched would’ve been Zero himself, because he got a 17.

Hell, Arlen Spector and the Maine Girls have much more conservative voting records than Liberalman. Joe is a wolf is sheep’s clothing. Stay put, Joe!
To: Clintonfatigued
Take a hike, Joe. There’s a bulldozer headed to Washington, D.C. this November and it’ll be taking out Rats and Rinos in both houses. Y’all should start packing your things.

Whatever. Lieberman isn’t a contender but he is free to spend his money however he thinks.

This only confirms how close the ideologies are between the OP(formerly the GOP) and the socialist RATs. They are one big socialist Republicrat party.

Ri-i-i-i-i-i-ght. Where'd Arlen Specter and his "more conservative voting record" get us? What matters is the content of the character, not the quantitative analysis of the voting record.

LIEberman is as much a flaming socialist as Reid. LIEberman caucuses with the RATs.

What is that supposed to mean?
To: o_zarkman44
Let’s face it, what we do NOT need are some more retreads that have conned themselves into thinking that they are the GOP’s/country’s salvation. We need to keep our minds and hearts open to the newcomers, such as Sarah Palin. The old ones simply aren’t cutting it anymore.
