Joe may be OK with his fellow senators, but not with his constituents
Sure, his fellows senators were more than happy to let him slide, but his constituents back in Connecticut are not quite so forgiving, according to the latest poll:
Lieberman, who faced a possible formal rebuke tonight by the Democratic State Central Committee over his support of Republican John McCain, had the approval of 38 percent and the disapproval of 54 percent of voters.
The rating was the worst of any senator in a Quinnipiac poll since Robert Torricelli of New Jersey was forced to resign in 2002.
The state Democratic Party rebuked him too. Of course, as Steve Benen notes, they really did was grouse a little and slap his hand. Pretty much what he's accustomed to.
Those disgruntled constituents are now the last hope that Holy Joe will finally get his comeuppance. Of course, it would be just like Lieberman to decide in about 2012 that he needs to spend more time with his family and sign on for the big bucks as an AIPAC lobbyist ...
now that's the jomentum that I'm talkin about.
It was because of Barack Obama's b.s. and "forgiving" Mr. Lieberman that I joined the Green Party. With that, it was apparent that Obama likes to play it safe and is a people pleaser of the sort that addicts in revcovery are told to avoid such behavior traits.
This "change" and "getting along" nonsense is empty without proving one's loyalty, etc. Loyalty is important not only in politics, but in life, generally speaking. Obama lacked a firm spine by allowing Joe Lieberman back into the fold so quickly.
Obama's endorsement of Lieberman back into the Democratic Party was the last straw for me. It reminded me of Nancy Pelosi's decision to not seek impeachment of the Bush-Cheney rogues.
As a Connecticut resident, I have long ago given up on Joe Lieberman. Lieberman is hardly in the state of CT and seldom holds town hall meetings. From what I know and have heard, Lieberman no longer even owns a home in CT, but rents an apartment. Lieberman has no loyalty to even the residents of the state of CT. I really resent the way Obama just welcomed Lieberman with open arms back into the Democratic Party.
Deep down, Barack Obama is very scared of criticism and that is why he speaks of all of this "bi-partisan" nonsense. Bipartisanship means nothing if you have to sellout your core beliefs or then again, as in the case of Obama, apparently have zero core political ideals!
What if Lieberman decides to run as a candidate of the green party? Then what will you do? Okay I'm just pulling your leg and trying to calm you down a little. Relax, smile and enjoy the evening.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Joe Lieberman is so entrenched into the criminal political system that it is unlikely that he would even consider joining the Green Party. And if he did?
I surely would not vote for him. Right now, he has been welcomed back your pathetic Democratic Party with standing ovations in the caucus room. Lieberman is your Democratic Party's problem. I am glad that you are continually held hostage by the awful and criminal Democratic Party.
if you want to stay marginalized
but then again....you have your principles
im staying as i am...an indy
then i get talked about every election cycle
I don't care why he goes away, just that he goes away.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
All it took was most of the republicans in Connecticutt voting for his sorry ass rather than their own man, a good dollop of Democratic voters who either weren't paying attention or have rocks in their head, and he won. that's the way I understand it, anyway. So 54% aren't diggin' them some Lieberman; all it took was a portion (or all) of that other 38% to put him back in office.
He's a super cockroach:
Bleach mixed with bug spray couldn't rid of this guy.
I'm just superstitious enough to hedge my bets.
The support of Barack Obama for Joe Lieberman over Ned Lamont was in direct line with all those Republicans who voted for Lie-berman in that general election. Then Lieberman snubs Obama in the 2008 presidenial election and is seen smiling, clapping, and pumping his fist, as Sarah Palin says that Obama "consorts with domestic terrorists."
Obama mzkes no sense folks. At the time Obama supported Lieberman for the U.S. Senate, he was supposedly against the war in Iraq. Well, Obama has since supported all the funding bills for Iraq as the U.S. economy plunders into the abyss.
I guess then, that Obama's support for Lieberman also showed that he had "rocks" in his head. If Lieberman is a "super cockroach," does that make Obama an equal "super cockroach?"
Just remember, president-elect Barack Obama campaigned for Joe Lieberman over Ned Lamont.
joe was obama's mentor in the senate
obama bought into joe's bs that although he supported the war, that was where his support of bush ended
obama did not support joe during the general, only the primary
Lieberman got support during the DEM primary from Obama, the Clintons and a host of other top DEMs. Obama even came to a fundraiser dinner in Hartford. To pay him back, Lieberman used his position as chairman of the Gov't Affairs to look into the tax exempt situation at a church in Hartford that Obama spoke at.
After the he lost the primary, Obama backed the Lamont campaign, abet not to the extent that they wanted. There were other US Senators who backed Lieberman even after he lost the primary - Salizer(D-CO) and Boxer(D-CA) - where two.
Of course,
I was thinking he'll prob get a much deserved raise working for some "think tank" that influences government policies. Seems to be a popular choice amongst the evil.
Joe doesn't have the integrity to resign, even if his approval rating was at Dick Cheney lows of 15-19%.
Holy Joe might be leaving sooner then most think. Connecticut voters are smarting then most think. Yes the Law Makers can't do anything to Joe because he knows their dirty secrets from the pass 8 year crime wave. But the Connecticut voters were made fools of and that will not stand. Look for Holy Joe to lose his Jewish card and then he will only have Harry Reid. Now Reid has his on hidden crimes that will come out so we might see Reid/Lieberman/Dodd/Levin Lobby Firm open soon. Many more will leave for various reasons like Pelosi who got her kick back from the White House for cooperation. Then there's Diane Feinstein who's husband was given a big sweet contract to push the current AG in office. Things have a way of coming out and Obama/Biden will let the public decided with they wont a criminal to represent them.
He is a zionist. I think all Jews should be, but if you are a US senator, you should put the US first, and I don't think joe is doing that. His zeal is for Isreal not the US.
I say "Nay"!
Study the symptoms not the virus...
Joe Lieberman's clout is fading fast.
Like the old man McCain, loser lieberman's days are short on this mortal sod it will soon be RIP Joe.
Repeat after me, "Joe Lieberman is NOT a Democrat. He was voted out of the Democratic Party in November 2006." Remember? Why don't you idiots censure Chris Shays while you're at it.
.
Study the symptoms not the virus...
bet that scares the shit out of holy joe
the fact that the central committee didnt say boo during the last 2 years of joe attacking the dems and being bush's lapdog says everything
That'll show him.
If being booted out of his own party in '06-or betting on the losing horse for President in '08-hasn't taught him anything about improving his market research, he'll continue to blindly embrace his diminishing appeal until his eventual defeat during re-election. In retrospect, Lieberman's actually worse off keeping his seat than losing his seat, since that's as far as he can go.
You bet Lieberman is "focused on the future" - his past makes him look too much like a turncoat who stood firmly and B.S.ingly against Obama.
It's too bad during the election the people of Connecticut did see Joe for what he really was in '06, or maybe it was just Republicans voting for him, but Ned Lamont should have smoked this assh*le!
Hurry up and send Joe that letter! He's running out of toilet paper!
That'll show him!
Holy crap, what is it about Democrats that eat away at their spinal chords? Are all their mothers jellyfish & their fathers a big slice of miquetoast?
How much more does an aider & abetter to the war criminals have to do to get them pissed off?
I still have a clear picture in my mind of this loathsome creature standing behind John McCain with a huge grin on his face and clapping his hands. It's good to hear his betrayed constituents have him at such low approval. The end of the line is hopefully in sight for him.
Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity. Albert Einstein
Hopefully, the people of Connecticut are aware of the process called "recall." Get the douchebag out of Washington!!!!!!!!!!
This post is a beautiful example of the cancer that is Joe Lieberman. The man does not represent the people in CT, who voted for Obama handily.
