Lieberman backs McCain for President (Updated)

Haha, haha, HA HA!.

This is just too good. Lieberman does just a little more to alienate himself from the Democrats, while simultaneously causing a certain amount of discomfort in the party he's always been a secret backer of.

Lieberman not becoming Vice President was one of the few positive points about the 2000 election.

Update: While I'm on the subject of fake politicians, I'm noticing a lot of Paultards focusing on how great Ron Paul is because he's really, really, really, popular on social networking sites like Myspace.

Do you know who else managed to achieve massive "popularity" on MySpace? Someone who has over two million fans?

I'll tell you who: Dane effing Cook . That's who.

Dane Cook pretends to be a comedian. Ron Paul pretends to be a libertarian. The popularity of both is similarly inexplicable. I think there's a pattern emerging, and I'm not sure I like it.

  • If McCain lets it slip that he intends to make Lieberman his running mate and Lieberman has already accepted, he would probably see a sizable bump in the GOP primaries. Many of the reports I hear about GOP voters state that they want to vote for someone who can win in the general election. If McCain runs with Lieberman, then he might stand a better chance of winning in the general than Huckabee or Rudy 'leaves his wife in the hospital with cancer for another woman' Guiliani.

    But I agree entirely with your

    Usual problems with the crypto-socialist agenda, but I least I think him honorable.
    I'm wondering about this Ron Paul tea party business. Is he going to end up as Ross Perot redux, splitting the conservative ticket enough as an idadvertant favor for somHeIoLnLe_eAlRsYe?

    • ...is one of the few from the left side of the aisle for whom I hold much personal regard.

      That could be because the war-mongering slanderous jackass isn't from the left side of the aisle.

      You're welcome to him.

    • Left side of the aisle? Lieberman has consistently supported Republican positions and candidates since AT LEAST the 2000 vice presidential debate. Picking Joe definitely is one of Gore's top 10 lifetime mistakes.
      • Well, he stuck to what he felt right, and was elected by Connecticut despite the whole un-party party.
        As for Gore, like Bush, I think it will be quite interesting to see what history has to say in a couple of decades. Gore seems to have come from some Greek tragedy; I really want to respect the guy, but he continually baffles. Carter, too.
  • ...the party he's always been a secret backer of.

    That would be the Yisrael Beiteinu Party. Even shares the name of its founder. He's more anti-American than Osama. As an author of the Patriot Act, he hates our freedoms more than any of those Al Quaeda dopes. And to see Obama nuzzling up to him is very disturbing, if not entirely unexpected. It could explain his sudden rise. Connecticut should be kicked out of the union for keeping him in power. A horrible, dangerous man he is. Smitty, I don't know what coul

    • Obama's been courting him? That's bad news if true.

      Good commentary on why no Democrat wants anything to do with Lieberman here [salon.com]. I share Greenwald's bewilderment that the media still treats him as someone influential in Democratic circles.

      • Kinda the other way around [talkleft.com], but there was some flip-flopping [cbsnews.com] to cover it up. I can't remember where I saw the info, but they were pairing up like a couple of Amazon parrots over some legislation going through congress. To me they're a little too close for comfort. Obama's no freedom lover. As evidenced by his signing on the renewal of the patriot act and his willingness to give law enforcement all the necessary tools to "to identify and prosecute people who abuse the Internet to try to exploit children." (y

        • Unless you get Kucinich vs. Paul in November, you are absolutely, positively guaranteed "four more years" of the same old crap, but worse. You have my word on that.

          I absolutely disagree. This repeats the same old fallacies of the two parties being identical, and other such myths, that got us into so much trouble in 2000 and 2004. It also assumes either of those candidates are fit to lead the country. Neither have the charisma and leadership required to actually be President, even excusing the bat-shit in

          • Time will tell. It has already told me over the last 45 years. What I have seen is that amongst these people, the desire for power is universal, and they work together to achieve that goal. The disagreements you note is purely for show. Clinton was trying implement the powers that Bush enjoys now even without a 9/11. As good as he is the PR department (He's not called "Slick Willie" for nothing. He's one of the best, if not THE best in recent history), he probably could have pulled it off. Hillary might fin
