Lieberman to Open GOP Convention

My, how times change.

This isn't really a surprise, but it is a confirmation. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic Party's VP candidate in 2000, now an Independent, has agreed to speak at the Republican National Convention, as noted in an update on the convention's website.

Yeah He's a great speaker - talks through his nose and whines. He sounds like Willie on the old ALF show - they can have him. His nose is up McCain'ts ass. You can see a picture of McCain't without seeing Leiberman licking his boots.

I love it! It really illustrates how the left-wing yahoos have taken over the Democratic Party and pushed moderates like Lieberman out.

Welcome aboard Joe!

Is this the same Lieberman that was Gore's VP mate?

What is he doing?

Maybe he should just take a nice little vacation.

Lieberman is moderate? Is this the latest GOP lie?
Joementum(I-Party of One) lost his seat because he spent years on TV reciting GOP talking points attacking the Dems. He just didn't have the guts to admit that he was a Republican. He was elected with the help of GOP supporters from NY, and Connecticut has a bad case of buyer's remorse.

His only appeal is to the Hagee/Cufi wing of the GOP.

CUFI has an ulterior agenda: its support for Israel derives from the belief of Hagee and his flock that Jesus will return to Jerusalem after the battle of Armageddon and cleanse the earth of evil. In the end, all the non-believers - Jews, Muslims, Hindus, mainline Christians, etc.- must convert or suffer the torture of eternal damnation. Over a dozen CUFI members eagerly revealed to me their excitement at the prospect of Armageddon occurring tomorrow. Among the rapture ready was Republican Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. None of this seemed to matter to Lieberman, who delivered a long sermon hailing Hagee as nothing less than a modern-day Moses. Lieberman went on to describe Hagee's flock as "even greater than the multitude Moses commanded."

Lieberman At CUFI Conference: U.S. Should Attack Iran, God Hates Israel`s Enemies

Despite popular outcry from the American Jewish community, Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman pressed ahead with his third annual appearance at John Hagee's summit for Christians United For Israel (CUFI), an evangelical group with powerful fundraising capabilities and long-standing ties to DC insiders including President Bush. Over 42,000 petitioners called for Lieberman to renounce the controversial televangelist as Senator John McCain did this past May when it was discovered Hagee was selling DVDs which included a speech he made implying that the creation of Israel was the result of God's plan for Hitler to wipe out six million Jews.
Although it is well-known the membership of CUFI adopts an apocalyptic theology calling for the annihilation of the Jewish race as a key part of the impending rapture, Lieberman's logic is unclear to many in the Jewish community who sincerely hope God will not exterminate them any time soon.[...]

This whining, backstabbing war monger has had his day. Let him go into history with the GOP as the POS he is.

Joe Lieberman has given a whole new meaning to brown nosing.
He couldn't survive a day without smelling several of McCain's farts.

Fitting that Elmer Fudd should open the Bizzarro convention for the Ventiloquist puppet. When you see McCain's mouth move you will know it is the Great and Powerful Oz behind the curtains speaking through him. And when the cross drops from the ceiling with an effigy of McCain on it and the crowd screams the Democrats did this. Well we know that Holloywood has done their job and Heston will come out of the floor holding his gun in his dead hand...and what a spectacular event. Not.

Joe is a heck of a lot better than the space cadet Al Gore he ran with. Yes, he sounds like Elmer Fudd. Yes, he is not a “lock step” Democrat.. Yes, he is a lot better than Ted Kennedy’s “Mini Me”, Chris Dodd. Yes, I voted for him in the last election against the left wing nut, Ned Lamont. I don’t agree with much of his politics but in a group of politicians that vote by the poles only he is refreshing. McCain is despised by a lot of Republicans for the same reason many Democrats hate Joe. I want my Senator to vote for what he thinks is right. I may not agree with everything they do but at least I know he is honest and has ethics. This is a lot more than I can say about Dodd. I don’t understand why everyone is after Joe when Dodd is the biggest sleaze ball there is. His father was run out of town on a rail and he is next. As Connecticut can’t get one of its 3 Republican politicians to run (even they are “RINOs”), Joe will have to do. The only reason Joe is a Senator is because the Connecticut Republicans put him there. Even the Jewish vote went against him (large group of Connecticut voters). .

Politicians and pundits talk about pandering to the voters all the time, this man is the poster child of voter pandering and the people of Conn. bought it Very sad. Switching from Dem. to Ind. just to retain his office. Dirt bag.

MCCAIN STORIES:
Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that
our war hero---a man of undoubted talents who was a role model for many
of his generation--is a congenital liar.
Tale by tale, McCain story lifted from a russian novelist, the case is being made he is compelled to mislead,
and ensnare his subordinated and friends in a web of deceit. Take a good look at how drastically
his carefully crafted images are lifted from Russia novelist. Senator McCain election year history book image
is that of a man out of a story book which each written line change at the drop of a pen.
Using poor judgment Senator McCain found himself in the middle of several real life situations he do not want to expose without the
use of a pen to change the story line. Some things in history John McCain cannot change:

When the Democrats have a greater majority in Congress, I'll be happy to help Lieberman pack. He can then take his vote and join McCain in the retirement home.

I wish you and others would stop trashing Elmer Fudd. Elmer Fudd has principles.

Personally, I think Lieberman sounds more like a junkie who hasn't scored in a month. And like that unfortunate druggie, he'll do anything to get what he wants.
