Fairweather Friend Joe Lieberman May Return to Democratic Party in 2012

"From The Hill comes word that Democratic-turned-Independent Senator Joe Lieberman may pull an about face and return to the party"
____________________________________________________

I'll give him a sawbuck if he doesn't.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL! I'll stop laughing long enough to say this: Joe Lieberman will never be trusted in any party he turns to and anyone that believes a word that comes out of his spineless, wishy-washy mouth is as big a fool as he is. Lieberman needs to retire and move on. You're a pawn, Joe. They use you because you have no sense and no backbone.

Joe Liberman and Chris Dodd, do not have my vote in the next election for Connecticut.

Lieberman is a true moderate and independent. You call himm wishy washy because he sees both sides of an issue. Either party would be lucky to have him.The ability to look at each situation by thought instead of party lines is a noble and rare trait in government.

throw this bum out

A FRAUD and a SKANK ... DUMP HIM at the POLLS.

I am not sure of the fair-weather friend label. Didn’t his own party try to screw him over by putting somebody against him because of his Pro-Iraq War stance? He had to either knuckle under and change his beliefs to fit a harsh party dogma or go it alone.

That is why he is an independent, he votes with his mind, not party politics. He angers both parties from time to time.

Joe can call himself anything he wants too, but his real party will always be Likud. Before you start with the anti-Semite comments, let me tell you that I'm a Pennsylvania Democrat who would vote for Arlen Specter if he ran against Bob Casey Jr. This isn't about anti-Semitism, it's about a Senator who puts another country's best interests ahead of his own country.

Oh Please

Mediocre attorney who tried the limelight with Gore...They demonstrated that likes attract.

Like Gore, Lieberman's suggested switcheroos as reported in the press are keeping him in the public eye...

But will the voters of his state go along ?

They should send Liebermann back to Jerusalem/Gaza.
He was the reason, why Gore lost to Bush!

I'm not sure Joe Lieberman has both oars in the water.

They should send Liebermann back to Jerusalem/Gaza.
Liebermann was the reason why Gore lost to Bush!
I don't understand the people who elected him again!
He is a turncoat of the worst kind!

Ed: people would be entirely correct to call you an anti-semite.

In general, he has not been at all spineless in any way, shape or form. Nor has he been a Democrat or even an Independent. Lieberman pretty much voted the Republican [and mostly Neo-con nutcase] line for years. He voted with Bush almost as many times as McCain did.
He was and is, let's not beat around the bush (:>))))] a traitor to the Democratic Party and he should have been drawn and quartered for supporting a Republican--especially one as conservative John McCain. He should have been booted out of any kind of powerful position in the Democratic party. He should have been booted out of the Democratic Party, period.

Although he has caucased with the Democrats, he has rarely voted for traditional Democratic planks. Now that the Dems have the majority, they should do what the Republicans do when a member of their party leaves or even threatens to think for themselves--snub him entirely, threaten his family, and spend tremendous amounts of money to kick out of public life--not just as a Senator, but as a Dog-Catcher.
There is no room for traitors.

I guess if a politician refuses to follow partison thoights he is a bum, sick, loser... He is independent and most people cannot handle a independent thinker. So sad.

Joe L. gloried in his role when the Senate was more evenly split, and now back in the Demo Party, as they struggle to get to that 60-Senator mark, he and a couple of other more conservative Demo senators want to be in the position of power broker(s). Simple as that. Run again? Are you kidding? My bet is on Joe running as long as there is someone there to push his wheelchair and adjust his oxygen tank!! He has ever only wanted to be on the "winning" side.

Only Repubs seem to be retiring (the cowards), since they don't want to be in the minority and on the receiving end of what they have been dishing out since 1994.

If he was a christian were should we send him, oh I guess jeruselem, how ironic

"FAIRWEATHER FRIEND" DAVID KNOWLES IS A SMEAR MERCHANT
As far as being "spineless" as some people assert, JOE LIBERMAN HAS MORE SPINE THEN 99% OF THE PEOPLE IN CONGRESS! It takes more spine to "say no" in a sea of ass kissing yes men,who say yes all the time for political reasons, and just keep their job! You can take that to the bank VICKI!

Moderate:

In what way has he been unwilling to follow partisan [I guess coming from one who cannot spell should tell you something about their thought processes] thoights [again, thoughts. See above]?? He has been totally partisan, just totally Neo-con Republican party partisan, for years. How has he been an independent thinker? He has voted Republican for years. Those that vote Republican should come out and have the guts to admit that they are Republicans. That isn't independent thinking. There's a definition for that kind of person. It is called a LIAR.
I, for one, have not called him sick, or a bum. He supported a losing candidate. That would kinda define him as a 'loser'. He wants to get back into the Democratic party [doubtless to turn-coat again; the Democrats are fairly slow to figure out that kind of thing, and it takes them nearly forever to get some fire in their belly to do to the Republicans what they have been doing to the Dems for years]. They Really DO think that bi-partisanship is possible.
With the Republicans? Please.
