Here's the article I read that had wanted to link to the title: www.salon.com

From the headline -- "Joe-mentum slants too far right for Democrats, but it would (believe it or not) move the Republicans toward the center." (By Walter Shapiro)

Hell Joe LIEberman and McCain act like two star struck lovers. I wouldn't doubt McCain picks Him after all Joe's hand is up His rump semi controlling His mouth.

Well when was the last time the two bestest buddies of the 04 election (Kerry and Edwards)
hang out?

Shirts, they weren't great friends, and Kerry realized a little too late just who Edwards was looking out for. Why didn't he endorse his pal Edwards this time around during the primaries?

If ever there was a slam against a candidate, it's when your former head of ticket quickly endorses another guy as Kerry did early in the campaign.

Kerry pulled a Gore with Edwards being in LIEberman's place.

Larry

No No No, I remember all kinds of quotes and stories about how they were like two kids, BFF and all that. Hitting the drive thru at Wendy's and tossing it in the trash and eating encrusted salmon on the bus made by a private chef. But you're right they weren't friends.

/"And we got better hair too!"

Just like when Joe ran for VP as a Dem he would hedge his bet and keep his Senate seat for after they lose the election. Lieberman could be the first to lost both as a Dem and as a Rethug.

McCain/Lieberman?!?

Ain't gonna happen. Folks would have a field day. McCain needs his "corrector" around all the time! 2 old guys for the price of one!

Go Joe, nothing like an uber-liberal pro-abortion VP running mate for a GOPper with his clock running out to inspire the Righties to vote for McSame.
But it'd killl the GOPper "obama is a liberal" talking points and since a vast majority of the electorate oppose the war,(the only thing the Righty's and Joe agree on), what, seriously, would Joe bring to the table?
Matzoh balls?

Joe Loserman and McLame?

Bwa hah hah hah hah hah hah!

America is already trending towards being Israel's bitch w/o making it official.

In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.

In GOPherland it's more a case of the senile leading those with Alzenheimers.

Be Well.

PS: Novak is a fucking traitor and anything he wants is bound to be bad fer America.

Be Well.

I wonder when Novak will 'out' Lieberman too.

..........another gift to Obama..........

......."..... well ...it was either Lieberman or Carrot-top.........and I didn't want Carrot-top showing up my hair......so......."

McBush

A McCainn/Liebermann ticket!

Sweeet!

Let's call Mayflower right now to start moving the White House to Tel Aviv.

Perfect.

There is no way that McCain will pick Joe as the VP.

Absolutley, positiveley, 100%, Sure that Joe will not be the pick.

First he is too liberal and he is NOT the future of the Repub party.

Second--Joe already ran and lost with Gore.

Third--Joe brings nothing to the table--he can't carry a state--let alone his own if he were on the ticket.

I really like Palin from Alaska--although Alaska is already a red state--she would be terrific.

The likely short list is Pawlenty, Crist, Sanborn--maybe even Hailey Barber of MS..Jindal is great but young.

What's a Klan member to do? Black man or Jew?

I really like Palin from Alaska--although Alaska is already a red state--she would be terrific.

Actually Gov Palin is good choice.

She's Competent, not Crazy and as a bonus she's pretty Cute.

Be Well.

The McCain campaign ticket's kiss of death -- picking Neocon (and more Knesset than U.S.) Senator Joe Lieberman as his VP on the recommendation of the traitor Bob Novak who put U.S. national security at risk by outing CIA agent Valerie Plame.

Yeah, that's the ticket -- straight to hell.

Novak is a fucking traitor and anything he wants is bound to be bad fer America.

I screwed up on the headline when posting this. The original was about McCain wanting Lieberman, not Novak.

A McCain/Loserman ticket could be very interesting in these peculiar times, and I'd love to discuss the merits of it.

It's too bad that DR members are so full of partisan bigotry; does anybody know of a site where people of different views can actually discuss such things with thoughtful ideas, instead of the crap that gets thrown here?

Honest request.

I'd still come here and throw the monkey feces back into the Liberal cage. That's all good fun, but I'd also enjoy an honest, intelligent discussion

Oh, brothah.

I can see it now. First McCain makes a speech, then Lieberman makes a speech....

....and the vibration from the snoring of millions of viewers makes California fall into the ocean.

Seriously, these are the two worst speech-makers in the history of American politics, which includes some real lulus.

Verm: I'm laughing so hard, snot is coming out of my nose! Thanks, dude! You made my day!

Next time, add just a touch more earnestness to your superciliousness.

"I'd love to discuss the merits of it.

Funny Flag!!

"snot is coming out of my nose!"

Sag, I'm sure you've become accustomed to that by now. Along with the drool

"snot is coming out of my nose!"

Aqualung? Is it you?

Funny Flag!!

Everyone's favorite crack whore deigns to post to me!

I forget the story I heard about you, but the end is ....

"If you help me find my keys we can drive out"

No.

"If you help me find my keys we can drive out"

Hell, if we can drive let's head to the airport and fly outta this place.

They might as well. Hell they practically act like Husband and Wife.

McCain: We know that Iran is training Al Qaeda.

Lieberman: Now dear that's wrong Iran is training extremists.

McCain: Thanks darling I don't know what I would do without You.

Lieberman: Anytime Babe.

I'm sure I was in 4th grade with you guys.

Whoever McSame picks will be the answer to the trivia question:

Who was John McCain's running mate when he lost the presidential election to Barrack Obama in 2008?

The original was about McCain wanting Lieberman, not Novak.

You used the words "McCain" and "Novak" and "Want" and "Mate" all in the same sentence?

Blech.

Be Well.

I keep telling you guys the consensus from the power-tie investment types in back seat of the limo is that McCain's pick will be Portman from Ohio. He's on all the Big $$$ committees and made his bones being a quite accomplished fund raiser for the GOP. Even when McCain loses, Portman will have become a household name for a 2012 bid.

I bet a six pack of import that it's Crist.

I bet a six pack of import that it's Crist

~Beavis Christ.

Would NOT take that bet.

Florida is the biggest electoral state out of the eight swing states that the GOPhers have stated that they are gonna concentrate on this time around ergo Charlie Crist is at the top of that short list.

Be Well.

chris,
I am a little disappointed in your anti-semitic remark which it was.

and look two things.

I LOVE LIEBERMAN and think he would be okay.....anyone who tells the DNC to eat shit and die because they wouldnt support him and still BEATS THE SHIT out of the DNC selected candidate is okay in my book and I am nowhere near as RACISTS, or PREJUDICED< or BIASED, or ANTI SEMETIC As many of you liberals are here on the DR........dont believe me....just read this thread for that truth...

AND it seems to me that one of you socialist brainiacs would have pointed out that IF elected, we would have a moderate to left republican president and an INDEPENDANT.....something that many of you are proud to call yourselves.....so wouldnt that be as far away from the right as you could get without a president obama? seems to me that it would be as close to a substutute as you could get......

I LOVE LIEBERMAN and think he would be okay
BUSHLOVERTWO

You think wrong.

t's too bad that DR members are so full of partisan bigotry; does anybody know of a site where people of different views can actually discuss such things with thoughtful ideas, instead of the crap that gets thrown here?

Go ahead and try the freeper site, verm, however, be warned-they make even YOU seem mild.

bushblowertoo talkin' about LIEberman being Independant?
bwahaha....
He's soo far to the right-he shares pants with dumbass, and McTainted ain't anything NEAR moderate-he's as reich wing now as they come, especially since he went "all in" and started "trouser hopping" with both dipshit and LIEberman.

You see-bushblower-that's what's wrong with your thinking...you DON'T think-you listen to flush rimjob and that crowd to tell you what to think.

McCain is going to have a problem finding a running mate--any running mate. McCain will lose big in November, and no one wants to be an also-ran on a losing ticket.

BB, some polls have it a close EV race, with McCain winning the most EVs. If Lieberman helped lock Florida and pushed Connecticut to the Red column, then it might be a strategy well worth McCain's consideration. IMHO.

What happened to McCain's dear friend John Kerry? Oh Kerry has flip flopped on McCain as a friend.

I LOVE LIEBERMAN and think he would be okay
BUSHLOVERTWO

You think wrong.

so I THINK wrong....you cant say that YOU think Im wrong or that my opinion is based on this or that or something like that.
you, as a liberal are TELLING me that I think wrong?????

typical liberal, elitist, sanctamonious bullshit rhetoric.....

He's soo far to the right-he shares pants with dumbass,

and yet he caucuses with the socialist dems...

You see-bushblower-that's what's wrong with your thinking...you DON'T think-you listen to flush rimjob and that crowd to tell you what to think.

hey dick.....dont EVER try and tell me that I dont think about the issues after reading and listening to much more than cnn or air america or talking points from any media in the country not named fox......
NOONE TELLS me what to think, so you can take your liberal nonsense and sit on it.......
my complete list of media and other venues that I listen to and read are in my archives for you to see and I am willing to put up odds that they are far more diverse politically than ANYTHING you read or listen to.......

bobotto said.....

what happened??

here is what I said to bobotto

You think wrong.

Posted by BobOtto

typical liberal, elitist, sanctamonious bullshit rhetoric.....

BUT you said all that in only three words.
thats pretty good.......

The GOP would probably love to have JEB as McCain's second banana but the name is akin to a rattlesnake bite at the moment.

If I had to make a guess I'd say Charlie Crist would be the GOP's choice. Of course they'll throw him under the bus in 2012 if they decide that the heat's off and and it's safe to mention the name of Bush again.

Since it's a near certainty that the neo-cons are going to lose this go-around, I'm sure they're strategy is to do everyting they can to screw with Obama for the next four years.

Should they be successful, they'll have two choices all prepped and primed to be their next puppet president.

**** McCain is going to have a problem finding a running mate--

Barber would make a lot on the right happy. the extreme religous conservatives and he railed against the Feds for the Katrin mess - to me, of that list, Barber would be McCain's best choice.
If you want Democrats to vote in droves against you, then sure, put Lieberman on the ticket - you also won't make Baptists or many other southerners happy.

you, as a liberal are TELLING me that I think wrong?????

See that's where YOU'RE wrong.
I'm not liberal.
Why does your brain automatically go into "sports mode" with the your team/my team lib/con stuff?

I'M AN AMERICAN!
not a liberal.
not a conservative.

I'm an American, and Joe Lieberman clearly doesn't represent America.

whatever you are doesnt matter to my point and the least you could do was recognize the compliment.

"and all in three words"

my point is that on this site, and even in politics in general, the left or nonright if you want to be called that will always try and tell us that the only way we are "Thinking right" is if we agree with them and that is simply not the case.

BUSHLOVERTWO, well taken.

Actually, what I meant wasn't that you actually "think wrong" (as I stated in my smartass remark - apologies) but rather, that I don't agree with your open mind concerning Joe Lieberman.

It's just a Joe Lieberman thing.

One would think in all of CT, they could find a more competent representative than Joe Lieberman.
