I've been on a couple of RW boards today, and the Republicans are all

[CatWoman]

pissed at Lieberman's ouster.

They are all singing him praises. I suppose so, as Lieberman sucked Bush's wee wee every day for the past five years.

So, using this as gauge, plus the fact that Rove and Bush want to "personally" help Lieberman, this leaves me to conclude that the Time story that Wicket has posted in this forum is pure, unadulterated bullshit.

Lieberman gave Bush a lot of much needed "cover". Chimpy could always claim false examples of "bipartisanship" as long as Lieberman came running to him every time Chimpolini whistled.

Fuck Time.

And Fuck Loser Lieberman, too.

[Joanne98]

1. I agree.

[NV Whino]

2. Seconded

All in favor?

[Hugin]

5. After the Coulter cover abomination...

I haven't *touched* a Time.

[Kutjara]

3. Lieberman hasn't lost yet.

He can still be Diebolded back into power in November, as an 'Independent.' Then it's just a short hop, skip and jump into the waiting arms of the Repugs, where he can use his 'independence' to do their bidding full time.

[MrSlayer]

9. No Diebold in CT.

They use the old fashioned lever machines. Holy Joe is going to have to pull it off fair and square. Or at least as close to fair and square as we get in America.

[Kutjara]

11. That's a relief. We just have to keep a beady eye on the vote counters.

[EFerrari]

12. Unless this development makes CT come under scrunity

for "HAVA" compliance.

:(

[Mind_your_head]

15. Don't you mean "Good old-fashioned lever machines" ;-)

:-)

[hfojvt]

24. but then he can no longer give them cover

he no longer is "the non-partisan Democrat" and in fact, his very independent run proves that he never was.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

4. If they love him that much, why didn't they vote for him and Al?

[CatWoman]

6. bravo!!!

excellent point!!!

:hi:

[proud patriot]

7. they won't have lieberman to hold up as

a Democratic poster child on fox news or rush anymore.

[Hugin]

10. That fact alone makes all of this worthwhile...

Scratch one strawman.

[calimary]

26. Yes, they will. Pox "news" will probably hire him as a commentator.

:eyes:

[xchrom]

8. bushco represents an extreme right wing politics

and lieberman -- as the democratic party crossover provided that extremism a cover.

that alone should have handed him his hat -- and though i didn't vote in conneticut -- it did.

[NVMojo]

13. Listen, I've had repugs yapping in my face for months about LIEberman

and how mean the Democratic Party is to him. This is not news, just more of the bullshit coming out of the Bush leadership and the GOP. Asshats, all of them.

[VolcanoJen]

14. Sore Loserman, Sore Loserman, Sore Loserman.

Never thought I'd ever enjoy saying that.

Oh, how times have changed!

[CatWoman]

16. Tee Hee

I'm giddy :hi:

[VolcanoJen]

19. It feels f'n good, doesn't it?

I forgot what this feels like. Winning.

Me likey.

:hi:

[stepnw1f]

17. No More Joe the GOP Excuse... Thank God!

One less weapon for them to use.

[Cleita]

18. It really doesn't make sense, does it?

[applegrove]

20. Disagree. This is part of Rove's 30 Year Empire. He only wants

a percentage of each part of Democrats base. Black Pastors and their flocks in Ohio wemt maybe 4 or 6% more GOP over the gay/abortion issues (???). By wedging Israeli Hawks from the Dem base.. GOP has done a great thing for themselves.

Rove got control of Texas by flipping a few key Democrats... focussing on them... and then the fans of those Dem leadership followed. Well a percentage of the fans.

Lieberman is the same thing.

It is all just slicing and dicing and so much fun..playing with people's lives.

[CatWoman]

23. huh?

:crazy:

[applegrove]

25. UM... big tent used to include "a few hawks"? It is all about making

the Dem base and big tent smaller.

Remember the Dems who supporter of MOVE ON . ORG make up 25% of the electorate. 35% are solid Repuke base. That leaves 40% up for grabs. And Israeli hawks make up a small percentage of that. But an important percentage.

The battle is to make your party a big tent. Pull up the stakes and walk away secure in the knowledge that Dems cannot win the Presidency or the House... without getting a bigger portion of the 40% than they did in the last elections.

Watch Rove slice and dice your Democratic coalition. And then laugh about it. I'm not happy with Lieberman's hawk votes.. but he was not alone in Democrats who wanted to stay the course. And He was solidly democrat on 85% of issues. It is a loss for us. And a win for the GOP.

We lost a part of our Democratic base. And if you want power... that matters.

[calico1]

21. That's funny. Wasn't it the Repukes

who came up with the nic "SoreLoserman?" Funny how they didn't like him then but do now. :eyes:

[wicket]

22. Amen to that Catwoman!

:kick:

[mitchum]

27. Lieberman is so comfortable cozying up to nazis...

he would have told them that Anne was hiding behind the bookcase

[Lerkfish]

28. as we used to say "cheater's proof", whenever you accuse someone

of something, they deny it, and then the very next point they do what they denied.

Lieberman claimed he wasn't in Bush's pocket and not a darling of the neocons. By pulling this crap as he has the last few days, he proves those charges true.

[opihimoimoi]

29. "and fuck loser lieberscum too" I love it....

[Swamp Rat]

30. Yeah you right!

:kick:

[Jacobin]

31. It's important to a despot to have someone

from the 'other side' who is 'reasonable' to make his mayhem appear to be just fine.

They've lost that in Loserman
