Proposal for new DU group - Joe Lieberman supporters

[mdmc]

Moderators, fellow DU'ers,
Please consider this OP a formal request to create a DU sub group for Joe Lieberman supporters.
I suggest that this new group be placed in the "Democrats" sub category.
Ten members must agree to support the creation of this new group.
Do I have a second?

[Horse with no Name]

1. I thought DU only supported Democrats?

:shrug:

[Hokie]

2. Joe Lieberman is not a Democrat (NT)

[Solly Mack]

3. Just out of curiosity - What would your mission statement say?

[tanyev]

9. One is the loneliest number....

[mdmc]

16. no pity second?

:shrug:

[Lerkfish]

23. maybe find a different message board?

this board does not work against democrats

[Solly Mack]

19. but my curiosity, though not intensely, is tingling

Sometimes, you just gotta know...

Just imagine...a mission statement to support a 3rd party candidate, who left the Democratic Party, on a board that supports Democratic Party candidates

It's gotta be good. LOL

on edit: I was wrong. It wasn't good.

Bummer

[mdmc]

14. How about this -

A group dedicated to the discussion of Joe Lieberman and his political career; past, current and future.

[Lerkfish]

17. wow. I really DON"T want what you're smoking,

[Solly Mack]

22. We do that in GD already

:)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. I doubt most of us want to talk about Joe any more.

Except to mention in passing that he's an opportunistic turncoat who, if there is any justice in the universe, has NO political future.

[Robbien]

4. This site is not Connecticutt for Lieberman Underground

Why would a Democratic site pay for bandwidth which supports another party?

[w4rma]

5. …

…
You are not permitted to use this message board to work for the defeat of the Democratic Party nominee for any political office. If you wish to work for the defeat of any Democratic candidate in any General Election, then you are welcome to use someone else's bandwidth on some other website.

Democratic Underground may not be used for political, partisan, or advocacy activity by supporters of any political party or candidate other than the Democratic Party or Democratic candidates. Supporters of certain other political parties may use Democratic Underground for limited partisan activities in political races where there is no Democratic Party candidate.

6. Joe isn't a Democrat any more.

He needs to get his support from whinysoreloserunderground.com.

[Swamp Rat]

7. Dog pile on the rabbit!

:D

[Sydnie]

15. ROFL!

Best description ever Swampy!

[mdmc]

20. mercy!

:)

[lonestarnot]

32. I think mdmc is bullshitting us.

[lonestarnot]

OMG funny!

[madinmaryland]

8. Can i un-recommend this thread. (MINUS ONE)

[Wonk]

10. You're kidding, right?

IBTL

[Pithy Cherub]

11. Lamont is the Democrat and would be worthy of a group!

No Joe supporter posts are allowed here...Thank God.

[FloridaPat]

12. Are you joking?

[Sydnie]

13. Lieberman left us, remember?

He is now actively campaigning against the nominee. I am sure that Joe has a forum of his own for those that still support him, doesn't he?

[LostinVA]

18. If you're not joking... this would be against DU rules

No advocating of non-Dems... let alone a true turncoat.

[mdmc]

33. I didn't think about that

:shrug:

[ElboRuum]

21. Hmm...

Well, Joe isn't technically a Democrat anymore, is he?

Here's a counter offer:

We create a sub group for Joe Lieberman supporters after the following conditions have been met:

1) Joe steps out of the Connecticut Senatorial race.
2) Joe comes out and backs the Democratic candidate Ned Lamont.

Seems to me that until these two things are met, he's not a Democrat. And this is Democratic Underground after all.

[Liberal_Dog]

25. I'm Assuming That This Is A Joke

:)

[Tom Joad]

26. Bush supporters already have forums.

[Canuckistanian]

27. Very clever

Herd them all into one small area, where they can be dealt with.

An ancient stategy, originally used by aboriginal hunters to harvest large groups of prey by forcing them into narrows and over a cliff.

Audacious! But it just might work.....

[ElboRuum]

31. Too bad it doesn't seem to be working. n/t

[ElboRuum]

34. Whup! Maybe I spoke too soon! n/t

[Jim Sagle]

28. Fuck jagoff Joe AND his supporters.

[Why Syzygy]

29. You're feeling frisky, right?

Sounds like a Lounge thread.

Searching for love in all the wrong places, kind of thing.

[question everything]

30. Lieberman was treated shamelessly on DU

a lot worse than, say, Ford from TN or Casey from PA. If either of them posted on DU, anonymously, of course, promoting their stand, they would be tombstoned within minutes.

But in less than 2 months this will be over - one way or the other. So why bother with a forum for just 2 months?

[rasputin1952]

35. Locking

Lieberman is not the Democratic candidate, he is an Independant.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
