Lieberman to liberals: Bite me

The senator laughs off suggestions of retribution if he votes down healthcare reform legislation
By Alex Koppelman


Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., isn't worried about Democrats getting angry if he votes with Republicans to filibuster healthcare reform legislation. But the reason for his lack of concern that he gave Politico this week may make some liberals even madder:

After what I went through in 2006, there’s nothing much more that anybody disagrees with me can try to do.

Ouch.

[punkin87]

5. Too bad he got in, in 2006.

[LeftishBrit]

6. For that matter, too bad he got in, in 1988.

One of the extremely few occasions when a Republican was the better choice.

7. If the Dem leadership does nothing in response

Then there won't any credibility whatsoever on their part (not that there's much now) and they can expect further defections on all sides.

11. Need I remind you, the guy was Gore's running mate in 2000.

Probably why no one worked very hard to get Gore in after he won the election.

[rhett o rick]

19. Gore won in 2000? It isn't who gets the most votes, it's who DOESNT concede. nt

[Nuclear Unicorn]

12. Where would we be if...

...Gore had won in 2000? Re-elected in 2004 then in 2008? Lieberman? No Obama perhaps?

:scared:


EDIT: Totally screwed - up my history

[old mark]

13. Left to Lieberman: Hope you like your new job. nt

[wroberts189]

16. Keep telling yourself and everyone that Joe. Great message ! knr/nt

[tnlefty]

17. Ned LaMont is a better human being that you could ever

aspire to be, Joe.

Sen. Reid, could you strip him of his coveted chairmanship and soon?

[rhett o rick]

18. The fact that Reid doesnt, speaks volumns. nt
