Lieberman: "The momentum is with the Republicans, thank God - that's the way people have spoken"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), the poster child of liberal bloggers' ire, has done it again.

Once the darling of Democratic political heavyweights -- he campaigned in 2000 as the vice presidential running mate of then-Vice President Al Gore -- the Connecticut senator now appears to enjoying sparring his his former party at every opportunity.

Lieberman became an independent during his 2006 campaign, in which he faced off with liberal millionaire Ned Lamont. Liberal bloggers largely supported Lamont.

Since then, Lieberman has nettled those in his former party for his continual overtures to Republicans. Recently, he said he wouldn't rule out running as a Republican in his 2012 Senate race.

But in a Newsmax interview published Monday, he took himself one step further toward the party he once campaigned to defeat.

"There were a lot of people, particularly Democrats, who were declaring after the 2008 election that we were beginning a period of Democratic dominance that would go on for decades," Lieberman told Newsmax. "Now, all of a sudden, the momentum is with the Republicans. And that's — thank God — that's the way people have spoken, you know? That's our democracy."
