Lieberman Considers All Options - Won't Rule Out Running As An Independent

Ok.. it comes down to

Hillary, McCain, Lieberman and whoever the Libertarians run.

Who appeals to you the most at this point?

I'd go Lieberman right now.

Well, I was a McCain guy back on 2000....but I'd have to look into Lieberman.  Having said that, the article was talking about the US Senate race in CT, wasn't it?

Of course you would.

I don't see anything especially noble about sucking in Democratic campaign money running as a Democrat, only to abandon the Democratic party if you lose your party's primary.

But then again, that's what has always made Joe, Joe. He knows a thing or two about betrayal.

I hope Lamont kicks his bellybutton to the curb.

Lieberman has his bright spots. But he's hawkish, relatively centrist, relatively moderate, and Jewish. He doesn't have a prayer as a Democrat. Nash can't stand him, that is enough to make me like him by itself.

Is that what it comes down to, really?

As much as those on the right just love to say that Billary is the front runner, it's pure fiction. You need to expand your list a little. Warner, Clark, Feingold, Richardson, Gore.... and others I'd be so happy to see fix this madness.

Don't believe the hype. It aint gonna happen for Hillary, I'm afraid.

If he thinks he can run this country better than the next guy, then why wouldn't he switch to independent if he couldn't get his party's nomination.  Shouldn't his loyalty be to the people of the United States first...well ahead of his loyalty to "the party"?

heh... it's one of those ironic things, I guess, but I totally agree with ya, laser. McCain is just as baldly two-faced.

I would HOPE that people are sick of this crap by now. Seeing a thread entitled "President Lieberman" made my skin crawl.

And, it's a moot thread anyways....

The Democratic Primary wraps up in Connecticut in something like August 8th. You have to file as an Independent there on the 9th. I might have the dates screwed up, but it's the day after.

So that means that if Liebermen intends to make good on his threat, he has to undertake this absurd spectacle of running for Democrats while at the very same time, collecting signatures for an Independent run.

I don't think so.

Then he should do it now. And not accept a single dime from the Democratic party.

Yeah, I was just about to post that Lieberman pisses off the hardcore liberals for the same reason that McCain pisses off the republicans who have a brain.

If Lieberman runs as an independent, he might wind up splitting the Democrat vote and keeping the Republicans in for another 4 years.


Personally, I don't care which party the next guy is from, I just wish one of the two parties would nominate someone who isn't a corrupt lackey for a change (I know, snowball's chance in hell of that happening).

Are you in the mood to compare your list of corrupt Democratic "lackeys" against my list of corrupt Republican "lackeys?"

I honestly do laugh... whenever I see this "baby out with the bath water" stuff.

Or the latest fad: "Fuggit, I'm a Libertarian now."

To me, it's just Republicans too ashamed to admit that they've been hoodwinked.

If republicans just voted on the issues instead of wearing brown shirts and toeing the party line I suspect I'd like republicans a heluva lot better than democrats.

And speaking of which... rumor mill has Bill Clinton running again for the Democrats... since The Beyatch is no more electable than a Jew.

Whatta world.
