Lieberman: I Would Speak At GOP Convention (VIDEO)

On Fox News Sunday, Joe Lieberman said he would speak at the Republican National Convention if John McCain wants him to.

"I'm not gonna go to attack Barack Obama," Lieberman said. "I'm gonna go to explain why I, as an Independent Democrat, am supporting John McCain, hoping I can convince other Independents and Democrats to join me in choosing the man who is clearly more ready to be the president America needs."

he is a traitor not only to the Democratic party, but to America as well. He wants to sacrifice our money, our reputation, and our soldiers to wage was against the enemies of Israel. Zionist is the very worst word I can imagine to describe him.

[MegInPA]

I never hear a word he's saying anyway. I'm always focused on his mouth. It's so interesting to watch it move.

[Soundofthunder]

I can't help but wonder how Cheney manages to manipulate his strings over such epic distances.

I know. It looks like a some sort of mechanical monster from the Monty Python opening credit cartoons. Glad somebody else noticed.

I believe his presence will cause just the opposite - more Indies will go with Sen. O. And the only Dems who'd vote for McLoser are some bitter whiny Hil - bots who are so blind they can't see how stupid they are. And certainly old Joe won't mean a thing to the rethugs as Mc Loser is all they have anyway.

So go ahead and make a monotone, boring, irrelevant speech, Joe - it is the last time you will have a presence anywhere.

This miscreant makes me happy that Al Gore lost. The thought of having this freak of nature as VP and within striking distance of the Presidency of the USA must scare any American with brains. Lieberman belongs to a mental asylam.

[BWonka]

I've always thought one of the reasons Al lost was choosing LIEberman as his running mate.

After watching "Recount" on HBO last month and reliving the 2000 nightmare, I saw how instrumental Loserman was in that whole debacle. He's been a traitor and a loser for a long time. I hope he goes down with the McLoser ship in November and that we only see the two of them in a rest home straight-jacketed together. He makes me nauseous!

[Flagal]

hmmm

[JonW]

I don't recall Joey doing squat for the 2000 campaign. He thought he'd inherit the mantle for 2004
by rolling over and letting poor Al get hammered by the Rethug slime machine!

What good ol' Joe did during the recount was defend the Republicans' call for including illegal ballots from the military in the total, even though they were marked and received after the election.

Rotsa Ruck Leebee!

[leftintheoven]

He had commited himself to McCain. He MUST pray that McCain is elected AND try to secure a spot in McCain's administration. He knows he is finished as a US Senator in Connecticut. This is it for the "independent democrat". There are NO OTHER OPTIONS FOR HIM.

[mamacat]

Hey, I respect that he has a right to his own opinion. I just disagree with him. Really, really, disagree with him.

[gakabani]

Lieberman is an opportunistic politician that only cares about Israel not the USA.
He is truly a dangerous person as he pushes for proxy wars against all Israel's enemies.
For him, we Americans, and the American economy, are only flesh for war, he uses us to bleed for Israel.

[mamacat]

I truly do not understand the reasoning behind Lieberman's views. Although I understand his words, and sentences, it is his logic that makes no sense to me.

I fear that his orthodox judaism may be an overriding influence in his world view. If so, that bodes ill for the chances of an Israeli - Palestinian peace. The parties in a negotiation need to be capable of reasoning outside the constraints of a narrow world view.

[idabamaho]

Ya think? What an epiphany.

[SeriousBlack]

I assume he would be starting with "Hello, my name is Benedict Arnold."

What a useless piece of protoplasm.

[jerryfromcalifornia]

frankly, nobody cares what you have to say, joe.

[okwassup]

I think it's just beautiful to witness the type of love Joe Wiesel-Man has for McCain and the Republicans. A love that is both pure and unrelenting. I mean, come on: How many people would see a failing and losing Republican ship, headed for a sinking in November like the Titanic, and actually want to jump *ON* it, tying their entire political life and survival to its bow??? It may be politically insane and career suicide, but so what? That's our Joe. Take a lesson people....­this is REAL love!

PLEASE PLEASE Repubs allow Joe to be the keynote speaker at your convention on Thursday evening, and give him the platform he so desperately craves to express his Wiesel love. Then by Friday morning following it, the Democrats can finally remove him from his post as Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, by Friday afternoon the Democrats can kick Wiesel-Man out of the Democratic Caucus, and by the next election in Connecticut the voters can finally retire old Joe back to private life. Who knows...if Bush and McCain aren't dating by then, maybe old Wiesel-man can even join them at the old-retire­d-Republic­ans-home!

Everyone has a right to change their political mind. That includes former senators Strom Thurmond and Zell Miller, as well as current senators McCain and Lieberman.

Vote for whomever you agree with. I know I will.

[confuseddemocrat]

Maybe we should look at this more positively.

Johnny needs Joey to help him read the teleprompter so that Americans won't be too embarassed by having a potential Republican presidential candidate looking as if he is inarticulate and intellectually uncurious
