Guess who DU has named as a "Conservative Idiot"

[DeclinetoState]

Joe Lieberman

As you know, Democratic Underground is a site for Democrats, and so our policy is to never put Democrats in the Top 10 Conservative Idiots - no matter how tempting it may be from time to time. But last week Joe Lieberman announced that this November he's going to run for Senate in Connecticut on the independent "Connecticut for Lieberman" ticket - against our Democratic nominee Ned Lamont. And therefore I'm allowed to let him have it.

Most political primaries end like this: the winning candidate graciously accepts his party's nomination, and the losing candidate graciously acknowledges his defeat and pledges to throw his support behind the winner. The first part of that traditional equation held true in last week's Connecticut primary; the second part did not. Five seconds after conceding defeat, Joe Lieberman announced that he would be running for the seat as an "independent democrat" - whatever the hell that is.

DU is the most clueless bunch of leftwing morons I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I no longer read their poluted tripe.

I dunno. It's kind of fun to watch libs attack each other. (And make no mistake about it; Joe is still a lib on the vast majority of issues.)

Lieberman wouldnt even qualify as a libertarian with his votes for record high spending and his support for Tax Increases.

The primary reason that "our Democratic nominee Ned Lamont" has their support is that he loathes President Bush with the momaniacal obsession that characterizes the Soros/Moore/Move-On lunatic fringe, and he is a treasonous asswipe who would sell America's soul to her enemies in order to "get" Bush.

Whom and what DUh opposes are good gauges of what sane people should support.

Ain't that the truth.

Almost feels like dejavous all over again. I seem to remember a presidential ticket invoving this guy ... where they refused to admit defeat.

Whom and what DUh opposes are good gauges of what sane people should support.A very simple gauge, but pretty accurate nonetheless.

A quote from the original post:

Five seconds after conceding defeat, Joe Lieberman announced that he would be running for the seat as an "independent democrat" - whatever the hell that is.

How very revealing. The irony of course is that the very notion of a Democrat thinking "independently" is cause for outrage and condemnation.

The Republican in the race is at 6%, so I bet the Republicans will all be voting for Joe just so the Dems don’t pick up a seat in CT. Better to tie then get a loss when trying to hold the majority – plus Ned is not much of a thinker from the interview I saw on Meet the Press.

[DesertFox]

Hey, he's a liberal Democrat. Not many thinkers to be found in that mob.

The only reason DU chose Lieberman is because they never read a steaming pile posted by AmeriConArtist.
