Joe Lieberman to support 2010 GOP Candidates

[Scam of God]

He belongs in the GOP: a big-government warhawk with sympathies towards social authoritarianism and an unnatural sexual attraction to the Star of David.

What a horrible thing! Supporting candidates from both sides. He should be expelled from the Senate for this.

You ought to like him. He has a strong appeal to the idiot-populist base of the GOP, which is 90% of its real voting bloc.

Sarcasm, my friend.
I just think it's annoying how both sides will attack their opponent for being "too partisan" during a campaign, but once they get in there, if someone is actually bi-partisan, they get attacked by their party. It seems like it is only okay to be bi-partisan when it is someone from the opposing party reaching out to you.

He's going to join the GOP eventually, and he's going to fit right in with its ever-expanding "big tent" of economic liberals. He'll always have the V-chip to run on.

This is simply hypocritcal. If Liberman had been a Republican turned Independent, and he was campaigning for Democrats, Democrats would be praising him, while many Republican's would critique him. I hope none of you ever complain that a candidate is too partisan, because that is exactly what you all want.

I don't care that he's a turncoat. I care that he's a big spender, a social authoritarian and a warhawk. I care because if he actually joins the GOP this will go a long way towards confirming my hypothesized realignment. If he does, I hope you welcome him, and make him feel comfortable.

Isn't it funny? Vepres can defend military interventionism, can defend corporate socialism, and can champion the cause of those politicians which support both - but mention one thing about non-interventionism or a real free-market economy and he goes apes**t, despite his alleged support for both.

WTF!?! I am one of the most pacifistic, pro-market (as opposed to pro-business). I don't like people attacking politicians for being bipartisan and independent.

And yes, I know Lieberman probably doesn't oppose the public option on principle.

Yet you defend him anyway, and by doing so you implicitly defend everything else he supports. Does it shame you to know that the left-wing in this nation is more libertarian than those politicians you've fallen in love with?

That's a logical fallacy. Just because I defend him doesn't mean I support his position (though in this case I do).

You support his position by encouraging him to remain in the Senate.

More libertarian than the Republicans? Most certainly.

[Scam of God]

Wait!?! So now I have to support his resignation? He's certainly better than generic New England Democrat #5.

1. I think that he would be a far more formidable candidate than many of you think.
2. Did anybody seriously think he'd run?

Don't even pretend to be a libertarian; we all know that you aren't. You just want to be a conservative in the most humane way possible.

As opposed to what? Continued support for military interventionism (and its inevitable corollary, military socialism) in Iraq? Continued support for institutionalized homophobia? Continued support for social authoritarianism? Yes, absolutely yes, the Democrats are the libertarian party in today's society.

And the reason you don't care about the Republican's social policy is that you aren't really concerned. As long as you get your tax income check you are eager to gobble Christian cock, principles be damned.

[Scam of God]

Arguing that either the Republicans or Dems are libertarian is beyond ridiculous.

It's a question of degrees. I don't believe that saying one Party is more friendly to libertarian interests than the other is ridiculous at all.
