(CNN) - Sen. Joe Lieberman - the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2000 - is willing to address the Republican National Convention if it will help Sen. John McCain win in November, his office confirms to CNN.
In an interview published Tuesday night, the independent Connecticut senator told The Hill newspaper that “If Sen. McCain, who I support so strongly, asked me to do it, if he thinks it will help him, I will.”
Lieberman, who lost his Democratic superdelegate status when he was re-elected to the Senate as an independent, endorsed the Arizona senator earlier this year and has actively campaigned for the presumptive GOP nominee.
McCain has not yet asked Lieberman if he would address the Republican nominating convention in September.

Liberman is a traitor...
A republican in disguise...
He will never get re-elected in CT every again!
He sponsors all failed policies like MCSAME anyways
WHO CARES!
Way to go Joe... call it like you see it.
He maybe the last truley honest person in Washington... Stands by what he believes to be right... like him or not!
Funny thing is how bad he will be destoyed on this thread... by the same people who voted for him in 2000.... Sick and Sad...
Lieberman is a humongous sellout. He's probably the reason Kerry lost. This man is a Republican to the core and hid behind the Democrats when it was something to gain. It makes you wonder who else is in Washington that Democratic voters put in office who are secretly loyal to the Conservative establishment.
What exactly would Lieberman say at the GOP convention? That I'll be the one standing behind McCain everyday making sure he gets his facts straight. Come on.
Lieberman: The biggest loser.
I don't even know who Joe Liberman is anymore. He certainly is not the same man who ran with Al Gore. I guess Lieberman noticed that he was unsuccessful at being a democrat, so he has decided to try the republican point of view. identity crisis much?
You are the definition of a ruthless, opportunistic traitor of a politician....
To think that you almost were our DEMOCRATIC vice-president only a few years back... SHAME on U!!!
Joe
you are a sellout and I for one am glad you are no longer part of my party!
Mr. Lieberman, you will not only hurt McCain, you will destroy him. Your vote & opinion is garbage.
McNoClue/Liebertraitor 08
Hey turncoat Joe...please just go join the Repubs and be done with it.
...a decision that cost him his superdelegate vote at the Democratic National Convention, since party rules prohibit it...
I guess the DNC doesn't believe in Freedom of Speech.
No Country for Old Men.
Angus in 08!
When he went against the will of the voters in his home state, rand as an independant AFTER HE LOST the primary....
I wonder how those people who voted for him as an independant feel about him NOW...
(WAY TO BLINDSIDE YOUR CONSTITUENCY)....
Possible VP? Wow, the parties working together. Stop that! It almost makes sense. Politicians putting America before the party. WOOOO.
Endorsements are like auctions, they go to the highest bidder.
Why doesn't he just become a Republican already.
Mr. Lieberman, you and McCain both need to just go on, sit down in your rocking chairs and watch the sun rise and set.
What an egotistical turncoat. Maybe he can do more for the republicans than he has done for us here in the state of Connecticut, as a senator. (He spends little to no time here in the state, learning the needs of our citizens).
I wonder what position in the McCain Administration he is jockeying for, but i guess of you cant be a d emocratic VP, hey what not go to the dark side, the things people do for power. I can see Hillary Clinton crossing over to the republicans next.
Obama '08
The caption under the picture should read "Zombies!"
Zell Miller knew to abandon The Democrats' Sinking Ship, too.
It wouldn't be anything new, the Republicans had a Democrat key note speaker in 04' if I remember correctly.
A republican addressing the Republican convention, what is so strange about that?
This are two old folks who have nothing to offer America at this time.
They should be having fun with their grand grand children and leave the country to the likes of Obama who promises change.
The smartest person that the republicans have is an ex-democrat!
No great loss is all that needs to be said.
Of course he'll do that. He's a Republican. Just drop the fakery, Lieberman, and change your affiliation. The Democratic party doesn't need or want your type of "support." If you're supporting the guy who's in favor of 100 years of war, tax breaks for the rich, and big corporations over the environment, you are no Democrat.
I'm suprised that we haven't seen more Democratic leaders like Lieberman leaving the Democratic party.
It appears the vast majority of those elected because they were relativtly to the center.....are indeed WAY FAR LEFT of center.
I predict this will result in large losses of congressional seats to Independants and Libertarians.
Lieberman lost his state as a Democrat and quickly ran as an Independent and won. Now he is backing McCain who at one time thought about becoming a Democrat.
Does anyone else see an issue with this???
Shouldn't this guy be asked to leave the dem party. He cann't have his sweet and eat it. Choose ye this day, who will he serve. Dem or GOP?
pathetic
he's like the little nerdy kid who will do anything to hang out with the cool crowd
Lieberman deserves nothing but defeat in his 2012 reelection race.
Besides McCain is using him to get Dem votes, after the dust settle McCain would kick him to the curve. No prolife would be on McCain tick, you heard it yesterday.
Yeah... well we know why this has been set up- McCain can't seem to keep the Iraqi factions straigtht, in fact, he can't seem to keep any details in order.... Sure I want a President who has a mean streak and has major outbursts to be the President of the United States- Kiss your you-know-what goodbye! He'll be pulling that tigger reall fast and ask questions later!
Leiberman should run as an Independent with Hillary. they seem to be cut from the same cloth.
If the democrats don't think they can manage to get this putz out of Congress when he comes up for re-election they should call me.
Joe's got to GO!
Lieberman belongs in the Republican party, I hope you Hillary supporters are paying attention, Hillary is DLC and DLC chose Lieberman to be Al Gore's VP in 2000.
Also (Chuck) Schumer, a DLC Democrat, was the one who sugested Mukasey for Attorney General.
With the war going on, and the Democrats being impotent, I really wonder if the DLC is really working for the Republicans. I really wonder.
Who cares! Lieberman is a loser ! Better still, Grandpa McCain why don’t you make him your VP. That would sure be a winning team, the “Warmonger” and the "Traitor".
Our President Obama 08’ & 12’
I think we can officially change the graphic to "Joe Lieberman (R-CT)."
..and did the Republican know 9-11 was coming so they planted Lieberman to Gore hopping that he would guide Gore into Iraq after 9-11.
Maybe Hillary can address the GOP for an honorary membership since she acts just like a Republican, too! We don't want her in our Democratic party anymore!!! Clinton/Coulter 2012!
Lieberman doesnt care about America or what happens to it.He only cares about his little country in the middle east.
AMZ,
You are so right.
"Funny thing is how bad he will be destoyed on this thread… by the same people who voted for him in 2000…. Sick and Sad…"
Who care what this guy does. He's Al Gore's mistake that cost him the 2000 election. Won't make a difference to me are any other dem what this trader does.
I'd kinda like to see Joe as Mac's Veep. He's a good man, see's things clearly on BOTH sides of the political fence, and has tons of experience. Enough talk about a First Woman or First Black. How about First Independent Jew?
John & Joe in 08!
Can anyone say they are surprised by this??? The sad idiots that voted for him ought to just change their own party affiliation. I wonder if he'll challenge Chris Matthews to a duel???
Arizona Senator McCain getting endorsed by Israeli Senator Lieberman. Hopefully when the democrats extend their lead in the Senate, we can give this foreign policy nut the boot.
I really hope the Democratic party picks up a few seats in the Senate so they can kick Lieberman all the way out of the Democratic party and not even caucus with him. If Carville wants to call somebody a Judas I think I've found his guy.
On the other hand, I guess this is what Democrats have to deal with in exchange for getting some reasonable Republicans like Hagel, Luger and Voinovich.
Joe is proof positive that the liberal left is now in full control of the DNC..
We in CT would like a special election to take back our enormous mistake! What happened to you Joe????
Benedict Arnold was also from Connectict!
The trouble with independents is they don't do what the party machinery tells them. They think for themselves which seems to be a problem for most of the BO groupies.
I am tired of posting comments which are never published!!!!!! but that will not stop Obama becoming the president!!!!!
The Democratic Party needs to show "Traitor Joe" Lieberman the Door when Congress re-convenes. Let him be seated with the Republicans where he belongs.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: The only good thing to come out of the 2000 "election" was that this man did not become Vice President.
If Joe Lieberman wants to be a Republican then he ought to say so and throw the senate balance of power back to the Republicans. Instead he touts himself as an independent, after the Dems bamboozled him in the last election, but sided with the dems when it came to senate control. Either switch or go away.
Lieberman is a milquetoast turncoat. He is disgustingly self-serving and acts like a Republican rather than a Democrat. He is SOOOOO wrong on the war, and is an fool for doing Bush's bidding. The Democrats should expel him from the party, as he is directly opposing them by endorsing McBush.
Joe L. has entered the debate with blinders off. He needs to be applauded for this.
Note to the sheeple. You don't have to vote just based on the (R) or (D) next to a candidate's name.
Lieberman physically resembles the Emperor in the Star Wars movies. Virtually any form of militarism against Arab countries is supported by him.
Clearly, McBush can not win on Republican voters a lone. He's not conservative enough. A lot of conservatives hate him.
So McBush needs votes of liberals (democrats). What McBush will try to do is brainwash democrats into thinking he is liberal like democrats as well.
The only problem is that McBush only got the Republican nomination because McBush made promises to George Bush – so Bush has helped him. Before embracing George Bush, McCain was last in the Republican race. After embracing George Bush, McCain jumped to first place!
Hopefully, Democrats and independent liberals don't fall for this trap. McCain is accountable to only George W. Bush.
And after he does that, he and John can address the next beer convention in Arizona as ex Senator's. John McCain must not be very smart to have Joe Lieberman hanging around. Maybe Joe can take over driving the beer truck after John puts in his ten hours driving.
2 Old White men with outdated philosophies on how the country should be run.... Does anyone else see a repeating pattern, or is it just me?
Leiberman = Benedict Arnold
Lieberman is an opportunist, he's always blown with whichever direction of the wind he thought would have the most advantage. He doesn't have any firm, fixed beliefs, a typical politician in the worst sense.
What's you're problem little man? Whatever it is. Just ask Old John McCain in November,k and he'll have the answer...All you have to do, is Knock....
Who cares about McCain and Lieberman anymore. They are the old politics. They are so out of touch... They be done by November for good. There will be a new chapter in our country. . Thanks God!!
Why does Joe seem like John McCain's little brother, following him to school on his first day?
This is a typical JEWISH mentality!
Heck! Bill Richardson ain't the Judas of the Democrats!
Keep in mind the last time a major Democrat spoke at the Republican convention. It was that crackpot Zel Miller! Lieberman is JUST as out of touch with of the Democratic Party and the American people as was Miller.
Lieberman has not had integrity since he chose to run as an Independent after he lost his Democratic primary for senate in 2006. Joe – that was a no-confidence vote from the Connecticut Democrats – and it represented the sentiment of the rest of us as well.
We'll simply have to continue holding our noses until the end of this election cycle when we'll no longer be at his mercy for retaining the majority.
Now this is funny. The best the [R]s can do for their convention is premeir a [x-D] that is so dumb to have fallen for the Bush [R] failure? This just shows that the [R]s are really counting on you [D] idiots who claim if your candidate does not win the [D] nomination, you will vote for McSame.
THE ONLY HOPE THE [R]s HAVE IN NOV. IS THAT ENOUGH OF YOU [D]s REALLY ARE AS DUMB AS YOU CLAIM, I.E. AS DUMB AS THE TYPICAL [R] - AND THEY HOPE LIEBERMAN WILL LEAD YOU OVER THE CLIFF.
I've gotta Song for you're Campaign Mr McCain.. "You're my Best Friend" Don Williams..
***AMERICAN*** – "I guess the DNC doesn't believe in Freedom of Speech."
Yeah... a Democrat superdelegate backs a Republican and they take away his Democrat superdelegate title... and you wanna say where's the free speech? He has free speech! No one's stopping him from speaking. But the DNC has every right to remove someone's SUPER-ability to cast a vote for a Democrat nominee at their convention if they support a Republican instead.
Don't try twisting things, it's not flattering for you.
Hillary will soon join you Lieberman, because Supperdelegates have themselves to blame after Clintons tear down their party apart.
She knows she can't win this nomination and she want to destroy Obama chances of making it come November so that she will run again in 2012.
Believe me she will run for Republican then, because if Obama didn't win November because of Hillary he will run again comes 2012 and Hillary can't beat him.
She will destroy your party before your eyes because if you failed to stop this nonsense negativity that she has brought to your party.
She is trying by almeans to spoil Obama chance against mccain.
She represent Republican at this point.
If Barack gets the Democratic nomination, Joe won't be the only Democratic joining the GOP later this year.
I believe Lieberman lost his Super Delegate status when he left the Democratic Party and became an Independent. This article makes it sound like he lost it when he endorsed McCain.
yikes, it looks like the bus from Shady Acres dropping the old folks off at Albertson's for their weekly shopping!!!!
Good for Joe. It proves he is a thinking Senator instead of a mind numbed Democrat
Oh yeah, the guy in the Pensylvania "bitter" comercial, the one that say he is upset at Obama's comments.............
.....IS A HILLARY CAMPAIGN WORKER FROM NEW JERSEY.
THIS MAN IS PITIFUL I WONDER WHAT THE DEMCRATICS OF CT THINK. HE IS A REPUKE NOT AND INDEPENDANT. THIS NUT NEEDS TO GO.
Good show! Seems many of our electees have been representing the democrat party but that's okay as long as they have conservative principles and will stand up for them rather than just go along with all the crazy liberal stuff of today. Joe Lieberman is a good man, and the best proof of it was when he was elected as an independent after the Connecticut democrat elites black-listed him. Sen Lieberman I think wanted to remain a democrat, but since the democrats think they are too good for him, welcome aboard Joe.
Joe Lieberman, the ultimate Judas.
McCain, may Lieberman bring you all the luck he brought to Al Gore in 2000.
Among Democrats, that turncoat Lieberman is as popular as a hooker with herpes. So I can't imagine who would be persuaded by his endorsement of McCain. If anything, he's going to anger people and motivate them to work harder to elect a Democrat.
Hey, maybe Lieberman is a double agent! Yeah, see, he has been cozying up to the Republicans while secretly in cahoots with Earth First and plans on doing recon for all them eco-terrorists that Al Gore actually controls who are planning on blowing up the Republican Convention and...and...oh God, I mean, Karl Rove, save us!!
Who cares what party you belong to? Lieberman clearly doesn't feel any great ties to the Dems, and who cares?
That's not what makes him a lying, manipulative, self-serving Washington politician (which him and McCain both are).
I think we should really stop all this Democrats against Republicans business and get to work on the issues that are important to us. This two-party system is the dumbest thing ever.
I'm an Obama supporter, but I don't care if Lieberman backs McCain–they deserve each other!
Could there be anything more distasteful than Lieberman (the turncoat) addressing the Republicans? Hello, Zell of 2008.
I'm sure there are thousands of folks in CT who have serious buyer's remorse and would love nothing more than to get rid of him altogether. It's astonishing to me that he's still relevant.
AZM: "sick and sad". You should know, having voted for Bush twice, and now you are ready to do the ultimate insane thing: vote for him a 3rd time! If you can't see or admit to the abject failure that you [R]s have inflicted on America, it really is a sign of insanity - but you are not alone, apparently 28% of the public agree with you....a sign of the horribly LOW IQ of the American voting public.
Awwwwwwwwww...leave poor Joe alone....He just wants to be VP so much that any party will do. Canada has a Rhinocerous Party, rumour has it he thinking of trying that one next.
To the ***AMERICAN***
This has nothing to do with free speech. The DNC is there to support the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. If a member comes out in support of the REPUBLICAN PARTY, then of course he shouldn't have a say in the democratic election. That is just ridiculous to make this about free speech.
This guy has allways resembled actor Kevin Spacey to me.... even sounds like him.
WHO IS KEYSER SOZEI!!!???
WHO IS JOE LIEBERMAN!!!???
Not much of an Independent, I'd say.
He has conviction that goes beyong party loyalty. You have to admire that whether or not you agree with his views.
Also, Liberman is an independent senator. If he is a traitor then what is he betraying?
and we thought Zell Miller was a thing of the past
First a Democrat
Then Independent
Now he's a Republican.
It sounds like the evolution of a dinosaur
Pethatic! He wants to speak, but does any one really listens?
Star Wars Episode VII...lol Joe (Anakan Skywalker) Lieberman has completed his transition to the Dark Side. I think they're building a Death Star in CT...lol
you know how sports stars have their day in the sun before declining in ability....I would have to say McCain/ Lieberman are both "washed up" former stars who's usefulness has long gone.
WOW....a politician following his convictions instead of blindly towing the Partty line. Washington needs allot more like him,
Lieberman is such a sellout....
Liebermann is such a self-serving person. I've lost respect for him.
Heckuva job, Connecticut.
279 days till the end of the Bush administration.
Obviously the republicans either have no memory or they don't learn from experience. Go Lieberman, you backed a looser eight years ago and you are doing the same thing again, even if you jumped ship.
What a picture of Republicans Presidential hopefuls...
Reminds me of Jack Lemon and Walter Mathau in "Grumpy Old Men"
Go Republicans! [NOT]
I am glad to see party lines being blurred
we need cooperation in todays world and this is a prime example of that
I personally would love to see people from multiple parties in the whitehouse even.
Granted i do not like democrats or republicans
I believe both parties spout out ideas and legislation bad for our nation
It would just be good to see for once a president AND congress that does what is right for the nation instead of what is right for the party
Joey should just go work for AIPAC. Oh, that's right, he already is...
There's your real Judas. Is there really any question why Gore didn't win in 2008? Poor choice of running mate. And perhaps my husband's shenanigans.
Lieberman is a loser.
Blind leading the blind
McSame behind must be scented, because Liberman sure like to follow it. Losers
Bad mistake to let Liberman address the GOP......Liberman is a "political flip-flopper." Anything he would say will meaning, but will be preceived as aligning to the coat tails of McCain for his personal and political advancement.....somewhat like a remora.
How old is Joe Liebrman?
Joe,
thank you for seeing the light!!
It needs courage to do that!
I am proud of you!!
Looks like Carville got it wrong on the real Democratic Judas.
Always nice to see the hysterical left go ballistic when someone actually realizes that leftist ideology simply doesn't work.
Might I suggest Joe to be the next Joker in Batman movie.
They are wearing the identical clothes.
ohh please, he and hillary and McCain............which club do they belong to???
they start to look, sound and speak like each other.
Did You know, John? Come November, Bruce Springsteen will be voting for you, along with many so called Obama Supporters, this time around..
All we need is a better majority in the Senate and Joe wil be relegated to the minority!
What a hypocrite this man is.
I think he is despicable, and the Dem's should strip him of all his committee positions. Go to the Republican Party and good riddance.
Whatever Lieberman, do whatever. You are irrelevant because the voters will vote for Barack and he will win in the end.
Obama 08 and 12
Even democrats (well... thinking democrats) understand that anything is better than Obama
Lieberman... you are the true Judas of the Democratic Party.
Always wondered why that guy was a Democrat anyway. Always seemed to have more of a conservative stance on most issues. Hope he's happy.
It's time for these two to find a nice cabin on a nice lake and spend lots of time fishing. Their minds need the R&R.
When is the Democratic Party deciding to kick out Sen Lieberman?
Lieberman has been wrong on every foreign policy decision of the past 8 years. The man is an idiot and needs to be voted out of office.
Buh bye.
Lieberman joined the Rep. Party because of the "perks"! Lots
of "Perks"
Way to go Joe. Nice to see someone with a backbone !
Who's going to correct Joe Liebrman when he errors? this is pathetic
I don't think this will help McCain.
John McCain said that he didn't know Barack. Well let me introduce the two of them.
Hi Goliath, meet David.
Obama 08
CNN is wrong, he didnt have superdelegate status because he is a Independent in the Senate, he did not run as democrat in 2006.
Good for him, McCain will not gain any points by using him.
Runs as a dem years back now talk of GOP speaker at convention That will for sure be a nail in his political coffin .... Talk about flip flops! And to think I voted for the guy....I'm so sorry!
You go Senator Lieberman!
This is what it means "to unite" the country, Obamaniacs, but you wouldn't understand it because you are so fixated on your empty suit that you've become blind to reality. Everything in pink colors for you, I know, because reality sometimes hurts.
McCain – Our Next President!
Well this should certainly help the GOP overcome its growing reputation as geriatric and out of touch?
His treachery is now complete.
Lieberman is a washed out has-been and see's the Crooked Talk Express as his last chance.
Another Democrat turned pscyho Zel Miller. Just what we need!
I am still wondering why it hurts CNN so much to show anti-Obama comments. To me it smells like censorship.
Same people are allowed to post two, three times. What's up with that? You know the names, check it out.
Lieberman is a turncoat – no one respects what he has to say.
Lieberman is a joke.
Lieberman who?
OBAMA, TELL PEOPLE ABOUT WILLIAM AIRE!!!!!!! CNN , PLEASE TALK ABOUT THIS PERSON WHO IS FRIENDS WITH OBAMA, THIS TERRORIST! PLEASE LET PEOPLE KNOW OR YOU WILL HAVE TO LET FOX NEWS TAKE CARE OF IT AS USUAL???
You know I agree that Leiberman is a traitor and a scumbag! I hope Democrats and Independants alike wake up in CT, and he looses his re-election.
Sure there's free speech, but just sitch your party, and call yourself what you are-a Republican; but he won't do that because then everyone would see what a liar he is. What are his positions on the issues that matter??? More of the same.
He is rediculous.And who cares? I never watch the Rebublican convention anyway.
Go Barak Obama!!!
Lieberman is as about important as Zel Miller. Zel is an idiot and so is Lieberman!
Thank God this man didnt become Vice-President.
No country for old men !! Time for a change folks, turn the page and lets move one. Forget the division tactics of the Greed over Principle (GOP) party and lets vote our pocket books and not the issues they want to give us. The country gone to H#$@ for us working folks....
It is amazing how many Americans treat politics like a sporting event. The Republicans blame the Democrats, The Democrats blame the Republicans and the public buys into the deceit. I am hopeful that soon, my country will realize that neither party is committed to improving our country. I personally do not care if Liberman speaks at the GOP convention, no more than if Bush addressed the Democratic Convention, it is what is being said and done that is important, not who relays the message. We Americans better wake up and look at the big picture.
Lieberman, the only lib that came to his senses and got out of the lib numb state of mind they have.
WHY AM I BACKING A LOSER? WHY? WHY? WHY?
GENDER IDENTIFICATION!
SHE WILL LOSE BUT I MUST BACK HER. THIS IS MADNESS
WHY? WHY? WHY?
HILLARY WE LOVE YOU
Leiberman = israeli Lobby interests
Why don't they help the USA, by impeaching Joe? He is definitely not good for the USA.
Joe's not exactly an influential speaker in the GOP. Seems to me he is more of a lap dog. I think McCain can do better than him. Why not pick Jeb Bush to speak at the convention?
Joe,
You should be honest and change your party affiliation. You are now a Republican. Good luck getting elected in 2012! I hope the good citizens of CT throw you out!
Daffy Duck , Donald Duck, Rubber Duck, Joe Lieberman all in the
same breath, sorry to the first three.
Jerry
Illinois
You go ahead Lieberman. This will definitely make voters change their mind and vote DEMOCRATIC. You are a despicable man. You speaking will only hurt the McCain campaign. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!
Joe Lieberman dragged down Al Gore in 2000. Maybe he can do John McCain the same service in 2008.
Shame on the state of Connecticut who elected this power hungry turncoat to the senate. Both he and Hillary are the chips of the same block.
Lieberman is a good example how bad some democrats can be and Obama is a good example how a democrat can capture the hearts and minds of the nation – simple a strong shoulder the nation can cry on in bad days.
Lieberman is irrelevant. What was Al Gore thinking in 2000?
Democrat-Independent-Republican Joe Lieberman the tripartite
politician. to address which convention?
Lieberman is absolutly irrelevant for the American people. He supports the politics he wanted the American people to oppose as he was Al-Gore's running mate against G.W. Bush. Simply a dishonest untrustable evil person.
McCain should stay far away from him.
I now know what G.O.P. stands for – Grumpy Old Pharts!!
Joe, you can only help McCain by staying far away from him.
If Obama is the Democratic nominee there are many of us who will vote for McCain, but NOT if you are on the ticket.
He`ll be McBush`s VP--– just wait and see.
Lieberman, you've got every right to do what you believe is best and I applaud your decision to back the person you believe is best for the country but here's what I don't like... go be an independent. Don't use the democrats or the republicans or any party as a crutch to get you elected. If you don't agree with the democrats, don't be one. If you do, stick with them and only them. Same thing if you want to be with republicans, you want to stick with them, be one. If you can't decide, be an independent and stop lying to your own voters about your party affiliation.
I can't imagine Lieberman will be re-elected to the Senate in his state..I'm sure his constituents are very unhappy with him right about now..I wonder what McCain has promised him.
Well, of course Joe has to be at the convention. He will need to be whispering corrections into McCain's ear during his speech.
Lieberman likes the "elitists" Republicans because he gets
free taxpayer paid trips around the world, which McCain likes
to call "the Middle East Trip," when, really the core reason of the
trip was to have a fundraiser in London!!!!! They only threw in
Iraq when people started complaining. I call it, "The Cronie Trip."
Boy! do they look white?????????!!!!!!
To Simon Jinx: Maybe they print all there are.
Of course ... makes sense .... he has to be there anyway to whisper in McLame's ear when he forgets his speech or the teleprompter goes on the blink ...
This is further proof that the Democratic party is moving left- and pulling its loyal fan base with it. Only a left-ward veer into liberal oblivion can explain how people like Lieberman or Zel Miller find it necessary to address the Republican convention as they are left behind by their party.
As eye-brow raising as it is to say as a Republican, I'd rather vote for Clinton than Obama. The Obamabots are following a charismatic ideolog, and charismatic ideologs are always dangerous, because their rhetoric is built on emotion and not substance, and they followers invest their love and nor their logic into backing the candidate. I am not electing a President to bring the country together- I'm electing them to manage the Federal bureaucracy and hopefully do what Bush hasn't- cut the federal budget and spend less money as a percentage of GDP. McCain is the man to helm the ship and stave off Democratic entitlements and taxes. And Lieberman, for his reasons, supports him.
Good luck Senator on re-election in 2012 and getting your Democratic seat back.
If the Democrat Party had more Zell Millers and Joe Liebermans, it actually might stand a chance of winning an election. Instead, men like these are marginalized and pushed out of the crazy party. We no longer have a 2 party system because the Dems are just not viable as a legitimate party.
For those of you laughing that Joe backed a loser in 2000...yes he did...and was smart enough, and brave enough to figure it out and not back a loser this time around. Only the Dems keep doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result. Crazy....once again....you lose the national election.
Ya don't say ....
Now McCain is someone that can bring this country together. He even brings former democrati VP nominees to his side. That is bringing government together. Obama and the left's idea of unity is getting you to agree with their idea's or you are wrong. Read other post on this blog, and you can see what I'm saying.
He is a republican! Kick him out of the Dems party!
The problem that I have with Lieberman is that he appears to care more about Isreal than he does about America. I think it is time for Connecticut to hold a recall vote and replace him woth someone who supports America first.
In the land of freedom, Lieberman can address any audience, provided it's a reasonable and respectful speech. I don’t quite catch why most of the Obama and/or Hillary supporters are so afraid of what he has to tell… Would he say some of the Democrats were not that democratic as to his former own plans for a nomination?
Leiberman will do anything to stay in the limelight.
It hurts me to even refer to Mr. Lieberman by name. This man is a traitor. I think he should be run out of the State of CT for betraying the voters that voted him in office.
Traitor!
Thank god we already kicked his sorry butt out of the Democratic party (he's an "independent"). What a loser!
McCain and Lieberman exemplify what is good in this country. They don't buy into party labels and agendas. They do what is best for America. They are true patriots that deserve our support.
For those of you who don't care for Lieberman because of his Jewish ancestry. Let me remind you that we are a Judeo-Christian culture and we (The United States) will always back Israel over these blood thirsty Islamic Radicals that want to destroy not only Israel, but Western civilization.
Your leaders are not telling you the truth. We are engaged in a Religous war that has been going on for 2,000 years. The only difference now is that the enemy has the potential of destroying everyone including themselves.
Mr. McGoo will never win. He just won't. So Lieberman can jump on his bandwagon, but it's going in the wrong direction. The McGoos and the Liebermans will be over in one direction, and America and the world will be in another.
It's time to end this stupid war and bring our soldiers home. The McGoo/Lieberman ticket will not only continue this war, but start a new one–that's three wars. Enough is enough.
The average person posting on here are nothing more than bleeting sheep. You savage Joe Leiberman because his views no longer match those of the democratic party... yet were glowing over Vermont Senator Jim Jeffords when he left the Republican party.
Pragmatism is dead. Stand proud with your pitch and forks for attempting to tear down a decent guy (Joe Leiberman). Can you disagree with some of his views – yet STILL respect the guy??
Nahh... didnt think so.
And so is America, we are done with you. No more wars and wonderful words of how this country is doing great, we're not. But we will be when this election is over.

I wish McCain picks Lieberman as a VP. A sure way to lose the election. It is till beyond my imagination that Connecticut Voters Elected this traitor for the US Sanate.
Lieberman is a Judas.
GO HILLARY!!!
GO HILLARY!!
Screw Lieberman! Just another war mongerer!!! All he cares about is getting a seat in an Administration; by "an," I mean ANY!!! Has he forgotten about McCain's stance on abortion, etc.???
He can make a great partner for Zell Miller.
Lieberman is forever toast in Connecticut. Most of those supporting him now regret it. But he can always land a job with Fox News.
I hate Joe Lieberman so much!
LIEberman is TOXIC!
Joe, Join the Republican party already!!! And also go fight in Iraq!!!
It appears that our two-party political system has difficulty including those, like McCain and LIeberman, who place the welfare of our country over partisan conformity.

To NYC Native: Newyorkers had their chance to vote. They voted for Spitzer. And Bloomberg. Too bad his congestion pricing didn't work. Nor westside stadium. May be his next project will solve your problems.
McCain needs Lieberman...I mean REALLY needs him!
Who else can he count on to whisper the correct answer in his ear when he makes his mistakes over and over again. It wouldn't really shock me if he offers Lieberman the vice-presidency and then makes a big deal about how he's trying to 'unite' the parties. McCain might just be foolish enough to believe we Dems still think of Joe as one of our own. LOL
