Is there room for McCain and Graham too? Hope they join Joe soon.
Joe Judas Lieberman is following in Willard's footsteps. Thank goodness he's out of the Senate.
There is a rumor that Joltin' Joe Biden is in southern FL. Hope they treat him well, and he will be able to see the potential greatness once Rick Scott is no longer governor. Hey Joe, on your next visit, Tampa is nice too!
he's been a traitor for years – all you have to is wave enough cash in front of his eyes
Great photo of Lieberman standing in front of the Dept of Homeland Security sign – Joe, being the good repub he is, will waste no time in selling out our country to the highest bidder.
Ka-CHING!
Yup, Lieberman had the goolies to run and be elected on a third party ticket. He remains a registered Democrat, so why the hate @Dutch? What was his crime that has you so incensed?
Others in Congress (especially the "career" members) should take note.
God Bless Free Enterprise!!!!
America, enough is enough–kick these GOP thugs. Vote out all these idiots of GOP block. God bless!!
@Gurgyl
Joe Lieberman was a democrat and then switched to independent when he was primaried by a more "acceptable" democrats. Thanks for playing.
ThinkAgain, Joe Lieberman voted 99.99% with the democrats, so what makes him now a republican?????
Great way for the country to start the new year, our pres won BIGGEST LIAR OF THE YEAR , no wonder everyone wants off his team.
Hilarious – Joe was Democrat turned Independent – voted and caucused with the Democrats.....now the usual suspects from the left are trying to tell us that he is a good Republican. All I can say is good for you Joe – I wish you well in your new career. Now if we can get a few more Democrats to see the error of their ways and come to the light.....

Shhhhhh... they don't like facts....
Joe Lieberman has found a new calling ?
Money , Joe was a lobbyist for credit card companies the whole time he was in office .
New Calling , What do you call new ?
Lizzie – Lieberman endorsed his traveling companion, McCain, in 2008. Some felt it was because he was promised the VP slot on the McCain ticket, and he was blind sided by the right. At any rate, by the time he left office, he had an approval rating of 30%, and only 24% felt he deserved reelection. Most of us disliked him because he voted against the democratic causes he endorsed. 99.9% is a made up number not reflecting reality.
Joe started out as a Dem and was even on the ticket as VP when he chose to speak at the Republic Nationaal Convention and dog on the Dems after he got primaried and beat (then ran as a Independent and won back his seat). We have had our ins and outs and ups and downs with Joe, but his career choice here pretty much shows where his loyalties actually lie, huh?
Unlike the republicants, you can be a Democrat and not agree with the party 100% of the time. Unlike the republicants which is quickly becoming a party where if you are not to the right of Darth Vader, they pull your card and kick you out.
One of the many reasons they are a slowly dying party, now being made up of a strange conglomeration of NASCAR fans, KKK members, the uber weatlhy (AKA- the Masters), Evangalists, and those people too ignorant to understand politics, economics, math, history, and common courtesy.

"At any rate, by the time he left office, he had an approval rating of 30%, and only 24% felt he deserved reelection"
=======
LOL. That comment was taken directly from Wikipedia. Hilarious. Oh, and he won reelection after your party primaried him because he wasn't a pure enough liberal (sound familiar?). Other than the war on terror, Timmy, tell me one issue where he voted against "democratic causes". You are too awesome sometimes.
If you liberals (ie TT, Thunk a What, Dutch etc....) keep denegrating "Free Enterprise" , Your government handouts will be in jeopardy. Then what hand will feed you?

Many of us on the right would have fully embraced Lieberman as VP on the McCain ticket. In fact, it may have won McCain the election. I digress... I cannot prove a negative (although the left loved to try to do just that all the time). How much you forget that Lieberman provided you a critical vote on Obamacare. Timmy, Timmy, Timmy...

I don't know what the percentage actually is, but your figure is too high. Joe campaigned for McCain, and initially voted against most every major piece of legislation the Obama administration put forth. Joe was as anti-Obama as they come. He stopped caucusing with Democrats, and that was that.

Here's a handout for you. 280 profitable Fortune 500 companies are being federally subsidized. Why do they need a subsidy if they're profitable and why is it ok for them to stash their money in tax havens?

Joe Lieberman endorsed McCain because the 2 were (and still are) very, very close friends. In that sense, calling him "Judas" is 180 degrees from what the term really means. Calling him the "anti-Judas" is far more appropriate.

You might be right. So, using his infinite wisdom and maverick values, he recruited a provincial politician, Sarah Palin.
