Lieberman calls Dean "unelectable"

[Cascadian]

Tkae a look at this piece from the Washington Post via Yahoo. Lieberman defends his "centrist" leaning stance. Calling Howard Dean "unelectable" and being unapologetic about supporting the invasion on Iraq. He also goes after John Kerry for being ambivalent on the war.

This guy is really in a dream world. He still thinks he will win!

1. Who give a flying FiretrUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lieberman can byteme!!!!!!!!!!

[Ein]

2. Lieberman sucks.

Thats the end of the conversation. He isn't liberal at all.

Dean is at least a quarter liberal, and the Democratic party is the supposed liberal party, so why the fuck would he win.

If his mindset is true and the vast majority is centrist, than I am an extreme radical. Far Right Wing admin, well we need a fucking left wing gov't.

[bluestateguy]

3. Takes one to know one

Conservative white men still won't vote for you Joe.

[Cascadian]

5. Joe's campaign is backfiring.

What is sad is that he doesn't see it. The main reason Faux News and the rest of the loony right like Holy Joe because they believe Joe is dividing up the Democrats and they want him to expose the Demos weaknesses particularly on defense. He really should just call it a day!

4. CS calls Lieberman a Theocratic, Sycophantic Dipshit

[JVS]

6. Well, he could write a book on being unelectable

[JackSwift]

7. Lieberman is unelectable

far more unelectable than Dean ever was.

[The Zanti Regent]

21. Yeah, Idiot joe is still at 4% in New Hampshire?

and I bet they are ALL GOP Crossovers!

[IranianDemocrat]

8. We need people who are exactly OPPOSITE of republicans.

unlike joe.

[Sean Reynolds]

9. Hey Joe, what do ya' know? You can kiss my ass!

*Bends over*

Damn the DLC!

[Bombtrack]

14. Dean is a DLC democrat

why do so many of you not want to accept that?

[IranianDemocrat]

15. Are you kidding me?

The DLC hates Dean.

[Sean Reynolds]

31. Edwards is more DLC than Dean......

Dean isn't as solid DLC as a lot of people think.

[carrowsboy]

10. Carrowsboy calls Lieberman "asshole"

Does he even have testicles?

[oasis]

11. Joe Lockhart calls Joe L's attacks "Over the top and counter productive"

In other words, Lieberman is scuttling the Democratic ship in hopes that all will go down with his sorry ass.

[redeye]

12. Hey...

...with Dean, liberalism might win. With Lieberman, we already know it won't.

[Room101]

13. This coming from a man, who was Booed in two seperate debates

We hear at Du need to stop valuing what Holy Joe says. He is a Republican Trojan horse.

[Cascadian]

16. This is what I think.

He is a Republican operative. He is there to basically "neutralize" the Democrats. What is sad is that he is allowed to get away with it. I wouldn't be surprised if he is a closeted Bush supporter. He wants Bush to win.

John

[Jim Sagle]

18. I think it's even worse than that. I think...

that at some very well-timed point during the general election campaign, Joe will very publicly and voceriferously switch parties and campaign for w.

[Cascadian]

23. You know if Joe doesn't get his way he may just do that!

I would not be surprised. Then he can be free to push his moralist agenda without any real hassles from his fellow Republicans.

17. I like what Harry Truman once said....

he said that if you have two candidates one a Republican and a Democrat pretending to be a Republican, a voter will choose a Republican everytime. Lieberman proves that arguement.

John

[LoZoccolo]

20. Especially if...

...the Republican is the incumbent. Even if Lieberman was a clone of Bush*, Bush* would still have that advantage and win.

[twilight]

33. wise old words of Harry Truman!

Had not heard this Truman quote before, but old Harry was right. Lieberman is a repuke wearing the clothes of a Democrat like so many others in the party!

VOTE NO ON THE RECALL IN CALIFORNIA - AND THAT MEANS NO (same for you Bustamante - you are nothing more than Joe's whore, and I at least know it!)

:kick:

[Ouabache]

19. The other eight candidates ought to vote on whether Joe is electable

and announce their votes on Joe's electability at the next debate.

Let him see what it feels like to be told by another Democrat that he is unelectable.

If Joe wants to show what a god damn good democrat he is he ought to be out there SCREAMING that Bush is an extremist right-winger !!
He ought to be tellng the country that Bush WASN't elected by a majority of the people and that he is STILL unelectable, no mattter which candidate the Democratic Party runs.

Why can't Joe be a team player ? Or is he really on our team?

[IndianaGreen]

29. What if Lieberman wins the nomination?

Holy Joe's strategy could work. He is following the Edwards strategy:

Lieberman's advisers see a clear if complicated path to victory. They are banking on a third-place or better finish in New Hampshire to wash out what they anticipate will be a poorer showing in Iowa, where Dean and Gephardt are running strong. They see the senator making his big move on Feb. 3, when the fight moves to more conservative territory in the South and out West. By that point, the field will be narrowed, and voters will take a closer look at which candidate is best positioned to win a matchup with Bush, a top adviser said.

Dean and Kerry could stumble. Many a leading candidate has seen his campaign come to an untimely end by virtue of a single faux paus. If something like this were to happen in the middle of the primary season, the party could find itself having to choose between a bona fide liberal like Dennis Kucinich, and the only remaining "centrist" Joe Liberman. I don't foresee any of the Kucinich supporters joining Holy Joe in singing Kumbaya.

[Cascadian]

30. Won't happen.

He's already on the rocks though Faux News would not want you think the opposite.

John

[jeter]

22. Lieberman is unelectable

He proved that in 2000.

[Cascadian]

24. Holy Joe damaged Gore in 2000.

If Gore would have picked John Kerry instead of Lieberman, his numbers would have been bigger and Florida would have been a minor issue. Plain and simple.

John

[IndianaGreen]

25. Lieberman is the "great uniter"

When you see Holy Joe attacking Kerry for waffling, I can't help but laugh at the capacity for this small bitter man to make enemies of Democrats across the political spectrum.

Keep up the good work, Joe!

[dean4america]

26. joe can go [words held back]

ROTFLMFAO -- Lieberman must have lost his mind, I mean, in all seriousness. What is this guys problem?

[Lexingtonian]

27. PKB!

The pot's calling the kettle black!

:D

Oh, btw, if you haven't noticed: Joe lives in a world where everybody wins.

[knight_of_the_star]

28. He's in his death throes

Sort of like a sinking ship that can still shoot but hasn't yet gone under the waves. He doesn't know his ship is sinking and he is still ordering to hoist the sails and full volleys to port and starboard. How sad.

[twilight]

32. if anyone is unelectable

It is Joe Lieberman. Look in the mirror you pompous idiot! Although I am not a Howard Dean supporter, I have respect for him - a lot more than I do Joe Lieberman.

Go on home and cry Joe, maybe Cruz will be there to HOLD YOUR HAND!

VOTE NO ON THE RECALL! VOTE FOR GOVERNOR DAVIS TO KEEP HIS JOB!

:kick:

[Iverson]

34. He hates us for our freedoms.

n/t (except this bit)

[no_hypocrisy]

35. Another classic example of the pot calling the kettle black.
