19. Other. Remember them 2000 stickers "Sore Loserman" on them?
Joe is showing that he is a sore loser... if he meant to be in the party then he'd support it. Since he's not really a Democratic Party representative anymore, his only chance really is to run as an Independent. And my prediction is that he'll lose. Big time. Into 3rd place.

Mark.

JOE, You Lost! Get over it.

6. I will never forgive Joe for squashing the vote count in FLA....
He also refused to give up his Senate seat to run as VP...

Those two acts showed me that Joe was all about Joe and could care less about the country and his party....

7. All of them and his stance on the Schiavo case.
I am appalled than any democrat voted for such an obscene unconstitutional intrusion into the private tragedy surrounding that case.

8. His telling me that I "undermine the commander-in-chief at my own peril"
by criticizing his decisions.

That was the final straw for me.

16. Yep, that's it for me, too
Lieberman is good on many issues; in fact, until fairly recently, his overall voting record could perhaps be considered "liberal." But his hawkishness on Iraq no matter what seems to have turned him more conservative on numerous issues, and also turned him into an unapologetic Bush ass-kisser more than any Democrat should be. I don't a problem with conservative Democrats; believe me, I'd love to have conservative Dems representing me rather than the conservative 'pugs I have. I don't have a problem with hawkish Dems, especially if their views seem well-thought out and they are solid Democrats on the majority of issues. I do have a problem with sanctimonious "Democrats" (quotes because with Lieberman's annoucement that he is no longer a Dem but a "Connecticut for Lieberman", it's a bit difficult to consider him one) attacking the majority of the members of his own (former?) party simply because they don't share his wrongheaded views, questioning their patriotism, and giving political cover to this joke of a "President" and his misguided war.

11. Other! He refuses to oppose ShrubCo!
I understand compromise, and many times it's good, but in Joe's case, he votes with Shrub's wishes WAY TOO OFTEN!

I understand he votes with the Dems 90% of the time, but Joe, it's NOT the qty of times, but the issues you agree with this admin. on!

18. This is NOT the time to compromise
His willingness to work with those swine, rooting around in their dirt looking for "common ground". His efforts at "bipartisanship" which gives merit to the neocon agenda.

13. The way he cuts down other Dems for personal gain.
That's the same reason I dislike Feingold and Kucinich, for the record.

17. I have to go with the santimoniousness
just the fact that he's an observant Jew doesn't bother me in the least, what has always bothered me was that he thought that being an observant Jew made him more moral than the average person who wasn't observant of religion.

20. What is there to like about Joe?
Edited on Wed Aug-09-06 09:43 AM by MysteryToMyself
He had decided that Bush was right about social security, but then backtracked about it when he saw he had competition in the election.

He tried to make Al Gore look bad when Gore endorsed someone else for president other than Joe during the democratic primary for president. That, after Gore selected him to run with him as vice president. That shows how much loyalty Joe has.

His arrogance in saying the voters are wrong after he lost. Saying, "I (Joe) am the right person not Lamont". Then splitting the Democratic vote by running on the independent ticket. He is a treacherous traitor if he does that.

The lobbyists have too much influence on Joe and the other DINOs. The middle class and poor are up against it, but Joe and his ilk listen to the lobbyists. Money talks and Bushit walks.

21. AOTA + unquestioning support for Israel
I love Jews but Israel's government
is as Fascist as our own.
That's the real reason he supports Iraq.

I think he should go run for office there
It's the country that he is most loyal to.

23. Chutzpah, hypocrisy, and self-righteousness.
He shares one prevalent characteristic with the Bushoilinis - he regards his election as a "mandate" to impose his (minority) viewpoint on the majority - acting as an elected dictator rather than a representative of the People. He's thorooughly infused with the notion that his opinion, no matter how contrary to that of his constituency, is superior. That attitude has no place in a democracy.

25. Really need an all of the above category.
I don't know why he doesn't just do like his role model, Zell Miller, and join the dark side.
