How do you feel about Joe Lieberman?

[Soral]

I am new around here, but plan on posting a lot so you all get to know me (in a positive way hopefully)

I am seriously considering a congressional run in 2012, unsure if for the house or senate.

If for senate, I would only do it if Lieberman ran again, which he has hinted it.

I just wanted to get your opinions on him, and see if you all are disgusted by him as much as I am.

[Vincardog]

1. Fuck Joe and the horse he road in on

[aquamarina]

25. + infinity

[movonne]

38. ditto

[sufrommich]

2. Have you run for elected office in the past? nt

[Xipe Totec]

10. You posed the question much more tactfully than I would have nt

[Soral]

28. No, but...

I have been gaining many useful connections outside of the democrat party that I think are important to running.

I am doing a very different kind of campaign

[sufrommich]

35. "the democrat party "? You might want to start smaller

than congressman or senator.

[Soral]

36. I say if the insane right can do it... so can we.

Except we will bring logic and sanity...

It's all about popularity, and really nothing more (as far as elections go)

Substance and facts are secondary (unfortunately) in the current political world, so why not take advantage.

I think (hope) most people would take unexperienced sanity vs experienced insanity.

[Radical Activist]

50. They also bring a lot of money.

If you don't have a lot of personal money to spend then running for an office that covers a smaller territory is easier to win.

Lieberman absolutely needs to be defeated. Good luck with whatever you decide!

[tblue37]

72. Republicans call it the DEMOCRAT party. Our side calls it the

Democratic Party.

[SDuderstadt]

37. It's not the "democrat party"...

it's the "Democratic Party". Referring to it as the "democrat party" is a GOP slur designed to deprive us of the goodwill associated with word "democratic".

Surely, that's not your aim here, is it?

[Soral]

40. semantics, do you call yourself a democratic?

[sufrommich]

42. It's hard to believe anyone who is politically aware does not

know that the republicans use "democrat party" as a derogative term.

[JonLP24]

51. I had no idea myself honestly

If it is I don't hear it often.

On edit-Wow, sorry. Used since the 1930's so it has been used often. :blush: <--------embarrassed.

[SDuderstadt]

60. Don't be embarrassed...

JLP. It is, admittedly, somewhat of a nuance, but an important one, nonetheless.

It's one thing to admit your mistake and express embarrassment, as you have...it's quite another thing to stupidly defend or rationalize it, as the OP is trying to do.

[bluethruandthru]

43. No, not just semantics!

The republics have taken the name of our party and shortened it as a sign of disrespect.
We've allowed them to control the political messages is this country since the reagan/Lee Atwater years and it's got to end. They made "liberal" a dirty word along with "socialist", "entitlement" etc., etc.

[SDuderstadt]

47. Do you understand the difference between....

a noun and an adjective? A noun is not a modifier. I am a Democrat. I am registered as a Democrat and I belong to the Democratic party. Does DNC stand for Democrat National Committee? Is the name of this website the "Democratunderground"?

It isn't "semantics", dude. Again, the proper name of our party is the "Democratic Party". As I stated earlier, the GOP calls it the "Democrat party" for a reason. Surely, you're not trying to help the GOP, are you?You do intend to run as a Democrat, right?

[blondeatlast]

55. Do you, who are planning to run for national office, understand

the difference between a noun and an adjective? And the need for proper capitalization?

[blondeatlast]

59. Perhaps another political party is more deserving of your disrespect.

I've read a few of your other posts; you are quite interesting.

[JerseygirlCT]

65. Before you make your run

Perhaps you should learn the difference between a noun and an adjective.

[ThomThom]

69. it is the name of the party after all, so hang around, enjoy your time

at DU. You will learn something. Hopefully you already have. It is OK to read and post little, that is my style but I learn from these great people here every day. So chill and surf. Good luck.

[Arkana]

80. No, it's absolutely not semantics

and if you're actually thinking about running for office you should probably learn the difference. In the meantime, enjoy your stay.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

83. Bad grammar on top of a RW meme

Not a good start, Senator.

[Tatiana]

53. Tell us more about this "Democrat party"

[Iggo]

66. Just run as a Republican.

[Arkana]

79. "The Democrat Party"?

If you're going to walk the halls here you're going to call it by its proper name: "The Democratic Party".

[AmericanMan1958]

3. He's a PUKE!!!!

[JustAnotherGen]

4. I'm not in CT

But I'm friends with an older gentleman who owns 20 apartment buildings and 50 rental properties in and around Greenwhich CT. He also owns several restaurants and a heating and cooling business. This translates to mean: Filty Rich.

He can't stand him. He wants him out. And he's an Independent but that's because he leans farther left than the Democratic Party.

[HereSince1628]

5. Well, I'd like him about as much as a bubo

especially if it were on Dick Cheney's ass.

[Iggo]

6. He's a fuckwad who should go away and get busy livin' or dyin'.

[asdjrocky]

7. You won't find too many friends of Joe here. nt

[no_hypocrisy]

8. He's a self-serving weasel.

No party wants him, that's why he's an independent.

[joeybee12]

9. Loaded question...if most of us said what we honestly think we'd get banned...

Holy Joe is THAT bad.

Welcome to DU.

[BootinUp]

11. Is this a trick question? lol.

Lieberman is reviled in the liberal blogosphere. You will have plenty of company here.

[Jamastiene]

12. What do I think of Joe Lieberman?

x(

Can't stand him.

[Nite Owl]

13. What I have to say about Joe

is not appropriate to write on this board. That bad.

[blondeatlast]

14. I try not to. Thinking about pandering, John McCain armpit sniffers tends to make me

sick to my stomach.

Besides, I loathe his politics and well, him too.

[joeybee12]

19. Shudder!

Now I have an image of Joe sniffing john's armpit.

I'm sending you my psychiatric bills!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AlinPA]

15. I assume you are a Democrat. Answer: I don't trust Joe Lieberman. He and Specter are both

like chameleons.

[joe black]

16. He's a fucking loser.

A pile of dog shit could do a better job then Joe Blow.

[creon]

17. Hack

He is, basically, a political hack.

He seems concerned only with himself and maintaining his position. I think that he needs to be regarded as an imprtant person.

[LeftishBrit]

18. Can't stand him; always thought he and Tony Blair must be related somehow!

[damntexdem]

20. Joe LIEberman needs to be taken down.

I would love to see him out of office -- the sooner the better.

[Deep13]

21. I'm sure you have better sources of information than an informal DU poll.

If you don't, then you are in no position to run for either the U.S. House or Senate.

[NNN0LHI]

22. If you are seriously considering a congressional run in 2012, for the house or senate ...

... I advise not to post here.

What some anonymous bonehead posts here can and will be used against you.

Just friendly advice. Good luck with your candidacy for the house or senate.

Hope you have a lot of money. :)

Don

[Soral]

31. hey, if someone wants to get into a debate about online forums

I have an easy answer "At least I am part of the conversation instead of part of the problem"

I say bring it on if someone challeged me about online anytime.

[SargeUNN]

62. I am sad to say this but

I would agree that I wouldn't post here at DU if you want to run for office. It is risky to post at any site and one must be cautious what the put on the web when running for office or anything that has a public conscience value to it.

[blondeatlast]

34. Good advice.

I'm sure soral has the best ofintentions, of course, but that's excellent advice.

[ladywnch]

23. I'm too much of a lady to answer that! n/t

[CanonRay]

24. Slime. Weasel. Hypocrite. Backstabber. Jackass. Creep.

Get the picture?

[Mass]

26. A quick search could have answered your question! What do YOU think of him?

After all, he is your senator.

[Soral]

33. I hate him, and I think I can stop him because... I'm a jew too

nobody calls him out on his insane zionism... but another jew could IMO.

[Ozymanithrax]

27. He has a few liberal areas, and too many Conservative areas.

He is better than a Republican.
However, a pile of dog shit is better than a Republican, though I am not making comparisons between Lieberman and a pile of dog shit.

[Gman]

29. He used to be great on social issues

but I'm not even sure about that anymore.

[BrklynLiberal]

30. a picture is worth a million words.

[timtom]

32. A treacherous, evil man

with divided loyalties!

[Hawkeye-X]

39. You asked.. and I shall tell you

One Grade A USDA Certified Bovine Excrement.

In other words.

Grade A PIECE OF SHIT!

Lieberman will never get past '12.

Hawkeye-X

[southernyankeebelle]

41. He is a gonner. Who wants someone who lies out of both sides of his mouth. I would want not vote

for a fence sitter. Hopefully he will be defeated.

[asjr]

44. Joe is actually a rattlesnake in disguise.

[Still Blue in PDX]

45. The only thing about him that I consider remotely likable is his resemblance to Max Wright,

the actor who played Willie Tanner on ALF.

Lieberman is a piece of detritus with just enough humanity to be capable of sucking up to all forms of nasty people he perceives as powerful--unctuous is the word that comes to mind.

I will always be bewildered by his being chosen by John Kerry as a running mate. What was up with that??

[11 Bravo]

46. I compare him unfavorably to genital warts.

[AsahinaKimi]

48. I have a great word for Joe Lieberman

bakayaro!　ばかやろ　　　

(Its Japanese, I am sure you can google it)

[Owl]

49. Sucks.

[foxfeet]

52. He is loathsome.

[AndrewP]

54. I think he is a sell out whore

[lpbk2713]

56. He's a weasel.

And I extend my apologies to all others weasels who have more fur.

[SargeUNN]

57. JOE MUST GO

He is hideous

[Swamp Rat]

58. Nothing could make me vote for LIEberman.

Nothing.

[apocalypsehow]

61. Joementum!

Catch it! :rofl:

Actually, I think he's a little turncoat weasel. If you run against him, I hope you win.

[Binka]

63. Got Some Red Shoes And A Big Nose?

2012 is just around the corner but you are still determining House or Senate. Right. LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL.

[JerseygirlCT]

64. LOATHE him

Always have.

Happily cast my vote for a Republican years ago when he ran against Weicker.

Joe is an egomaniac with no integrity. It's all about him.

[NoPasaran]

67. He's not too popular around here

But when my family had trouble getting my father's grave at the Connecticut Veterans Cemetery properly marked, Senator Lieberman's office was the only one to give us any assistance at all. I realize that most of the work was probably performed by his staff, but Lieberman did spend an hour one evening talking to my brother on the phone. And in the end, we finally got the grave properly marked.

I certainly don't agree with him on a number of issues, but I can't help but feel grateful for his help. And I'd certainly take him over my two senators, Cornyn and Hutchison.

[ThomThom]

68. start small and work your way up

running for the Senate is a BIG deal
Lieberman is a disgrace, he is a corporate shill but there are a lot corporate shills

[JuniperLea]

70. He is vile filth...

He is a waste of skin, DNA, and oxygen. He is the epitome of scum. He makes The Grinch look like a beloved Saint. His evil is trumped only by the likes of Dick Cheney.

[tblue37]

71. We call him Lieberdweeb and LIEberman. nt

[mdmc]

73. Typical DLC'er

[Brother Buzz]

74. I think he's a competent bus driver

McCain thinks so, too, but he's senile.

[Greyhound]

75. Are you very rich and/or very well-connected?

The Democratic Party will not support you if you intend to act on what you've said, and of course Connecticut's Big Money will go to whomever offers them the best ROI.

Good luck, I'd vote for you if I could.

[bvar22]

76. Joe is a good DLC Team Player.

Former Chairman of the DLC Joe Lieberman"took one for the DLC Team" by taking the heat for derailing Health Care Reform.
He had nothing else to lose, so he got to play the scapegoat.
If not for Joe Lieberman, one of the other DLC Senators would have had to come out.
Joe will be well rewarded for his role in the Kabuki Theater.

[Raine]

77. I dispise that two faced backstabbing

asshole, that about sums it up :puke:

[DailyGrind51]

78. He is among the most odious vermin ever spawned upon this earth!

[KG]

81. joe at the RNC

[cyr330]

82. He's a FUCKING PIG

[lonestarnot]

84. Droopy.

:puke:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

85. Nauseous. n/t
