G.O.P. Deserts One of Its Own for Lieberman

New York Times

Published: August 19, 2006

Facing Senator Joseph I. Lieberman’s independent candidacy, Republican officials at the state and national level have made the extraordinary decision to abandon their official candidate, and some are actively working to help Mr. Lieberman win in November.

Despite Mr. Lieberman’s position that he will continue to caucus with Democrats if re-elected, all three Republican Congressional candidates in Connecticut have praised Mr. Lieberman and have not endorsed the party’s nominee, Alan Schlesinger. An independent group with Republican ties is raising money for Mr. Lieberman, who has been a strong supporter of President Bush on the Iraq war.

Senator John McCain of Arizona, while saying he would support the Republican nominee, is not planning to campaign for him, and even allowed two of his aides to consult with the Lieberman camp before the Aug. 8 Democratic primary. And Newt Gingrich, the Republican who once served as House speaker, has endorsed Mr. Lieberman’s candidacy.

Wow, for a Democrat, 'ol Boltin' Joe sure seems to be loved by the Republicans. Does this level of support for Joe over the Republican's own candidate help to prove that Joe was really what his Democratic critics claim, a closeted Republican?

Yes, Joe is really a Republican
No, Joe is a true, blue Democrat
Joe is a true blue American

Lieberman is a Bush enabler who is out for himself first.

If he had *any* affinity to the Democratic party, he wouldn't be on his current course.

Voted : No, Joe is a true, blue Democrat
Just of the Yellow Dog variety. But we shouldn't scoff at this. It means that true partisanship is alive and well in our political system.

Voted : No, Joe is a true, blue Democrat
Joe Lieberman voted 90% of the time with the Democrats in Congress how can anybody say he is a Republican?Maybe he is not a socialist-lite politician like Ho Chi Clinton or Howard Dean but he is not a Republican.

Sure. He is better than some of the Repubs on the issue that matters to me.

But mostly he is a liberal scumbag like the rest of the democrats.
