Lieberman Hates being called 'Republican Lite'

Per Joe: "This is one of the big lies that the people against me are spreading and I'm not going to let them get away with it!"

4. I posted this Hartford Courant article this morning..."Stop Whining, Joe"

No one seemed to care, but it is kinda funny nonetheless. Joe is just a crybaby. People are actually questioning him and he's not used to it.

10. Oh I read it.

I wasn't awake enough to say anything yet (lack of caffeine). Anything that torments Joey naturally delights me. Chortle!

18. LOL! No apologies necessary!

It was early morning, when everybody is getting fired up. I just assumed it sank like a stone in the heat of the morning postings.

5. Perhaps Joe isn't familiar with his record?

It pretty much speaks for itself.

He attends Balls at The White House, invited by President and Mrs. Bush.

He votes like a Republican.

He acts like a Republican.

He won't support the Democratic Party.

Sounds like Republican Lite to me. Joe's the only one who could have changed things.

He's not going to let them get away with it

However, he WILL let the GOP get away with anything they want.

Hence, the term "Republican Lite."

Edited on Thu Mar-30-06 03:12 PM by Norquist Nemesis

You should just become a Republican! edit to add :sarcasm:

Funny how the Cons all call him a "Moderate" Democrat rather than a "Liberal Democrat". That should tell him something right there!

13. Hey Joe- the truth is no libel. Get used to it.

Lamont should really hammer the 'whining' and 'Republican lite' things. Lieberman just can't defend against them on substance.

26. What's Lite about it?

Joe should just admit he's a republican.
Yes it's shameful but why go through life in denial
pretending to be something your not.

Edited on Thu Mar-30-06 04:03 PM by Zhade

As in, he's light on Democratic principles, at least in some significant areas (like foreign policy and separation of church and state).
