Holy Joe hits out at 'paranoid' Democrats - "hyper-partisan, politically paranoid" liberal base
Lieberman hits out at 'paranoid' Democrats
By Edward Luce in Washington

Published: November 9 2007 02:00 | Last updated: November 9 2007 02:00

The 2008 Democratic candidates are beholden to a "hyper-partisan, politically paranoid" liberal base that could endanger the final nominee's chances of winning next year's presidential election, Joe Lieberman, the former vice-presidential Democratic candidate, said yesterday.

In his most outspoken attack on fellow Democrats since he was unsuccessfully challenged last year by Ned Lamont, a liberal Democrat, for his Senate seat in Connecticut, Mr Lieberman yesterday said he might not vote for the Democratic presidential nominee next year.

16. When he didn't step to the side after Lamong won the Primary
he showed his lack of loyalty to the party... at that point he stopped being a democrat

8. He knows his career in congress is done at the end of his term.
He is making sure the neocons have a job for him outside politics as he has burned all his bridges with the Dems.

25. Exactly what I was thinking.
Holy Joe is a conniving, unprincipled, amoral prick.

11. Correction. He was SUCCESSFULLY challanged by Ned Lamont
He jobbed the system. It still bugs me that he put more effort into that than he did with the vote I cast for him in 2000.

15. Here's hoping that we pick up enough new "Ds" in 08 to kick Joe to the curb
and strip him of his chairmanships.. Let that little weasel stew in his own juices..

17. Joe should just change his fucking party affiliation and get it over with.
He's the GOP equivalent of Al Gore's campaign. Is he Republican? Is he going to switch parties? Is he going to do it? When? TELL ME!!!!

24. Cheney, Bush and the neocons are the hyper-paranoid ones. Not the liberals.
Joe, as a neocon, is projecting. That is what neocons do all day long.
