Lieberman On Attending RNC Convention: ‘I Will Do It’ And Speak Against ‘Partisan Mud-Slinging’»

On Meet the Press, host Tom Brokaw informed guest Joe Lieberman (I-CT) that nearly 50,000 activists have signed onto the “Lieberman Must Go” petition being circulated by Brave New Films. “Do you think you’re going to be comfortable next year in the Democratic caucus?” Brokaw asked. Lieberman said he’s crossed party lines to support John McCain because “this is no ordinary time.”

Brokaw followed-up by asking if that means he will speak at the Republican convention. Lieberman practically confirmed that he would indeed speak. After stating that no decision has been made, Lieberman went on to say:

If Sen. McCain feels that I can help his candidacy…I will do it. But I assure you this Tom, I’m not going to go to that convention — the Republican convention — and spend my time attacking Barack Obama. I’m going to go there really talking about why I support John McCain and why I hope a lot of other independents and Democrats will do that.

And frankly, I’m going to go to a partisan convention and tell them — if I go — why it’s so important that we start to act like Americans and not as partisan mud-slingers.

Brokaw said “it sounds like you’re going to go.” Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) added, “It looks like that to me too.” Watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V2XtTa-WGA&eurl

Later in the roundtable segment, Andrea Mitchell said the “good money” is that Lieberman would deliver the keynote address at the RNC Convention.

Obama keeps doing silly things like talking about issues. Do you suppose Holy Joe will finally answer Barack for McCain, just like he helped McCain with his gaffe on who the Iranians were aiding?

come out and say, he fucked up when he chose this man as his veep.

Still thinks he has any relevance to anything.

there is precious little left that the right can do before Bush leaves office.

I say right now that Reid says, enough is enough, risking losing control for six months, and cuts Lieberman loose.

"And frankly, I’m going to go to a partisan convention and tell them — if I go — why it’s so important that we start to act like Americans and not as partisan mud-slingers."

???

What a smegging douchebag.

Lieberman:puke:

they should do this just before the conventionj, so he speaks as a

disgraced former Democrat

and not as a person of any importance in the party.

Don't we want poltical harmony and bringing everyone together? :)

nothing. Fucker is a member of the doing anything to get in power club even if it means bombing people.

in lieu of never-ending war, war profits, and the defense of Israel. "Partisan Mud-Slinging" is the straw man named Joe
