Well, there will be at least one less corrupt piece of shit in the Senate after 2012.

More like a scalpel. He had a really nasty case of melanoma. His 4th time, if I remember correctly.
The fact that he was a 72 year old 4 time cancer survivor with a delusional dipshit psycho teabagging moose slaughtering running mate probably scared away more votes than his actual right wing politics did.
But not Holy Joe. He was on board all the way. And then went back to claiming to be a "Democrat" again the day after the election. Fucking hypocrite.

While Palin certainly didn't help McCain's cause in 2008, I believe that he would have lost the election no matter who he would have chosen as a running mate. People were tired of Bush and saw McCain as a carbon copy of him, and no way were people going to vote for what they saw as four more years of the same ol' shit.

The Republicans were screwed because of eight years of Bush. The American public were so desperate that they voted for a little known Senator from one of the most corrupt political machines in the country with a dodgy past.

It continues. As soon as the Republicans won the house back Obama sounds like a Republican now.
Top Ten Horrible Things done to Us by Outgoing Sen. Joe Lieberman
Posted on 01/19/2011 by Juan
Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) announced Tuesday that he would not seek reelection in 2012, and progressive Americans breathed a sigh of collective relief. It is worth reviewing the most horrible things Lieberman has done to us since he has been in office.
10. Undermined Jeffersonian ideals by joining with George W. Bush to throw government money to religious organizations.
9. Revived, with Lynn Cheney, McCarthyite techniques in order to harass and intimidate university professors who dared attempt to explain the historical and political context for the rise of al-Qaeda and its attacks on the United States. He even put out a blacklist of 40 university professors and administrators, including the President of Wesleyan University.
8. In 2004, revived the war-mongering, militarizing, anti-progressive ‘Committee on the Present Danger‘ to fight the anti-war movement and keep the US in Iraq, as well as to promote war on Iran.
7. Deprived Democrats of the votes to pass a single-payer option universal health care law, acting as client of big Medicine instead of looking out for ordinary people.
6. Called Israeli’s pre-planned aussault on defenseless little Gaza in 2008-2009 “self defense” on Israel’s part.
5. Intimidated Amazon into ceasing to allow Wikileaks to be hosted on its servers, even though Wikileaks is not proven to have done anything illegal. Urged that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange be prosecuted for espionage.
4. Urged prosecution of the New York Times for publishing US State Department cables given to the NYT by Wikileaks, despite the precedent of the Pentagon Papers.
3. Joined, in 2002, the Neoconservative ‘Committee for the Liberation of Iraq’ to get up a war of aggression on that country on false pretenses. His war killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and over 4000 US troops, threw Iraq into long-term instability, and made Iran a regional superpower.
2. Repeatedly called from 2006 for aggression against Iran by the US Air Force.
1. Defected to the Republicans in 2008 and tried to make Sarah Palin Vice President of the United States, saying ‘everyone should listen to Sarah Palin.’

There was a real push to go to war with Iran. Wikileaks showed Saudi Arabia was pushing for it more than Israel was. Also, at this time armed nuclear warheads were on their way to the middle east on a B-52 bomber but built in security procedures and airmen having the courage to stand up kept them from going. I would love to know the line of command on the orders on that fiasco.
There's always something fishy in Washington DC and Liberman was one stinky fish.
It's hard to believe risking World War III would be the result of some politicians, oil companies, and contractors wanting to make more money but maybe it's simple as that and maybe certain people are just that far gone and stupid.
