INTERVIEW

Lieberman: I'll Back Republicans in 2010

Sort-of Democrat says he'll 'call them as I see them'

By Kevin Spak| Posted Oct 30, 09 11:28 AM CDT|

(Newser) – Joe Lieberman says he “probably will support some Republicans in 2010” and may not seek the Democratic nomination in his own 2012 reelection campaign. “I’m going to call them as I see them,” he tells ABC News, saying he’s weary of “partisan, passionate, hardcore” legislators on both sides of the aisle. “Sometimes, the better choice is somebody who's not a Democrat.”

He says it’s an “open question” whether he’ll run as a Democrat, because he finds being an independent liberating. “You're not tied to a particular inner group and feel that extra pressure to march in lockstep. I think that the public generally is fed up with all the partisanship, and us against them.” He says he will, however, support Chris Dodd in his home state.

You wanna fix this economy... This needs to be brought up. No CEO or Business manager or owner is to make more than 100 times what their lowest paid employee makes. No bonus should exceed 30 times what the lowest employee is paid. This would solve the problem of greedy CEOs fucking over their employees. If the CEO wants more pay he has to pay his employees better.

He's saying he'll join a republican fillibuster against the public option when like almost 70% of my state supports the public option, he supported McCain, and basically refers to himself as bipartisan when most of his examples of "bipartisanship" involve backing Republican issues that he supports. He's done for in 2012

I see very little to no news on a recall election for Lieberman. Why is this? Now would seem to be an ideal time to start one to prod Lieberman into publicly supporting letting health reform get an up or down vote. He appears to do what he's told. Show him clearly who's boss. (Then recall him anyway for being shameless.)

Most of the Dems I know in CT are behind Joe 100% because they have seen Obama destroy the aviation industry at United Tech, and now try to destroy the insurance industry - of which Hartford has long been the capital. That means jobs will leave CT and we will face more problems with our state taxes. There are some idiots in power who think money grows on trees. You can't spend what you don't have. Politicians haven't learned this simple rule. The public option is NOT free. The government becomes a broker to tell you and me what policy we need to buy, how much we will pay, and then how much surcharges will be added to pay for the Advisory Boards that will be created to oversee our care. I've read the 240 page mock up given to the politicians and ran through the 1990 page bill to see what it will cover. Unless you have taken time to at least review the table of contents, then you have NO right to make comments about something of which you are 100% ignorant. The irony is that there will still be some people who will not be insured. It is a travesty.

You're right, money does not grow on trees. But It is wasted by outsourcing health care to private companies. Insurance companies are basically unneeded middlemen. They profit by making excuses for denying care. The economics are easy. By the government spending money, everyone else saves much more than is being spent. And yes, Connecticut loses jobs -- unneeded jobs that are bleeding the country dry.

He didn't say he'd support Republicans; he said he might support a Republican if they are the better choice in that particular race. It's a reasonable position that I wish evey legislator would take. Who's the best choice without regard to what letter is after their name. It's a novel idea; I hope it catches on. Reply

RobN
Oct 30, 09 12:16 PM CDT

Wonka, perhaps it's because I'm not 20 anymore, but I've come to accept that they are all corrupt. They've all got their pockets lined by somebody. Both sides of the aisle are equally guilty of this, for every Republican you can name who is bought and paid for by the insurance industry, I can name a Democrat bought and paid for by the trial lawyers association or the unions. What does that accomplish? Now I haven't heard of any Reps being kicked out of the GOP for trying to find common ground, in fact our last nominee for president was that kind of a guy. But the fact remains that a lot of the bills coming out now are pretty far left, the public option and cap and trade, just to name two. It'd be pretty hard to meet in the middle on those since they pretty much go to the core beliefs of both parties.

Newser Editors: "I'll Back Republicans in 2010" This seems like a misquote of Lieberman, which has a much stronger connotation than "probably will support some Republicans in 2010" (what he actually said). It's the difference between being a moderate/independent, vs. him swinging completely to the otherside. Reply

I love how your post had two thumbs down (before I countered with a thumb up). I really like newser but it does seem as though the registered userbase is dominated by partisan teamsters. You're absolutely right, everything shouldn't be about party. Unfortunately that's how our intellectually deficit electorate (yes, I'm talking to you, fellow posters) simplify an otherwise complex political process that allows them to see the world in terms of good guys and bad guys. It's a shame. I'll say it again, both parties are controlled by criminals.

We will pay and pay and still the problem will remain. Plus - since Medicare will be robbed, I worry about what I will face in a few years. We are so doomed and yet so many of us have no clue because we believe everything we are told and don't do the research ourselves. We don't deserve to lose our Constitution but we are. How sad.

I've been a Democrat for @ 40 years and after Obama, Axlerod, Emanuel, Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Larson, DiLauro, Waxman, & Waters, I too will look to a candidate who realizes that big government robs us of our money and our freedoms. Is it because the people I mentioned are also members of the American Socialsit Party? Too bad they took the link of members of Congress who were members of the ASP off the site. I really don't care how much CEO's get as long as they run a strong company and pay their employees well. This is what we have lost. Jobs are gone and will not come back. Drop taxes on small businesses so that they can survive in this economy. The Health care fiasco will further destroy our economy and if cap and trade goes, there will go the rest of us. Welcome to the banana republic of Obama. Please take off your blinders and look at what is happening. Reply

Observer: My grandparents arrived in steerage in 1912. I've worked hard for everything I have. I needed to carry 2 jobs while attending college. My mom was a drop out because she couldn't afford high school. She was one of 6 and they needed the money at home. I value a dollar because it was never there when I was young. That is why made the comments about the need for small businesses to flourish so that we don't have greater unemployment. People tend to forget the the money the government is spending is OUR money - taken from us as taxes; the more people who work, the more who pay taxes. The more people who don't, then the more money is needed to be spent in welfare. Did you know that one out of every 6 kids in the UK comes from a family in which NO ONE has held a job for generations? Is that what you want here? I never received a handout and I survived. It wasn't easy but honorable.
