would you vote for Lieberman if he got the Democratic nomination??

1. Hasn't this question already been asked?

:shrug:

[nedbal]

6. not as a poll format, I rarely respond to questions thrown out, but I do click polls, it's easier

[demrabble]

2. ANY Democrat.

I'm voting for ANY Democrat.

Because ANY Democrat is preferable to anyone from any other party.

[TahitiNut]

3. One of the things I love about voting: the write-in.

:evilgrin:

[Cascadian]

4. The point is pretty moot.

Besides, Lieberman was never a real Democrat anyway.

5. I'd get drunk first, stagger into the voting booth and do it...

Don't like him, but I sure as hell don't want no damn repuke. Not that there's a chance in hell he'd run or even get the nomination, there isn't, but that's what I'd do.

[nedbal]

10. 200% agree - - Don't like him, but I sure as hell don't want no damn repuke.

DINO or not if our fellow dems nonimate him , it's better than a repug

[xultar]

7. Lieberman gets the Democratic nom. It is an impossibility.

[Hippo_Tron]

8. Lieberman is an Independent so I don't see how he gets the nomination

Plus if he did, I have a feeling the party would split. Not quite sure what I'd do.

[emulatorloo]

9. This is as likely as George Bush getting the 2008 Democratic nomination n/t

[scarletwoman]

11. No friggin' way. Not that I think that would EVER happen.

But if it did, the Democratic Party would be dead to me. I would utterly refuse to have anything to do with it. Why would I give any support to an organization that would choose a nasty little Ruling Class sycophant like Lieberman as its leader?

12. Let's not underestimate our strength. . .

we're the reason why Lieberman would never get the nomination, and hopefully Biden too.

[Selatius]

13. Funny, where are the shrill voices crying for you to vote for D regardless of who it is???

I see a few small responses, but none of the impassioned rants I saw last night in this thread:

18. Sad that DU dems are so far left at least 28% would rather give it up to a repug than a dem

Poll question: IF Hillary gets the nomination will you vote for her?

Poll result (337 votes)
Yes (211 votes, 63%) Vote
No (94 votes, 28%)

[Selatius]

22. According to this poll, 76 percent here gave it up to the Repub instead of voting for Joe.

Even though Joe, in this scenario, won the Dem nomination.

[DemExpat]

14. Thank goodness I can vote no and still be a loyal Dem!

:kick:

Since he is an Independent.....

15. This should really be moved to Fantasy

or Science Fiction. :eyes:

[chknltl]

16. Vote for Palpatine???? Where have I seen this before????

NO, I would not vote for lieberman to represent me under any circumstance. :patriot:

[Gman]

17. I see so far there's 41 non-Democrats here

Maybe those 41 are all Freepers, maybe Republics or maybe Greens. In any event, they're all enemies of the Democratic Party.

You see, if my party, the Democratic Party nominates Lieberman then he's the nominee. Anyone voting against and actively works to defeat the Democratic Party nominee is just as much the enemy as is a Republic, or a Green or a Libertarian, whatever. In any event, if you work to defeat our candidate, you're the enemy.

[nedbal]

19. agree

[salin]

20. or perhaps there are 41 people who reject the premise of the post

given that Sen Lieberman (I Conn) left the democratic party. :shrug:

[havocmom]

23. BINGO!

salin the great nails it!

[Gman]

25. Never thought of it as a trick question

given that Lieberman was the VP nominee in '00. It's not beyond the complete and total realm of possibilities for Lieberman to be the nominee regardless of however unlikely it is.

[salin]

28. I didn't vote in the poll.. because there wasn't a

"wouldn't happen" option. His latest announcement that he would fillibuster with repubs for surge - sorta solidify me belief that the premise (that Lieberman could be the candidate) is absurd. Heck he did terrribly - even when he started out as "the front runner" (name recognition) in the 2004 primaries, was still a democrat, and hadn't seemed to fully jump the ship.

[PassingFair]

21. Your party, right or wrong?

You might as well be a freeper yourself, with that attitude.

Spoken like a GOOD GERMAN.

What's in a name?

If the party goes SOUTH, I'm
NOT going to support it.

[Gman]

24. My party, right or wrong. I'm what's known as a

Yellow Dog Democrat. I'd vote for a yellow dog (even Lieberman) if it ran as a Democrat.

But its funny how people talk about "the party" and forget that they ARE the party and they can change anything in the party if they have the votes to do it. So if you don't like something in the party, be it the nominee or policies, get enough votes together and change it, or don't allow it to happen. If you don't have enough votes, you don't have enough votes. You don't pick up all your marbles and whine, "I'm going home!"

[trashcanistanista]

27. The Dems that would never vote for

Lieberman and would go Green, etc as an alternative are the same ones who would fight to the death to assure Leiberman would never be in that position. In this context, you really can't denigrate them (us). It was those same Dems that provided an all out ballistic support of Lamont in the primary and did everthing possible to get Lamont the win, against all odds. Point being, you can't judge the loyalty of a Dem based on "Lieberman" who is so extreme a turncoat/nutcase/traitor. That being said, there is really no other Dem potential candidate that most loyal to the party would not be willing to hold our nose for. Loyalty has it's limit and Lieberman would and should be the benchmark for lower than the lowest bar.

[Pushed To The Left]

26. If a rightwing Republican is the alternative, then the answer is Yes!

However, I highly doubt Lieberman will get the nomination.

[Bluestar]

29. Liebermann almost made me stay home in 2000--couldn't stand him then n/t

[Raksha]

30. Absolutely not! But it's an academic question

because he'd never get the Democratic nomination.

[mmonk]

31. I've already answered this in another thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x3171465

The answer is still no.

[MiniMe]

32. He is an independent, not a democrat

[WinkyDink]

33. Can we say : Waste of a topic?!

[Wizard777]

34. Only if the Dems do not Impeach Bush and put him on trial

Then I would vote for Lieberman if he ran as an independant on a platform of charging republicans as accessories to War Crimes and crimes against humanity and the dems as accessories after the fact. If the Dems let Bush slide on his crimes. The US Constitution will be a dead letter and we must then live in mortal fear of what the next President thinks he's entitled to get away with. Bush & Cheney's policies go way beyond Bin Laden on the Fear Scale. They are well into the Hitler end of the paradox.

[Spirochete]

35. If the elections got so fucked up

that Lieberman became the Democratic presidential candidate, I would consider them a total waste of time, and not even bother to participate in them.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

36. Would You Still Eat Potato Chips If They Made Green Aliens Jump Out Of Your Butt?

Way I see it, both questions are equal in their premise's legitimacy.

You know damn well there's no way in hell he'd get the nom, so your poll is nothing more than a farcicle attempt at making a point that doesn't actually exist.
