Lieberman whining that he can't vote tomorrow.... |
|
BOSTON -- Joe Lieberman, John McCain's most prominent supporter in Connecticut, still can't vote for his man in tomorrow’s primary.
In 2006, the then-Democratic senator lost his party's primary but prevailed in the general election as an independent. Today, Lieberman styles himself an "independent Democrat," but voter-registration forms have little room for such vagaries: in Connecticut, primaries are closed to members of the opposing party.
"I won’t vote in the Democratic primary because I’m supporting John, but I can't vote in the Republican primary," Lieberman said. "I’m blocked."
So Lieberman will stay home on Tuesday, the first time he could ever remember skipping a vote. "I may have missed by a fluke a local election," Lieberman said Sunday night, while joining McCain to watch the Super Bowl at a Boston hotel.http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2008/02/no_lieberman_vo.html

Once we get a few vote cushion in the senate come november we can take away his seniority/committee seatings, freeing him up to register as a republican.

Fuck you, Joe! Your Vote tomorrow won't be missed by anyone; I wonder if you know that? Would that you were that irrelevant every other voting day.
