The Republicans Have Their Moment Too
Filed under: Politik > John McCain
This is bound to raise some eyebrows!
Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman is set to speak at the Republican National Convention next month.
The self-proclaimed "independent Democrat" has been campaigning with John McCain often and is said to be on the list of potential future VPs.
At times Lieberman has criticized Presidential hopeful Barack Obama due to his opposition to the Iraq war.
Also at the Convention next month will be former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Giuliani will be giving the keynote address at the event in Minnesota.
And, several friends of McCain and potential VPs will also be present, such as President George Bush, first lady Laura Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and even Cali's own Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Aside from Giuliani, some other former Presidential hopefuls will also be in attendance to show their support, including Mike Huckabee and Governor Mitt Romney who's said to be the top contender for VP.
As for Lieberman, he says, "I'm going to the Republican convention not to attack the Democratic candidate, but to explain to the American people why I support John McCain. Sen. McCain asked me to do it, and I strongly support him."
McCain's spokeswhore says said, "Our convention will showcase a cross-section of leaders who will highlight John McCain's long commitment to putting our country first — before self-interest or politics."
We'll be watching!

first
Go Obama
old bitch
It's a shame this poor excuse for a man might actually win this whole thing because a few hicks don't want a n****r to be president….
I LOVE AMERICA (insert sarcasm)
looks like the circus is coming to town huh? i want to get my face painted and eat cotton candy
Ah just like WW2. Aiding and abetting the Nazis.
Perez you are such a bigot. The only reason you like DEMOCRAPS is that they support gays like you. Explain one thing to me, where in any books did it say that God or any super being put fags and lesbo on earth. If you daddy was a fag you would not be here. If you momma was a lesbo you would not be here. PLEASE EXPLAIN, you have my e-mail address. STOP picking on McCain, his party is the only ones that kept this country going.
PIECE OF SHIT ASSHOLE MOTHER FUCKER
-OBAMA IS THE NEXT PRESIDENT
Guilianni makes me sick!! I have never seen someone use a tragedy such as 9/11 to further his/her career like he did, I was so glad when he lost! I can't stand him!! He and his homewrecking wife can go to hell.
Awesome.
You're looking at out next president!
God help us if he wins in November! Expect more war, recession, foreclosures, high gas bills….jeeze!!
Cross section of leaders??? LMAO..
McFAIl finished 894 in a class of 897. He crashed 3 planes, his only participation in the war was as a POW and he came back to the US as a celebrity.
Then his wife who kept herself pure for his ass to return after 6 years got into an accident and was crippled. What does McFail do? He leaves her ass for a younger RICHER Skeletor looking PILL poppin CUNT, as McFail calls her.
This man did nothing for the VETS since he has been in office. He got a failing grade from them while Obama got a B.
LIE-BERMAN is a turncoat TROLL that should be kicked out of office. He is a LIAR and a war monger just like the Bush/Cheney CLAN!!
If you guys think you have it bad now, vote for this LIZZARD face man and you will know what it is to live like an Iraqi. McFail claims he knows how to win wars.. Can he tell us which war he has won and while he is at it, he claimed to be able to capture Bin Laden. Do tell us McINSANE where the fuck Bin laden is..
All I know is that OBAMA has been saying we need more troops and allied Troops in Afghanistan, while this clown keeps talking about a surge and whining about Obama eating Arugula and working out..
It would be nice to have a HEALTHY, INTELLIGENT, PROGRESSIVE and IN SOUND MIND PRESIDENT THAT USES REASON AND JUDGMENT before putting our TAX dollars and our TROOPS in DANGER!
OBAMA ALL THEY WAY - ANY TIME ANY DAY!
Re: SlickWilley –
It always makes me laugh when I read homophobic BULLSHIT like this one this site. It's not like you can't go to another site for your celeb fix…
OF COURSE NOT!!!!
Please please please americans - vote for obama. Don't make another "bush" mistake.
Re: Boywonder – If you think Obama will lose because of his color then you are truly clueless. Trust me, that man sure has baggage. That's what we've been telling a whole year but it's not like you ever listened.
It's true some people might dislike Obama because he's black but it's also true many people vote him just because he's black. Even Kerry said he's supporting Obama because he's black. And why do you think 90% of the AA's cast their votes for him? Race card has worked well for Obama, that's why he's using it so often. Too bad he use it too much against the Clintons and it's not working anymore.
Lieberman may as well, he's living on borrowed time. How much longer do you think Connecticut is going to stand for his shenanigans, campaigning AGAINST the Dems?
Re: Princess Poop-alina – Agreed, we don't want another stubborn, inexperienced cokehead who's constantly lying because he can't admit he's wrong. That's why people are voting for McCain. America needs a LEADER now, not a puppet.
to Boywonder,
Its not that a few hicks don't want a n***r as president its more the silent majority aren't in favor of this one….. nice try though…
Obama will not lose because of his race. He will lose because he doesn't have experience. He was a Senator in IL for what, 143 days. Yeah, THAT is experience enough to run this country. The Dems put up shit for canidates. You can't blame McCain winning on the color of Obama. It has to do with who is best for the job. And I'm tired of "McCain is another Bush". BULLSHIT. Read a newspaper, don't get your political info from this site. Perez is extremely biased and will spout lies to further his agenda. It's pathetic really.
From the July Quinipiac polls:
Sen. Joseph Lieberman gets a 45 - 43 percent approval, down from 52 - 35 percent March 27 and his lowest score ever.
"Sen. Lieberman's approval rating has dropped below 50 percent for the first time in 14 years of polling, with nearly two-thirds of Democrats giving him low marks, probably because he is campaigning for Sen. John McCain," Dr. Schwartz said.
(Hey boywonder, if you only sarcastically love America, please be my guest and get the fuck out!)
Team McCain!
Older than dirt…
What has that got to do with leading the country or having the wisdom to do it?
Sounds like an ENDORSEMENT, not a detriment. The man has been serving this country for DECADES and knows HOW.
OBAMA 08 BIATCHES !!! LET THE HEALING BEGIN.
Of course Obama will be the next prez,who are people going to vote for ,Mccain,thats a joke,why would anyone vote for a republcian who are mainly white trash fascists and fundamentalist geeks,so come on its Obama all the way ,if you want good change. Mccain will be just more of the same failures and bigotries.time for a change.
Lieberman is a total fucking jerk. Al Gore lost it BIG TIME when he picked this asshole for his running mate. His voice. And his wife! First Lady Hadassah Lieberman?? I don;t thi
I try to ignore what you have to say when it comes to politics, but it is getting out of hand. Think what you want, but things aren't one-sided as you think. Not to be rude but try to stick with what you are good at….Gossip
older than dirt rofl
If anyone is in Denver this weekend for the DNC they should come out to the screening of SKID ROW at the Harkins Theatre. It's free and there will be a Q & A after the screening with PRAS MICHEL. August 24th at 7:00pm
Perez, why aren't you posting about the new reports that McCain is now leading Obama in new polls? Are you ashamed? And you talk about Fox News never being fair and balanced. If you are going to post about this election then you need to respect your democrat AND republican readers!
Joe Lieberman, what a class act. That guy can think for himself, which is refreshing.
You might not be cheering for Obama if you knew about his tax increase plan. yikes. Ane, he has been so flip floppy, on alot of issues. I was going to vote for him, but now that I have looked into it, I'm not.
well yea it would make sense that Lieberman isn't going to "attack" the Democratic candidate considering he is a Democrat. He was Al Gore's running mate back in '00. Remind me why he's speaking at the Republican convention?
Re: MRS.RICKY MARTIN LOVER – well said!
My mistake, apparently he's Independent. Still, why is he choosing sides?
McCain might be older than dirt, but dirt could run this country better than Obama.
And I like how you call McCain's spokesperson a spokeswhore, but I'm sure you call Obama's a spokesfairy or a spokesgoddess or some other crap.
Re: Feo – It is so refreshing to see that people are actually checking out the candidates before making a decision. Kudos to you!
Re: sweetpiece –
Oh ya, that sounded real intelligent.
Screw Obama! Why don't we have the Ricky lover as the next prez?
Lieberman will be at the Republican convention for the simple reason that he agrees with old McCain to keep the troops in Iraq for 100 years. This should protect Israel, and we all know that Lieberman would rather stand for the interests of Israel rather than the best interests of America. Shame on you Lie-berman !
I was Pro Obama up until a couple weeks ago, and am proud to be a democrat, however if the election were today I would be voting for John McCain, it's quite a wake-call when you really start looking at the facts…and sadly Obama is NOT what we all thought…
McCain = Death on a Stick. Ick.
white americans voting for Mccain are the same people who voted for Bush twice. I beg you to ask yourself two things: what good did going to Iraq do and what did it cost us for that good.
These old politicians are no good. Look at Congress and the Senate. These people, including McLame, Liebermann, Biden are relics. We need new blood. New thinking. Otherwise, we keep losing our place in the world. Their gonna laugh if we put Grandpa in office.
perez - you look hot since you lot weight! Stop doggin McCain - the dude was shot down while in combat flying a airplane for the US - he spent 5 yrs in a vietnamese prison camp - dude can be president if he wants. NOBAMA
Just by looking at this man face, u can tell how mean he is… he only talks about oil, seems like thats whats really important to him, hes just like G.W.B… Lets move on, NEXT!
Did he like chew tobacco for 70 years or something? wtf is that lump on his cheek?? boo canada!!!
I don't like Obama or McCain but think Obama's too inexperienced and a tad insincere. But Lieberman??? Hey, I'm Jewish but would never vote for any ticket he's attached to. Yuccccchhhh.
Joe is a Stand Up Guy! He's a good guy!
Barry is an empty suit, really (what has he ever ever ever done???! NOTHING….. He will raise our taxes beyond belief! I'm a Democrat, and I'm voting for McCain after Saddlebrook! There's no way I'm voting for Barry! This Country is damned with him! At least McCain can lead us, Barry will damn us!
Barry Barry Barry, an empty suit! Enough said!
For VP — a big NO to that Huckabee fella. That guy really loves himself too much, maybe even a little more than Joe Biden loves himself… if that's possible. Go for Mitt Romney.
Joe Lieberman should be kicked out of the Jewish faith for his endorsement of a Republican blowhard like McCain. The Republican party is all about Jesus and the imposition of Christianity upon the populace. Here's a hint, Joe: According to most of the evangelical Christians that make up the white trash, Bible-belt, Red State, redneck, racist Republican party, you as a Jew are damned to eternal hellfire for not accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior. Are these really the morons you want to align yourself with? Talk about selling your soul to the Devil.
Joe Lieberman is a modern day Benedict Arnold scumbag. He is the only reason I thank god that Al Gore didn't win
