McCain and Lieberman on the same ticket is not going to happen; you heard it here first. He will pick a more conservative VP. All he's doing with Lieberman is posturing in an attempt to cement his maverick image. He is throwing out straw on the stable floor and the press is licking it up off the floor. In the end, Lieberman will be a man less respected by both parties than Scott McClellan for ratting out George W.
Lieberman is a Clown
Why would the Republicans want Lieberman to speak at the convention except as a circus act. It's kind of like having Bill Murray play in a Pro-Am golf tournament, he's funny but he's always out of bounds. Like Murray in golf, Lieberman in a Republican Convention is amusing because he's so out of place. He's only there to entertain the people watching who are just hoping his ball doesn't hit them. Lieberman might hit some long balls at the convention but they'll probably hit a bunch of the right wingers right in the kisser.
A Republican Stooge
Lieberman will be welcomed in by the Republican sharks, he'll get to speak at their convention, he'll be the toast of Minneapolis-St. Paul, he'll have the presidential suite for a couple of days and then Joe Lieberman will leave that convention having served his purpose for the Republicans. He'll leave there as a monumental Democratic disgrace. Everyone will snicker behind his back and when the convention hall doors close a raucous riot of hilarity will ensue.
A Maverick without a Herd
Joe Lieberman has no options left politically. He can't return to the Democrats and he will have served his purpose for the Republicans after September 4 th . He will be a man without a party. He will be forever a Benedict Arnold of the Democratic party. Oh, he could change parties but why would the Republicans want him? He's tarnished and he's stained and he's only useful if he is a Democrat.
Disposable and Cheap
McCain won't choose Lieberman because for all of his self-proclaimed, maverick status he can't afford to pee in his own pool. His sharks are swimming in there and they have teeth and they have money. Lieberman isn't going to bring in any Democratic money and he isn't going to bring in any Republican money so what good is he to McCain?
McCain is Old, He Does Not Need an Old, Liberal Running Mate
Lieberman is Jewish so in terms of the race card he isn't any more favorable on the ticket with racists than Obama is. People with a Swastika mentality aren't going to vote for a Jewish candidate any quicker than a Black candidate. So what good is Lieberman to McCain?
Lieberman looks nearly as old as McCain so he doesn't bring youth to the ticket. He isn't athletic so he doesn't bring vitality to the ticket. So what good is he to McCain?
Blue State Turns Red in the Face
Lieberman is from Connecticut so he doesn't bring a big state with him and he's turning off his constituency anyway. No newscaster ever said, "Connecticut-Connecticut-Connecticut" when talking about which states would decide presidential elections. So what good is Lieberman to McCain?
A Mule Wants to Run with the Elephants
But it's all entertainment, Lieberman isn't being taken seriously, turncoats never are, they've broken trust. Turncoats have separated from their herd to follow another herd, they're unpredictable, unreliable. Nobody knows what they believe about themselves and they don't trust their loyalty.
Mules are not Mustangs
McCain won't choose Lieberman any more than Al Gore chose John McCain in 2004. Remember that hot public rumor in the last election? McCain would no more join a Democratic ticket than he would invite a Democrat to join his ticket. John McCain isn't stupid, he may want to portray himself as a maverick but the old mustang still knows which herd he belongs to even if Joe Lieberman doesn't.
I leave you with these song lyrics by Squeeze Theeze Pleeze called Hi, Hello (my name is Joe)
Hello, Hello
my name is joe
I live next door
if you need something just ask Hello, Hello
my name is joe
I live next door
Im your neighbour
ahhhhh!!
and if you want me back again
just say
cause if you want me back again
just say
cause if you want me back again
I don't know who in politics is going to want Joe Lieberman back again. Maybe he should take up golf and buy some funny hats.
How funny but true! My wife is Jewish and I tease her all the the time about Joe. He's quite the pathetic man as he hangs on the coattails of McCain along with Lindsey Graham. Do you think McCain can get along without Joe to correct his foreign policy slips? Good piece.
Hi James, I'm not sure if McCain can get along without help in lots of areas. He's strong on defense, but outside that I don't see much substance. Thanks for the comment.
