It's My Parties

If Joe Lieberman can be a member of two political parties at the same time, so can BranfordBoy:

So there you have it! If anyone gives me grief about how I can register as a Dem or a Republican but not both, I'll just refer them to the Secretary of State, who will champion my constitutional right to associate with a political party. And the more the merrier say I.


There is a serious issue here, which Lieberman's campaign is trying to distract from - and that is that Joe Lieberman has himself chosen to leave the Democratic Party. I mean, what else does he have to do to prove this? He lost the party's primary. He created a new party. He lost the support of every significant Connecticut Democratic leader. He has adopted Cheneyist rhetoric and hired a Democrat-slaying pollster who has never had a Democratic client and is currently working for Republican candidates in Connecticut. He is no longer listed as a Democrat by the DSCC.

I mean, he could call himself Canadian too. That wouldn't make it true.

No matter what his campaign or the ballot or his official registration says, he is no longer a Democrat. Period.

And if two parties aren't enough for Joe, I can think of a few more he can join.

Ugh, I dont want him calling himself Canadian..we have enough neo-cons and so-cons up here in government as it is.. We dont need any more.
 
Sorry, Scott, didn't mean to pawn him off on you. He'd fit in quite well with Harper's goverment, though.

Maybe he can start the Bloc Joebecois? ;)
 
He's not an Independent, either, no matter what the DSCC website says. He's the one and only member of the "Connecticut for Lieberman" party, and I shot an email to the DSCC asking them to correct their listing.
 
Hey, energyanalyst, does the "energy" part of your handle stand for "oil," by any chance?

Just asking.
