We Don’t Need Another RINO in Joe Lieberman

Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut fired a shot across the bow of the Senate’s Democratic majority, warning them he may bolt the party and join the GOP if Congress votes to withhold funding for the war in Iraq.

The move would give Republicans control of the Senate, since Democrats hold the majority by one vote.

Lieberman, who calls himself an “independent Democrat,” has been among the strongest supporters of the war on terror and President Bush’s plan for a troop surge in Iraq.

“I have no desire to change parties,” Lieberman said in an interview published Thursday on politico.com. “If that ever happens, it is because I feel the majority of Democrats have gone in a direction that I don’t feel comfortable with.”

Lieberman cited the upcoming showdown over new funding for the war could be a deciding factor that would lure him to the GOP

Ok, let me say this to you Mr. Lieberman. I’m sure you are a nice enough man but we don’t need another RINO in the Republican Party. The GOP is already over stocked with them as it is.
