Newsflash: HolyJoe might Turn Repug if the Dem Party doesn't support His War.

Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut told the Politico Thursday that he has no immediate plans to switch parties, but suggested Democratic opposition to funding the war in Iraq might change his mind.

Lieberman, a self-styled independent who caucuses with the Democrats, has been among the strongest supporters of the war and President Bush’s plan to send another 21,500 combat troops into Iraq to help quell the violence there.

"I have no desire to change parties," Lieberman said in a telephone interview. "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."

Asked whether that hasn't already happened with Iraq, Lieberman said: "We will see how that plays out in the coming months," specifically how the party approaches the issue of continued funding for the war.



Poor HolyJoe. He doesn't want to do it. The people he supposedly represents don't want his war, Dems don't want his war, we're forcing the poor bastard to fess up and admit he's a Repug. Through and through a repug. WAMWATB.
