Lieberman: ‘I Fear’ That ‘America Will Not Survive’ If Democrats Get 60 Senate Seats
Lieberman: ‘I Fear’ That ‘America Will Not Survive’ If Democrats Get 60 Senate Seats
With the possibility that Democrats might soon gain a filibuster proof majority in the Senate, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) has been openly flirting with thoughts of voting with his conservative colleagues. Last week, ThinkProgress noted that prominent conservatives like Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) said he would welcome Lieberman “with open arms.”
Today, in an interview with right-wing radio host Glenn Beck, Lieberman made clear that he firmly opposes Democrats gaining 60 seats in the Senate, saying that the survival of the country is in doubt if Democrats break the filibuster threshold:
BECK: But do you agree that Senator Hatch said to me that if we don’t at least have the firewall of the filibuster in the Senate that in many ways America will not survive?
LIEBERMAN: Well, I hope it’s not like that, but I fear.
Lieberman also hinted that next session, he would be supportive of conservative efforts to filibuster progressive legislation. Lieberman said that the filibuster is a “key” to stop such “passions of the moment”:
LIEBERMAN: And I think the filibuster is the key. You know, it gets a bad name, but it was really put there, a 60-vote requirement, to, as somebody said to me when I first came to the Senate, stop the passions of a moment among the people of America from sweeping across the Congress, the House, through the Senate, to a like-minded President and having us do things that will change America for a long time. So the filibuster is one of the important protections we have.
Listen here:
Lieberman then left the interview to return to campaigning with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), telling Beck, “I’m real proud of you. I remember you back when.”

Lieberman: ‘I Fear’ That ‘America Will Not Survive’ If Democrats Get 60 Senate Seats»
– - Joe’s become a master ventriloquist. He can now speak seamlessly while his mouth is firmly planted in John McCain’s sphincter.
November 4th, 2008 at 4:46 pmJust remember, this was the azo that promised to be a “Dem” after most CT Democrats caught on to him and said they’d prefer someone else.
What he’s angling for now, I just don’t know….
“Holy Joe” can go eff himself.
Cheers,
November 4th, 2008 at 4:47 pmAmerica will need those 60 seats to undo the things that Bush and his cronies broke and to move the country forward. And Please make joe Lieberman irrelevant.
November 4th, 2008 at 4:48 pmYou are a huge POS lying bast@rd, go directly to hell, don’t collect $200.
November 4th, 2008 at 4:48 pmTypical GOP tantrum. Either we get our way or we will burn the house down. WWWWAAHHHHHHH
November 4th, 2008 at 4:48 pmLieberman is such a sad figure, maybe even sadder than Bush.
Lieberman is like a guy who was on the debate team when they sucked, and he quit and joined the chess club just as the debate team started winning. And no one on the chess club likes him, they just pretend to like him because he makes fun of the debate team with them at the lunch table .
November 4th, 2008 at 4:48 pmHow many Connecticut voters are face-palming right now?
November 4th, 2008 at 4:49 pmI think Lieberman isn’t talking about America, he’s talking about his own sorry career. If the Dems get the majority they want, Joe loses his committee chairmanship, and most likely gets kicked out of the Democratic caucus. This leaves him as a man without a party. Oh, the GOP might scoop him up, but even they aren’t all that thrilled with his position on many domestic issues.
Sorry Joe — you made your own bed.
November 4th, 2008 at 4:50 pmStill, the fact that Joe feels fear is a very good sign.
November 4th, 2008 at 4:51 pmOh, and I remember the filibuster as well… that’s the tool that the minority party has in order to not get run over by the majority party… and let’s see, the REPUBLICANS wanted to do away with it, didn’t they? When they thought that they would have a permanent Republican majority. How’d that work out for them?
November 4th, 2008 at 4:51 pmLieberman: “… and having us do things that will change America for a long time.”
Indeed. Because “staying the course” has worked oh so well these last eight years….
I’m in favour of “change” … in fact, “change … for a long time”. Permanently, if I had my druthers. Like electing blacks. Ones who care about the little people.
Cheers,
November 4th, 2008 at 4:51 pmLets just hope that Lieberman gets what he deserves on WED morning. a unceremonious kick in his nuts out the door of all his chairmanships etc….
November 4th, 2008 at 4:52 pm… must close tags. Sorry. :-(
November 4th, 2008 at 4:52 pmTraitor Joe strikes again.
November 4th, 2008 at 4:55 pmHoly Joe badly needs to belong to the kewl kids club. He doesn’t care who they are or what they stand for – he needs to keep his job.
Just a quick note to you Joe: This change is going to run you right over. You will have the feet of progressives marked up and down your back. Lieberman is exactly what is wrong with this country – but at least he gets along with Glenn Beck.
November 4th, 2008 at 4:57 pmWhat the little man really fears is his own pending insignificance.
November 4th, 2008 at 4:57 pmOh come on Joe! YOU don’t HAVE to vote with or caucus with the Dems you know.
November 4th, 2008 at 4:58 pmStop playing both sides of the net.
SOB = Lieberman.
November 4th, 2008 at 4:59 pmWhere the he!! does he get off making stupid and outrageous comments like that? Is he daring Reid to throw him overboard? Let’s see just where the Senate stands after this is all over and if we can get rid of the basturd, he should be ignominiously dumped.
What does the turd say about the Republican filibusters and how the party of McCain vowed to stymie legislation – to which they have lieved up to their threat.
BECK: But do you agree that Senator Hatch said to me that if we don’t at least have the firewall of the filibuster in the Senate that in many ways America will not survive?
As is common these days, the wingnuts confuse the terms “America” and “Republican Party”, which has become increasingly absurd as the number of Americans who consider themselves to be Republicans shrinks below 25%.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:01 pmThere was a time when I supported the general concept of the minority party having enough power to at least check the power of the majority party. This would encourage bipartisanship, and theoretically the best ideas of both parties would emerge.
I am now just jaded enough to wonder if such bipartisanship can happen. When the Republicans managed to grab all the power in Washington, they changed the rules to suit themselves — and they were “suited” by requiring that legislation couldn’t be brought up in committee by the minority party and other outrageous rules designed to eliminate any power the Democrats had.
In 2006, Americans got fed up with the way the country was going and voted in enough Democrats to both houses of Congress to give them technical majorities.
You would think that losing their Congressional majority might cause the GOP to think their game, right? Wrong. Instead of working with the Dems, they obstructed them every chance they got.
I despair of two parties ever being able to work together as long as one of the parties is the GOP. And if we can’t have bipartisanship, then I would feel more comfortable with the power in the hands of the Democrats. We’ve seen what total government control by the Republicans can do. Now let’s give the other side a chance.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:01 pmMan, every time I giver Lieberman the benefit of the doubt that he’s a reasonable person he proves me wrong.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:01 pmLIEberman’s only fear is that if the Democrats get 60 Senators they will tell him to go “piss up a rope”. That is Navy talk for “pounding sand” which is Navy talk for “Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord Split ya,” which means “BYE BYE, LIEberman.”

Joe, is the filibuster then one of the important protections we (and who is we?) have from the people of America?

November 4th, 2008 at 5:03 pmIs your blog still lonely?
When McNumbNuts loses today, he can go back to the Senate and form a new caucus for himself, Lieberman and Lindsey Graham Crackers . . . the Loser Caucus.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:04 pmIts time to put this turncoat dipstick out of office. I would hope that the Harry and the Democrats show some backbone, wake up, and take away his committee assignments, then find another Jewish democrat to run against him in 2012.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:11 pmHe is a moron.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:12 pmEvery time I hear his voice it makes me cringe!!!
Two more years Lieberman and you’re up for reelection. Maybe you should start kissing your a$$ goodbye now.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:13 pmAmerica won’t survive regardless of who controls Washington. The 30-year rejection of modern liberalism by both Republicans and Democrats is the cause of our demise. As a liberal, I say TOLD YA SO!
November 4th, 2008 at 5:14 pmLieberman, Lindsey Graham and McCain, a circle of jerks.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:14 pmUmm Senator Lieberschmuck — not only will America survive with a Democratic majority in the Senate, it will prosper. And an important part of that equation is seeing your sad-sack ass kicked to the curb and handed over to the soon to be defunct Republican party where you rightfully belong. You pompous jerk.
Just saying . . .
November 4th, 2008 at 5:14 pmLushinterior–buh bye trollie. I doubt we will hear from you after today. And I am sure it was no freudian slip that you said you would collect a welfare check..Go wah wah someplace else now and F*off
November 4th, 2008 at 5:16 pmHarry Reid can rule that the traditional filibuster must take precedence rather than the vote of 60 Senators to end same. In the traditional filibuster the Senator speaking is not allowed to leave the floor of the Senate. Short scenario, wait until McDepends and company have to leave the room to pee and then Reid can call a vote. He doesn’t need the 60 votes but just 60% of the voting members. Don’t tell me it can’t be done, just help me do it!

I despair of two parties ever being able to work together as long as one of the parties is the GOP.
Before the 2006 election I began to see the cracks in the unholy marriage of warmonging neocons, corporate feudalists, and theocrats which is the modern day Republican Party. Katrina was the beginning of the end for them, as the horrified American public watched the hopelessly inept, criminally corrupt product of Republican rule. A disastrous neocon war, a devastated globalist economy, and a growing disgust at the hatefulness of the religious right, combined with rampant corruption have ruined the GOP.
They are finished, and will go the way of their Federalist predecessors. One day, a new conservative party will arise to fill the vacuum, but it will not resemble today’s GOP.

(_!_)
November 4th, 2008 at 5:17 pmAmerica has barely just barely survived the past 8 years of Bush, he has absolutely no right whatsoever to say such a thing….someone needs to filibuster him…Give him cab fare out of DC and soon, and he can take Lindsey Graham with him!

My thought exactly. I think Joe loses his chairmanship whether or not the Democrats get 60. But he knows that he’s screwed, blued and tattooed if they get to the magic number without him.

At least you have a chance with Obama. I’m still waiting for bush’s tax cuts to kick in and usher in the prosperity he promised. ha.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:20 pmLook at that picture. Two old geezers and a greaser.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:21 pmOne of the Most relevent effects of the Senate Filibuster is on Supreme Court Nominees.
With 41 votes, the Republican’s can Block any nominee they choose to oppose.
If Sen. Obama wins today, he Will get to appoint enough new Supreme Court Justices … 2 or maybe 3, …to change the complexion of the Court from center right to Progressive.
This, is think is what is really worrying the Republicans and Sen. Lieberman.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:21 pmwish i’d seen this earlier… but still a good reminder…
VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!
The lines will be long. The wait will be worth it. Today we change direction. Move away from Fraud, Lies, War, Fear, Axis of Evil, double talk, wiretapping, torture and Economic Misery. Today the 21st Century Begins (8 years too late, but better now than, uh NOT now!)
If you begin to think the line is too long, remember this ugly campaign! Try that! 2 years of constant smears and fear mongering from every side!
Remember the last 8 years. THAT was long and filled with charred bodies, ruined lives, endless frustration, occupation of an unarmed nation, suspended civil liberties, division, theft, disrespect for the Law, spitting on the Constitution and then we all went broke.
Just picture the main cast of characters in this psycho drama Bush, Cheney, Condi, Rummy, Ashcroft, FEMA, Rove, Alberto Gonzalez and VOTE!

November 4th, 2008 at 5:25 pmJust a note:
All systems of Government are about only one thing: the distribution of wealth. The difference in methods is quantative not qualititative, meaning the result of the distribution is different but has no absolute social value . The relative merits of one system over another lies only in the individual’s relative share of that wealth vis-a-vis the system chosen. The problem is not with any system but is with that only common factor associated with any form of Government: INDIVIDUAL GREED!
Argue with me. I can be convinced by logic and facts but not denial. Denial: the only resource available to a Rethuglican. It seems that the only time a Rethuglican’s denial is true is when he denies the legal marital status of his parents.

Go away you ignorant pathetic troll. The adults are trying to talk. No one cares what the congenitally stupid like you wants to post.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:27 pmLieberman is also parroting one the newer Republican talking points, about how dangerous it will be if the Democrats have the majority in both Congress and the White House. This morning, some idiot on Fox said that there hasn’t been a majority of one party in both houses of the Congress and the White House since the days of Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society.” Guess he forgot that domination by the Republican party from Jan. of 2003 until Jan. of 2007. And even during 2001-2003, the Republicans had the majority in both the House and the White House, with only a very slim majority of Democrats in the Senate.
I think the Dems should shun Lieberman no matter what following this election, and let him “vote with the other side,” or JOIN it. With friends like him, who needs enemies?
November 4th, 2008 at 5:27 pmLush, we have won the lottery if we get rid of the republicans today….ha.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:28 pmLushInterior Says:
….We Democrats now control EVERYTHING! We now have the power to vote ourselves everything President Obama promised us in the campaign. We now have the power to take everything we want from “the rich” and finally share in the wealth just like it should be…… I am going to party all night long!!!!!!!!!WOW… I can believe some people here who have just won the lottery still find a way to pissandmoan….HARD TO BELIEVE!
Yeah, Lush, I hope you enjoy the party. Ha! Ha! Must be sad being a troll on a day like this, huh? President Obama. Nice ring to it. But I can see how you, Limbaugh, and that puke Hannity might find it hard to feel good right now. But don’t worry, you will only have to put up with Obama for eight years!!!!! Ha! HA!
November 4th, 2008 at 5:29 pmit is amazing to me that Lieberman demonstrates such a lack of loyalty. He is entitled to his opinion and he is entitled to support McCain, but wasn’t this guy once the Democratic Nominee for Vice President not so very long ago? I mean, didn’t he receive the full support of countless other legislators that he has gone completely rogue on. I am not one for blind allegiance, and believe strongly ion the importance of dissenting opinion … it just seems to me he is overly opportunistic to me.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:31 pmlieberman fears that the Republican fascist greed war machine may be put out of our misery come Jan. 2009. Too bad, Lieberman.
Watched the ever-clueless Chris Matthews on MSNBC a few minutes ago, and he was marveling at how anxious many Americans were to have this election. Gee, you think, Chris, after eight years of Republican fascist misrule, that people are ready to turn them out to pasture? After two stolen Presidential Elections and numerous electronically rigged House and Senate GOP “victories,” you are surprised at the anger of the people. Chris Matthews, you are a clueless moron. Virtually brain-dead, like Bush and McCain.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:33 pmLieberman is terrified of his own party?? Oh, wait, he’s now an independent, but really a Democrat, but totally supports McCain & the Republicans. Could he be more pathetic?
November 4th, 2008 at 5:34 pmPlease Joe, speak for yourself, you Joe, certainly don’t speak for this nutmegger.

November 4th, 2008 at 5:35 pmHey Joe, Can you spell economy, environment, or endless war.
I fear that America will not survive if the Democratic Party does not secure control of this nation and return it to sanity.
And the data is on my side.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:37 pmPete, I saw that interview with Joe the Plumber as well today. I thought this part was especially funny:
Rick: You have gone on the air and endorsed John McCain, you are no longer just joe private person, you have thrust yourself into this campaign by holding news conferences talking to reporters and endorsing a candidate. You have to be asked the tough questions my friend. That’s the way it works in this country
Joe: Well, ask good questions then. Why don’t you ask what I’m going to do now?
Joe asked that TWICE — he was practically begging Rick to ask him, so he could tell us all about his (book, political career, record contract…or whatever). What a jerk.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:38 pmJeebus, just flag that stupid troll and then ignore it.
This is our day!
November 4th, 2008 at 5:38 pmLush, what do you think of lieberman?
November 4th, 2008 at 5:40 pmI hope we can make Joe very, very unhappy and scared. If his true income is from bribery, then his stock will go way down if he is removed from his committee and loses all his privileges, and forbid!, demote him the bush league junior senator that he really is. I wonder if the people of his state are ready for the recall?
November 4th, 2008 at 5:40 pmYeah, Joe, and I more than fear that America won’t survive if we don’t get a 60 seat majority. And we have good evidence of that based on the last 8 years of your buddy’s policies and abominations.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:43 pmDoes Joe fear democrats or democracy?????
Let things fall as they may. America will survive.
Hate to be in his shoes once congress is back in session.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:43 pmLIEberman is a pathetic little egotist who’ll do anything he can to advance his own interests… like grabbing the handicapped parking place simply because it is closer to his goal. :pah!:
I will not forgive those senators who supported him simply because of “friendship”. Serving in Congress is a JOB, not an old farts club. The sooner our Congress-critters realize that they serve America, the better they’ll be at the job and the more likely they will be to keep their jobs.
NOTE TO REID: If you want to stay in Congress yourself, you’d better kick the traitor Lieberman off his committees and out of the caucus. We don’t need spies and back-stabbers and obstructionists. We’ve got work to do!

I know it will be hard for most of us after 8 years of Bush-speak, but just try to follow along. And don’t worry: you’ll get the hang of it.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:45 pm“Democrats” are now “they” in Lieberman’s own words.
Does anyone need more reason up there on Capitol Hill to show this turn-coat the door?
November 4th, 2008 at 5:46 pmToo bad Joe and the repubs have played their best hand and Americans have not liked how it turned out. What strikes me about the repubs is that they seem to believe that becasue they or their media mouthpieces say their anti-democrat crap long and loud enough that it becomes true. Sorry, you’ve done that for eight years. Get used to being an after thought.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:49 pmBut it was “crucial” for America to have a filibuster-proof GOP majority in all three forms of representative government back when they controlled Capitol Hill. Hypocrisy…

November 4th, 2008 at 5:51 pmIt would be very difficult for the democrats to top the disaster-prone six years of republicans controlling all three branches.
Reality has a liberal bias.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:52 pmWin the 10 seats and Droopy becomes irrelevant
November 4th, 2008 at 5:54 pmLeiberman is a traitor to the people of Connecticut and America. He was elected a Dem then because he got mad he went Independent but really he’s a closet Rethug. He should not be re-elected he has no concept of loyalty and is only interested in what is best for HIM. What a selfish, lying, trecherous toady. Hope the people of Connecticut wise up and get rid of him!
November 4th, 2008 at 5:54 pmJoe has told us what we can look forward for during the next two years at least. Total Government gridlock because of 40 Republican Senators.
40 Republican Senators, voting in lockstep to shut down the government of the United States of America unless they get their way.
On the other hand, Bush has shown that the Imperial President can rule through Executive Orders, obviating the need for Congress. Also, the Imperial President can usurp the role of a disfunctional Congress and declare martial law, if a shut down of the federal government results in civil unrest.
So, Joe, there will be consequences if the Republican Party tries to rule though filibuster.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:55 pmThey always make an easy act to follow. Even the gop is running on a change mantra……from themselves…
November 4th, 2008 at 5:56 pmDon’t be afraid, Joe.
November 4th, 2008 at 5:56 pmWe’re the ones who are voting against waterboarding, and illegal clandestine prisons, and detention without charges.

November 4th, 2008 at 6:10 pmLieberman should be impeached. He must have some dirt in his background. Somebody should do some due diligence. Anything. Just get that disgrace the hell outta there. (He has no shame. Look at him there behind McCain, his lips moving, that stupid grin, that mouth full of piano-key looking teeth, that phony smile.)
Ralph Nader should run for his seat. A few recent polls indicate Lieberman would lose.

Can’t they recall him?
November 4th, 2008 at 6:24 pmC’mon, Joe Lieberman (I.srael) is concerned that his political career won’t survive. he couldn’t give a rat’s ass about this country.
November 4th, 2008 at 6:38 pmAt what point has LIEberman thrown it all away ? Admittedly, supporting McCain wasn’t going to ingratiate him with the dems.
But the dems look like they’ll get a good majority in the Senate. They would like to approach 60% to stop the threat of fillibuster. So Lieberman had some chance to get some crumbs from the table.
But now he’s predicting the death of American if dems get power. Sounds like he’s willing to throw away any chance at all to stay relevant.
November 4th, 2008 at 6:45 pmIs it just me, or does Lieberman’s voice sound just like the dad on the TV show ALF?

November 4th, 2008 at 7:53 pmI think it’s safe to say Senator Lieberman is no longer Chairman of Homeland Security and Government Affairs. I wonder what people in CT think of the neocon, zealot Lieberman morphed into.
November 4th, 2008 at 8:40 pmAfter the interview, Lieberman and Beck attended a Nazi Party rally.
November 4th, 2008 at 8:42 pmWhat a couple of huge cowardly surrender monkeys Beck and Lieberman are!!!
November 4th, 2008 at 8:54 pmI think Liberman, you are the one who is not going to survive. You and the criminal currently occupying the WH.

Comeon Eugene, lushy obviously has extremly low self-esteem. he/she/it comes here tonight spouting loudy can only mean it wants attention, even negative attention.
A good health care system would have caught this condition and maybe with luck lushy will get some help soon.

Help would be a good thing. I assume massive doses of an anti-psychotic would be involved
November 4th, 2008 at 10:48 pmLieberman is not very bright, he should have been praying the Democrats got to 60 seats. 55 votes is the same as 54 votes and 58 votes is the same as 59 for the purposes of running the Senate. There is a big difference between 50 votes and 49 as well as 59 votes and 60. The Democratic leadership now has no good reason to allow Lieberman to caucus with them or to throw him any bones to keep him happy. Good-bye and Good-riddence Joe Lieberman.
November 5th, 2008 at 12:58 amLieberman won as an independent based on an explicit promise to the voters of Connecticut that he would caucus with the Democratic party for the entirety of this term.
If he switches sides, he’s a liar to his constituency.
Never mind the party. No Congressman or Senator can commit “treason” to their party. Their only responsibility is to the voters of the district or state who sent them there. That’s how the Constitution sets it up. However, this would be the very trust that Lieberman would be betraying should he “switch sides.”
November 5th, 2008 at 1:03 amWait, wasn’t the filibuster a bad thing?
Or is it bad only when the Democrats use it?
November 5th, 2008 at 3:17 amLieberman – What a Traitor!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How long before they can run his sorry a$$ out of Washington?!?!?!?!?!?
November 5th, 2008 at 8:58 amSoon those who stand in the middle and stand to logical and rational dialogue will be lost among the polarized majority. It is so easy to hate “the other.” We are a dying race.
November 9th, 2008 at 11:29 pmAgain more idiocy from the Left, someone even claimed that Lieberman ran as a Democrat then betrayed Connecticut by becoming Independent because he got angry.
No, it’s because the Democratic Party Primaries are not Democratic (as the ousting of Hilary Clinton showed this year) and Lieberman was ousted by internal Democratic Party politics and ran as an Independent in Connecticut and Connecticut proved they wanted Lieberman, not some partisan Democratic Hack.
Get your facts strait you stupid liberals.
