Stupid little bitch Joe Lieberman is more popular (.pdf) than ever! “Raleigh, N.C. – Joe Lieberman’s actions on the health care bill antagonized constituents both for and against it, and in the wake of that he finds his approval rating at just 25% with 67% of voters in the state disapproving of him.” Wow, who knew that 67% of Connecticut voters were dirty lying hippie Soviet blogger fags with no respect for honesty, truth, war, etc.? Surely among very actual Serious people, the Centrists and Independents, he must remain popular. He got rid of like nine versions of the public option, which was never popular among any Americans, after all.
yo mama:
Lieberman has hit a low point with Democrats usually reserved for Republican politicians, with 81% of them disapproving of him to just 14% happy with his performance. Republicans give him bad marks by a 48/39 margin and independents do so by a 61/32 spread.
It’s clear that his actions on the Senate health care bill have made a large contribution to his falling popularity. 68% of voters say they disagree with how he handled the issue to just 19% giving him support. Among people who support the health care bill 84% say they disapprove of Lieberman’s actions but even among those opposed to the initiative 52% say they disagree with how Lieberman handled himself.
How cute of you, Connecticut voters, pretending that you won’t obviously re-elect Joe Lieberman in 2012.

Is is 2012 yet, please?
Connecticut should recall his wrinkly old ass.
My favorite takeaway from all this is that Lieberman is less popular with Connecticut dems than Obama is with CT repubs.
[re=490843]wallythepug[/re]: I won’t fully subscribe to this poll until it asks people how they feel about (clicking on tape to play Bill Walton speaking) HORRIBLE DEBILITATING ANAL WARTS.
Joe Lieberman has 776 friends on his Facebook page, but glancing through the posts, I didn’t see any that seem too friendly.
Keep fucking that chicken Joe. See where it’s gotten you? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa
Joe must be actively setting up his post-Senate big pharma lobbying job.
You know, both Cheney and the bloated buffoon Limbo have approval ratings at these levels, so he has a future in the repugnetwork. They’re like the berry bushes in our yard.
“…how Lieberman handled himself.”
Mental image I wanted least to visualize in my life, this is it. If I drink eye bleach, will it get erased?
[re=490843]wallythepug[/re]: I disagree. All of us should try to forget about him.
He’ll be sorry when Aetna calls him home.
Wait, what?
“52% say they disagree with how Lieberman handled himself”
How did they KNOW? Is there a walrus-like video?
So 14% of Democrats are insurance company executives, if I read this right.
PPP?
You’re absolutely right, of course the dip-shit Conneticutians will re-elect him in 2012, my pet gerbil has a longer memory than they do. I’m convinced they actually like the sound of his nasal voice, with each pompous word repeated agonizingly slower than the last, until you want to curse God for giving you ears to hear.
[re=490862]proudgrampa[/re]: Lieberman handled himself = necrophilia
Feel the Joementum!
[re=490853]Terry[/re]: Nah; his wife will get him a job with her lobbying for the health insurance companies. And hey look, she just got a coincidental raise!
[re=490851]Larry McAwful[/re]: hahahah thanks for the tip.
Lieberman less popular than Karl Rove’s breasts…
Who cares what the people of Connecticut think? Joe represents the state of Israel anyway.
[re=490867]BlueStateLibtard[/re]: Hmph. We call ourselves Nutmeggers, thank you very much. And, no, I have no idea why, I don’t know if you can even grow the shit here, we have a very rocky soil.
He hasn’t got an Off-the-docks Jew chance in hell of getting re-elected, honest Injun kemosabe. I don’t think he’ll even try to run, his ego couldn’t take it, and he’ll go work for Aetna and Pfizer, hell he already does.
Lots of pundits say he’s motivated by spite, but isn’t it the small penis that really makes him such a cancer?
[re=490881]germansteel[/re]: He really does, IMO. I know people that vote for what’s best for Israel, and would probably rather a bomb go off here than there. Thanks to those voters (and representatives like Vinegar Joe), that’s less likely to be a fictitious hypothetical.
[re=490881]germansteel[/re]:
Joe represents the insurance companies. He just has a very strong interest in Israel. The people of Connecticut come somewhere about 10th on his list, after his broker.
I am not a cartographer, but I do not think Raleigh, N.C. is in Connecticut. Or vice versa.
Spiteful geezer should have a steel cage match vs. Michael Steele so we can concentrate all of our loathing on both sides on just one dickhead
Leibermann concluded in his press conference, “something, something, something, DARK SIDE. Something, something, something, COM-PLETE.”
The bitch about this? when LIEberman announces he won’t be running for reelection, he’ll once again be labeled a Democrat and the event will be used to further point out that though there are still fewer Dem than Rep retirement announcements, the Dems are in deep doggie doo.
I’d bet a paycheck on that.
[re=490889]Terry[/re]:
It’s a matter of priorities, I agree. But, IMHO, Joe’s first priority is Israel, and the insurance companies – like his constituents – would be sacrificed without a second thought when he had to make a choice between them and Israel. He’s not even very clever or discreet about it.
[re=490889]Terry[/re]: To be fair to Joe, he isn’t just interested in protecting the insurance companies and Israel; he also supports protecting the kids by censoring video games (which of course are only for children), impeaching a president of his own party for getting a blowjob, and killing as many Muslims as possible.
This is why the people are voting for Lizards.
“Lieberman has hit a low point with Democrats usually reserved for Republican politicians, with 81% of them disapproving of him to just 14% happy with his performance.”
And we would have a public option in the healthcare overhaul if these same Democrats had actually voted for the Democratic candidate in the 2006 senate election. Having buyers remorse now? Morons.
Can we get rid of the 9 versions of Joe Lieberman, too?
I wonder how many CT Dems approve of themselves after sending that wrinkled bastard back to the Senate in ’08?
Idiots.
Sorry, ’06. I’m getting so old that it just SEEMS like a year ago.
Kill me now.
Why call Joe “independent” when his real affiliation is “undependable”?
Always two, there are.
[re=490863]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I was calculating that, too. I came up with the same number + 4% drug company lobbyists, not counting his wife.
[re=490882]Katydid[/re]:, Loquaciousmusic, ProfessorJukes, etc.: You people STILL haven’t fixed that “no way to impeach senators” Constitutional thing?! Quit sucking on nutmegs and get to work.
Unfortunately, the electorate has a memory about the same length as that of a beheaded chicken.
[re=491003]snideinplainsight[/re]: Yes, one to poop and the other to wipe.
Guess this means Dan Gerstein will be going door-to-door.
Our attorney general was gearing up to chew Lieberman up and spit him out, but it looks like he’s headed to the senate in 2010. Maybe Chris Murphy, my rep, will run against Lieberman in 2012.
Connecticut voters had a chance, and a responsibility, to vote that loser out when he lost the primary, and they screwed the pooch. So fuck you, Connecticut.
[re=490882]Katydid[/re]: Yea!
[re=490914]Cape Clod[/re]: ohsnap.
[re=491123]sati demise[/re]: oh
snap
brokenkeyboard
[re=491120]Lazy Media[/re]: I agree with you, but I didn’t vote for him and don’t know how a third party candidate won.
Well I guess we Connecticutians will have to take this mockery from our Wonkette friends since we’re always smugly making fun of redstaters. Sorry. :[
Hey, I just realized: the last thing everybody hated that actually went away was disco. Hmmm.
Joe couldn’t be less popular if he strapped a bomb to his dick.
[re=491171]This Cat[/re]: [re=490885]OReillysVibrator[/re]: I guess it would have to be a really small bomb.
Goddamn Nutmeg Pickles!
[re=490880]WarAndG[/re]: Well, they are sort of perky.
HA HA! great pic and sooooo right.
[re=490867]BlueStateLibtard[/re]: Here’s one nasal voice I could listen to all day long.
Maybe all Joe Lie needs is a Eukodol-spiked speedball (or was it eightball) to find himself…
