No Lieberman vote for McCain
BOSTON -- Joe Lieberman, John McCain's most prominent supporter in Connecticut, still can't vote for his man in tomorrow’s primary.
In 2006, the then-Democratic senator lost his party's primary but prevailed in the general election as an independent. Today, Lieberman styles himself an "independent Democrat," but voter-registration forms have little room for such vagaries: in Connecticut, primaries are closed to members of the opposing party.
"I won’t vote in the Democratic primary because I’m supporting John, but I can't vote in the Republican primary," Lieberman said. "I’m blocked."
So Lieberman will stay home on Tuesday, the first time he could ever remember skipping a vote. "I may have missed by a fluke a local election," Lieberman said Sunday night, while joining McCain to watch the Super Bowl at a Boston hotel.
I'm an Independent too
we're all blocked out from voting
for the party machine.
I'll never cow-tow to the parties ever again.
I'm glad liberman has to stay home, you would think as long as he's been around he would know better, Go Romney
I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR SEN. JOHN MCCAIN!!! I AM A REPUBLICAN AND FOR YEARS HAVE WATCHED JOHN MCCAIN GET MORE AND MORE LIBERAL. HE BECAME THE 'SPOILER" IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTYAFTER HE LOST THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION TO PRES. BUSH. SEN. MCCAIN'S STANCE ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS SO OUTRAGEOUSLY LIBERAL IT MAKES ME SICK. GIVE MCCAIN YOUR TIRED , YOUR POOR, YOUR HUDDLED MASSESS LONGING TO GET HERE THE EASY ILLEGAL WAY , AND DAMN THE ONES WHO STAND ON LINE TO GET HERE THE LEGAL WAY. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN WILL NOT GET MY VOTE , AND I'M NOT ALONE, THERE ARE MILLIONS OUT THERE IN THE REAL AMERICA, WHO FEEL THE SAME WAY!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA, LOOKS LIKE SHE;S REALLY GOING TO NEED IT!!!!
two peas in a pod watching together and I am sure both I am sure happy the Pat's lost.
If the choice is McCain vs. Clinton I would encourage EVERYONE to look at a third party just to make a statement.
The nominees suck.
I am a republican and I will never vote for McCain! Does anyone remember what a jerk he was 4 years ago when President Bush was running for re-election? McCain was on all the networks strutting around trying to act like he had all the answers and slamming President Bush! McCain was disgusting - how he was so divisive and egotistical! He is a short old man with a military attitude. He has no diplomacy; he can't pull people together. He is a hot head. I will not vote for him. I don't know what to do with my vote. I wish someone would step in and run as an independent candidate or I guess I could vote for Hillary. I won't vote for Baraack Hussein Obama either!
