Joe Lieberman to speak at GOP convention.

How can the Democratic party allow Lieberman to remain a member after this?

Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic Party's vice presidential candidate in 2000 and now an independent who is one of John McCain's strongest supporters, will speak at the Republican National Convention, an official said.

Lieberman will deliver a speech when Republicans gather in St. Paul, Minn., to nominate McCain for president, a party official told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The official requested anonymity because a formal announcement had yet to be made.

Asked during a visit to Georgia whether he would be speaking at the convention, Lieberman smiled and said: "it's quite possible, but I'll let them announce it."

He is actually going to go on to a Republican platform and call on the people of the United States to vote for his party's Republican rival. I wouldn't even wait until after the election, I would kick the prick out the moment the announcement is officially made.

This is the same Joe Lieberman who begged Obama to help him when he was fighting to hold on to Connecticut in March of 2006. And Obama did help, lending his name to Lieberman's battered reputation.

It's well known that Obama's 2006 endorsement was important. But it's not widely understood just how urgently the Lieberman people begged for Obama's help at a critical moment in Lieberman's career -- and in that light, just how much of a back-stabbing Lieberman's attacks on Obama now represent.

"It was a favor as huge as we could have gotten -- it was like a drowning man getting thrown a life preserver," the Lieberman official continued. "Just when Ned was trying to establish himself as a credible alternative on the war, Barack Obama came in and said, `Hey, I disagree with him on the war, but you should send him back to the Senate.'"

There's simply no end to the contempt that such individuals deserve. Lieberman didn't beg for McCain's help when he was "like a drowning man" as, to do so, would have undermined him in the party that he was pretending still to care about.

Now he is open in his contempt, stating that the party has gone so far to the left that he can no longer support it or it's candidate.

Holding on to a majority in the Senate is no longer a good enough reason to keep this man in the party. That not only looks weak, it is weak. The man has revealed himself to be a treacherous snake. KICK HIM OUT!
