Pining For A RINO?

By Big Tent Democrat

From the people who launched Operation Leper (which I think is not wrongheaded BTW), this is pretty funny:

Dear Senator [Lieberman]:

Switch parties. Or at least, be an unhyphenated Independent and caucus with the Senate Republicans. There is no reason to think that you will ever be treated with respect and dignity in the Democratic Caucus again. Even if you seek to make amends for what Senator Reid perceives to be your apostasy, you will always be viewed with suspicion and bitterness by members of the Democratic Caucus.

By contrast, Republicans will welcome you into the fold. . . .

(Emphasis supplied.) Perceived apostasy? Okaaay. Here's the thing, I think Lieberman is, in his heart, a Republican. I do not think he really believes in Democratic principles. I think he is a Democrat by accident of history and where he lived. I actually think he would easily conform himself to the extreme Republican views and will actually not be a RINO. But I always knew Lieberman to be an unprincipled piece of sh*t anyway. Still and all, I would cut a deal with him that he can retain his committee chairmanship as long as he agrees not to block Democratic legislation in any fashion.
