Are you freaking kidding me? I'm surprised about this, but maybe that's just because of the misconceptions attached to Joe Lieberman. Maybe this is a wake up call our stereotypes associated with candidates (that is, how they present themselves to the public) should be re-examined and (possibly) forgotten at the door.
What was I thinking... an independent democrat who was the vice presidential candidate in 2000 (at Al Gore's side) not only criticizing but outwardly attacking Barrack Obama after he said he wasn't going to. Talk about two-faced, but keep your anti-semitic jokes at home on this one. Everybody knows that's not cool. Moving on.
I don't understand why he wouldn't support Obama; why did he even go to this convention? What could he possibly stand to gain? Is it all political intent; that is, does he just pander to whomever is around to get more power over them? Is he a blood sucking lawyer who doesn't actually have a stance on a political party line? Is he just waiting for the "war in heaven" (that's what I've come to refer to presidential elections because people in this country treat our president as though he's god... or, at least, ordained by god) to choose a side?
Even though I'm not a particularly religious person, I get the bitter iron taste of a betraying Judas on the issue. That means he risks losing snap points with democratic voters... this could reflect badly later on (but people often forget about these things that were said years down the road).
Joe Lieberman leans to the liberal side, and that could be the only reason why he would do something like this. He wants to even things out by winning the hearts of some republican party members (as well as voters).
Actually, now that I think about it, Sen. Lieberman has a history of being in bed with republicans because of the infamous presidential kiss during the State of the Union Address?

Joe Lieberman is dangerously close to coming off as an opportunist who only hopes to advance his own political career with people who are willing to play dirty (and downright lie about the issues) to get what they want.
And that is why it's poopy.
Poopy on you, Sen. Lieberman.
