Four days after calling his party affiliation a "closed issue," U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman said Sunday he was "not ruling it out" that he could turn Republican.
He told NBC’s "Meet the Press" he will return to Washington as an "Independent Democrat" – "capital I, capital D."
"I’m not ruling it out," he said, "but I hope I don’t get to that point. And, I must say, and with all respect to the Republicans who supported me in Connecticut, nobody ever said, `We’re doing this because we want you to switch over.’"
Lieberman also left open another controversial door – supporting more U.S. troops in Iraq.
"I think we have to be open to that as a way to succeed to achieve a free and independent Iraq, which would be an extraordinary accomplishment, but it’s got to be tied to a new strategy," he said.
That strategy may be "tied to commitments from the Iraqi government to disarm those militias and to bring more Sunnis into a national unity government."
Speaking of people to ignore, Joe Lieberman is right under Bush and Cheney. He’s not worth fooling with. He’s got a severe "I am so special" complex. Let him go do whatever he wants to do. He’s going to do this with everything. I hope others are as tired of him as I am and that they just leave him to his own devices. He’s what is commonly known as a "jerk."
