“Independent Democrats” for McCain

by matttbastard

Following on the heels of the shocking (SHOCKING!) news that Holy Joe has been advising an anti-Obama swiftboat 527, the Washington Independent brings us word of more independent Joementum for McCain:

Citizens for McCain is an organization within the McCain campaign for people who put country before political party and support the candidate for President who has a proven record of bipartisanship.

As you know, I caucus with the Democrats as a United States Senator and was the Democrat [sic] Party’s nominee for Vice-President of the United States against President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

But first and foremost, I am an American. I have an obligation to do what I think is best for our nation regardless of political party. My love for this country and strong belief in John McCain’s character, judgment, and willingness to work with leaders of both parties has convinced me to support him for President.

I have worked with John McCain for many years in the U.S. Senate and know from experience that he can unite Democrats, Republicans and Independents like no one else in this country. He did it in the United States Senate and he can do it as President of the United States.

Sheesh, what does it take to get one stripped of one’s committee assignments and kicked out of caucus–ripping up a picture of FDR on Saturday Night Live? (“Fight the real enemy.”) Obama can buttonhole his former mentor all he likes. Expect to see Lieberman doing his best Zell Miller impression at this year’s Republican National Convention.
