Crooks and Liars:
Wednesday, Lieberman joined a conference call coordinated by a right-wing House member to bash Barack Obama. Yesterday, he announced the creation of what he calls a “new grassroots organization,” called, “Citizens for McCain.” From the letter the McCain campaign distributed today (no link available):
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 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.
Second, Lieberman calls Citizens for McCain a “new grassroots organization.” It isn’t. In fact, by all appearances, it’s not an organization at all — it’s just a gimmick of the McCain campaign, cooked up to collect money and addresses. Campaigns come up with these gimmicks all the time, but for a sitting senator to announce that he’s the “chair” of a “new grassroots organization,” when there is no actual organization, is pretty ridiculous.
