Lieberman is a pro-war democrat.
He is very liberal on social issues and moderately liberal on economic issues.
He just happens to be conservative on issues of military spending.
That doesn't make him a Republican.
Heck, listen to some of his positions as stated by OnTheIssues.org:
Rated 100% by NARAL, indicating a pro-choice voting record. (Dec 2003)
Day 1: Repeal the Bush restrictions on stem cell research. (Jan 2004)
Democrats will expand prosperity, GOP will “squander” it. (Aug 2000)
Sunset the Patriot Act. (Nov 2003)
Rated 25% by the US COC, indicating an anti-business voting record. (Dec 2003)
Voted NO on extending the tax cuts on capital gains and dividends. (Nov 2005)
Rated 100% by the ARA, indicating a pro-senior voting record. (Dec 2003)
Raise minimum wage to $7.00. (Jan 2004)
Rated 100% by APHA, indicating a pro-public health record. (Dec 2003)
Safe havens: Ban guns in schools and churches. (Apr 2000)
I could go on and on.
This guy is a true blue Democrat on everything but military issues.
It's not Lieberman's fault that the Democrat Party moved leftward, Joe's been
Joe Lieberman's Voting Record
With regards to that last statement "Safe havens: Ban guns in schools and churches. (Apr 2000)", I couldn't disagree more.
When thinking about Our Lord and Savior and what he would do in any given situation, I immediately think about what caliber firearm he would take with him to church or to his 7th grade English lesson.
Lieberman is a leftwing lunatic, I can't believe that there are people out there who don't carry fully-automatic rifles with hollow-tip armor-piercing rounds to Sunday School.
The enemies of the Lord are numerous and we must be protected at all times.
Therefore I recommend the Heckler & Koch MP5. Although its firepower is limited to 3-shot bursts, the stopping power of a 9X19 mm Luger round should be enough to take out even the most determined Satanist. The attractive look of the rifle, along with the almost endless variety of attachments and accessories makes this rifle a must for all True Believers.

Reports of Joe's demise appear to have been greatly exaggerated:
Republicans for Lieberman?
Like rwwff said, it looks like Joe took a standing 8-count, rather than a knockout. He's still kickin'.

Actually, there are three candidates that oppose the backing of Israel in this conflict.
one
two
three
The third guy is great as he is asking for the abolition of the cia and the nsa, the impeachment of bush/cheney, the "release" of wolfowitz from the imf, put congress in charge of the federal reserve, cut military spending 15% year over year, and to top it all off -- Create a national program to redesign suburbia to lower the cost of transportation, heating, and construction. Wow, nothing like taking the mafia head on, he'll be shot if he ever makes it.

Re: Joe Lieberman -"attack Iran:
Ya know, why don't we just invade Russia and China while we're at it, because Iraq and Afganistan aren't kicking our @$$ quite well enough. What's his deal? Trying to prove that even though he's a democrat, he can still be a chest beating moron?

Remember, his own party kicked him to the curb in the last election. Make no mistake, this guy is a DINO (not even that, really) in neocon shoes.

Joe lost the democratic primary election, but now Joe is treated as a democrat in good standing by his fellow democrats in the US Senate. He voted for Harry Reid as Senate leader, he is part of the democratic caucus in the Senate and he was placed in charge of a powerful Senate committee by the democrats.

Yep, and I couldn't be happier with the Democrats' performance in Congress thus far. They've done EVERYTHING they've promised us and set out to do once they secured their elected positions. More importantly, the Democrats have not backed down on ANYTHING, and held their ground against the overzealous nature of Bush and his Cabinet, helping lead our nation to a brighter day!
If your sarc meter is in the shop, it's really simple...
republicans=democrats
Every election year, we suspect the game has changed and there are two distinct parties with differing goals and ambitions, with one surely to represent our own wishes, and every election year, we take it on the chin, only to have the infamous blue dress thrown back in our face after the deed has been done.
