December 18, 2007 (LPAC)--Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman who endorsed John McCain in the Republican Presidential primaries, particularly hoping to help McCain in nearby New Hampshire, informally created what LaRouche has called the "Bull-Noose Party." However, when MSNBC asked Lieberman if he might run for Vice President on a ticket with McCain, Lieberman said, "I don't think so."

Then Lieberman offered the following addition to his "Bull-Noose Party", without being asked: "I was thinking actually, out of speculation, about Michael Bloomberg."

Lieberman seems to owe his continued seat in the Senate to Bloomberg, the billionaire Mayor of New York. In the summer of 2006, just after the initial strategy session for a potential 2008 Bloomberg Presidential race, Bloomberg launched an all-out drive to keep Joe Lieberman in office. Lieberman had lost the Democratic Senate primary, and Bloomberg moved his own top staff into Connecticut to raise the funds and get the vote out for Joe as an "independent." Both men are former Democrats (Bloomberg was also once a Republican), but are now anti-Democratic "Independents."
