THE REPUBLICANS RUNNING SCARED ALREADY?

Doesn't "old" Johnny boy know that fear doesn't equal respect? If Regan never spoke to Russia would the cold war still be going on?

Today, I went to the DMV and picked up a new registration card. I've voted Democratic for 30 years. But an overly zealous media has created a situation where no one dares question Obama's experience. Here it is in a nutshell. Obama won Illinois State Senate by a default; questioning registration after registration until he was the last man standing. He also stabbed in the back Alice Palmer, the woman who brought him into the process. He has done the same thing to Hillary Clinton. Hillary spent an inordinate amount of time showing Barack the ropes. Obama was a Senator all of 18 months before he started running for President. FOLKS…even George W. Bush, the worst on record, had more experience than this. Don't you care???

As a 30 year old man, I am extremely concerned about McCain's age. I would never vote for his based on his policies and voting record, but I fear deeply that other Americans will vote for a man who cannot possibly be in touch with the concerns of my generation.

Further, McCain's cheap innuendo about Hamas deserves much more comment from McCain. The Arizona Senator seems to like to bring up the issue and then leave it hanging. It's such a transparent, and unintelligent tactic. What exactly are you worried about, Mr. McCain, if Hamas prefers Obama to other candidate? Maybe the better question is this: what foreign leader, in the whole world, supports your nomination, Mr. McCain? Does a single foreign figure like you and your prunes?

Oh yes, our old friend Joe. It seems like he's no longer content to just turn his back on his party, he now wants to actively campaign against it. Way to go Joe…….and to think, you were within a whisker of becoming our VP in 2000.

Having enemies fear you is detrimental to both parties, and ultimately the world.

I'm so glad I voted for Obama, so we can win the white house!

McCane 08′

That's because McCain knows he to old to become President.

I FEEL LIKE RIFF IN WEST SIDE STORY WHEN HE SAID TO TONY " TONY GET WITH THE GANG" JOHN L. NEEDS TO GET WITH THE GANG.

Who cares Joe?

Longhorn, we care.

Enough that we are glad he won't resort to the same underhandedness that apparently all that experience breeds.

We care.

Sounds like Joe is looking at a possible run at the VP spot on the GOP ticket. I think that he would really be a boost for the ticket, as it would make it look much more moderate than what the Dems are sure to serve up.

Lieberman's comments can't be taken seriously considering the source - himself.

Regan would speak to the USSR because, although they were the "Enemy" they were not a rogue nation. Did Regan speak to Cuba? To North Korea? To Iran? I think not, and if he had done so, his position as Commander-in-Chief with regards to the role of the President in foreign affairs would have been weakened tremendously. Barak Obama will be the end of our status as a global power.

John is correct. Obama is inexperienced and doesn't have the capability or experience or skills to talk to foreign leaders. We will be better off if he runs Chicago. Show me one accomplishment of Obama.

I can't believe that a national TV channel like C N N will be super biased against Clinton. Shame on C N N .

WAKE UP IDIOT!!!

he's basically saying.. "we only bomb our enemies, regardless of the innocent people killed, not talk to them.."

You're one to talk Lieberman. You've been caught on tape several times whispering into McBush's ear when he gets things wrong.

Who's inexperinced now?

Stop trying to get your way into the VP. It ain't gonna work.

Folks. Lets all get behind Obama and support him all the way.

Obama O8!!!!

I for one do care. I do not understand why some of the American people don't understand that Obama is made of lies, no experience, known to be friends or past friends with the wrong people, etc. etc. Can you imagine what will be going on in the White House if he gets in. That DOES include Wright and Sharpton!!!! Wake up America.

What party is this guy this week. SHUT UP!!!!! That does it MR. you and John McCain Nap TIME!!!

It's pathetic that all this old status quo politicians are going negative against OBAMA!!

STAND
STRONG FOR
CHANGE

OR

FALL HARD
FOR THE SAME!!!

Obama is just fake. He is just a good speaker…all talk no action.
I really doubt his patriotism having spent 20 years in a church that hates America and Americans. Why is Michele hidden from the press? Is it to hide her hate against the Americans?

He might have won the IL senate seat by default, but he is the sure front runner, ahead your favorite and "most" experience candidate.

Have you guys stop to think why the voters are rejecting Hillary's "experience" card?

The last time I checked, it is the voters that elect the president and so far in this primary, they are speaking and giving their votes to Obama.

And who cares. Liebermann has not credibility. I guess Hillary will be following Liebermanns lead….straight out of the democratic party.

Oh Lieberman! Lieberman! Lieberman! How much more blood you want on your conscience? After being responsible for deaths of so many innocent Iraqis you are still bloodthirsty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA WILL NEVER EVER WIN., IT IS EITHER CLINTON OR MCCAIN

SO DO NOT THINK THAT WE TENACIOUS CLINTON SUPPORTERS WILL GO GENTLY INTO THE NIGHT.

WE ARE OVER HALF OF AMERICAN THAT WANT CLINTON AS OUR PRESIDENT WHEN YOU COUNT FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN AND AGAIN THEY TRY TO DICTATE TO THE PUBLIC WHO WILL OR SHALL BE THE PRESIDENT…. NOT THIS TIME, NOT THIS TIME, NOT THIS TIME…

CLINTON OR MCCAIN FAR FAR BETTER THAN OBAMA, I DO NOT CARE HOW MANY SUPER DELEGATES VOTE FOR HIM IT IS THE AMERICAN PUBLIC THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE VOTING NOT THE DNC, AND COWARD DEAN OR SORRY I MEAN HOWARD DEAN AND NANCY WHO…. DO YOU JOB IN THE HOUSE AND STAY OUT OF THE PUBLICS TIME TO MAKE A DECISION…

WE ARE MAD AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE…

H.R. CLINTON 2009 PRESIDENT, AND SO SAY ALL OF CLINTON SUPPORTERS…

why is Libermann criticizing Obama? is he a Republican?
well we see him standing beside McCain almost everywhere. but is he the vice presidential candidate of McCain? we know he was a democrat and Vicepresidential candidate for Al Gore what does he want now?

off course mking sure that Israil and all its interest is preserved and flourish under McCain. isnt it?

Hey Obama can you send lieberman to GITMO after you become the President and while your at it can you put bush and dick in there with him.

BARACK THE VOTE

I guess you'll interview anyone who makes the news, hey? If my memory serves me, Joe Lieberman was once a Democrat. He now claims to be an "Independent". Is that the same as a "fence sitter", swinging from one Party to the other, depending on how the wind blows? Does being an Independent mean that one is an "independent" thinker? If that's the case, it certainly doesn't apply to Joe Lieberman; he's far from being an independent thinker. He's more an opportunist than anything. He couldn't get elected on the Democratic ticket, so he jumped to being an "Independent". Who knows? Perhaps his overtures to John McCain will get him elected on the Republican ticket! Since I don't really know much about politics, I may be way out in left (or right) field. Nonetheless, the wolf dressed as Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother, but he was still the wolf (not you, Blitzer!), and he, like Joe Lieberman, got a meal out of it!

The fear card doesn't work anymore. Didn't you get the notice? We are not going to be lemmings for nonsense. It is pathetic now that we are supposed to even fear our best candidate. Get a grip Republicans..and Hillary.

Your position Mr Liberman, as well as Mr McCains and the rest of the Republican Party is exactly why this country is in trouble. You can not reslove issues unless you are willing to sit down with an open mind to discuss all those things that keep you apart. This is a plain and simple fact that you can not deny although you may try. Has anyone ever heard of open dialogue?

This is for LonghornMama: You can keep the experienc thing going all you want. However there has not been one single candidate that had the knowledge to deal with everything that comes up in the White House. What they do is they surround themselves with experts. Believe it or not your life experiences more than qualify any one for jobs that they would not consider. It is not so much the experience as it is the ability to think on your feet, ask the right questions, gather all the information and the ability to make a decision that keeps Americas best interest in mind. Also someone that is not trigger happy and jumps into a war that is not warrented. I wish the rest of the world leaders had the same vision as Obama, sure would be a happier place to live.

Dear Longhorn Mama,

Nope, don't care. Your post is full of half truths and false information.

OBAMA 08′, Excellent point about Reagan's negotiations with Russia, helping end the cold war.

You call it lack of experience…I think it means less time to be corrupted by Washington politics

Joe Lieberman is trying to position himself to be VP so he can whisper in McCain's ear when he makes a mistake. Does McCain need a VP that speaks for him? The Republican party may need to check for dementia.

obama in hillary out ,obama will however not be president no experience at all,would sell this country out in a heartbeat,hillary will fight to end to no avail.obama lost alot of white vote,the whole democrat system is in shambles,whoever wins state should get all delegates period. needs major overhaul.mcain will be our next president ,he is a liberal in a republican suit.god help america the enemy will wipe us out. .be afraid america be very afraid.

I am concerned at how can Barak Obama speak of change and the DNC support him knowing that he had an extra-marital affair. The person he had an affair with was a choir director and supposedly murdered when he was starting his bid for the president. She was murdered because she was about to go public with that information. has this issue been addressed because i am sure the RNC will use it in the general election. I am a concerned voter.

I have to question this review of experience. When did John McCain negotiate anything let alone a treaty? When did John McCain run anything larger than his office let alone a company or state? When did John McCain ever offer a diplomatic solution to a sticky situation? When did John McCain ever work out a billion dollar budget? When did John McCain find a solution to a life threatening problem that was way over his head?

Yes, you can substitute Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton's name as well. Oh or substitute John Kennedy's name as well. No one is experienced enough at being President.

Well, LonghornMama, perhaps experience isn't everything. You rightly bring up Bush, but what about Bush Sr.? He was chock full of experience and he couldn't hold the office for more than one term, particularly after he botched our exit from Iraq the first time around. Experience is nice, but ideas are, too. Besides, Obama, if he becomes the president, isn't going to be sitting in Washington alone making decisions. He'll have chosen a strong cabinet that will add to the efficacy of his presidency. Can you name one president who had experience as president before taking office? It's an impossibly difficult job, and experience is not something we can quantify over time as an indicator of performance. Nixon? Bush 1? Buchanan?

The experience issue is a smokescreen. Wake up.

Lieberman ,a man without a country ,essentially running to any "political home" that would have him. I hope he likes his very distinguished job as Mcforgetful's memory jar-er. He needn't forget his own Ginko Biloba or they'll be in real trouble. I'm curious how either can tolerate the other's odd voice.. Strange but not so strange company.

Joe, Last time we trusted the experienced one look what happened to us. Maybe Joe going for VP? Hmmmmmm

Raz

Joe Lieberman is right on when it comes to Obama. I anxious to see how CNN spins for Obama against the Republicans.

CNN has pushed this inexperienced candidate (Obama) to the point that he may well wind up president. The only time he has ever been grilled about issues was by Charlie Gibson. Y'all have let him get by too easy and this country will pay if he's elected.

Ok, with all due respect, cant Lieberman, Clinton, McCain, hear what the AMerican people are saying???
we are exhausted of the same old same old politics, we want not just change, we want words into actions.
Yes we are all different, but we all eat, we need gas, we have families, and kids , we need education, work, etc.. we dont want war, we want our soldiers to be home safe,
cant they get that???

my lord………….i dont get why people in power are so afraid of loosing when it is inevitable, and they already had their chances.
look at it this way, Hillary and Mccain they both can write tons of books after this election, and really they both ought to do community service in New Orleans and other areas that are emporverished.

they are both very rich adn very elitists, time to work for the people…….differently thatn sitting in congress in a suit, and doing lots of blah blah blah,
and making money out of our missery and our lives…………

I keep thinking Mccain and Hillary one and the same..

NO MORE CLINTONS AND GUTTER POLITICS. OBAMA 08′

What did experience get us with George W? Look at all the experience of Cheney and Rumsfeld. Results=a big zero. Arguably our best President had all of 2 years in Congress. His name was Abe Lincoln!

I'm really confused on how you can call that negative???????

TWO OLD FARTS, WE AMERICANS HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.
LETS STAND STRONG AND OPEN AND NOT BE RULE BY FEAR OF WHAT OTHERS "MAY" THINK!

OBAMA 08

Who cares what Trader Joe thinks?

It tells you something when Hillary and her McCain gang are attacking Obama. We finally have a candidate that will represent us and not the lobbyists or their 100 million dollar fat pocket bank accounts. It may get even dirtier but we will stand by Obama and are ready.

Liberman = Mccain 's knockoff version of Cheney

He said it right, experience counts and O lacks that. He keeps saying he was a community organizer, well, what does that mean? I'm from Chicago and don't think anyone who walks the streets of the south side organizing people, helping them off of drugs, etc. is going to help us in Iran, Afghanistan or anywhere else. It's hard enough to sleep at night without wondering if your pres. knows what he's doing or is it that O is going to surround himself with knowing people. What a guy! Save yourself and vote McCain.

Hillary / Lieberman in 08

I would love to see her become a independent and wipe the floor with Barry (Sorry i don't call him by his Muslim name) Wright jr.

want to see what change looks like in the eyes of Obama, just look to Zimbabwie, and South africa. They have afro centric views too. Now whites are murdered 4 times higher than any other race. Whites striped of their land at the end of a gun.

LonghornMama,

There are many other criteria you can use to evaluate candidates besides experience. John Mccain has a lot of experience but running on all the same policies of George Bush that doomed this country the last 8 years.

Here are some qualities that Obama has:

Integrity
charisma
Judgement
Intellect
work ethic
ability to bring people from oppositie spectrums together
genuineness
ability to lead

the last quality is the most important. I hope you will use some of the above qualities I use to rate candidates.

thanks, Obama 2008! Yes we can!

Thomas:

Why don't you learn to spell McCain before you "win" the white house? I guess Hillary isn't the only one winning the dumb vote.

It looks like the evil lord dick chenny was able to use the old Jedi mind trick to pull the simple minded lieberman over to the dark side of the force…

BARACK THE VOTE

hey joe go back home back stabber

Geriatric ,,,,get a life. We are shaking in our boots over this far left candidate with no experience.

McCain will leave him in the dust by the end of summer.

By the time We Clinton Democrats and the Moderate Republicans get down with him, he will be lucky to hold on to his Senate Seat.
Now that we know who he is and what he represents, believe me
all us Whiteys are going after that Senate Seat if he runs for re-election.

A muslin as a united states president? he dont show any patriot
in his face.

This is why we are enemies of the whole world.
Those old washington pot heads whose ideas are so destructive .

If we want to implement their old ideas about the world, then we are headed for more hatred.

It is time for America to start talking to our enemies and let them know where we stand.
This is what Obama meant, when he said he will talk to our enemies and let the know where we stand with them.
He has made it clear that he will not hesitate , I reapeat hesitate to protect the security of the American people.
We can see a clear minded commander-in-chief who will not only protect the constitution of the United States Of America, but also it's citizens in any aspects of terror or byond.

Any time the republicans take office, we are deem for war.

REPUBLICANS ARE WAR MONGERS, NO DOUBTH .
WE CAN ALREADY SEE THAT IMAGE FROM JOHN MCCAIN-BUSH POLICY.

LonghornMama……Amazing isn't it?
Your words:-
Obama was a Senator all of 18 months before he started running for President. FOLKS….

———————————————————————————————–

……and he was able to be the front runner in the Dem nomination, and would very likely be the next President of the USA. Hats off Sen Obama!
This was a hard fought race.

Scott - did Reagan speak to Iran? Well, yes, there was this whole deal called the Iran-Contra affair.

I want talk, not war.

Obama '08

Yeah and look where all that Bush experience especially with lieing has taken this country.

This shouldn't be about race or gender, this should be about issues and what person has the best ideas to make American lives better! Clinton actually addresses the issues with proposing solutions, while Obama is just complaining about all that is wrong with it. Just listen to the solutions, whose ideas are tangible and whose ideas can change people's lives. It isn't about believing in something or having hope that things will change- it is the actual ideas and ways in which people's lives will change! It is about the ideas and the experience needed to make these ideas and these campaign promises a reality, and it is sad to see that the truly better candidate is being pushed aside because someone can deliver an empty speech. When I graduate from college, no speech can make it so that I don't have endless debt, no speech that Obama makes will make it so that I will receive equal pay for equal work- these are real issues that face real people and something that no speech will solve.

Last I checked Reagan not only spoke with Iran but gave them weapons as well. Iran Contra anyone? Wow memories are short these days.

Why is Obama saying he's black? Read Charge #14….

http://savagepolitics.com/?page_id=326

Senator Obama’s father is from Kenya (Black African) and he (Obama) was born in America. How can you say he is not African American?

REBUTTAL – Senator Obama’s racial background consists of the following: 50% white (mother, both sides), 43.25% Arabic (father, both sides), and 6.25% African Negro (father, one side, 1 generation removed). 12.5% is the legal threshold one must prove to claim racial status under the law. In addition, Senator Obama cannot make a sociological claim as an African American either. He was not raised as an African American, was not raised by African Americans, and was not raised in an African American neighborhood.

He is 50% white, 43.5% Arabic and 6.25% African black. Is this why he wants to meet with the Arabic leaders?

Why is no one doing this research and telling people?

Since when talking about the reality is scaring people? The truth is we have very serious enemies that we must face. Which part of it is scare tactics? The fact that Al-Qaida is determine to kill us or the fact that Iran is financing terrorism and trying to destroy Israel and US interest around the world? Or maybe Hezbollah and Hamas don’t exist, and if they do they just love us.
He is absolutely correct, Hamas likes Obama and they hate McCain and they happen to be an enemy of the United State of America!!
The bigger issue is what they see in Obama that they like him.

Spoken like a true BACK STABBER !

Make yourself clear first.. are you a Democrat or a Republican.

IDIOT

I'm not a McCain or Lieberman fan, but I think Obama is a self-serving hypocrite. His ego is huge, and he thinks he can use his charms to lure Osama from the caves. Woe is America if we elect Obama.
Nobama 08

Obama will be nominated democrat there is no doubt and I really think that in front of McCain of these comments will make him lose the elections. I always think that Clinton is the ideal candidate to beat McCain. Obama will lose in front of McCain in November it's an evidence.

Dear Mr. Lieberman I am sure you do not know what you are talking about Mr. Obama said he has experience on diplomat since he was six years old.

__An American in Canada May 9th, 2008 6:46 pm ET
OBAMA WILL NEVER EVER WIN., IT IS EITHER CLINTON OR MCCAIN__

My friend you should be ashame to talk like that, you're not an American in Canada, if you truly were an American and if you had any care of America, you wouldn't be saying stupidities like that, so you don't have to talk here, mind your own business…

Joe Lieberman has nothing to say about Obama, he's not part of this process, Bush and the Washington experience got us into a dumb war, a war that cost us thousands of lives and billions of dollars.

Obama is right and almost all the generals recognize that if we engage direct talks with countries like Iran, we're in strong position to force them to act in a civil manner, this is a truth, so Mr Joe Lieberman just chill out !!!

Theres this thing called diplomacy…..I would hope our next president has some of that…its really helpful in avoiding war

Clinton Democrats for Mc Cain

I care LonghornMama.

The way I see it, being a network administrator, is that you don't put someone without experience into the role of a network admin. Sure, new people are energetic and it's nice to see a new face, but unless you care to risk the ability of users to have a fully functional network, you hire someone with experience, someone that knows what to do and just as importantly, what not to do. The same is true of the "network" of the United States. We've needed someone that knew what to do and what not to do for almost 8 years now.

The other big one for me is the war in Iraq. Had I been in Hillary Clinton's shoes, the Senator of the great state of NY after the terrible events of 9/11, I also, even being against war the overwhelming majority of the time, would've voted for the war. My views on the war, not being as extreme as Obama's and being more like Hillary's, match up more with McCain than Obamas.

Therefore, unfortunately, this is why if Obama gets the Democratic nomination, even though I've voted Democrat all my life, I'll choose to vote for McCain.

So the little sychophant takes his head out of McCains butt long enough to speak. What a small little man he is. The fear remark is very telling don't you think? Is it any wonder Americans are considered bullies? Is it surprising that we are hated? Send your kids to Iraq McCain. Send your kids Lieberman (If you have any). Send your grandkids too. What small minded trigger happy bastards you are.
You have destroyed our reputation in the international community, squandered our hard earned tax dollars for nothing, obliterated our economy, sold our jobs to the lowest bidders, ruined the environment, with your denials about the danger of global warming, taken food and health care from the poor by reducing benefits in order to reward corporate treason. (I must include the name Clinton in this list of selfish politicians. They (The Clintons) started killing our jobs with NAFTA and got themselves rich in the process.)
Shame on you all. And shame on every one who ever voted for GWB your hero. The party of the rich and infamous. We don't need any more self serving idiots representing our country. Go away!

American in Canada, you won't be voting in the election will you?? Thanks for you input. Wait til you get a look at the NAFTA changes. You may have to follow your job back to this country, so your statements would be treason.

Joe, you are a traitor. We don't like you or want you in our party!

An American in Canada

Wow. Getting desperate are we?

Calm down!!

Senator,

Do us a favor and officially change your party affilliation to Republican to clear up the confusion for the ten people in this country who still think that you are either a Democrat or an independent.

How much do Connecticut voters want THAT vote back?

As a CT resident, for the first time in my adult life, I'm really proud of my Senator….

I was mad at Joe for endorsing McCain, but Joe is correct about Naive Obama

YES WE CAN?

NO SHE CANT

its just SO inspiring…

IS PUERTO RICO A WINNER TAKE ALL PRIMARY?????

Hillary can not win either, she has alinated too many voters that can see through her bs. The Florida and Michigan deabcle was self inflicted. All the candidated removed their names from the ballot in Michigan except Hillary, at the party's request and she still did not get 51% of the vote. She bucked the party then and now she wants to be rewarded for not playing by the rules for self gain I think not!! This is not the person I want in the Whitehouse leading this country.

Joe Lieberman. Give me a break.

He has lost his bearings too—a long time ago.

I'm appalled that people would actually consider Obama as president material. He is a disgrace to the Democratic party. I can't wait to vote for McCain if Hillary isn't nominated.

PA voter

Yeah! All you Hillary supporters - who are saying Obama will never win! You sound just like Hillary who is losing and begging a rookie for a debate! Begging to be put on TOP of his TICKET! If Hillary can beat Mc Cain - how come she can't a rookie who have managed a better campaign and tons of money?

Hillary supporters should go to Hillary's home page and give her more money before her plane runs out of gas! What a much of loser to give millions to a loser!

So Obama is a new kid is what you are saying? Well - so why is the powerful first lady, NY Senator losing and out of money???

Mc Cain is no one to fear! He was a POW for 5-years! He's a punk! He didn't fight in Nam - another war the USA should not have been in and didn't win - just like Iraq! Mc Cain - how much money are you and Bush paiding Hamas not to kill us?

The Repigs have a lot more problems in their party then we do!

Half of the Repigs don't even like Mc Cain!

Obama will be President of the USA !
MCCain and Hillary…, NEVER!!

THe best I heard was from mitt romney yesterday, What has Obama aaccomplished ? think about folks before u jump up and down for Obama, listen we are electing the leader of the world, not the mayor of Chicago!!!!

Obama is not what he is portrayed to be. He is not a "uniter". He and others may say he is, but he has not proven it with any actions. In fact he has proven the opposite if you look at his actions. He has been a member of a church with a pastor that says insulting things about not just whites but America in general. This is the same person Obama considers his spiritual leader. The same person who married him. The same person who baptized his two kids. The same person he named his book after. Come on folks, Obama does not feel insulted by Rev Wright's words, he agrees with them. He only now says he is insulted because he has to in order to get elected. His wife also said (before the Wright tapes came out) that this was the first time she was proud of America. What? Her husband running for president was the first time she was proud of America? That's just crazy! That is the same philosophy as Rev Wright. They believe and agree with what Rev Wright has said in his surmons, don't be fooled. He may win the democratic nomination, but he has no chance in the general election. White independents won't vote for him, nor will many of the Hillary supporters. Good luck in 2012.
vr, Xeifrank

Leiberman has proven antisimites wrong who claim that all Jews are smart.

Senator Joe Lieberman has always been a very good judge of character…

Clinton is the Democrats only hope, Senator Obama will never beat the Republicans…

listen you lieberman. the only reason you are there is because it was the democrats who voted you in. now you turn your back on the very people who voted for you. you should be ashamed of yourself. you old geezer. who need you anyway. mcsame/lieberman.

These people make me sick to my stomach to think that I once considered myself a republican.

McCain-Lieberman vs. Obama-Bloomberg: What a disastrous set of choices! The only hope is Hillary.

This is for all those people who say they will vote for mcain if hillary does not win. lieberman. he has truly lost his princilples. and values. We need to grow up, some times we don't get exactly get what you want but do you really want mcain to be our next president. think about your jobs and your kids and our countries future please please please!!!!!!!!

BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!

Hey An American in Canada… stay in Canada. It is idiots like you who stomp your feet and take your ball home when you don't get your way…is that how you ended up in Canada?…didn't like the way things were going in the states? "I'm not going to take it anymore," boohoo boohoo boohoooooooooo, wah wah wah….shut up

Mr. Lieberman is convinced that his knowledge of the intricacies of human conduct are the correct guidelines for human interaction. It would be wonderful if he were correct. History however, indicates that these guidelines are not correct, in as much as they have never resulted in successful dealings that have brought peace wherever conflict has been present, especially in the middle East. Open conversation and learning about other persons' culture and motives for his actions are far more promising than establishing prideful conditions that hamper understanding. Hurray for Barrack if he thinks that confrontation is unnecessary in the effort to establish open communication and peaceful solutions to very complicated human issues,…and you Mr. Lieberman, take a lesson from a humanist.

I know CNN won't post my rant but at least I got it out of my system. NOT!

I also agree with LongHorn mama- Obama has done nothing but stab people in the back to get where he is, but yet says that he is going to change politics to be better. Obama has only gotten the position where he is in his life by the help of Hillary Clinton and instead of letting her have her time to solve the many problems facing this country, he is trying to take credit for things that she has done her whole political life. Why doesn't anyone question him more about his experience or some of the controversial and offensive things that he and Michelle say about the Clintons. In order to change the way things are you have to have a leader who can make that possible and that is Hillary Clinton. She is still running because she knows this and her supporters know this. This is more than just speeches or race or gender, it is about people's lives and what will be done to make them better!

Very glad you defected, with crazy rants like that

Okay, so it's the American public that's supposed to decide the nominee? Then the fact Obama has more popular votes and more pledged delegates than Hillary in santioned contests means he should be the nominee, correct? Then what's the problem?

He's not the one who needs the supers to overturn the will of the people to get him the nomination…that's your girl Hillary

Let me explain in Dr. Seuss terms for the Obama kool-aid generation:

I will not vote for Obama here,
I will not vote for Obama there.

I will not vote for Obama today,
I will not vote for Obama tomorrow.

I will vote for Hillary or,
I will vote for McCain.

Obama cannot beat McCain,
McCain cannot beat Hillary.

So Hillary as the nominee,
a democrat I shall be.

If Obama is the nominee,
a republican I will vote reluctantly.

Moderator,

Are Idiot and Shut-up considered appropriate language?

Day after day I see rude comments and inappropriate language being posted on your blog and yet you filter comments that are against Obama and for McCain or Hillary.

Respect your own rules.

Lordy, Lordy, McBush has a lapdog already!!

This shouldn't be about race or gender, this should be about issues and what person has the best ideas to make American lives better! Clinton actually addresses the issues with proposing solutions, while Obama is just complaining about all that is wrong with it. Just listen to the solutions, whose ideas are tangible and whose ideas can change people's lives. It isn't about believing in something or having hope that things will change- it is the actual ideas and ways in which people's lives will change! It is about the ideas and the experience needed to make these ideas and these campaign promises a reality, and it is sad to see that the truly better candidate is being pushed aside because someone can deliver an empty speech. When I graduate from college, no speech can make it so that I don't have endless debt, no speech that Obama makes will make it so that I will receive equal pay for equal work- these are real issues that real people face and something that no speech will solve.

Why is he even talking? And, who is listening to him? He may lose McCain more votes and he gets him?

Is this guy of any significance any longer? I can't imagine that people put too much stock into what Joe says.

I don't mind when people change thier mind or make a different choice than they did previously. That is called "learning." I do mind that a person changes thier philosophy and core principles because its expedient politics.

Will the GOP actually put Lieberman on the ticket? They can't be that suicidal…. can they? Wait till Moveon.org get a hold of Joe LIEbermans name.

McCain and Lieberman… two throw away politicians, sacraficial lambs of the GOP.

Sorry Scott… George W. Bush already beat Barack to the punch on that one…

____________________________-

Gosh - I hope when Hillary is dragged off the stage - that you and her lousy supporters go with her and take your issues regarding MI and FL votes directly to Howard Dean. Do you need his website or can you read?

Some of you Hill supporters sounds just like her thugs - like James Carville!!!

Regarding MI and FL - what about all the people that didn't VOTE and what about all the OTHER states that followed the rules?

Heads up - the General Election is Nov/08 - OK. So now you have enough time to listen and read the freaking rules and vote! Florida - many of you blew the 2000 election - maybe a practice run this year?

Get a life - go help Hillary pack up!

You know, the majority are not still right. The proof: the majority voted for Bush in 2004. I predict you a defeat of the democrats in November if Obama is the official candidate. If the democrats lose the general elections it will not be because of Clinton but because of the democratic voters who made the bad choice of the candidate.

I also agree with LongHorn mama- Obama has done nothing but stab people in the back to get where he is, but yet says that he is going to change politics to be better. Obama has only gotten the position where he is in his life by the help of Hillary Clinton and instead of letting her have her time to solve the many problems facing this country, he is trying to take credit for things that she has done her whole political life. Why doesn't anyone question him more about his experience or some of the controversial and offensive things that he and Michelle say about the Clintons. In order to change the way things are you have to have a leader who can make that possible and that is Hillary Clinton. She is still running because she knows this and her supporters know this. This is more than just speeches or race or gender, it is about people's lives and what will be done to make them better!

The only way I, as a Hillary supporter, would vote for Obama is if:

"I LOST MY BEARINGS" !!!

I don't think the Republicans are running scared over a empty suit. I think the Democratic party should be more afraid of all the Democrats who are living there party. I know myself and my family are going and alot of Hillary's supporters will follow. We are finally on that kool-aid. Voting for a blind ambition. Come on Hillary supporters get on the Bus with JOHN McCAIN and lets rid this country of this joke of a candidate. No Obama is going to be his new slogan. Hillary Clinton or bust. Go out and vote don't deny your god given right. Vote for Hillary or lets stick together and get John elected. Thanks Hillary supporters!

This shouldn't be about race or gender, this should be about issues and what person has the best ideas to make American lives better! Clinton actually addresses the issues with proposing solutions, while Obama is just complaining about all that is wrong with it. Just listen to the solutions, whose ideas are tangible and whose ideas can change people's lives. It isn't about believing in something or having hope that things will change- it is the actual ideas and ways in which people's lives will change! It is about the ideas and the experience needed to make these ideas and these campaign promises a reality, and it is sad to see that the truly better candidate is being pushed aside because someone can deliver an empty speech. When I graduate from college, no speech can make it so that I don't have endless debt, no speech that Obama makes will make it so that I will receive equal pay for equal work- these are real issues that face real people and something that no speech will solve.

Joe who? This guy can't even figure out which party he wants to belong to. What gives him foreign policy cred?

See that's the problem with the McCain's of the world always want someone to fear them. Why we as a country try a different approach and at least try and talk to our enemies? Fearing the bully don't mean one day they won't attack our country remember 911.

Liebermann and Hillary are self-serving. Nuff said!

Independent, Joe Lieberman is a man of moderate values– those that used to embody the Democratic Party. Now that the Party is being hijacked by radicals don't be surpriised to see more Democrats become Independents.

Barack Obama is our country's opportunity to apologize to the world community for what we've done to them in the last 8 years.

Furthermore, he represents the opportunity to turn back the clock to 2000, and live in a world where we the people did NOT accept a court almost entirely appointed by one of the candidate's fathers throwing out the election results they didn't like.

In this alternate Universe, President Gore never disbanded Bill Clinton's al Qaida task force, like Bush did, creating an unprecedented national security vulnerability that was exploited on 9/11.

Yes, we have already seen what the old school experienced folks have done to our nation. I guess most of us are happy about the USA global stance. I guess we are happy about our current and near future economic situation. I guess we see our children's future as being on the right road. So if we are going in the right direction, then McCain will represent that quite well.

But, if we want to improve America and where we will be in the future, then Obama will represent that quite well.

Go MCcain, i contnue to hope Hillary wins but if not,I'll vote for you.

Lieberman is a nobody but McCain's puppy.

Which party does he belong to really? Democratic? Republican? "Independent'? That's a confused man just like New York's Bloomberg. These are political freaks that cannot be taken seriously. They are irrelevant.

Lieberman's new name is PUPPY JOE.

And this is relevant for what reason? I think Joe should continue falling through the cracks.

Considering where the source came from-Who Cares! OBAMA/08

We are dancing in the streets now that we know McCain will be our next president. The Democrats got rid of their best candidates, first
Edwards now Hillary. Blew it again. Can you Obama people say:
President John McCain.
President John McCain.

Repeat after me. President John McCain.

This ridiculous meandering criticism is reminiscent of Bush's attitude towards speaking with Sadaam. What a horrific example of stupidity we have to remind us and the Iraqi people of where such ignorance in foreign relations can lead.

Paulette, Cincinnati, Ohio

Pauette.. how easy was it for you to believe allthe garbage you just wrote… did you check out for yourself any single fact…

(obviously not.. because NONE of what you said was true… not one single word… you are the type who wouldn't vote for Obama of Jesus and the Pope endorsed hi.

Better if you just admit it.

we've had 7 years of tough,and look where we're at,now.oh,yeah,you voted for this stupid war ,too.you're a flip-flopper ,just like mccain,and a warmonger,like bush and cheney.how much have you earned off our troops' blood.you should all be jailed.

So he wont even offer her the VP slot.

would love to see how they plan on 'uniting the country' when they plan on slapping every clinton voter in the land across the face with some who-the-hell-is-that VP.

the obama camp has been bad enough to the clintons as it is this campaign. take kennedy for example.. talk about audacity!!! trust me, excluding her from the ticket really will be electoral suicide. not to mention a huge anticlimax to an exciting race. My patience is wearing thin with the Yes-we-can to No-she-cant camp. and there is only ONE way to solve it.

and i'd know. if she isnt on the ticket after all of this, i vote mccain. so will millions like me.

over to you, obama folks.

Can you explain the man called Romney who wants to destroy the social security system ?

LIEberman, You and Cindy want to run the country because you know McBush is too senile.

Joe Lieberman is the Zell Miller of 2008. I hope you are enjoying your lst term in the Senate. Connecticut will not elect you again.

Are we all just sick of the whiny punks who threaten to vote McBush if Hillary is not nominated? For me. Let these Hit lery youth racists cross over to the Republicans. We will be better off when we are purged of these ignorant,intolerant losers.

Looks like the home is missing another patient. Go back to your Bingo game Liberman, certainly don't want you missing your afternoon meds.

No one cares what you think. You're only excited about the prospect of Hillary doubling the size of your party, you traitor.

thats if he can remember who our friends and enemies are. heck, that's if he can remember anything.

John McCain and Lie berman are only afraid of Obama; Lieberman, a partyless politician has LIE in his name so all he could do is to tell lies.

Hey Thomas,

your candidates name is spelled:
John McCain

(it's at the top of the page too)

hopefully he has plenty more educated people like you to count on for his vote.

and to an American in Canada:

You don't have to yell. It's not polite and makes you sound crazy.

try hitting a button called "caps lock" next time.

Paulette, did you know that the Clintons summoned Rev. Wright to the White House when the Monica thing was happening? He was invited to their White House. It seems pretty unlikely that he'll be invited to Obama's, after all his recent efforts - unintentional or not - to sink Obama.

And, to "American in Canada":

October 2007: "It's clear that this election they're having [in Michigan] is not going to count for anything," Hillary Clinton during an interview with New Hampshire Public Radio in

August 2007: Clinton adviser Harold Ickes voted to strip the rogue states (Michigan & Florida) of their delegates as a member of the DNC's Rules and Bylaws committee - "to prevent the gaming of the system,"

September 2007: Patti Solis Doyle, Former Clinton's campaign manager, pledged not to compete in either contest -. "We believe Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina play a unique and special role in the nominating process… and the DNC's rules and its calendar provide the necessary structure to respect and honor that role," "Thus, we will… adhere to the DNC-approved nominating calendar."

January 2004: Former DNC chairman–and current Clinton aide–Terry McAuliffe: "If I allow you to do that, the whole system collapses," (According to his memoir)."The closest [Michigan's delegates will] get to Boston will be watching it on television. I will not let you break this entire nominating process for one state. The rules are the rules.

Let Obama and McCain go after each other, while Clinton sits back plan her way to victory, and at the Convention she will Grab the Nomination from Obama, Listen HRC may look down and out, But she's a CLINTON, NEVER COUNT OUT A CLINTON! She said at the start of this Presidential Cycle she's in it to win it, Is she going anywhere NO, will she win it, YES.. Just sit back watch and you'll see.. FL AND MI is still in Play
( DEAN SAID FL AND MI WILL BE SEATED)

Who is running– McCain and/or Lieberman?Lieberman as a former Democratic Vice Presidential candidate has a dubious and continuing role — forgotten but not gone.

The republicans are so so so nervous now.

HILLARY (HIL-LA-REE) or NOBODY (NO-BAH-DEE)!!!

If the nomination is stolen from Hillary, I will not vote, come November. If they steal it and she runs independent, then I'd vote. One things for sure, I will not vote for Obama.

Lieberman just wants to be McBush's vice President. Lets see, McBush and Hillary (Bush lite ) Clinton both want to Nuke Iran and bring on W W 3. And Obama would like to talk to Iran face to face first. Hmmm I think I will vote to let Obama talk first. The same way Kennedy talked with Russia and Cuba first instead of just Nukeing our way to oblivian.

Obama is the best person for the job because he doesn't owe any favors the the "old boy's'club" in Washington. Canadians love him because he is smart, decent and honest. Why would you judge somebody by the minister at their church? I am glad people don't judge me that way because I have often disagreed with my minister but it doesn't mean I can't worship at my church where my friends and family attend.

Hey Smiley, The Soviet spoke to Regan only after they were convinced that the old man had his finger on the trigger and he wasn't afraid to pull it if they cross the line. Someone like Jimmy Carter on the other hand could speak to the Russian for another 50 years and the cold war will still be going on.

Clinton is a brand name in politics. It's bigger than Coke and Pepsi. If Obama, a virtual unknown, can beat a brand name like Clinton, what do you think will happen in the general to a McCain? Who is no Clinton

It's hilarious that, considering all the baggage people attach to Obama, that he's essentially defeated Hillary Clinton.

If Obama is really as dangerous, and unamerican as people claim, why isn't Hillary defeating him in primaries by 95-5 margins or better? Why didn't she close the deal?

What I see is a candidate that has managed to endure having every kitchen sink, anvil, and safe thrown at him, and is still not only standing, but has essentially won the nomination.

Are we absolutely sure he isn't divine?

Joe Lieberman should get a job singing with the Leningrad Cowboys. At least, that way, he would be entertaining.

When you look at the enormous head sizes of Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney and Karl Rove, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do I feel lucky punk Do you ?

History would record this event as a historic moment that United State America for the first time embraced a meaningful equality between races. No longer it is only in Hollywood Movies that one can find a black men acting as a Presidents or even a God. It is now indeed a reality.

I would further say that come November Obama will have absolutely no problem in beating MaCain, because, by then he has beyond doubt proven that he has gained so much experience managing to come total obscurity and with the help of few $ donated here and there to beat the most formidable Lady in America backed by the might of Democrat Machinery and millions of $ of personal Clinton wealth, little by little chipping away and clearing a hummable path to victory. I would most certainly call this endeavour as pure genius as no man that I have heard of has achieved it in such a short time. I would finally say that nowhere else in the world can this kind of fairy tale take place.

Well Done USA, you may have just changed the perception that the world had of you in being just bunch of Cowboys.

Obama is spinning down the toilet.

Lieberman should be careful, the Obama supporters will come after him. Just go to the post about HIllary being ahead in WV to see how hate filled the campaign of hope and change really is. Every post on there is mean and nasty. I'm printing it out, and when anyone I know even thinks about voting for Obama, I will show them page after page of hate filled racist rants from his supporters. Anyone who can inspire the kind of hate he does, isn't someone I want to vote for. The media thinks we will come together when Hillary leaves the race, I say no way, and I will actively show people what Obama and his hate filled supporters are about.. McCain is the next target on the Obama hit list, be careful when hope and change comes looking for you, they are one angry group of people.

Hey…..there is news that Robert Malley, an Obama aide has resigned after his reported talks with Hamas. geez….Obama camp attracts quite a number anti-Israel people.
Anyways…lets start the ball rolling….The time has almost come now, looks like the horse race is ending now, fasten on your belts, take a deep breadth and wait for the feared GOP attacks. I already believe they must have saved some shells for the general. They are going to throw one by one.

Obama is such a whiner!

how many popular votes did mccain get during the primary?hillary and obama each got more votes than mccain.mccain has raised a third of what either of them have raised.republicans are toast ,this fall,so they can forget about getting our troops killed ,for THEIR oil,anymore.good riddance!

An American in Canada

WE ARE OVER HALF OF AMERICAN THAT WANT CLINTON AS OUR PRESIDENT

I hate to break the news to you 60% of Americans find HRC untrustworthy If your statement was true then she would be the nominee and by a wide margin I might add! this is what is wrong with you die hard Clinton supporters you don't even know the fact you just read a headline and then run off at the mouth with lies and garbage! I hope you very few of you as they are go and vote for Mc Cain! this GE is going to be the biggest landslide in US history! If even 50% of HRC supporters vote for Obama in November he wins by a landslide! This really is his election to lose at this point! For you people to hate someone for no other reason except a few lies or GOP talking points you read in a headline is just plain stupid! Ignorance can be cured with an education, Stupidity if for life!!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

Obama's pants are on fire! Get it! Pants are on fire cause he's a liar!

""WE ARE OVER HALF OF AMERICAN THAT WANT CLINTON AS OUR PRESIDENT WHEN YOU COUNT FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN AND AGAIN THEY TRY TO DICTATE TO THE PUBLIC WHO WILL OR SHALL BE THE PRESIDENT""

A new SurveyUSApoll indicates, that if California were able to revote like Michigan and Florida want to, Obama would now defeat Hillary Clinton.

Lieberman who is an hypocrite, makes non sense comments for get the attention of Mccain for vive presidency. What a wild dream………..

Obama needs to drop out!

If Lieberman is the VP and if McCain wins prepare your boys and girls to die on Iranian soil.
Lieberman wants them bombed, he wants to destroy them, he wants a war.
I have been following this guy and he is very, very bad news.

LonghornMama: Yes all these poeple have more experience and bush does have more experience then obama and look where we are at. Our economy is garbage, we are spending billions of dollars on a war that shouldnt have been and america is hated more then ever across the world…. So with all that experience do you think it really matters?

I'm so glad we helped get Obama the nomination. He won't stand a chance. lol

McCain 08

He's your future republican VP…

Obama is a racist for saying Hillary will win in West Virginia!

Old story:

Question: How to make presidential race endless? (for 2000 election).

Answer: Take a Jewish guy as your runmate (Liberman). You will recount voices forever (Florida).

Don't consider me as an antisemit. I am jewish.

Reading all these comments you can see that we live on the big can with gun powder. Hillary is the most dangerous, she has unhealthy FIRE in her eyes.

Of these three people Obama is the best although some concerns exist. Hopefully Democracy (what is this?) has some mechanisms to correct situation if we will make a mistake.

Well, the good news is that Obama will never be President. Don't give up Hillary. The road to 2012 begins now!

So Joe Lieberman has something to say why didnt he find his voice during the 2000 election. Experience is whay as gotten us into all of the troble that we are in today . To all of the Clinton supporter out there
undsestand something everone one running agree to the a set of rules Florida and Michigan leadership broke those rules .Do not blame Obama .The American public did vote and their states allow the rules .

Hey, American in Canada… The American people DID vote, and they chose Obama. Just chill out and vote Democrat. Obama is either going to be an amazing president, or he's not going to be. We know that with McCain we're getting a warmonger, so I think I'll roll the dice with Obama.

Obama has too much baggage. He needs to bow out gracefully.

Goodbye Obama!

I wonder if Hillary is on the Ticket as VP, will all of you O'Bama haters vote for O'Bama and Hillary then.

nothing good has ever come from fear.

War does not make for peace. Obama makes more sense than any other candidate.

To: An American in Canada

I guess now would be a good time to mention that, even with MI and FL, Hillary's still losing the popular vote by somewhere between 90 and 180 thousand votes.

The generation thing again!! We have very comfortable retirement facilities for the old and deserving politicians. Lieberman and McCain will make good room mates with a lot to talk about,

three reasons for voting NO BAMA are CNN ,MSNBC, and obamas little experience and hidden past. Many democrats should vote for MCCAIN .Now a BIGGER REASON TO VOTE FOR OBAMA VICE MCCAIN. THE sleaziest, most disgusting, Butt kissing ,low life politician in my lifetime of 78 years. His name is Joe [stab you in the back LIEBERMAN who is probably Mccain's top choice for VICE PRES. This double crossing, back stabbing,{ democrat, independent, or any thing else that needs a dishonorable candidate,] is about the only reason That americans should vote for Obama vice a senile old coot and his suck up partner. CNN and MSNBC plus THE KENNEDY FAMILY have set new [LOW] standards for integrity and honest y of the media and long time honorable Kennedy familyas Ichons of the democratic party.

mccain - liebermann, to hell with talking to those with whom you disagree just bomb em, no care for innocent women and children, they disagree with us bomb em' shame on you mccain-lieberman!!!!

Well said LonghornMama. The media selected W Bush and are at it again selecting the worse than Bush candidate. The DNC hierarchy do not value the votes of women and blue collar whites and it shows.
Let them win without that coalition in November. Keep your registration democratic and vote for the other democrat to show them we count also. Other is on every ballot in every state already. Check other and write in Hillary R Clinton. Make it a four horserace in November. Joe Lieberman made it a three horserace in Connecticut afther the party backstabbing and WON. Let's do it again. America is worth fighting for.

There goes that fear tactic again. I don't think John McCain really instills fear in anyone. What about respect?

Is he talking to the Wall.. Goodness. One minute he is a DEM now he is a REP… Talk to the Hand.. Because the ears aren't listening!

Lieberman is driven by one dream only:the bombing of Iran.
Hillary wants to obliterate Iran, so of course, she's his gal.
Lieberman supported the Bush war because it was supposed to save Israel–from any real concession to a Palestinian state.
Lieberman is the fanatic voice of the relentless Israeli lobby–they want us bombing Iran, and extending the war into territory. (McCain also supports this policy. His spiritual guide, Rod Parsley, is a televangelist megachurch pastor from Ohio who hates Islam. Parsley has called on Christians to wage war against Islam, which he considers to be a "false religion.")
Hillary, meanwhile, has announced she would "devastate Iran".
Israel will not rest until we bomb Iran, and then prove to the Arab world that their lives are of no more purpose than the lives of the Palestinians surpressed for sixty years. So, it is time to say NO loud to fascist dinosaurs like Mr. Lieberman and the reckless, failed militarism of Israel.

LonghornMama

You are very caught up in web lies looks like you have been on one of the GOP websites that does not but spread trash and lies! Either that or you can not read! No one has the experience to be president! It is like having kids no one is ready when that first one comes along. Mothers and father relay on those around them grandparents and aunts and uncles to guide them. For the president It is more important to have judgment than you claim of experience! That he has you can tell that simply by looking at the example of his campaign. He has went up against the strongest and most powerful forces in are government throwing everything they could collectively find and he is still standing there, and still winning. so please go educate yourself to facts and get away from the GOP Obama bashing web sites they have no truth in them and you can verify most of the info as false or subjective within 5-15 min on Google it is not that hard!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

How soon do we forget that Obama was badly beaten by Hillary in the Pennsylvania debate, it really shows Obama does not do well under pressure and he's the weaker candidate. And we expect him to lead our country?

To "An American in Canada":

STAY IN CANADA!

Obama 08 There has to be some talk to the guy to even get somewhere with a solution.e cannot quickly go to the guns and start bombing Iran; this barbaric. We can have some talk just like the European Union is working on a proposal for Iran. You have to talk to them to even get such proposal. You what happen to us what we act like cowboy in the world; most our allies stay away from us in Iraq but Britain that offered urge support. We paid all the prices when it come to lives and money to rebuild that country. No allies want to spend a penny in that war because they realize that it was not justify. Senator Obama has very good judgment that can bring US sta
