to the earlier posting – we dont want him in canada

It makes me wonder who listens to him anyway. They like to parade him around like he's special. The Republicans have chosen absolutely the most boring candidate possible and then we have to listen to Lieberman blah, blah as well.

Why doesn't Lieberman just come out and admit he's a Republican? Maybe he'll be McCain's running mate.

monica, you are pathetic, if you reflect the obama faction, then you belong to the old politics……shame on your camp.

Obama-Webb! or Obama-Sebelius?

Lieberman who?

Which hole did he crawl out from?
Gimme a break and go sit somewhere loser!

Why do my comments always sit in “awaiting moderation” for so long while all the positive Obama comments and negative Hillary comments seem to get pushed right through? Bias coverage – even on the CNN blogs? It’s just like watching Anderson Cooper 360…

Plain and simple – this country needs more patriots and fewer partisan lapdogs.

I, like many Americans, am still on the fence about November. As it is right now, I am likely to lean toward whomever slings the LEAST mud about their opponent.

Where would McCain be without Lieberman whispering in McCain's ear – telling him, at least twice, who was fighting who in Iraq!

McCain may have made many trips to Iraq, on the taxpayer's dime and a waste of huge amounts of jet fuel, but he didn't seem to learn much – or is he just another old man, forgetful and full of crochets: remembering how it used to be … when he was a maverick, before Bush stole the election of 2000 …

Obama has no friggin clue as to what's going on in the Middle East. He is a disaster waiting to happen.

Hey, a Democrat with a brain. Too much for you smarmy, cornball, cry baby, bed wetting Obamanites to understand. You really think he cares? If he wins enjoy the give aways and the deterioration of the American infrastructure. Don't believe it? Redistribution of the wealth. Look up the definition of Socialist. Obama's picture is right there.

Obama has done nothing for 20 years but sit up in a black church and dap with the brothers while a bunch of blow hard '60s era racist badmouth "whitey" from the pulpit. When he gets into office you should hold on to your wallet because whatever you have left after paying for food and gas, he will be taking to give free health care, free housing, and free food to those who don't work, won't work, and would not work if you made them president of General Motors. On top of that every radical muslim in the world will be trying him on for size since they know he will never commit troops against them. Remember the Jimmy Carter inflation years because you will be seeing them again soon. Oh, I forgot. Most of Obama's backers are too young to remember what happens when a flaming liberal with no experience gets in office.

Do Republicans really love Joe Loserman?

Joel Liberman's grasp of foreign policy doesn't reach from Connecticut to Rhode Island. He would be doing himself a huge favor if he would fade into obscurity.

Scumbucket.

Lieberman and John McCain know more about the world than most of us. What happened to listening to people who have been around a bit longer than our nose? Maybe we could learn something if we weren't so quick to judge the older generation. John McCain is still a far better choice in a world that hates us than our naive democratic candidate. And….I AM a Democrat!
Tthis time, I am voting Republican. Barack can't handle our enemies, which are legion!

Dave, Dave, Dave:
Nobody thinks Lieberman is "still in the Democratic party," except you. He's an Independent. Fortunately, the voters in Connecticut know that, and they voted him in as an Independent when he lost the Dem nod. If you're going to carp, Dave, you really need to do your homework. He owes nothing to Dems; they bounced him, but Connecticut voters elected him anyway.

Lieberman please seat down. Loseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer

Hey CNN. The obvious bias on this venue is disgusting. You have allowed only one pro-Lieberman comment to be posted. This is not a free forum, but more of an Obummer shill media.

Go away Lieberman you are two faced, and besides I dont want to
hear what you have to say. You change your mind too much.

His loyalty is in Israel, and he think other people do not have right to life.
free tax payer money for Israel, more than 6 billion dollars every year.
It seems the world and life is all about Jews or Israel.
While many Americas leave on the street, can not afford medical insurances, school and others loosing their home. Yes it is all about you.
Yes America needs to blow every body up for Israel, Palestine need to be free. He is nothing but a MORON

This is the guy that Carville should have labeled "Judas"!!!

Obama's joke of a candidacy has got me siding with Lieberman now?

What's next?

McCain Democrat '08

Liebermann is a disgrace to all that is right and true in American politics. I cannot believe he has the audacity to open his mouth and talk.
That traitor and Republican wanna be.

Mr. Lieberman should go home and stay their. If he "thinks" he knows so much, then he should have run for Pres. and would lose.

McCain wants "town hall meetings"! No Gimmicks from Mr. McGimmick himself.

Obama all the way to the White House. Protect Him!

No!?! Really!?!? Lieberman being critical of the democratic nominee?

How's that angling for a VP offer from McCain going Joe?

Who is this guy??????????Another FRAUD and a TRAITOR to the democrats. Once he was chosen to be Gore's vice -president!!!!! And now he is spilling venom and lies. He needs to examine his molecules in his "donkey" brain, because they are FLUTUATING at the speed of sound…

Joe Lie-berman has been torpedoing Democrats since his botched performance as Al Gore's running mate in 2000.

Joe Lieberman needs to but out. I'm so tired of his annoying everything is about Israel monologue. I think he should move there and run for the Knesset.

Obama is correct. The US did Iran a favor by getting rid of Saddam, a sunni, who fought Iran to a draw 20 years ago. Iran has far greater influence and power in that region now that Saddam is gone.

Who cares what this representative of "Washington as usual" has to say…

Gary's comment about the possibility of Joe Lieberman being the losing VP candidate for both parties is quite apt. America is tired of Bush-peddler Joe. Go away Joe.

Why does CNN appear to only print a majority of pro Obama/anti Clinton comments? I know I've sent many comments favoring Clinton but they're never printed. After this election, CNN will no longer be the "Most trusted name in News" – HA HA!

Yo Joey Boy, throw your hat in the McCain ring for VP and your boring flip floppin butt will surely help in the Repub. loss.

What a sad specimen … Empty vessel is a better description perhaps.

Lieberman is so right and guess what Dems the truth hurts. Obama will get torn apart in the general election for his naive and misguided foriegn policy. The whole lets just get our troops out thing is not making sense any more that we have turned the tide and guess what Obama the troops want to stay and get the job done right so we dont have to come back years later to clean up the mess.

Just move to Israel, Joe. We're tired of you.

I don't care anymore – being Democratic it's humiliating that we have a presidential nominee who is nothing more than a privilaged individual who is wet behind the ears and will probably have to be trained on the job. What a choice we have, someone who could possibly run this country on trial and error – oh, well! All I know is that I'm one of those millions of voters whose vote apparently didn't count. But, if it's possible for me to write in the name of Hillary Clinton in November, that's what I'll do, so hopefully, she won't agree to any "dream" ticket with Obama. If THAT happens, it's McCain who'll get the vote!

Cause and effect

I just refer to a headline as of June / 13 2007 :

" US senator Joseph Lieberman suggests attacking Iran base "

Is that the right way to fight terrorism ? – it helps to create it !

Politicians should negociate to prevent such disasters.

Lieberman, you know you are sad. You can't even decide what party you belong to. Pull up your rocking chair and sit it next to Pop McCain, while you watch the clinton children play

Toooo Oooollllldddd and crazy

Joe Lieberman is an imbecile. He is a worthless loser who pulled a stupid, shameless stunt (switching parties) just so he could hold on to power.

Joe, why don't you and Hillary both leave congress? You can go back to Arkansas with her (and maybe you can help her re-launch Whitewater).

so CNN was my comment too much for you guys to handle…understandable..truth is always bitter

I think, in my opinion, the word "flimsy" would be more accurate to use Sen. Lieberman. I just cannot picture that candidate doing anything to help Israel. I just have to look at all of the baggage. I don't even think they would take odds on this issue in Las Vegas. Wake up America and smell the coffee!

Don't stop at just Foriegn Policy, there's a whole lot more. Dave, McCain did not say we would be there anither 100 years. If your going to restate the comment then get it right.

Yea, it's him again, you know, the thorn in your side, the village trator,
the town clown, that pain you just can't get rid of.
Some one tell McCain his puppy has lost his way.

S King

Keep your Lieberman down in the U.S, we don't want him here in Canada. If he comes, he will not enter the canada, we will deport him right at the border…

Shawn, it does sound that way doesn't it??? Can you say Judas with his own agenda…

Watch your back McCain, he just might turn on you as well. On second thought, don't watch your back. Put your full faith in him, by all means.

I don't understand why people wants McCain to win. If they him into office they don't love USA. McCain is the biggest joke in this race. I respect this man more if he kept to his promise to be straight talker and not lie about his policy or voting record. All he wants to do to is attack Iran. He doesn't really have any solutions to our economic problem. I can't believe people think he is better suited to handle our economic problems. The only hope we have is OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Vote for OBAMA. I just hope people will come to realization that OBAMA will bring the glory back to USA. McCain will only make it worst. Thats my opinion.

The McCain/Lieberman ticket:

Let's send more American boys to die in some Godforsaken desert.

What a sell-out. First he leaves the Democratic Party to become a so-called Independent. Now he is McCain's lap dog. Please just go away. Now I know why Al Gore couldn't win the presidency in 2000 with this clown on the ticket.

Republicans, the scare tactics of the past won't work this time. America has had enough and we have the blood of those killed and wounded in Iraq to prove it.

Why would Canada want all these far left loonies to move up here.
After a long , non productive , corrupt liberal government , we have finally a conservative leader who gets things done.
A lot of us admire Hillary Clinton and I for one , think that she would have been a terrific President.
Obama , the most liberal , least experienced and one who keeps some rather unsavoury company is completley unvetted and yet you vote for him to become your Presidential nominee.
He is a great speaker , when he has a teleprompter.
That's about it.!!!!

McCain's Policy = "Because I don't know anything about economics, but I know what it's like to be a P.O.W., let's have 100 more years of war."

Joe Lieberman is simply a covert Israeli lobbyist. His primary loyalty lies with Israel and the effort to make America the "big stick" to protect Israel.
He will support the Bush/McCain doctrine 100%. Despite his alleged voting record in the Senate, make no mistake when it comes to issues favoring Israel Joe supports them every time.

My hope is when Obama is elected he and the Congress Democratic leadership will marginalize Right Wing Joe and relegate him to voting with the Republican block. Kill his influance on committees and make him impotent. He should not be allowed to infuse any debate with the Democratic candidate or the party platform since he has become a Republican on all foreign policy issues.

Joe is a coward, traitor, turncoat, Bush lackey and Putz.

Sounds like senator Leiberman is more loyal to the state of Israel than to the United States of America!! Although the interests of two countries are 99% the same and we have to continue to support them but it does not mean that we sacrifice our national security concerns and international reputation for them all the time!!!

Demo Republican Liebermann

Cause : Minority-Freak Joe Liebermann would sacrifice any country,
including his "beloved " America to accomplish his
dirty work of Lieberman-Politiks.

Effect : Terrorism as it has always been.

is it that hard to understand ???—

Do we really need another wake up – call ????

>Obama's policy = "What can we give you to make you leave us alone?"

Yeah, theres nothing worse than negotiating. Everyone knows Iran is our enemy, we should just bomb them, and while we're at it anyone else that disagrees with us. Why talk when we could just end a few houndred thousand lives?

I really hope that Leiberman is the VP choice for McBush. I think it would be fitting if he became the first person to represent both parties as VP and lose. It would redefine the definition of looser and in Webster his picture would be placed next to the word with no definition required.

Lieberman is no more an Independent or Democrat than I am a space alien!

I hope he's never elected into office again, traitor!

Leiberman, I bet your state is SORRY for allowing you another crack at representing them. I bet they wish they could take it back.

Didn't somebody use the JUDAS line already? …Your days of representation will soon end and the DEMS will be the better for it.

Now, I see America didn't allow AL GORE to win because YOU were on the ticket!!! They saw right through your HATCHED-MAN mentality.

You're now considered a REPUBLICAN!!!

Joe Liberman does not care about the security of this country . All he cares about is the next president who place the Middle East Security on top of His/Her Agenda.

The key here for Joe Liberman is the security of the State of Israel. The security of the USA is secondary.

This is a fact

Paul has not been paying attention. McCain quit being the maverick when he crumbled on the issue of torture…and went along with the Bush administration by "compromising?" Talk about a Scoobie-Doo moment there, when a US Senator who was tortured as a POW himself…"compromised" on torture. Heck…once he compromised on torture he just began going along with Bush on everythingelse. And what in the heck has he voted against every GI Bill or VA Bill since he has been in office. Shame on him. As the daughter of a Vietnam vet I am more than disgusted and sickened that anyone would find McCain a "great supporter of the troups." That brings us to… Lieberman who became a Bush lap dog and was so…all about me… that he sold out to the Republicans who put him over the top as an Independent because he lost his primary contest for re-election. He couldn't read the writing in the voting booth, which said you are no longer representing our interests, you're done. Now…Lieberman is McCain's valet or handmaiden if you prefer.

Paula Jones has no idea what she is talking about. Joe Lieberman is not reaching across party lines. Hes bitter and playing get back with the democrats. What he dont understand is that the dems saw his value in the 2000 election and decided to toss his ashcan under the bus. Believe in that change idiot.

That comment makes no sense.
Jeez, Joe, just go away. Please.
On the plus side, maybe this time he can ruin a republican's presidential campaign.

Lieberman is going with the plan. He is putting more pressure on Obama to support the AIPAC. Lieberman's loyalty is for AIPAC and for himself, not for the US.
Stop the pressure.
Obama brings the change
Yes we can.

Lieberman at one time was as great Democrat, and a great moderate. He is gently going into Zell Miller territory. In 2006, I would have, had I lived in Ct., voted for him as an Independent. Today, I wouldn't vote for him as dog catcher. Being a conservative to moderate Democrat is one thing…but to bait Obama on Israel, when he knows Obama is 100% pro-Israel, is foolish….to support John McCain is foolish….to become a puppet for the right wing is foolish, particularly in light of his present positions supporting universla health care, progressive taxation, repeal of most of the Bush tax cuts, the environment, gay rights, etc. Lieberman on domestic issues is a Democrat, and yet he is supporting a GOP that is out to destroy all he has fought for. And why? Because he's mad about 2006. Lieberman won in 2006, depsite what the left tried to do to him, and he's out for revenge. The only victim in this drive for revenge will be Lieberman's public testimony as a fighter for the causes he has supported his entire career. He is giving up a legacy in favor of a mere moment with McCain. For shame. I wouldn't vote for him today for dog catcher.

Lieberman, who? Who can even keep up with where this man stands? Is he a Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian, Jewish, what? Maybe his two cents will matter when he can figure out who he is. For now, let's just help him remember his name so he can at least have his mind made up about that.

It's too bad Connecticut voters can't recall Lieberman.

I'm an Obama supporter and I want to see if he can stand the heat. Don't get mad at Lieberman, he's being a politician. If Obama can't respond to the Republican attack machine, then he doesn't deserve to be President.

Obama will be fine. He won an extraordinary campaign and is well-prepared to take on the Republicans thanks mostly to Hillary Clinton.

Joe Lieberman, The Homeless Politician !!!

Lieberman called the Independent Democrat, they need to rename him the Independent traitor Republican. I wonder ho much longer this guy can lie to stay in office….

Obama's policy = "What can we give you to make you leave us alone?"

The Dems need to strip Lieberman of his committee chairmanship come next congressional session Jan. 2009.

Lieberman is a coward, liar and traitor. There was nothing "democratic" about him when he was on the Gore ticket and he's only drifted further beyond the land if reason.

Ron is right — Take him into the Republican party, please!

This guy seems to be around a lot lately. He's always nipping at the cuff of McCain. Lieberman & McCain… two old politico's from "back in the day."

A vote for McCain is completely insane.

Joe who?

It's Lieberman's foreign policy beliefs that represent "my way or the highway" politics. Let's get that straight.

Obama does not have a clue about foreign policy. Obama is a fraud. He has no history of working across the aisle and uniting people. Now when its to late they will know the truth.

OK. I am glad to see you have changed 2004 to 2000.

If Senator Lieberman would look at the situation, then he would know that Iran has strengthened its sphere of influence. The Shiite in Iran are talking with the Shiite in Iraq as well as working together to hinder the Iraqi government and American forces. The Iranians, in the government and their religious leaders, have been bolder and speak with more hate. Yes, Senator Lieberman, Iran is stronger because their counter-balance is gone; we took out Saddam Hussein.

Israel has always been in danger. The Arabs and Iranians (technically they are Persians) hate Israel for reasons that I can't fully fathom. Until Arab love their children more than they hate Israelis and Jews, there will be risk to Israel and Jews around the world (paraphrasing Golda Meir).

Lieberman you'r a fool. Go and rest

McCain will eigther pick this dope (Lieberman) or Kay Bailey Hutchinson for VP. They both are scum.

Lieberman your nothing but a weasel.

Lieberman is nothing but a shill for AIPAC. Hope McSame invites him to be VP and he has the same effect on his campaign as he did for Gore…

One word: TRAITOR!

Hey Joe … get off your knees pal, McCain has already zipped up his pants and left your hotel room!

What a joke…..do we still listen to him?

I thought it was odd for Obama to say Iran has been strengthened… didn't a report come out earlier this year which said Iran halted its nuclear efforts right after Libya gave its weapons up in 2003? Those two examples are bloodless victories scored by the Bush administration. There's a few good results of Bush foreign policy, although I agree we need improvement.

Perhaps Obama would have disarmed Libya and Iran differently?

I am from Ct. and am totally embarresed that this idiot represents out state. Oh, by the way I am a registered Independant.

CORRECTION: Eric Cantor is Republican Rep. of VIRGINIA, not Ohio. I should know, I lived in his district.

If Lieberman had so much influence in the pary, he would still be in the party. He obviously had no place in Democratic affairs and as some others have stated, He is completely irrelevent!

CONGRATS SENATOR OBAMA! I AM BLESSED THAT MY EYES HAVE SEEN THE DAY THAT AN AFRICAN AMERICAN MAN HAS BEEN NOMINATED AS THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. MAYBE NOW WE CAN REALIZE THE TRUE POTENTIAL OF WHAT THE FOUNDERS DREAMED!

Someone's attacking Obama – Call Sharpton & Jackson so they can start a march.

Don't forget that republicans essentially put Lieberman in office in CT, since he couldn't win a majority of democrat votes and the republican candidates never have a chance in this state. I guess he's paying them back for his re-election.

how to spell weasel… L-I-E-B oh wait, my mistake.. hmmm come to think of it, nope. i was right.. let me finish then -E-R-M-A-N

and to think he claimed he'd be a democratic independant. HAHAHA, i'm sorry that Connecticut fell for his lies, i really am, i just hope they vote him out faster then anything for it.

Do we care what Lieberman says? I think not. Go Obama and no Clinton for VP.

When will the DNC kick this senator out ?

Ya know what old man, your big made-up words of fear are not going to sway the people this time!

Obama '08

Yep, that's how it happened in the CT election. Most CT dems are registered Independent, but we cannot vote in the (closed) primaries…so when Lieberman ran as Independent, guess what…the Independent Democrats put him over the top. Good move, Hillary should do the same.

To my amazement this has not been pointed out or corrected in the 200+ minutes since this article was published: Lieberman was not the Democratic Party's Vice Presidential nominee in 2004 (it was Edwards). He was said nominee in the year 2000.

Who is responsible for these blatantly factually incorrect "news" postings that then go published without proper review?

Fortunately most readers would, I would hope, probably recognize this error. But seeing factual errors like this on this supposedly "top name" news site makes me wonder how much I can trust getting accurate information on anything written here [which I do not already have more knowledge about than the authors].

And I'm sure this factual correction, which is in line with the CNN comments policy, will be censored and/or not allowed to be posted by those in control in fear of Big Brother Time/Warner, while many meaningless, idiotic comments are allowed. After all, lowering the level of discourse is surely what CNN aims to accomplish.

Henry

I hope Joe ends up as McCain's running mate. That will pretty much doom the already ill-fated Republican ticket…

Another old fart blowing wind.

Right on Joe!!

BHO is just another liberal tax and spend Dem. The Libs gave it to Hillary just like they gave it to you. They will go the way of Mondale and Kerry.

Stick with the winner Joe!

Clinton supportor for McCain!!

Here is how a staunch H.R. Clinton supporter sees the end of the Democratic primaries.
Total number of delegates needed to receive the Democratic Nomination 2118

Obama received 1763 elected delegates; he missed 2118 by 355 delegates
Clinton received 1640 elected delegates; she missed 2118 by 494 delegates.
Obama has 18 million popular votes
Clinton has 18 million + popular votes

Thus neither Obama, nor Clinton secured the number of elected delegates to win.

The popular vote goes to Clinton she received more votes than Obama.

However, the super delegates, anxious to make history by backing the first black American Democratic leader, ran over themselves to back Obama, and gave Clinton a difficult time. SO OBAMA WAS GIVEN THE NOMINATION!

What the Clinton supporters truly believe that since neither candidate won the designated 2118 for the nomination, THEY SHOULD BOTH SIT ON THE TICKET.

AND IF NOT; we hte Clinton’s staunch supporters will either not vote at all, or vote to support J. S. McCain.

That is not an baseless threat, we are Clinton's legion of supporters and how you treat her is how we will feel that we are being treated…

Is this the same Joe Leiberman that got thrown out of the Democratic party? He should just go away. His words means nothing to anyone who has an ounce of intelligence.

Please make Lieberman the spokesmodel for the Republicans. I can't wait to watch…

Is he for real? He is democrat who is trying to stop the democratic nominee from winning? He should be evicted from the democratic party

This is the only good that came out of Gore having the 2000 presidential election taken from him. No Leiberman as VP.

This guy is amazing. He loves Bush and Cheney. Why isn't he switched to Republican yet?

Vote Democrat in November of 4 more years of Cheney!!

Shut up Liberman and stick to checking McBush McSame 100yr War McCain's bearings, with all his mistakes he really need you to.

Obama don't know crap about how to run this Country!!!!!!!!!!!!! go back to Africa!

Lieberman an extension of Bush. McCan't keeps Lieberman close by to correct his VERY FREQUENTLY so called mis-spoken facts. McCan't doesn't know what is is talking about & has proven it each time he speaks. McCan't needs a keeper. No Country for Grumpy Old Men.

Unlike Obama, Lieberman is someone who represents true bi-partisanship and the ability to work across the aisle. The Hillary-Obama battle is reminiscent of the Lieberman-Lamont primary where all the left wingers including Daily Kos, Al Sharpton, latte liberal bloggers, etc. got behind Lamont in the primary. While they were successful in defeating Lieberman in the primary, Lamont lost the general election to an Independent Lieberman by 10 points. In the end, Lieberman had the broader appeal, similar to McCain does. Lamont won the Starbucks latte drinkers, but not the Joe lunch bucket crowd.

The general electorate is far less liberal than Democratic primary voters which is why Lamont lost in the general. Those same liberal primary voters have jeopardized the Demcrats chances of winning this year when it should be a slam dunk.

Obama can not win without core Democratic constituencies including but not limited to blue collar whites. I have a feeling history is going to repeat itself here, except that Hillary isn't running as an independent. However, moderate and conservative Democrats like me have a new choice in John McCain, and for me, that's the choice I plan to make.

Lieberman is a fraud. He is totally irrelevant and no one with half a brain respects anything he has to say. He is no more than a puppet on a string. Go hide in a geriatric ward please. We are done with your type of politicals and that disgusting, creepy grin that McCain keeps plastering on his 100-year-old face. Makes him look like a creepy child molester.

Leiberman is a disgrace to his former party. Does he think that just because he is Jewish he can speak for all of us Jews regarding Israel. He can't! I voted for him for VP and now am so glad he did not get elected. McCain deserves him

Paul Jones: Get the marbles out of your mouth. What's your point? I'm sorry if you're one or those poor Republican fools who really believes these guys are looking out for your interests.

John McCain represents the same arrogant Republican mismanagement of this country that has gone on for the last 8 years. You talk about "tax breaks" – how much of that are you getting? You've already given it back to the Bush boys in gas prices! The country is going bankrupt because of a foolhardy war no one needed. Who's coming out ahead? Cheeney and the millions his boys have made on Haliburton! Kids are being poisoned with lead paint on their toys – but McCane thinks "good people" can monitor themselves – no need for govenment oversight! Sorry, but this jig is up.

That's got nothing to do with giving McCain all the respect in the world. We can lavish all the hero's medals on him the congress has to offer. We can shake his hand and listen to his words, and thank him for his service. Then, let's please show him the door!

This man is pathetic. He is a clone of the infamous Zell Miller.

Lieberman is a traitor Democrat !!!
his opinions mean about as much as MCsames do which is next to nil
America wants to leave the status Quo behind
so take MCSame with you and go spew your war rhetoric to each other
Americans are tired of it!!!
Obama For President for peace and prosperity!!!!!!

Leiberman, you are a total joke. Who cares what you say or think? Why don't you just go away and leave the campaign to the candidates themselves. Any input from you is ridiculous and we don't care. Bye bye Lieberman. This is probably the last time you will be in the White House.

Fast forward 4 years and it will be Obama's VP disparaging the democrats for not supporting America's M.E. allies. The proofs in the pudding..

Paul Jones: I see Nasa's Phoenix robot spacecraft disturbed you when they found water on Mars!

Obama is green, and has just now started wearing a flag pin. What does Caroline Kennedy know about what the people of America want? She has stayed out of politics and the public eye until now? Was she already asked to be Obamas VP? That would explain her sudden attraction to politics. It would also explain Ted Kennedys endorsement over the wishes of the voters in his state. Obama is the presumitive nominee. Until the conventions, no one including McCain, are the nominees. the convention is when the actual votes will be given, until then anything can happen. I will wait until the convention to see the actual results. Out of three possible scenarios on popular votes, Obama is ahead in only one. He is not my nominee. If he is the actual nominee in August and that seems likely, I will at that time know how I will vote in November. I suspect I will have to vote for Hillary, by write-in

Joe Lieberman has become nothing more that a neocon sound bite. He obviously did not listen to Obama's speech at the AIPAC conference in which Obama affirmed a commitment to Israel and clarified his position of using diplomacy to achieve US goals, but keeping force available if diplomacy fails. The issues in the middle east are very complex, and the Republican strategy of reducing everything to good vs. evil has not and will not work. Guess Joe has not gotten the memo.

Making noise trying to be McSame VP? As usual Lieberman you lose.
McSame is not going to be the President .

Lieberman’s agenda is very obvious. He was very instrumental in getting the Iraq war started, and he continues his relentless pursuit in making sure that it keeps on going. It seems that this man’s mission on earth is to make sure that we always have an unstable Middle East, so the likes of Iran and Syria are always detracted for focusing on Israel… even if it meant that more American lives are lost in the process.
Pursuing peaceful means could somehow lead to an end to this madness, but Lieberman’s suspicious intent will always prevent that from happening…

Cantor's from VA, not Ohio, and they can keep him.

Paul, I just don't think that we agree that supporting Bush's war as well as his extraconstitutional illegalities is a bipartisan act. Nor is supporting McCain over Obama. He lied to his voters in 2006 in order to achieve reelection, deceiving people about his position on Iraq, too.

Note to writer: Lieberman was the 2000 VP nominee, not the 2004.

Luiberman…a political flip-flop of our time!..Dont pay attention to this outcast out of touch fellow!

Not sure what the ground rules on this section are, but Lieberman is and has always been a wanker.

I'm surprised Joe took his head out of McCain's tush long enough to make that statement. Maybe, if Joe had actually done what he was supposed to do and came through with the Jewish vote for Gore, we wouldnt have lost Florida and had 8 years of hell. Hush up Joe, and get back to carrying McCain's suitcase.

Paul Jones……….. Sounds more like the old my way or the highway politics we've enjoyed for too long already.—-NO OLD IS MCSAME AND LIBERMAN…..MCSAME NEEDS LIBERMAN IN ORDER TO CORRECT HIM …..JUST INCASE HE FORGETS WHERE HE IS -WHO HE IS -AND WHO HE IS REFERRING TO

We don't even know What is this guy? Dem or Rep ? McCain should select him as VP and for sure we'll have 2 loosers.

Raz

Lieberman was the 2000 VP nominee, not the 2004 VP. Edwards was the 2004 VP.

CT hates Lieberman.

CT resident for Obama.

Obama has won this process WITHOUT the help of Clinton. In point of fact, Hillary and her supporters threw all the kitchen sink stuff at Obama and he still won "fair" and square.

So Obama does NOT need Hillary to screw this process for him. Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea should stay away from this ticket and the White House as far as possible. This nation cannot afford to deal with any more of the past or current scandals!

If the Clinton supportes want to roll over to McCain, so be it. No DEM should beg or worship these people! Both Hillary and McCain make the same old poor judgements with their years of tauted experiences. We need to move forward (change); this election is about CHANGE, not Queen Hillary or One-eyed McCain.

Joe lieberman we know why you prefer bomb bomb Iran. But Iran won`t be another Iraq so beware of what you are doing.

Lets be real here……this guy does not have both of his oars in the water. Recently….he was running for the VP position for the Democratic party……and when that fell through he just began moving from one position to the next. Lets try being an Independent for a while, nah, that doesnt work….lets try being a Republican for a while…..in fact….lets be John McCains body guard and diction coach. Tomorrow he will be handing us a hot sack of french fries from the pick up window.

What's new about that? They voted for him not because of his experience but for the novelty of having a black President

Here we go again, another person wanting their 15 mins. of fame on someone else’s time.

It will be a McCain/Lieberman ticket this fall. Lieberman will go down in history as the first candidate to run as VP for both Democratic and Republican parties, and lose both times.

Joe … you are a Republican … I hope they save you because we won't reelect you next time….

What is up with Lieberman? Seems like he loves the limelight too much and just blabbers on and on irrelevantly! Shut up already!

John McCain, please,pretty please, pick Joe (Benedict Arnold) Lieberman for your running mate, so you can both go down in LANDSLIDE DEFEAT!!!!!

Lieberman was the Democratic Vice-Presidential nominee in 2000, not 2004. Edwards was 2004. CNN ought to correct that statement.

however let Sidious speak again?

OK Joe, are you American or Isreali, Democrat or Republican; pick one and then stand up for your own truth.

you dont have any domestic policy also.

Leiberman is a disgrace to be called Jewish, I voted for in when he ran with kerry and am so happy now that he lost

Mr. Lieberman was the VP candidate in 2000 (not 2004) and has since been kicked out of the Democratic Party. Please update your article. Thank you.

Paul,

Your point is well taken. Lieberman, McCain, and Hillary all have a history of working across the Aisle. Why do you think their parties all hate them? Liberals ran Joe Lieberman out of the party in CT.

The ironic thing is that people want our leaders to work together, but when they do, they are beat up over it.

I think that a new party needs to come about in this country. We have had 8 years on the far right, and now it looks like we will be getting 4 years on the far left.

God help us.

WHAT DOES LIEBERMAN WANT??? VP OR SECRETARY OF SOMETHING???

who???? when how??
this is no news

Lieberman is a traitor to the U.S.! He is more concerned with Isreal than America's welfare.

Paul Jones,

I couldn't agree w/ you more! I thought the Obamabots wanted bi-partinship politics? Hum, looks like NOT!

Liebermann is in love with the Iraq war and was from the start. We would take foreign policy points from him why?

Don't send Lieberman to Canada, he is YOUR problem

Shut your mouth before we turn Joe Biden alose on you loooooooserman. Ok thats it, get him Joe. We have had enough of this traitor spouting off at the mouth and no one stepping up to put him in check. Time to shut this no good traitor up. He dances with the devils.

Vote McSame ladies and its back to coat hangers on back streets. They have a hold on him to make him prove himself to be one of them that is greater than the one they have on Bush. Vote smart. Vote Obama

Senator Lieberman has no standing in American politics.

That is the problem Obama is only about rhetoric and has noting to backup his claims.
He is a great public speaker but that is all.
I sure don’t want to live in a socialist country that Obama has dreamed up for us.

Lets stop the rhetoric and the CNN show for Obama and get down to business. Lets talk numbers and find out how Obama is going to do what he says he will.
He is all about TAX, TAX and TAX. Oh and one more, Government controlling our lives.

Paul Jones

Yeah McCain and Leiberman have been on both sides, but flip flopped back as soon as it suited their own interest. HELLO!! Are we having a FLIP FLOP FEST???

Lieberman – I have one word for you…..Idiot!!!

Why is it that all of the idiots in government wont just go away?

What the hell has this joke of a senator done while in office?

What is his foreign policy experience? Trips to foreign countries?

What has he done lately except be the parrot on McCain's shoulder, filling in the answers when McCain can't remember?

GO THE HELL AWAY LIEBERMAN!!!

Get lost lieberman. You're a traitor. I'm a Jew. I support Obama and I no longer support YOU in any endeavor. You are a disgrace to our people.

Isn't it the truth Paul Jones…thanks for at least one intelligent person telling it like it is out there in blog land!!

Sometimes I wonder about the IQ of the average voter out there…they come up with some of what would be the most laughable stuff I ever read if it weren't for being downright scary. They fall lock stock and barrel for shallow glitz , glamour, youth and good looks and for the media's slant on things like candy…sad when the public is so easily led. Would be so nice if people would use their own brains for once.

Good ole Joe! Not just any Joe, but our old Joe. How wrong can a Joe be?

Why doesn't this loser shut his mouth. Nothing he says has relevance. Go somewhere please.

Hey, Leiberman…

Shouldn't you be somewhere next McCain whispering him corrections on statements he makes about foreign policy?

Look up The Real McCain on Youtube and get the video

Grown-ups? Hardly. Obama gives great speeches lacking substance. Lieberman, McCain and Clinton have proven that that they can "reach across the aisle" and regardless of what the outcome is in the general election they will continue to be effective politicians.

Senator Lieberman was the 2000 Vice Presidential Candidate for the Democratic Party, not 2004 (that was Senator Edwards). Nonetheless, Lieberman's gradual drift toward the Republican Party has been quite dramatic to watch…

Like right. This just shows that Senator Lieberman doesn't realize that the world has changed. The foreign policy that we've been following sure hasn't been working.

Lieberman Is a complete tool and nobody should listen to what he has to say. WHAT A TRAITOR!@!!!

What a joke Lieberman had become, this joker proves me wrong every time l thought of him as decent man.

Joe, keep it up and help us elect Obama!

Lieberman gets the table scraps from the Bush Administration that McCain can't bring himself to eat. Get lost, traitor. The Democratic Party tried to put this man in the White House, and this is how he repays them. What a creep.

this is the type of individual that bemoans anything anti Israel; he needs to remember he is a US senator

Ew!! Just when I thought dinosaurs were extinct, here comes this crustation (Lieberman) yammering about another crustation (John McCain). Looking at these two…the cataracs, silver hairs, and bad teeth…turn my stomach. Again, I say ew!!

On the subject of foreign policy, sitting around Washington for 20 years and making an occasional trip to another country to keep your arteries from hardening is hardly foreign policy experience in my opinion. So Lieberman and McCain, find a legitimate topic to discuss. Perhaps you may actually win an argument if you could do that.

You Obamabots are laughable. Who was that that called Lieberman a joke? Was he a joke when he was your Dem's vice presidential candidate for 2004? The word Dem stands for demagogues which you guys are. Before you go on a celebragory binge on Obama's nomination, let's think for a minute what kind of support Obama is going to have come November: not Jewish votes, not hispanic votes, not blue collar white Reagon Democrats. And you think he can beat John McCain?

Not surprising to see two Republican attack dogs smearing Obama. And yes Leaverman, you are a Republican. This irrelevant joke of a man shouldn't even be allowed to caucus with the Democrats.

Hey Carville! Here's the real Judas!

Joe should run for the Knesset because he is more concerned with Israel than he is about America.

LOL Lieberman??? Everyone to include Lieberman knows hes a puppet who will do and say anything he is told to say. C'mon.

i can't hear you sonny, could you speak up, i thought you said foreign potty.

"McCain… a 'reach across the aisle' politician who picks and chooses his/her positions based on what they think is right rather than what is PC in their party."

You need to look at John McCain's voting record: He's voted the Republican Party Line 95% of the time.

Paul:

Read the news: The US has compromised Israel's position of power in the middle east by invading iraq. Without a stable govt in Iraq and with the US military's pants around its ankles, Iran can agitate to its heart's content.

McCain and lieberman are only interested staying in power. All of their experience means nothing if they are strategic MORONS

Maybe if we hadn't shot our wad in Iraq we could make threats that carried some weight.

LIEberman is a tool. McBush's lap dog. Bring on the debates Mr. Teleprompter Reader Keating Five Scandal My Friends My Friends.
Tools, both of yous.

When you are finished trying to attack Obama, please make sure you run on over to McSame and continue to help him with his mistakes that he makes.

Obama 08

It just boggles the mind, that after all the evidence, after all the losses, Republicans still insist on fear mongering & saber rattling. And to all those who continue to insist that Obama's views and beliefs are contrary to what he states just further the notion that they can't and won't have a legitimate fight.

People grow up. Let the candidates to their job and quit polluting the airwaves with nonsense. In the end you never change anybody else's mind. Maybe it's time you change yours.

Leiberman, needs to stop trying to protect Mcain. Mcain is old enough to protect himself.

There will be plenty of time for cheap shots from the McCain camp later. Let Barack have his victory dance. He's practising his moves for when he has another in November.

I will not vote for obama in Nov.I'M WRITING IN HILLARY'S NAME.NEVER obama.

Lieberman, with strong personal ties to Israel, should not be considered a neutral voice on this issue. Iran can only be expansionist if it has somewhere to expand – and we opened up a huge hole by invading Iraq.

I am sick and tired with our infatuation with Israel…what is the big deal?? They are big boys and girls, let them take care of themselves!!! If we spent half the time and money on our own problems, we would be far better off!..yes, call me an "isolationist" the more the better!!!

Senator Lieberman, it is because of you that Democrats got the control of the senate. If you had remain independent, Democrats would not get the majority.

Not to be an editor here, but Lieberman was actually the Veep candidate for Al Gore in 2000, not 2004. John Edwards was Kerry's veep in 2004. It took 6 years after the loss for Joe to betray the Democrats when he went "Independent" in 2006, although we all know he's a McCain Republican.

Senator, your words are prophetic and undeniably true!!!

You are an amazing Senator!!!

Let's hear it for the U.S. – Israeli relationship!!!!

PAUL JONES! I AGREE WITH YOU WHEN IT COMES TO LIEBERMAN, A TRUE CENTER-ORIENTED POLITICIAN.

But give me a break bro, McCain is solidly a republican. No amount of rhetoric can change that.

GO OBAMA.

What does he mean "if Israel is in danger today it's not because of American foreign policy… "
Then why the heck is Israel still in danger after 6 years of war in Iraq? Iran grew stronger in the last 6 years. Iran has people in Iraq killing Americans, ofcourse that has emboldened them as well. What is with these people? We need to kick their sorry you know what out of our Govt.

This guy would be a nobody without the Dem party. Can someone please tell me when his seat comes up for re-election again?.

Lies– by– Man who? Please…… What more can we expect from him?
Nothing is easier than self-righteousness and self-deception. This man mistakes knowing about foreign policy for knowing foreign policy. There is a great difference between the two and this is where Lie-by-man and John Mccain fall flat.

Well, Well, what else is knew……………………. I am sure we will hear a lot more about American presidential candidates swearing to the American and Israeli's flag; because, of IAPAC lobying power.

Don't tell me Obama is "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN" sometimes I wander if Israel and USA is run by one president.

My vote is for Ron Paul, he has it right.

He did not add anything to the ticket when he run with

Al Gore.

Dem turns independent turns Repub. Next time he will deceive himself.

This democrat agrees with you Lieberman and so do million of other Democrtas.

If Obama is the nominee…..we will either write Hillary in or vote McCain.

America deserves a president that will protect her and help her grow….not throw her under the bus and support those who hate Americans.

NO OBAMA!

McCain Lieberman 08… a ticket that will hike its pants up above its waist, and never miss an Early Bird Special or an episode of Matlock.

Both of them are so out of touch with what America and the world need.

GOBAMA 08!!!!

Hey, Honest Abe! Spare us the joke, called Lieberman. He is not liked and welcomed here.

Mahalo Joe!

And, congratulations to the extreme left media and the foolish Dems who have anointed the object of their love affair. You now have a very cautious, biracial presumptive nominee who has marinated in Black Liberation Theology and racist rhetoric for decades!
Hillary is the best, and I will support whatever she decides. VP would be my last choice unless she knows something I don't?

But, if she takes it to the convention to secure Universal Health Care and/or if she secures the next Supreme Court position she will continue to serve admirably!

Joining McCain on his ticket would satisfy many of her supporters as would running as an Independent.

Anticipating Hillary's decision with hope and prayer!

Be nice Obama supporters! Hillary has all the options!

Are there any grown ups here? Lieberman (and McCain, for that matter) is in many ways what Obama claims to be but isn't: a "reach across the aisle" politician who picks and chooses his/her positions based on what they think is right rather than what is PC in their party. In Lieberman's case, on most social issues he is on the left side of his party, on most economic issues the right side, and in foreign policy – gasp – he finds himself more in agreement with the Republican party. If the Obama fans out there really believed in Obama's rhetoric of bi- and post-partisanship, they would at least respect people like McCain and Lieberman, who have been there, and done that, in terms of working across the aisle even if they disagreed with them on specifics. "Change we can believe in?" Sounds more like the old my way or the highway politics we've enjoyed for too long already.

Leiberman is a joke. How to you trust anyone's opinion on foreign policy who abandoned his own party?

One thing is for sure.. according to all the three candidates, everyone 's a terrorist other than America and Israel. With this kind of attitude(which was eveident at the AIPAC and by the way watched by the whole world), what sort of peace are Americans dreaming of acheiving. Why do they suck up to the AIPAC so much??…Do Americans even know the history of the formation of Israel and why there is resistance from different quarters. From what i know of Americans, I understand them to be reasonable, logical people. How is it hat in the entirre Palestinian-Israel issue , they act as if logic and reason hold no weight. it would help if Americans get educated about the formation of this nation which has caused so much of chaos and trouble . A realization will dawn on anyone who studies history that it is as if someone knocks on your door at your home and asks you to get out as they have been given (by some third party) the right to occupy your house. Will you not resist??.. and should you be called a terrorist if you do? Will Americans give away their state of California as the new jewish state if it ever came to that. Will they not resist? Will they not fight for it?So how is it that America so blatantly supports this injustice and how in the world can it then expect peace?

That will hurt what is left of his Democratic credentials. Lieberman apparently has had all the time in office he can muster, no one will vote for him again…..

If Israel is in heightened danger, it's because of the policies espoused by the likes of Liberman. He's been a traitor to his home, the US, to our allies like Israel, and to the Democratic party that made him a successful politician.

This again highlights the aberrations that come from all single issue politics.

Lieberman does not seem to understand foreign policy as well as I thought. Bush's diversion into Iraq has definitely caused more instability for our allies in the Middle East. Joe's allegiance with McCain/Bush on this issue unfortunately appears somewhat delusional and out of touch.

Obama has the right approach.

Dem '08

I don't really like McSame. And the Israeli issue is never going to be completely handled to anyone's true satisfaction. But Obama is target practice now. Any more 'defending your champ" is a moot point. You've had your say. Now Obama needs to stand up and defend himself…..if he really can.

Benedict Arnold! He should declare himself a Republican. He's done everything but. I think Ron is right. He's running for VP again. And he'll lose again – if McCain is foolish enough to pick him.

Lieberman is obviously running for VP. I personally, am glad to have him out of the Democratic Party. McCain, you can have Lieberman. Can we please get Chuck Hagel??

Get over yourself Joe.. What party are you this week??? Who cares what you say. McCain owes favors to a lot of people, I don't think you will be his first choice. On the other hand, putting you on the ticket would surely doom him to failure.

Ah Obama…"Friend of Israel"…..with friends like that, who needs enemies!

He needs to steer clear of the foreign policy stuff if he wants to win…he has no depth there, just "wouldn't it be nice if we were all nice" rhetoric.

Go away Joe Lieberman.

Hey Joe, you are out of touch. Depart immediately.

leiberman is your utmost fair weather politician….. a real coward top stand on his own or commit one way or the other now that he back McCain!!!!

Here is someone I want to see working at Wal-mart after next election. See how he feels when that's the only job available to this traitor.

What is he doing!!??? I mean really. Most Democrats are trying to unify their party, and he's on the other side cheering on the Republicans. Has Anyone ever seen anything like this before?! Im not mad for his position, but just switch sides, so that we dont have to hear it from Fake Democrat….

A true turncoat has spoken…

Through the collective conventional wisdom and experience of old politics, the United States has never been more out of control in the Middle East than under the Bushes, the Cheneys, the Clintons, the Liebermans and the McCains. Time for a change….

Joe Lieberman believes strongly and firmly in the best interests of Israel over the best interests of the United States. That's fine, as a Jewish person, there is a religious reason for him to believe this is necessary and he must do what he believes in accordance with his faith.

He thinks that Israel's interests are best served by the US aggressing Iraq and overstretching its military to the point where it could not confront Iran, who has much harsher rhetoric towards Israel, even if it needed to. I think he is wrong. Israel's interests are best served when America is strong enough to be able to intercede on Israel's behalf. Frankly Israel and America should be more concerned with the current energy situation. Should america's economy and military be weakened too much by lack of energy sources, Israel would find itself in a much worse situation.

Perhaps if our politicians would think about issues a bit more, we might get better solutions.

Shut up, turncoat Joe! You and McCain act as if Obama is surrendering Israel to Bin Laden, which he certainly ISN'T. Lieberman and McCain have naively accepted the lying Bush administration's take on Middle East policy, which has been a DISASTER, and all they're doing is building up the corrupt military industrial complex in the process and further damaging our credibility. Lieberman: You're paranoid, and you're dead wrong. DISGRACEFUL!!!

The only judas I have seen so far this campaign

Say it ain't so, Joe. You used to be somebody.

The article says Lieberman was the 2004 VP candidate—it was 2000. Edwards was in 2004.

people can be funny here, liebermann has to reinform americans he is no more democrat because people think he is so he can lose his seat.

Tension in the Middle East? Never! Everything is nice and peaceful over there. Its not like we invaded or started any wars in the region.

Iraq? Afghanistan? Let Saddam and the Soviets worry about them.

What? 2008? Really?

Shut up Lieberman. You have no right to speak on foreign policy at all.
Stay with McCain and correct his mistakes on Shia and Sunni differences. Good Bye

Lieberman's a pawn for Israel. Pop quiz: which Democrat most supports the Iraq War? And why would that be? And what does support for the Iraq War have to do with placating Israel?

Hillary Clinton's another pawn for Israel. That's why (after no history of supporting militaristic foreign policy) she became a supporter of preemptive war against an Arab nation. What would explain this shift in her identity. Why, it occurred right after she became a politician from New York.

That's right Joe,
ratchet up the fear mongering and xenophobia some more. Next thing ya know, Joe will be piloting that swift boat to torpedo Obama with more rumor and innuendo about the Democratic nominee being a Muslim, a terrorist sympathizer, and worst of all, a guy who doesn't wear a flag pin! I can't believe this is the same "moderate" democrat who was VP on a ticket with Gore. But Lieberman fell sway to Darth Cheney and the Dark Side, long ago….what a shocker!

Lieberman, what has happened to your brain, man?! Are you nuts?

McCain will only continue the bankrupting of our nation, we owe trillions to China.

McCain will continue this war with Iraq that has only encouraged more terrorists.

McCain will continue a war that has killed so many young people! Not to mention the thousands maimed, and the 100's that each month commit suicide!

Is this how we want our nation to be?

Canada dosen't want him either!

Lieberman, Traitorman, Failureman. They all sound the same. You sound hollow and wounded. Your days are numbered in Conn. and your political revelance in a democratic-controlled government is doomed.

Bye to irrelevaman.

That just doesn't make any sense. The US replaced an undesirable yet stable Iraq – a bulwark against Iranian regional ambitions – with the unstable land of terror we've been reading about for years now. Iraq is far more easily influenced by Iran since the US invasion.

You're going to have to try harder, Joe.

Hey Joe, have you joined the Republican party yet? If not, why not…..

Poor Lieberman!

OH WOW…..what bitterness from the left!

Finally a dem/independent with some brains……….I would like to say thank you to all you dems who voted for Bill Clinton and for all the terror attacks (5) that had happened on his watch and that were planned on his watch(9/11). I forgot to mention the awesome job he did handling Somalia as well.

It seems to me Bush only had one and that was planned and ready to go on Clintons watch

Here we go again

not worth a comment

Mr.Lieberman if you bring money, troops,and resources to a country then
you strengthen that country. When you build or rebuild another country
the give the lives of your country,then you weaken your country. Willl you
address the import problem of the current administration. How about
the low wages in parts of Kentucky or other states. You are making a
comment, but what about Now!

The heat is on, even RATS are speaking out.

It is clear that Lieberman is a sell out to the Democratic Party, thus the reason he had to run as an Independent to return to a Senate seat. It is understandable why he and McFlip Flop get along- – songbirds of a feather. . .

It is unfortunate has so many favors owed to the Republicans for helping him getting elected in his last campaign, but that is the path he chose.

The Democrats need to oust his keadership position so the Republicans dcan fully embrace him, just as he has fully embraced their pandering rhetoric.

Mr. Liberman you are pitiful- – enjoy this time in the limelight as it, you, McFlipFlop and the Republican Party are about to be part of the America's history we will be glad is past.

wow, he's still up and kicing?

Look at this guy.. he is like a rotten tomato.
Go Away
OBAMA (2008 -16)

What a shameful and dishonest person, he has become.
I agree with someone earlier that he should run as REP next time, then he might know how good he is as a politician.
PPL like him always remain traitor to the country.

Man, this guy is horrible. What was Gore thinking? What was Connecticut thinking? He must not be re-elected.

Let's see Lieberman you do know what you're talking about. BUT I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU ABOUT OBAMA. WHAT FOREIGN POLICY?

Hillary run as an Independent. Are Hillary supporters vote for JOHN McCAIN.

A blind man could see that Iraq has created more danger to Israel than almost anything else. Even Israel talks to its enemys… and you expect us to sit tight and point a gun at them from 200 miles away.

"If you move I'll shoot" is not foreign policy… its just plain stupid.

Iran knows we can destroy if we need too… why must we scream that from the mountain tops. How is our rethoric against Iran different from Irans rethoric against Israel. Right now we are just threathening to blow each other up.

By the way… between Iran and US. US has been the only counrty to make good on the threat to blow ANYTHING or anyone up…

Lieberman is an interesting character. I think these are starting to be some good times politically. We have Zell Miller and Lieberman who have basically swapped sides. We have Arlen Spector and Chuck Hagel who have loosened up quite a bit. Maybe we are starting to move away from this ridiculous all-or-nothing, 2 party political nightmare we find ourselves in.

My only beef with Lieberman is this (besides that fact that I disagree with him on foreign policy and think he is a moron). To some degree, I don't have any problem with him buddying up with John McCain and saying the things he does because he is, in fact, an independent. But he's not really an independent by choice. He TRIED to run as a Democrat. He wanted to be a Democrat. The only reason he's not a Democrat is because he lost the Democratic primary. If you want to be a Democrat, then you shouldn't endorse the Republican candidate for President, whether you agree with the Democratic party on all of the issues or not.

Joe, we knew you didn't want to stand with us before you did. Have fun being a man without a home…because as much as Republicans love to tout you around as some feather in their cap, the minute you came out in support of gay rights they'd burn your little body at the stake.

John McCain and the Republicans are who we Democratics think they are and Joe Lieberman is one of them therefore we will not let them off the Hook This Time.

Oh, and its okay that you had to McCain from a fist fight with the German president? Talk about great foreign policy. If Obama's foreign policy is so horrible, why is it that an overwhelming amount of our allies want him as president because he will change our foreign policy? It is sad how America is viewed. Look at Myanmar! They are so afraid that we are going to steal their oil that they will not even let us to come their shores to distribute food. Mexico can not even trust us to let troops come to their borders to fight the illegal immigrants. We are so mistrusted by the rest of the world after Bush's lies. We need a different take on foreign relations, and believe me McCain will be no different.

Dear Honest Abe, I am from Canada and believe me, we don't want him. He's your problem..:)

As an resident of Connecticut I am saddened that this man is my Senator. I am going to work hard to get him booted out when his term is up. He is a Republican in hiding, he's no Independant.

what a joke. Please, run again and see if you will win. Same old…

Lieberman wouldn't be happy in Canada. Up here party leaders expel members who vote against the party or loudly voice opinions opposed to the party platform. To get their voices heard, they have to be invited to join another party. Otherwise, they sit in parliament as silent, lame ducks. I hope the dems dump him asap.

It's amazing how pro Obama comments get readily posted, while the negative ones await moderation.

what does Looserman have to say

David – NYC said it best. he's toast in Connecticut and looking for a job. It's pretty sad to witness.

Shot-up fool

Washington and Jefferson urged "entangling alliances with none." John Quincy Adams stated that America should be viewed as a country that "has abstained from interference in the concerns of others, even when the conflict has been for principles to which she clings as to the last vital drop that visits the heart."
Could Lieberman ever follow this advice in regards to Isreal? Our national defense involves one thing, the defense of our nation. Where do Lieberman's allegiances lie? He is anti-American, and so is almost everyone else in Washington who does not follow a foreign policy of freedom. George Bush once sarcastically asked if "we're going to have kind of a 'nation-building corps from America. Both himself and anti-Americans like Rice and Lieberman have answered that question. It is definitively yes. That is exactly what we have come to.

Honest Abe, we don't want him up here, Mexico perhaps.

Have you no decency…?

Joe Flip, John Flop

Turtle is too far advanced on the evolutionary chain. Let's try something more his range, A single-celled amoeba with no soul sounds more appropriate. And no he is not a Democrat!

This dude is nuts. A lap boy for McSame.

I suppose even crazy people can have opinions…

When I realize this man is my Senator from CT I hang my head in shame. Goodness Joe, just go ahead and switch to the Repugs party and get it over with. When it comes to foreign policy, you and McNutso make a wonderful dymanic duo of incompetence.

Lieberman better try to help McCain remeber his lines. LMAO

Shut up, Lieberman. You have no credibility.

Hey whats that smell? Oh that Joe Lieberman. Go back in your hole, troll.

I understand that Israel is our ally, but, if the Republicans and the rest of the politicians cared about the American people that much maybe we wouldn't be so angry at politicians right now. They are really trying to make Israel the center for this election. They can't run on the war, economy, or the debt so they have to find something to be the focus. My question is this, why is Israel not over in Iraq helping us since we are giving them billions of dollars annually. And I am not trying to be mean but come on let's be real. This is not an issue that we have to give all our focus too. Israel is not going anywhere. They have the best army that my tax dollars can pay for.

Same old politics !!! which have costed over 4,000 lost lives in Iraq! we can count the lost lives but what about the pain, anguish the families of the deceased go through ! shame on you Lieberman!

It's too bad that the party of JFK, FDR, Scoop Jackson, Truman, Gore, and Lieberman, all stalwart defenders of global liberty and strong responders to tyranny and aggression, has now been co-opted by the far left and MoveOn crowd.

As a once-proud Democrat, I can say that for the last five year, the Democratic party has been poorly -advised in their foreign policy choices, practicing partisan politics over national security needs. McCain certainly has my vote, and I will work to see the present Democratic platform exposed and ridiculed. Bring back the grown-ups.

"On the first day of the general election campaign, the very first Republican conference call attacking presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama featured his party's 2004 vice presidential nominee, Sen. Joe Lieberman."

Don't you mean 2000 vice presidential nominee?? 2004 was John Edwards

I would like to ask all those out there who keep bringing up the subject that Barak Obama does not have the experience to be electable come November.
Where would they be today if after graduating, with degrees in hand and being interviewed, they were told that they do not have any experience?
Furthermore, what else does John McCain know about other than going to war and spending time in captivity.
Does Mr Obama have to spend time in the enemy prison and tortured to qualify?
Get off the "pot" Lieberman and others, (you know who you are)
John McCain is asking for free media coverage by asking Mr Obama to engage inTownhall meetings. Hope Mr Obama does not fall for his shenanigans.
Seems McCain wants to have topics to campaign on besides his service in the military. Mr. Obama already commended you on your service.
Suggestion,,,,,Maybe the only way for McCain to win over Obama is to have Hillary Clinton as his running mate. He already has her supporters who proclaim they would not vote for Obama. You have seen them parade for the media. (Would not waste words on them here). But, good luck to them. Hope they would have the courage to refuse the benefits when Mr Obama is in the White House.

BUSH'S IRAQ POLICIES UNDER RUMSFELD WERE THE FAILURE. SINCE HE WAS FIRED, GENERAL PATREAUS AND ROBERT GATES HAVE IRAQ SLOWLY ON TRACK. THE BLAME AMERICA FIRST LIBERALS DONT WANT US TO KNOW THIS. THEY ARE PRECONCIEVED TO DEFEAT ..ALLFOR POLITICAL GAIN AND SECURING MORE WELFARE. IT IS CHRYSTAL CLEAR WHY LENIN WROTE LONG AGO THAT "WESTERN SOCIALISTS WERE HIS USEFUL IDIOTS"

The only Dem with a brain.

Editorial note: Lieberman was the 2000 VP nominee. Edwards was in 2004.

Sen Joe Leiberman knows very well what he is talking about, the JR. Sen Obama has not even served a full term in office, from where does he draw any knowledge of complex Middle East / foreign policy , part of understanding the very basic fact that you can't negotiate in any rational means and terms with fanatical terrorists , there is no logic from which to discuss and negotiate a practicle solution for the saftey and security in the very complex Middle East, with a raving loonatic that wants to destroy Israel and bring down America, great ,now comes the general election , it's easy to fool many by way of articulation and confusing the issues, but the proof will be that Obama would not even benefit from a crash course given by the experts on the ground in Iraq, much less a first hand view with our brave troops fighting this war , send him to the Middle East , the hard part is the action , and in this ,he has no proof of action only talk.

Maritza

who is liberman?? Another fool who needs attention??

Honest Abe, why should Lie—berman come to Canada? We don't need traitors and flip floppers here. Thank you very much.

Obama 08

Joe Lieberman, the Paris Hilton of the Congress! Never met a camera he didn't like, then when in front of it has nothing intelligent to say!

Pretty sure Sen Lieberman was the vice presidential nominee in 2000 than 2004. I know this is just a blog, but I'm not commenting on the article but the state of journalism. Say anything, write anything for ratings.

A McCain-Leibermann Ticket would be perfect for the Republicans.

Unfortunately, I beleive Leibermann has already stated he is not interested.

" My favorite Martian" and Donnatello for President, boy bye!!!! Neither of you fit in the Equation!!!!

"It's not because of what we’ve done in Iraq, it’s because Iran is a fanatical terrorist expansionist state."

-someone should tell them how flawed this argument is…Iran is fanatical and our presence in Iraq IS what's strengthening them…Iraq was Iran's counterbalance and now Iran is having diplomatic ties with them as the Iranian President visits the Iraqi Prime Minister. Ridding of Saddam has allowed Iran's influence to grow over Iraq.

McLieberman should save his breath for whispering in John's ear when he makes yet another gaffe regarding Iraq.

Why anyone would trust Lieberman and McCain to fix Iraq is beyond comprehension–they have already shown their incompetence by supporting an unnecessary war that has killed 4,000 soldiers and 100,000 civilians, created 2,000,000 refugees and cost the taxpayers
$600,000,000,000. What possible credibility do they have?

"Senator Obama argued today that American foreign policy in recent years has essentially sort of strengthened Iran…. If Israel is in danger today… it’s because Iran is a fanatical terrorist expansionist state."

I'm not sure that an unsound, circular agrument really qualifies as an 'attack' against Obama.

Lieberman was the Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee in 2000, not in 2004. Does anyone at CNN proofread these ticker entries?

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't Lieberman the vice presidential candidate in 2000 and not 2004? '04 was Kerry/Edwards.

FACT: IRAN HAS NEVER ATTACKED OR INVADED ANYONE. THIS IS A PRIMARY REASON WHY WE CAN TALK TO IRAN WHICH WILL KEEP ISRAEL OUT OF HARMS WAY. WHY IS JOHN MCCAIN, LIEBERMAN, BUSH AND SO MANY REPUBLICANS SO AFRAID OF MAKING PEACE BY TALKING WORK INSTEAD OF BOMBING. ARE THEY AFRAID OBAMA IS CORRECT?

Lieberman was not the Democrats' "2004 vice presidential nominee," he was the VP on Gore's ticket in 2000. Strangely, had Gore won that contest, Lieberman might very well be the Democrats' nominee for President this year. What a thought.

Perhaps as the "Senator from the State of Israel", Mr. Lieberman should listen to the amazing speech that Obama delivered to AIPAC members this morning rather than spewing his war-mongering.

Yeah, traitor with VP aspirations.
McCain/Lieberman? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH…

So, Mr. Lieberman is joining Ms. Ferraro in coming out of darkness with their fangs in full glory…. please, stay where you were. You had your chance already…both of you. At least Ms. Ferraro has not been as blatantly manipulative as Mr. Lieberman….at least she is still a Democrat….

You still think it's Clinton who's destroying the democratic party? At least she has a voting record that's consistent with her party's stances. Lieberman, on the other hand, is more neoconservative than even the average republican…

Come on Joe, just like McCain states that he is tired of hearing Obama saying he is running a for a 3rd Bush term……… I am tired of hearing that Obama is so weak on foreign policy that he cannot become the next President of the United States. If the current Bush was able to get elected twice then Obama definitely has more than a fighting chance!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08′

WQhen is this coward going to remove the sheeps clothing, come out of the closet and declare himself as a REPUBLICAN?

Lieberman has to be one of the biggest hypocrites in the Congress in the last decade.

Enough Already Joey Boy, you are as transparent as Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice and all the other stooges.

Come on out into the sunshine!

I wonder how all those "independant" minded people from Conneticut feel about uncle joe now-a-days….

they stood by him after her LOST the Dem senatorial primary…

he caucases with the Democratic party as an Independant (which currently allows them the majority in the senate)…

HE HAS "SHANKED" the party and his loyal constituents in the back!

And when the dems gain MORE senate seats… he will have outstayed his usefulness.

Lieberman is a traiter to the democratic party. His alligiance is to Israel and not the United States of America.

I hate Lieberman but I hate Obama more. GO McCain!!!

I guess Joe is getting some attention. The last time he was seen was when he was desperately trying to get his confused buddy John to get it right in where Shia and Sunni live in Iraq and whether Al qaeda was Sunni or shia. America should do what is in its best interest and America should come first in American foreign policy. Uno numero. Israel is an important ally and its survival is of paramount importance to the USA but under US terms and not at the cost of the US becoming an enemy of a country that Israel has not yet made peace with.

Hey, It's not his "Turn" yet!!!! Wait til he's in office, 8 years…….You're jumping the gun, here……………………

LIEBERMAN!!!! What can I say???? I just don't get him. Obviously, neither did the Democratic party. Go back to Connecticut and do something, but please, sir, just…SHUUUUUTTTTTTIIIIIITTTTTTUP!!!!!!!!!! Nobody wants to hear a word out of your mouth.

I JUST WANT TO MEET THE PEOPLE THAT VOTE

FOR LIEBERSTUPID. I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW THAT

ACUALY WORKS.

Correction to the article: Lieberman was not on the 2004 Democratic ticket, he was Gore's running mate in 2000. It was Kerry/Edwards in 2004.

Leiberman is a turn coat scumbag with zero credibility.

You people protect Obama like you feel sorry for him having to answer questions and attacks. Well get ready because it is about to start big time. I hope some of you don't take to your beds ill.

McCain + Lieberman = Heroes

Who cares what lieberman thinks. He's an idiot.

Politics as ususal. The old fear change. Instead…they should be proud because it is only through their mistakes that the path becomes obvious. Thanks for showing us the way. Whatever Joe says…take the opposite path and you will be better off. Simple isn't it?

Please. No one cares what you are saying. Stop trying to involve your big nose in the business of important people. Don't think I haven't noticed you butlering around McCrap in the background of every news/photo op. All you are doing is holding his umbrella while he craps on the nation.

Go away traitor!

Skyjuice

Just yanking your chain!!!!!!!!!!

Skyjuice June 4th, 2008 2:11 pm ET

Booooooooooo…Boooooooooooo. to that ol' flip flopper. His words dont count.

First votes don't count , now words don't count.

What is next to be discarded ?

RON has summed up my feelings very well: A wanna-be veep for McCain. He brings "youth" to the ticket. Take him, Republicans…….Take him, please.

It makes me sick that I once supported Lieberman for VP in 2000. I cant stand him now. He is Judas in my book!

Joe, you need to move to Israel and serve in their Military, since
you avoided Military service in the 60's here in the USA.

Lieberman sickens me. I just wrote to Nancy Pelosi asking her to prevent him from caucusing with the Democrats if she can. I hope he gets unseated, I swear. He's out of control.

Furthermore, in reference to the other guy's remarks– last time I checked the candidate's commitment was supposed to be… USA first, alliances second?

John McCain is George Bush
Lieberman is Cheney

There is no difference, probably worse……………..

we are Americans, America and Isreal are different countries with different interest. Our Interest in America is to protect our country. Not to fight for another countries problem. Isreal is stronger than Iran, Iraqi all the middle eastern countries. So why would our soliders die for a war thats not ours. Why America…………Isreal needs to deal with its own problem.

Joe…c'mon dawg…

Ain't nobody ask you for your opinion and even if they did do you really think anyone would give a *bleep*?

Sit down Joe and be quiet before you hurt yourself.

Lieberman's head is so far up McCains xo#, he can't see straight. He was one that originally thought this war was good idea along with McCain. It is just a bunch of older generation politicians working the same ole politics. The world of politics has changed time for new.

This guy is a sell-out to the party he supposedly represents, but more importantly to the American people.

Hahaha… How's this guy relevant?

Next…

Go home, Joe. Spend some more time educating McCain on the basics of Arab ethic groups so you won't have to keep accompanying him on his trips and whispering corrections in his ear!!

Seven trips to Iraq and McCain still doesn't know the difference between a Sunni and a Shiite. Wonderful!! THAT'S EXPERIENCE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN !! WOW.

I thought Lieberman is an Independent teleprompter who wispers when McCain errs? Was Joe a Democrat 2 years ago? It looks like he will become VEEP for McCain since they have a weird platform.

Hi Benedict Ar- I mean Joe. Have you actually met the denizens of Iran before you basically called the whole country a pot of fanatics? You realize their idiot Prez isn't even popular w/ them? Most of them rather worry about how to afford groceries, or how to fix their infrastructure.

Joe, if we don't talk to anyone in Iran, then how do you expect the situation to improve? What's your solution to the dilenma?

And yes, America has even talked to it's 'enemies' in the past; you could ask Nixon or FDR about that if they were still alive. Do what's right for the situation at hand, not because it's something that may or may not have worked in the past.

Just become a Republican already!

What a jerk you are Lieberman!!! Why do you not just change over to the RP since that is really what you are.. You are the reason that Kerry lost, who needs you around good bye, go keep McClain company.. Losers attract Losers!

MR LIEBERMAN GO AWAY AND TAKE GRANDPA MCBUSH WITH YOU…AND MAKE SURE YOU GIVE MCBUSH LESSONS TO DEBATE OBAMA WITH A TELEPROMPTER….MCCAIN IS SO UN-INSPIRING…HIS SPEECHES ARE DULL AND YOU CAN TELL HE IS READING EVERY WORD…

OBAMA!!!!

Lieberman go away. You're a nobody now and can not be taken seriously.

You can have him – we will take Chuck Hagel for support…..thanks!

He is a joke!!! Not to mention a sore loser!!!! He is walking around behind McCain like he is looking for some. He has no room to attack anyone.

"featured his party's 2004 vice presidential nominee, Sen. Joe Lieberman."
Wasn't Edwards the vice presidential nominee in 2004?? Quality reporting guys!

To Honest Abe
We do not want him in Canada

Lieberman = looser even had to change parties. Crawl back in your shell, no one really cares what you think, you do not represent change. That is why someone like an Obama is going to win the White House because old time government does not get the vote of the youth of the US..

Your article refers to Lieberman as the 2004 Democrat vice presidential nominee. Actually that was John Edwards. Sen Lieberman ran as veep in 2000.

not to be pedantic, but Lieberman was the VP nominee in 2000, not 2004. Though I do understand how easy it is to forget that John Edwards exists.

WHAT A JOKE. GO HOME DUDE GET A LIFE.

Hey loserman, GO LIVE in ISRAEL. Americans live in the USA.

lieberRAT, you need to shut up. nobody wants to see or hear from you.
don't forget how you got into office. what was Al Gore thinking when he
choose you as running mate.?

Bush Mcshame Policies is not working it is hurting this Country We as American are angrier than we have ever been it is because the War in Iraq that Mcbush want to continue that is what is hurting this Country Republicans you time is Up we Con't want you in this Country you all should be brought up on charges of war crimes.

Sen. Lieberman was the Democrats' VP nominee in 2000, not 2004. Sen. Edwards was their VP nominee in 2004.

Lieberman you are such a suckup! Just go away. Who cares what you think.

It's going to be fun watching Obama debate these so called Experienced politicians in the upcoming months. I bet he comes out on top.

Lieberman and Cantor, Obama's first commitment is to The United States of America, not Israel, nor the Vatican, nor a group of self serving politicians. Although it's of the utmost importance to show solidarity with threatened countries, Israel is only one of many nations faced with vital problems. It's survival is of the highest priority to the U.S., but you would judge a future president only by what your perception allows you to evaluate. Have you given thought to what we could do for other nations in jeopardy. Not only Israel has suffered the attacks of radical terrorists. Many other nations have also suffered in the name of the Israeli state.

Barrack Obama wants to change things….he wants to raise your taxes, he wants to legitimize a terrorist state (Iran), and he wants to withdraw the troops from Iraq so we can pay $10 per gallon of gas and leave Iraq defenseless and vulnerable.

That doesn't sound like good change to me.

does anyone care what Lie-berman has to say??

This hopefully points out to Obama the importance of wisely selecting a Vice President.

Since it is said "Behind every cloud there is a silver lining" maybe this indicates the silver lining in Gore losing in 04! But 4 more years of Bush was a very big cloud over this Country.

I hope McCain picks Lieberman as his VP. Then history will be made again- Lieberman selected as VP by 2 different parties and LOST both times.

Booooooooooo…Boooooooooooo. to that ol' flip flopper. His words dont count.

Lieberman is a complete joke – just a talking point grunt for the Right Wing….he needs McCain to win because he's certainly not getting re-elected in Connecticut…they're ready to run that guy out of the state.

Obama 2008 !!!!

I hope McShame picks this leuprachaun-traitor as his Veep. It will go downhill for the Reps after that smart move.

Obama 08

Hello Traitor Liberman, how was the Hagee convention?

Lieberman you snake Obama is talking about How before we came to the Region and Outed Sadaam Hussein they were sacred to opperate in Iraq and would not cross the border but now they are free to do it because we Took down there enemy for them and this is the truth because Sadaam is dead now Iran can roam free without any Interuptions thanks to Mcsame and Bush!

Judas.

He'll be gone in two years anyways. I dont think they voted a republican into office.

He reeeeally wants to be a VP.

What wonderful good Lieberman did for Al Gore…he still does for Obama now! Better we should get a landslide of new Democratic Senators this fall, keyn ayn-hara. Poi! Poi!

Senator Lieberman's loyalties are to Israel first and foremost

He's my senator from Connecticut, and I'm pretty sure he wants the VP job because he knows he's out of a job when his term is up!

LIEBERMAN is smart enough to realize that being a hard nose Democrat or a hard nose Republican gets NOTHING accomplished. We need more middle of the road politicans to work together and compromise to solve problems.

McCain and Lieberman are toward the middle enough to get things done.

Barrak Obama is a joke. Change?? Can he elaborate??

The biggest Judas of the democratic party. Lieberman was all willing to take the power of VP as a democrat, but when that didn't happen, his true colors came out.

I think that he should just "come out" as a Republican…and anything esle he needs to be truthful about.

WOW, I'm a Republican, proud AMERICAN who supports Barrack Obama. I get it now, we Republican should go and be nasty and get nothing done. I have worked in Foreign Service and can tell you, when we get a President who acts without reason we always fail. Please enough already stop Patronizing Israel, I am a friend to Israel but will state that Israel should show a little more patience with Diplomacy instead of playing to these reckless responses that have not worked for so long. Like Reagan said let us break down that WALL, the wall of stupidity and engage our Enemies because this day is bringing about worst killers than before because of poverty and the sanctions that creates it (poverty), hence look at what’s happening with America and the Economy. We have to understand that its not about Barrack Obama or McCain its about the American People and when you get that in your heads you will Know that WE are the friends to Israel and not the President he just caries our dedication to freedom as we know it. WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES want you politicians to realize that you are all about to be either voted out or limited in your ability to LIE, STEAL OR CHEAT us with this non-sense. WE THE PEOPLE GAVE LIBERMAN a chance to compete as we did Barrack OBAMA and McCain the born in Spanish Central America on an American Base candidate. AGAIN, enough already stop Patronizing Israel. GOD PROTECTS THE CHILDREN OF ISREAL NOT THE United States of America-

Doesn't it seem strange that a test for an american president is swearing an oath to a foriegn country?

My president will be looking after MY children and MY country…

Hopefully, more of the public figures this out, then maybe one of these guys will figure it out as well…

Lieberman has long been part of the "third column," he is an Likud agent and doesn't really hide it, but the fact that so many are willing to join up, is scarry…

Shut up Joe. You are a further extension of bush -McBush-BushLieberman. We are going to have OBAMA as our next President of the United States! No more lying Republicans, no more War Mongers!

Did these Republicans actually listen to Obama's speech? Are they incapable of understanding thoughtful discussion?

Considering Mr. Liberman is less concerned with America's interests and more concerned with Israel's I think maybe his judgment should be in question.

This moderate Dem says, Go Joe!

After how the Democrats treated Lieberman in 2006, we're lucky he even caucuses with us. He could easily caucus with the Republicans and throw control of the Senate back their way.

John McCain's translator should shut up. Seeing that VP nod on another losing ticket slipping away Mr. Lieberman.

There is no correct agreed upon approach to help protect and support Isreal. If you went to the Israeli Keneset, you would get several different views of what the United States role should be. Some who agree with McCain and some who agree with Obama, and some who differ with both.

You Liberman need to be quite and sign up for the VP spot so that the Two Grumpy Old Men can be defeated and placed in a retirement center like the two characters in the movie.

McCain/Liberman – OH, Never

Dear Joe…
You have no place in American politics any more. Go to the state of Israel and get elected over there. That is where your heart, mind and soul really is. Just GO AWAY!

He just wants to be loved by somebody! Democrats wouldn't take him, so he's trying on the Republican shoes.

Well go Joe! We don't want you biting the hand that feeds you.

Take your failed policies and opinions with you.

Hey Joe catch a flight out of here please…you are a waste of time. you are just jealous that the country did not want you when you ran, so you RAN!!!

If the Democrats don't take this idiot's chairmanships away from him they might as well join the GOP with him. I've never seen a slimier character. On the other hand, he has provided great material for future Obama ads. I for one will never get tired of watching Joe whisper the difference between Shiites and Sunnis in McCain's ear.

Joe…you're just a scambug and back-stabber. First, you tried to cause division within the democratic party when you tried to run as "independant"…which it really meant, republican- in heart….and that attempt failed miserably.
Now, you want to reveal your true identity that you're in fact a republican slave. Keep kissing the bottoms and you'll be a good definition of "opportunest" and "LOSER"

Did I hear somnolent mumbling and rambling on? Ahhh, yes, a second to third rate presidential wanna-be thinking he's relevant. It's almost endearing.

who cares about this turn coat !!!
Just another war monger no one gives a care what another war mongers opinion is!!!
onward and forward to Peace and Prosperity!!!!!!
Obama08

What ever Lie–man

This article is inaccurate. Sen. Lieberman was the vice presidential nominee in 2000, not 2004 as the article states. Sen. John Edwards was the nominee in 2004. What a terrible embarasment for CNN this is. In any event, Lieberman is going to be sorry when Obama crushes McCain in November.

Senator Lieberman is a man of courage and conviction. He and Senator McCain have actually brought Democrats and Republicans together in Washington, unlike, Barack Obama who talks and uniting people but has the most liberal voting record in the United States Sentate.

Lieberman is an idiot

Let him be with the Republican Party. We will be more than happy to make those inroads that he would bring.

WHO CARES WHAT THIS LOSER THINKS,

EVEN IF HE CAN DO THAT TO BEGIN WITH.

I ask this in hopes of getting an answer and not to stir the pot:

where does the idea that Obama does not support Israel, or doesn't support it enough, come from?

Everyone likes to say he's this (sexist, arrogant) or he isn't that (patriotic), but they never give any examples.

Lieberman is a true turncoat.

Lieberman is right, Obama keeps using the word "change" and "yes we can" but what he doesn't say is "How we can". He just doesn't get it, talking is what got him where he is but I am not at all sure he knows what he is talking about. If it were not for his advisors, he would be lost, they won't be there to help him with town hall meetings, lets see how well he handles that, we all know how he did with debates with Clinton. What he does say clearly is and uh and and uh.

Go sit down somewhere! Who are you anyway?

TRAITOR

Fear, fear, fear, blah, blah, blah…just give it a rest.

LEADERSHIP WE CANT BELIEVE IN!

No, actually the reason Lieberman is still in the Senate is because he's been an outstandiong legislator for as long as he'sa been there. He offers sound judgement and a level-headed approach, and he refuses to kowtow to partisanship, be it democratic or republican.

Dope:
is he smokin' it, is one, or both?

Iran is "expansionist"? Aren't we the ones occupying their neighbor?

The Current Foreign Policies Are Failures And You Know It! Are You Really Expecting People To Vote For More Of The Same? Thats Not Leadership We Can Believe In!

Hey, the turtle has come out of his shell! Lieberman needs to move to Canada!

wah wah wah israel.

You know, as an AMERICAN politician, maybe you should focus on doing what is right for AMERICA? you know?

taitor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! I knew Emperor Palpatine was a scumbag who's never had America's best interests in mind, but I didn't know he was a full-fledged idiot! Only those EXTREMELY lacking in intellect think that our actions in the Mideast have improved the situation.

Lieberman is a warmonger who doesn't care whether America comes out better or worse off from any engagement.

Dave W.

Check your recent history. Leiberman won as an independent. Everyone in Connecticut knew that. They rejected the liberal democrat of the likes that now stands as the nominee.

Is Lieberman actually serious?! Our countries complete lack of having any sort of diplomacy in our foreign policy is the problem. But of course politicians like McCain and Lieberman are pandering to extremists in the GOP and israel who only care to use force, expending human lives rather than expending an ounce of intellegence.

Tell him Lieberman because he knows NOTHING about foreign policy.

Joe will be booted out of his leadership position once we get a better grip on the Senate. What a loser!

and tell your buddy mc c, they are not sunny-like in Florida, they are sunis

Lieberman is a scum and a traitor. How could anyone who opposed Bush (he ran in 2004 as well as 2000) in their right minds go for McCain? He may as well join the Republican party, I never liked him that much as a Democrat either.

john mccain is deaf to the people of america when it come to whether or not americans have a say in the war even though he says he answers to the people not the press,..and also.the press is a important part of the community..its people reporting to people whats going on in their world…john mccain measure the success in in iraq by combative strength not by political independence..john mccain trys to shadow his major role he has played in the bush administration with small talk..

Lieberman is a free thinker. He doesn't bandwagon. Gotta respect him for abandoning the far left controlled democratic party to take a more moderate position. People like him really make me respect parts of the democrats. Moderates are uniters not wingnuts. The single mindedness of democrats is scary. Abandon Iraq (even though we are finally making progress–yes political progress and security) and focus on 7 year old information telling us that Osama bin laden is still in Afghanistan. Okayyyy? Oh and don't forget "This war has not made us safer." Really? I haven't heard of any terrorist attacks on us since 9/11. Hyper-liberl democrats are just power hungry is all.

Why foreign policy? What about the mess a home. The USA, we're in trouble. George Bush has destroyed this country with this unnecessary war killing over 4000 men & women. The sad part is not taking care of the families left behind after their death. Who cares what Lieberman Thinks?

Mr. Lieberman is a closet Republican. It's time he came out!

Liberman is a friggin' houseboy for the GOP. He is anything but Independent. What a joke.

So What Your Saying Is Voting For Mccain Is Voting For Another Bush Term Right?

Al Gore should have never chosen him as his running mate. The laws of political physics behind the theory of Joe-mentum proved to be a disaster.

Lieberman is a traitor and should keep his mouth shut. What will he say when President Obama bring peace to the middle east, create a Palestinian State, Bring Democracy to Cuba, Bring both Iran and North Korea to give up their nuclear and put Bin Laden behind bars. More history his in the making…………..The only way to peace is to sit with your enemy and reason. Mcsane, please take a leaf out of the young man book.

??? THE TRAITOR LIEBERMAN, THE GUY WHO SOLD OUT GORE….. THE GUY WHO CORRECTS MCCAIN ON THE MIDDLE EAST??? UH

HE IS SOO IRRELEVANT..

SIMPLY IGNORE THIS HAS_BEEN..

JoeLieberman needs to just go on and join the Republican Party. AfternNov. the Dems won'tneed him.

here we go again. Obama's beasts are on the hunt again. Now the prey is McCain. It was Hillary, now him. They are scrupless, merciless, undignified beasts. Just read the blogs.

Right, Lieberman. Our Iraq War didn't destabilize the region and give Iran tremendous political and military leverage that they never would have dreamed of if Saddam was still in power.

Whether or not Iraq is better off now or under Saddam is a matter of debate. But there is absolutely no question that Bush and Lieberman's neocon foreign policy has directly lead to Iran's empowerment. Stop deluding yourself.

And CNN, it was 2000, not 2004.

Lieberman is a disaster, plain and simple.

I hope this is not the Lieberman folks have suggested as a VP for Obama….NOT!

I thought these politicians were running for a United States of America political office. Since when is it a requirement that one has to commit to Israel? How about it politicians, pledge your allegiance to the USA!

"… presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama featured his party's 2004 vice presidential nominee, Sen. Joe Lieberman."

I thought John Edwards was the Dems 2004 VP nominee… Thanks for setting me straight, CNN!

Does this guy hate all people, or just Americans? I can't imagine how this guy is even vaguely relevant at all; his quote about supporting Israel is like saying that we can't blame Lindsay Lohan on her mom at all, because her mom supports her. He doesn't even addressed whether American policy towards the middle east has strengthened Iran. What's he going to say directly to that? "If we stay the course, Iran, who started making nuclear weapons under my foreign policy, won't continue to do so if we stay the course." I see the Iran issue "turning the corner" real quick under the "same old, same old" policy of Lieberman.

he is right.

Was he listening to the same speech? Talk about spin and fear tatics!

Macbush and his team are scared. Look at them coming out rushing after only yesterday……

Lieberman attacks Obama over foriegn policy?

Republican Strategy

A. Incite fear.

Could not win as a Dem, so switched to independent. Sounds like another sore loser to me trying to jump on a winning platform. Looks likes he missed again.

What a spineless traitor.

Who cares…he is really on an Island…I only wish he were literally on an Island somewhere far from here.

You know Joe Liberman needs to grow up. He's still sore because he felt the Connecticut Democratic Party abandoned him during his last Senatorial race. He lost that States Democratic nomination and successfully won as an independent, so let by gones be by gones and come back into the fold. Your revenge mongering is so juvenille.

Ah Judas is coming out of the woodwork again. He should concentrate on McCain and reminding him of the difference between Sunnis and Shiites.

Lieberman is such a joke. The only reason anyone even knows his name is because of Al Gore's ill-founded belief that Joe could deliver the Jewish vote in Florida in 2000. Lieberman and the Jewish voters in Florida were unequal to the task, being thoroughly befuddled by the butterfly ballot. His own party has evicted him, he backs Bush when 70% of Americans don't. He isn't a Democrat or even an American. He's an Israeli that lives in America and put Israel's interests above those of his constituents and his country.

Way to go Joe> Obama is dangerous and that wife of his…pleeeze! America! Why would you want someone like her in the White House? We will be in a dangerous situation if that man is elected.

What a slimeball.

Sore loser Joe Liebermann, shut your mouth! You are the biggest hypocrite on capitol hill. You and McCain both not fit to lead anybody's nation.

Lieberman was the VP candidate for the Democrats in 2000. John Edwards was the VP candidate in 2004

watch repubs go into panic mood now!! loll

Oh lookee…it's traitorous Joe LIEberman. He a loser!!

Joe Leiberman…will somebody ask this joker to STFU…btw, what is he now….a democrat or republicann or liberterian or independent….certainly a big whiner and loser

Lieberman was the Democratic VP candiadate in 2000, not 2004. Edwards was on the ticket in 2004.

They are out of touch and have lost their senses. Did they even listen to the speech? I believe no. Because Obama made it clear what he was going to do. They should realise that there is no hiding place for their old war candidate.

See you dems, what'd I tell you? Obama will blame the US for the world situation rather than blame those actually responsible for undermining peace and security in the world. He will talk to Iran but not to the US government officials or our generals. This man is looney and so are those of you who voted for him.

Just an FYI: Lieberman was the VP nominee in 2000, not 2004.

Joe, go crawl under a rock! I just can't wait until we get our super-majority in November and kick you to seat with the GOP. The good people of CT should recall you!

He's attacking Obama on foreign policy?

Way over 4,000 people have lost their lives because of the way they have handled their foreign policy. Another ignorant republican who fails to see the facts on what the meaning of War is really about. In this case, it has been all about GREED and stupidity.

Lieberwho?? Isn't he a Democrat? No wait, he's a Republican right? What did you say? He's an Independent???

Seriously, he is whatever-party-affliation-I-need-to-be-to-get-into-the-White-House….is McCain even considering him for VP? does he even know he exists?

Shut up.. He is needs to sit down somewhere!!!

It might be helpful for Obama if McCain picks Lieberman as a running mate.

Then, instead of having to choose between a black guy and a white guy, the bigots out there would have to choose between a black guy and a Jewish guy.

That would hoist them on their own petard, I think.

Eric Cantor is an idiot from Va, not Ohio. I am sad to say he reps my district and is an absolute moron.

America is hated more than ever because of the broken foreign policy of the Bush administration. Americans aren't going to buy into this anymore. Your time is up. Joe, go get your brother McBush and go back to the home.

Phillis B.

Lieberman who???? what a has been. Who in their right mind would even entertain anything this angry person has to say. He's a Bush/Mccain follower so why is anything he said even printed. Liberman and Mccain both need to go home and sit on the front porch in their rocker, old geesers

This guy has been shooting to be McCain's VP so tirelessly it is pathetic. Please take him McCain. It would be the best thing ever for democrats. And think how helpful he can be when you forget the differences between Middle Eastern groups.

Lieberman eats paste! He's proving himself to be no more than a
McSame flunkie-he needs to get a life!

Israelis dont vote in a presidential election. Mr.

Lieberman is ABSOLUTELY 100% correct. It's amazing, you bleeding heart liberal/Obama-bots will agree with anything Obama says, no matter what!

Hopefully the Jewish voter's will be able to see right through Obama's fancy scripted/pre-written speech's he gives.

I am not a lieberman fan at all. but he is a jew, he knows his stuff on this issue. He is a slap in obamas face as how mccain cross's party lines to get things done effectively.

Lieberman = " A Lier Man".

Lieberman you are so pathetic!!!!!!!!!

Lieberman should run as a republican next time and see how far he gets. The only reason he is still in the senate is because most people still thinks he is in the democratic party.

Obama/Sebelius '08

The best team for our future.

Now we will see how much political clout Lieberman has.

So now Lieberman is playing for the other team?

Why doesn't Joe change parties?

Lieberman just doesn't get it. In his statement, he did not connect the dots. Sen. Obama is clearly saying that our foreign policy has stregthened Iran THROUGH our Iraq policy. Stop trying to parse words, Lieberman!

Please democrats, let's unite to keep these people OUT of the White House. They just dont get it.

Lieberman is a fail person and he does not know anything except criticize successful politicians to hide his weakness as a poor politician.

Obviously, losing no time, you guys. This is the time for people who are thinking Peace – Constructive Peace

Lieberman is a person that needs to be there to tell McCain what to say…the blood of our soldiers is being wasted…we do not need another old man telling us the right is wrong.

Joe is a spent force. I dont take him serious that much anyways

Oh wow, HRC/Lieberman what a good presidential ticket for BoraBora Island.

Senator Lieberman should just trot across the aisle and make official his defection to the Republican Party. There was a time the Democrats needed him but not any more. He is living proof of how careful a candidate needs to be in choosing a running mate. Perhaps what he is angling for is another run for the VP slot!

If I were Sen. Obama, I wouldn't take much heed in the words of Joe Lieberman. Clearly he is biased in his support of John McCain. One thing I take solace in is that the campaign against Sen. Clinton has prepared Obama for the next rounds of attacks from the Republicans and their friends.

Lieberman talks of the danger in engaging Iran and using diplomacy where beneficial. We know that 8 years of non-diplomacy has done little to conteract the influence of Iran in the region. As a matter of fact, this failed war has served to strengthen Iranian influence.

Why is Lieberman so against using a different approach? Especially since Israel has participated in low level doplomacy with Syria, which is being described as a "terrorist state."

Get ready for the next wave of "political" postering.

Lieberman is a bird that don't has home. He flies from democrat to republican.
He can't even make good judgement of himself to attack someone else.

He should be ashmed of himself. A man without stand, without priority or policy is not a real man.
So Senator Lieberman, just first make a good judgement and than we will see what will come out it.

People of Connecticut, please do something about this idiot.

This is quite alright!! There are things that we can control, and then again, there are things that we cannot control. Every one is entitled to their own opinion and we shall give them that with pride and dignity.

You keep doing what you are doing Obama. It hasn't failed you yet. Stand strong for what you believe in as you always have, because we stand with you every step of the way to the General Election in November.

You are person that will take us into a future that we have only been dreaming of. You are the next PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHARGE.

We are very proud of you !!

Obama 08 ~ Don't Hate !!

Better editing please! This traitor was the 2000 VP nominee and it's 'foreign', not 'foriegn'.

"A fanatical terrorist EXPANSIONIST state?" the first one that comes to mind is not Iran, but it does start with 'I' . . .

lucas is another example of an open minded democrat liberal. mavericks like Joe and Zel are turned on is a second. Dem mavericks, you are always welcome in the repub party.

I hope McCain chooses him as running mate – then they will loste 47 states

It is astounding to me that any person would consider Joe Lieberman's worldview to be appropriate. Iran is stronger today than it was before we invaded Iraq. To dispute this is to dispute the truth.

Any informed person knows (and should have known before the Iraq folly) that the reason Bush Senior left Saddam in power was the knowledge that taking him out would disrupt the balance of power between Iraq & Iran, creating a vacuum into which Iran would step.

This wasn't just predictable; it was predicted. However, those like Lieberman and McCain cannot and will not admit the failure of their own judgment and now seek to smear Obama with the same kind of fear tactics perfected by Bush Jr. and Karl Rove.

Look, America, Bush/McCain/Lieberman foreign policy has FAILED. If you vote to continue it then you deserve to continue down the road to being a second rate power.

Joe Lieberman you cant stop this machine from moving forward. You guys took a messager of God and tried to use the words he said against Obama. What ever Rev. Wright said , if it was that bad God will deal with him. But this machine is being powered by God and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it from moving. May God be with each and everyone of you.

Liberwho!

Obama is a great charismatic orator with virtually no qualifications to be President. He is going to need a very long arm to reach all the way across the aisle from his position at the extreme political far left.

Hmmm, how about McCain choosing Lieberman as his running mate? At least Lieberman believes what he says about Israel, in contrast to Obama, who tells the voters what they want to hear but will readily throw Israel under the bus if he gets a chance to "make a deal" with Syria, Hamas, Iran, the PLO, et al. Never trust someone who is "willing to talk with anyone;" you don't "deal" with the thug who wants to steal your dollars by offering your coins. You fight back and rid the world of the thug. If you don't, you encourage the creation of more thugs.

Please somebody get that dude. He really needs to shut up.

Stupid Foolish Ignorant Idiot!

It's baffling to me why anyone would listen to what Lieberman has to say. He's an opportunist of the worst sort.

I'm tired of the Israel & Palestinian rhetoric! Can we please start concentrating on America!!! Lets bring our troops home and get our country back on track. Let the Israelis and Palestinians sort out their own issues like grown countries!!! Lieberman should go move to the Middle East and work for them full-time cause he sure doesn't spend enough time talking about the US's issues.

This might be off-topic but how sad is it that CNN can't spell "foreign" correctly? I see these typos all the time, it's pathetic.

Now, it is on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, I'm loving it probably more than the dem race!

Obama '08

"It's not because of what we’ve done in Iraq, it’s because Iran is a fanatical terrorist expansionist state."…..
________
The GOP just doesn't get it. They are so busy attacking everything that Obama says that they don't even realize how weak their arguement is. Iran is expanded in terms of terrorist because we have made Iraq a training ground. I guess they think we are to go along with whatever Lieberman says about Iran and Israel just because he's jewish. Joe's out of touvh and so is the entire GOP.

A wanna be veep for McCain. He brings youth to the ticket. Take him, Republicans…….Take him, please.

Poor Joe,
I used to think that this guy was honest but he is nothing but. I think the democratic party should punish this guy for his betrial of his party. He is a close friend of McCain and eventhough he is 'officially' an independent, he is what he is because of the democratic party. It is a shame

Joe-mentum has left the station on the wrong track.

Lieberman is a good spokesman for the Jewish community especially in Florida. Obama has some work to do.

Fear mongering wont work this time Lieberman….

Who turned over the rock and let Lieberman out?…..him and McSame are quite the pair….good running mates….is ya listenin' Bush III?

go away with your nonsense you are what many would call a mole

Oh this is so funny. When do you think Obama will call Iran to setup that talk so he can tell them to stop picking on Israel? His tone begins to change and the rhetoric is new. Funny, Funny!

It's good Lieberman switched to Independent. He has too much integrity to be a Democrat.

I believe Obama won't accept the debate challenge for McCain because he doesn't want to show his weakness before Denver convention. Otherwise, the superdelegates will change their minds. However, I would love to see Hillary to run as an independent candidate (as Joe Lieberman did in 2006) and win the election in the fall to show the DNC how stupid they are to pick Obama because I believe she can lead and can solve the problems that we face now and she has the most popular votes than any other candidate. She can help American people and she understand how people have suffered.

Please Mr. Traitor Lieberman, just be quiet!! You have no face to speak… you are a flip-flopper and America does not appreciate it.

Lieber Who?
McCains Brain of course.
McCain wants to attack Iran, yes well this will give the Chinees and Russians the chance to tryout their new missile and other military technologies against America's without danger to their own armed forces.

How dumb can you get the Iranians already have two supertankers on site ready to sink in the hormus straits right in the supertanker shipping lanes bye bye middle east oil what price Oil $400/barrel??

Obama has to be a better option than these two aunty sally's.

So sneeky, slippery, slider, hack Joe Lieberman wants to attack Barack Obama on foriegn policy? Seneator Lieberman, did you not have to remind your candidate, McBush, who the real terrorists in Iraq are? Is it not the failed Bush-McCain war in Iran that gave Iraq its new prominance in the first place by creating a vacuum of power in the middle east?

Gosh Joe, how long have you been around? It seems you're getting a little slow at story spinning. "There's a sucker born every minute" said P.T. Barnum. While I'm sure there are plenty left in the Republican Party, this former Republican isn't buying. The well is dry – Joe.

We've had many firsts in the primary season. Maybe you and McBush can team up as the first AARP candidates for President!

Get a life Joe, you're a disgruntled man without any party backing. Your statements are a showing of your small mind; how did stirring things up in the Middle East help Israel? It got the Arab world pissed off, and who's the closest US ally in that region who would reap the whirlwind of this agitation…Israel. You old fart, shut up!

. . . old, tired, AND WRONG!

First of all, Joe Lieberman doesn't know if he is a Democrat, Republican or Independent and the same goes for McSame. That's my true members of the GOP aren't supporting McSame. Senator Obama just made history in fact the American people has made history. We are letting the GOP and whoever else have supported the leadership of our country into a recession for the last 8 years that we are fed up and we're not going to take it anymore. Some say what you wan Mr. I don't know what party I belong to because the Democrats will be united and we will win back the White House.

It's not because of what we’ve done in Iraq, it’s because Iran is a fanatical terrorist expansionist state."

Lie-ber-Man, There is no one factor that can describe something. There can be many that attribute to the situation. They can be positive from one side and negative on the other side. Now tell us why you wouldn't think American foreign policy of invading Iraq for their own reasons hasn't strengthened Iran and other terrorists in other parts of the world. Tell me Joe

Lieberman will be the only person in recent history who has lost a vice presidential run for both parties we can already tell he is McCants choice for VP after all he is following him around like a puppy whispering answers in his ears

Lieberman is even weaker than Mcwar…

But ill bet money that he is McSames VP

the sniff dog, who let him loose?

where were you last night? mc c could have used your help, the speech was thousand times pathetic

Sounds like… ole Joe… is bitter…

What is wrong with this man? He is one of those people that brings out the anti-semite in me- and I am a Jew. There is something attractive about the notion of being an Independent and not tying yourself to one political party, but in Lieberman's case I really don't think either party wants him. He has become this sort of whining mouthpiece for conservatism.

The senior senator from the great state of israel!

Are we going to have to listen to this gutless traitor all season? What a coward!

McCain is lucky to have you – since he knows nothing about Iraq. Lucky you were there to correct him on national TV. So, you go ahead and criticize Obama if you want but just remember that if you turn your back for one second, McCain will say yet another dumb remark.

Hmmm… The Illinois Senator getting heat from the Israeli Senator. Lieberman should just join the Republicans already, he's always been one at heart.

And to CNN- He was the VP nominee in 2000, not 2004.

Ladies and Gentlemen — This is why the Democrats in CT booted this clown out of our party in '06.

Lieberman you do not even know who you are. You have lost your way and should try to find yourself again.

Lieberman is a chump!!! He is just mad he lost to Lamont so he switched to independent!!

Why is it that it is a 'MUST" for a presumptive nominee of either party to be demanded by Israel lobby to toe the line for Israel or you're toast?

Does anyone know why this turncoat is still allowed to live in Washington D.C. He did nothing to help Al Gore 8 years ago and he only here to play get back to the democrats. Hes nothing more than a looser that crys over spilled milk. Please take your ball and go home because I dont want to play with you anymore.

Iwsn't it interesting, before we invaded Iraq, Iran was not considered a major player in the Middle East. While there was some concern over them developing a nuclear weapon it was a low level concern and they were being easily prevented from building one. The entire world, including the Middle East, was against them getting the bomb (Russia went so far as to offer them fuel for their power reactors but demanded they return ALL spent fuel to prevent them making the bomb, Bush opposed this measure and by THAT action (supported by McCain and Lieberman) forced Iran to become more militant about wanting power reactors and their RIGHT to have them which led us to where we are now). The policies of the current administration are DIRECTLY responsible for the growth of Iran. By invading Iraq they gave Iran a legitimate "cause" to support, by preventing Russia from selling, and reclaiming, nuclear material for power reactors they managed to turn Russia from and "ally" in the region back into an antagonist in the region, by constantly verbally attacking the legitimate leaders of Iran and by talking about "regime change" there like they did in Iraq they have caused public opinion in the Middle East to support Iran more than before.

Lieberman and McCain are purely WRONG on this issue. Maybe if we had talked with Iran we would not be where we are but we did not and we are where we are now we need a leader who can see beyond yesterday and who is willing to find out what needs to be done to fix the problems caused by the cutrrent administration. McCain/Lieberman is not the ticket that could ever do that.

Lieberman is a crook who go off…He should be in jail. But because of George Bush he's not. So go away Lieberman. You can't be trusted. Lieberman is a liar just like all of Bush and McCain followers.

Apparently Lieberman is bitter about losing Obamas indorsment more so then Obama's foregn policy….

Senator Lieberman just does not seem to get that never-ending occupation and American debt is not the real solution to Iraq ? He seems to get his marching orders from former Israeli Prime Minister and Likud leader , Benjamin Netanahtyu . While he hasn't yet met a Bush / Cheney / McCain Iraqi policy he does not like , why hasn't he looked at the surrounding neighbors for regional stability ? Is he that much in the Bush/ Cheney / McCain " tank " , that he will never talk to Iran or Syria , while Al Queada has had to smuggle money and terrorists through Saudi Arabia and Jordan . Senator Lieberman must think that while General Petraus has relieved Iraqi violence through petitioning and bribes , we are winning ?

Everyone should ask Obama about his knowledge on foreign affairs……..He is so not ready for this.
God help us!

Joe Leiberman and Hillary Clinton have always been Republicans. They have pretended to be Democrats, because it was a way for them to gain political power. Gore screwed up by selecting Leiberman to be his running mate; and Obama will be screwing up if he picks Hillary Clinton to be his running mate.

Lieberman, is PATHETIC…PLAN and SIMPLE. This needs to be his LAST term. The selection of Barack for President is a sign it is time for NEW BLOOD and NEW thinking!!
CONNECTICUT WAKE UP…DO NOT REELECT THIS PERSON!!

How any thinking person can argue that our foreign policy over the past several years has not been counterproductive is beyond me. Everything that Obama said in his speech this morning rings true.

Lieberman, Lieberman, Lieberman…… please just shut the HELL up. YOU are nothing more than Sen. McCain "clean up" man. We've seen you wipe…wipe….wipe…

YOU have no validity in your lame comments. Your candidate is so TOASTS come November.

Need we say more?

I hope the good people of CT, give this guy the boot next time around. He betrayed all of you.

Ha….your 15minutes of fame is long since expired.

Lieberman is McCains foreign policy dog. Where did this Sen Cantor come from all of a sudden. Obama's speech in front of AIPAC today, cut to the bone. In comparison, McCains speech was a superficial scratch. Neither McCain nor Clinton have the savvy to put together the words heard this morning and Lieberman knows it so he had to attack. Many people do that when they are wrong, especially when they know it. And why is he defending Bush's FAILED policies.

They have started to freak out.
Why lieberman.
oooh, I forgot Obama attended the Isreal IPAC today.
We see you through, Republicans!

CNN, you never post my comments. Never!!!

"Nice try Mr. Lieberman. Obama has never made the claim that American foreign policy has made Israel less safe. He makes the claim that it has made America less safe. It is true, whether you wish to acknowledge it or not, that Iran has more influence in the region than it did prior to the Iraq war. Iran's relationship with Israel has not changed, but its influence over other states in the region surely has.

Mr. Lieberman you are a disgrace to all men and women. One must start questioning to which country you owe your allegiance to."

Somebody should tell Joe he is irrelevant.

I thought I smelled that traitorous wretch somewhere nearby…

Bah, Lieberman's still too busy whispering corrections into McCain's ears to know what's really going on anyway.

Mr. Lieberman, as a Jew I was amazingly proud of you, I was hoping you would be the first Jewish VP in the history of the United States of America. But now you've allowed your hatred to consume you.

You used to be a mensch, what happened to you?

And the smearing machine begins……
TO DEMOCRATS: No matter what they throw at us lets' stand united, unwavered and let's our voice be heard this November and place your vote for the next president of United States, Mr. Barak Obama….

Correction: Lieberman was the 2000 nominee with Al Gore.

Barrack Obama needs to STOP going on about the failed policies of this administration. The US hasnt built Iran up they have done it themselves and they have ALWAYS, and always will have, these feelings about Israel. Thank god they havent had free reign to do their job of wiping israel off the map, if its because of our policies then thank god. I think Condi has done a great job of dealing with the Middle East. Obama is just dividing gaps even further. he has his own fan base and now he needs to woo the others, and this doesnt do it.

Obama will say anything that he thinks the people he's speaking to want to hear. why cant people see through this. Obama will be a weak choice to have in office should we be attacked again. He will do anything to avoid conflict which means terrorist groups will build themselves up (as they did with Bill Clinton!) knowing that the weakest link is running the US so we are fine to go as we please.

Hillary is rehearsing for her VP role.

I anticipate she will be able to take a Republican punch. But she has to show us she can hit McCain/Lieberman harder.

C'mon Hillary! Jump in anytime you feel like chiming in.

Oh, please! Go and baby sit McCain! He's somewhere yelling at another cloud!

JUDAS GET LOST

Oh! Sen. LIE-ber-man is getting ready to LIE again!!!

This man is so pathetic!

Lieberman is what he is, a "Liability" on John McSame.

The 'President' is a Christian, and he's aware of what The Bible says that one must seek the peace of Jerusalem if one wants to prosper; why are you guys doubting President Obama?
Is it old age that is at work; when you are too old and refuse to go with the tide, you start to behave and talk like children.

A journalist with access to Senator Lieberman needs to ask him directly: if the choice was between protecting an American city under imminent attack or protecting Tel Aviv under imminent attack, would he hesitate in his decision making?

Lieberman is a joke. He will be lucky to be a Senator again after his alignment with Mc-Q-Tip

Loserman was the VP candidate in 2000, NOT 2004.

You know Reps, do you know why I support him??? Is because the world is looking at us differently. I remember I said that I thought we were the laughing stock of the world but even people of all races(except Middle East) can understand what's going on…….

Now that I respect……

Liebermann is a true Democrat, like the ones our parents knew, before they turned into a bunch of communists.

That is rich coming from a man who has turned his back on his values and ethics more times in public service than any other I can remember.

He is absolute trash!!!!! and when his time comes he will be voted out of office and hopefully fade into the sunset.

Joe, the Democrat, should stay in Connecticut, where he is so much loved by Republicans. If he is such an expert on foreign affairs, why is he still backing that costly and dumb war in iraq?

Mc Cain … has his dogs/surrogates .. doing his dirty job for him …..

You notice that's the only thing the republicans talk about Iran, Iraq & Israel .. It's like they running for office in those three countries …. no word about the people here in the US …………….

Democrats 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad that Joe Lieberman in there to help McCain along – his campaign for the VP nomination is almost as overt as that of Hillary. At least Lieberman has some gravitas.

Mike

What part of "I will never comprmise when it comes to the safety of Israel," doesn't dispel rumors about his committment to out strongest Middle Eastern ally. Come on now GOP! I thought we were stopping these scare tactics. The bottom line is, America will always be joined at the hip to Israel. Obama doesn't stand a chance if he tries anything to the contrarty (not that he would) once he gets the Presidency.

sure would be nice to pick up about 12 senate seats so Joe can feel free to declare himself the mindless right wing nut job he really is.

Just one man's opinion.

No one cares what you think Lieberman. You're irrelevant.

Hey Joe.

Iran is stronger because somebody's been sleeping at the switch, so that makes Iranian backed groups like Hezbollah stronger. If you think having some dialog with Iran is bad, then may be you do not understand the enemy.

Bin Laden is till on the loose because Bush pulled troops out of Tora Bora to go attack Iran. Remember that battle in mountain caves, where Bin Laden was holed up until Bush opened the net.

Wake up Joe. The current strategy is not working as well as advertised.

Lieberman is a Crazy old fool. We have no respect for him whatsoever.

Oh and who cares about Lieberman…he's such a nobody and he knows it.

I really can't stand Liberman but he sure called that right. I hate to admit that I agree with him but being a veteran of twenty years he is dead on.

Can CNN go interview people in Lieberman's election district and see how THEY feel about him today?

2000 VP Nominee Lieberman.. who is now a complete sell out.

Lieberman who?

It's going to be exciting to see Obama verbally own McShame and Lieberman in debates.

I hope Obama accepts McCain's challenge for town hall meetings.

Lieberman is McCain's puppet.

LOL..losers..lol
anyway……….you know, someone commented today for the 5th time about how could Obama let his children sit in a church filled with hate all those years. Some of us more reaearch driven voters did our homework..Trinity is NOT a hate-filled church, but more importantly, i find myself proud that I CAN SIT MY 12 YEAR OLD AND 6 YEAR OLD DOWN IN FRONT OF HIM AND HAVE THEM FILLED WITH HOPE!!!!

cnn.. please post.. i am bursting with joy and need an outlet..thank you.

"Obama endorsed Lieberman in his 2006 Democratic primary battle against challenger Ned Lamont. But after the Connecticut senator lost and decided to run as an independent, Obama switched his support to Lamont, who shared his opposition to the Iraq war.'

Check it out….Nobama has been waffling on decisions for years.

I was for Joe Lieberman before I was against him – The No Resume President.

Lieberman was the Democratic VP candidate in 2000 with Al Gore. Check your facts before writing a story. In 2004 it was Kerry and Edwards. For the record he is officially is an Independent getting elected in the election as such after losing the primary since his state is not one like many that has a sore loser law (you can't run in the fall as an independent if you lose your party's primary). He has clearly drunk the Neo Con Koolaid.

Wow what happened to this guy Lieberman? Bitter due to the fact that he lost to a democrat and had to win his seat as an independent? Sad affairs. The 2004 Democrat VP nominee has lost his marbles along with McBush.

Lieberman is still alive. I thought he died.

Lieberman finds himself on the outside of a refreshing change for the United States so now he wants to oppose it.

The time for Washington insiders to control everything in the name of their special interests is over. Lieberman is paid off by the Israelis and is pushing their agenda.

It's time for the USA to act in our own interests. Help for Israel is one thing. Bending over backwards and shipping them boatloads of American dollars is another.

When you throw stones in a hog pen, whichever one squeals out is the one that got hit!! The fact that you all had to get on a conference call means Obama's stone hit you right in the center….way to go Obama, kill them with it….get on up, stand up, fight back, we're gonna win!!

Obama '08!
