1/2 of "Sore Loserman 2000″ has tranformed into a neo-con. He is hoping to be the running mate of McCain and I pray he become one.

This way "1/2 of Sore Loserman 2000″ would become "1/2 of (Mc)Same Loserman 2008″ when Obama will kick their joint but.

"(Mc)Same Loserman 2008″. I already love the idea!!!

Lieberman has guts. He is standing by his principles in defiance of the rulers of the Democratic Party. .
McCain also has guts. He has also stood by his principles in defiance of the rulers of the Republican Party.

Obama? No guts. Votes the party line. Said he would do townhalls with McCain and then chickened out because he realized he would have to speak, unscripted, without a teleprompter. When Obama can stand up like a man and do something on his own, then I will respect him.

Some very excellent comments here. I fail to understand a few basic points in the discussion so please pardon my ignorance of educate me. The Jews were subjected to inhuman conditions by the Germans, but the middle eastern arabs have to deal with them because Britain created israel (as it stands today under UN charter) in a place that did not belong to them. If Britain or USA feels that so much for the plight of the israelis then they should have welcomed them and created israel in their land off course there is so much place in Texas and other mid-west states. But then I can offer any refugee to go stay at my enemies place and it would be alright if they are unwelcomed and quarrel?? I could even impose on my enemy to partition is home to accomodate the guests…

I think it is not fair the international community (read US and Britain) by the ultimate sacrifice while no israelis army or solders are sent to die in Iraq? Oh! the jews can pay American kids to go to school if they are willing to lay down their lives to protect the interests of israel.

Why do the lobbyist want to make sure that the nominee candidate will ensure support of israel. I say we get out of the mess and let the arabs and israelis decide their fate while I focus on growth of our country and help make America regain its lost glory.

Remove the republicans from the white house and make US safe for all of us.

AK

Lieberman is a complete scum bag!

Look, I'm a pacifist, and even I think you're all treating Lieberman unfairly. Just because someone differs from their party occasionally doesn't make them a traitor. That being said, I strongly disagree with him, and I think he is hurting our world. And a question: How is Obama more liberal than Clinton?

Libermann looks like the Sith…..the evil senator who seduced Anakin in the 1st Episode of Star Wars.

Besides that Libermman cares about Libermann. Who saw that HBO movie "Recount" yeah Libermann hurt the Democrats by suggesting the Repbulicans to count illegal millitary votes with no dates on them.

I will say this much- We the UNITED states of America was just that UNITED! We all followed the same rules the same holidays ETC.. That was just how it was, when YOU CAME TO THE UNITED STAES YOU FOLLOWED OUR SYSTEMS THE HOLIDAYS, the laws…somewhere down the road we all lost good old fashion common sense!!!! now my children/ my childrens children can"t celebrate certain holidays in school we can't pray we can't salute- This is just gotten so out of control! If you come here and you don't like something o well deal with it!!! or go back to were you came from! AHAHHA I am ready to move to canada

Lieberman and McCain are the establishment. Obama stands for change. Remember: Many Americans and some legislators don't want change. I believe they are not the majority. My opinion: Both Lie-berman and McSame should be voted out of their Senate seats.

Change is coming. I can feel it. Can you feel it? I don't think there's anything the haters can do to stop it, and I believe they know this. America, keep the faith.

The people of America- did NOT vote for Obama! it was our Goverment Who put him there. I will write HILLARY on my tickect as well. Great Ideal

Look, I'm a pacifist, and even I think you're all treating Lieberman unfairly. Just because someone differs from their party occasionally doesn't make them a traitor. That being said, I strongly disagree with him, and I think he is hurting our world.

Lie-ber man, is a very unhappy man. Some one please go get him a rocking chair and sit it next to McCaine.

No Hillary, No Bayh for VP and DITCH MITCH

Lieberman should run for the Israeli Knesset - he should not be in the US Senate. His number one goal is to weaken arab nations and creat chaos of the sort that will force Americans to continue funding Israel's expansionist visions. Like the Republicans willing to sacrifice American lives for their own desires, Lieberman has sold out the people of the middle east because of his own conservative religious views.

Lieberman needs to take off his independent status and just become a republican. That is what he is now.

What a bunch of ignorant people you are. Look at how he votes on most issues; look at the extent to which he disagrees with Bush. He is his OWN person, or are you Rovish Democrats (pretty much all of you now I guess) unwilling to accept that???

The problem is that most Democrats don't bother educating themselves about McCain's position, and find it easier to just equate him with Bush, which is wrong. Simply put, you are ignorant and therefore easy to manage with soundbytes and photo ops. Sadly, you find it easier and more fulfilling to remain in ignorant hatred than to actually educate yourself. You are EXACTLY what you hate in Congress.

Lieberman is just another tool of the well oiled Israeli interest machine. And by the way, it has nothing to do with him being a Jew. Israel controls American foreign policy not just through actual decision-makers like Lieberman, but also by controlling the viewpoint of the average American through PR and media. That is why people like Lieberman can blast someone for having a moderate and objective stance on Israel and consequentially accuse them of being anti-Israel, simply because they are not fanatically and suicidally pro-Israel.

I lost my respect for Lieberman way before he left the Democratic party. A few years prior to that he was dedicating an enormous amount of energy, and practically his senate career, towards banning an oh so imminent threat; violent video games.

WHY LEAVE A POST ON CNN THEY ALL ARE MODERATED AND COMMENTS ARE CLOSED IF THEY DO NOT GO THE WAY THEY WANT THEM

Why do we support a nation that walls off a section of the population that they cannot be bothered with?

Liberman is a JUDA !

LIEBERMAN IS THE MOST DISGUSTING PIG I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS, I DON'T KNOW WHY THE MEDIA EVEN BOTHER TO GIVE HIM COVERAGE, HE IS A BIG FOOL WITH AN EMPTY HEAD

This is going to be one ugly election. That can be seen already. Who cares about Obama's minister or what church idiot McCain received support from. That Obama doesn't wear a flag on his lapel. ( How many people do anyways ) Please Lets for once talk issues Instead of sounding like a bunch of immature kids fighting. Me I will vote for the first guy who promises to get out of Iraq. How I don't care just get out. Our economy is in the dumper I wonder why? Nothing to do with all the money spent in Iraq and Afghanistan. Please lets start focusing back home let others deal with there own problems for awhile, it's time we started dealing with our own. Economy,Education, Drugs, the decay of our inner cities, ie poverty. Please notice I did not include religion either. Seperation of church and stae for once please people. Maybe we should have let the south leave after all. All one needs to do to get elected there: I am against abortion I am a reborn Christian. WOWWWW Lets change the law again so we can elect Bush again. Thats all we need another 4 yrs of his policies but hey he was reborn (Yippee) and against abortion ( Yippee ) and is a total moron who has destroyed the country. Thats ok though he's Reborn and against abortion. Please people wake up there are far more important things of concern. Reborn yeahh right.

Lieberman has more honesty and integrity in his little finger than the rest of the Democratic party combined.

If Gore picks anybody but Lieberman for VP he wins in 2000.

mccain sucks he should quit now or risk losing all his freinds except lieberman.
OBama for pres because mccain is lame and the same
obama will lead us back to greatness
mccain is losing
obama is awesome

Lieberman and Hillary Clinton should team up, as the lying loser independant ticket. Both of them have demonstrated that they are not worthy Democrats.

Hmmm…for starters, hasn't Hillary already with drawn and gone on to state she will support Sen Obama. So all the Pro-Hillary, Anti-Obama Democrats need to look past the nomination, with all its faults and realize under the current rules, Sen Obama won.

Secondly, lets stay focused on the topic at hand…this report was about Sen's Obama and Lieberman discussing whatever politians discuss in the heat of the moment. I don't recall reading about Hillary or Sen Obama's experience.

As for Sen Obama's experience, I'm still trying to figure out what Hillary's brings to the table? We know it wasn't diplomacy, everything she said she did was OUTRIGHT exaceration of the truth or a large embellishment of the truth. We know for a fact there were no bullets in Bosnia, the Irish Prime Minister called her attempts to bring peace to Ireland as non-existant. I don't recall any other member of state/country saying they had spoken with her at 0300 hrs during any crisis. Where's the experience?

But I digress…

Folks, the simple fact of the matter is we, and by we I mean the USA is afraid of change. We are apathetic when it comes to holding the powers that be accountable. Point of Fact, lets blame the Sen Obama for 'stealing' the nominaion because FL and MI democratic party leaders could not play well in the sandbox.

Change is upon us, accept it, grasp it and nourish it. Change is good. More importantly its time for a change.

Vote your head, your heart and your belly…

Vote for change, Vote for Obama.

Adrea, Radial liberal? But you support Hillary? Are you crazy, or just uneducated on the issues? I'll go with #2, you're just an angry women who was excited about your gender having a chance- and now you're stamping Obama a "radical" liberal because you're unsure about where EITHER of them stood. In a few (really people they're very much alike) ways Obama is LESS "radical" liberal then Hill. Knock it off, if you liked Hillary for anything OTHER then her gender, you'd realize Obama is a perfectly acceptable option.

Obama lost my vote when the DNC lost me a few weeks ago…

NEVER OBAMA…

CLINTON 2012!!!!!!!!!!

SICK of hearing about Israel. The state is about as important to AMERICA as is Peru . . . and about as important as Uganda. Enough is enough! Men are running for President of the United States - NOT Israel. If Israel dislikes/opposes a candidate, in my book, that is almost enough in and of itself to support said candidate. Go away Lieberman. Nobody cares any more about your warmongering and your . . . ahem . . . real allegiances.

The way Lieberman hangs around McCain and hangs on the SENIOR senator's words, he's clearly angling for the VP spot. Why else would anyone willingly descend to lapdog status? Good Joe, sit… stay… roll over… now play dead. You're dead to Democrats now.

Democrats threw Lieberman under the bus a long time ago. He owes them no loyalty. It is more important to stand up for what is right for America than to pander to any particular candidate. Lieberman just happens to agree with McCain on the most important issue of our time.

Obama fans: not everyone is going to agree with you or your candidate for President. Just because they do not agree with you doesn't make them bad people. Stop all the personal attack non-sense.

Judas Judas that's what Lieberman is.

Good for Liberman—3 weeks ago it was perfectly o.k. to criticize Obama & now–reading the posts on this blog you'd think Obama was God himself. There are major major problems with this election if no one can criticize the clear front runner. When will we as Democrats stand up & hold Obama accountable for all issues we stand on instead of blindly shouting—anyone but Bush. It is important that the next President be held accountable before it is too late & I agree with Liberman that Obama has no interest in preventing Iran from gaining Nuclear weapons which I also firmly believe will be used here in New York city.

Lieberman has every right to support McCain, he does not have every right to play politics of convenience when it suits him. He needs to quit being a weasel.

Andrea, it sounds like you have some self-shame to deal with voting for a man such as McCain who is diametrically opposed to everything that Hillary represents. Get over it. Obama has NEVER said that if you don't vote for him it is racism. I can't imagine him ever even thinking this. It sounds like you have some issues to deal with outside this election.

Lieberman is a traitor to the values he has/had!

Please, look at where it's coming from. Joe Lieberman - Ex-democrat who couldn't get the votes, turned independent, not honest enough to admit he's really a republican. Well, actually, not so much a republican as McCain's henchman. This guy is as confused as McCain. I'm amazed that anyone is paying him any attention at all.

Here we go again. First we take on Bill Clinton.(remember he is a racist? how obnoxious is that!)..now Lieberman just because he has the guts to disagree. Not saying I agree with him but I sure have more faith in someone who sticks with his own opinions then someone who just says what you want to hear.
When did we blindly back a party instead of view points? People like Lieberman really frighten some of us. Why? Because they think freely and say what they think without bargaining with the majority. I've heard it said that Democrats sure know how to loose a race. Well, here we go again…Attack someone with independent views. Act like we are voting for star football players and forget that maybe we should be selecting our countries leaders based on grit, guts, and viewpoints. Maybe that is why so many of us want Hillary to run as an independent. I don't remember voting for a football game…much too serious…We need someone who knows what they are doing.

flog the old dog. change is a coming.

The obama child lecturing Lieberman? bo ha s a lot of growing up to do. His antics remind me of a spoiled brat.

A judas by any other name is also known as a "lieberman". Now what else do you need to know except that it cost than thirty "ducats". It is time to put those connecticut supporters out of their misery by showing them the real character of this person. You are who you support, and hope that they are now seeing the truth. Too bad the next elections for this judas is years away, but let's hope the voters will not forget. Connecticutians are much better than that, and truly deserve someone of higher morals - one who would stand for some principles and not sit on the fence just for the sake of getting what is more beneficial to him personally.

Lieberman should be able to support whoever he wants. I am voting for obama and i still think he should.

Obama 08 and 12

we do notcare what this corrupt republican thinks…..
He is even worse than mcbush

Lieberman needs to go away and leave the Democratic Party better off without him!

Individuals posting as "life-long Democrats" who are voting for McSame for whatever reason are not Democrats. They are nervous Republicans attempting to trot out the same old doubt/smear campaign that's given them 8 disasterous years. It is exactly the same tactic used against Kerry: Wash comment boards, e-mail chains, and any outlet available with the same message - the world is a scary place, so it's time for Democrats to vote Republican. It's easy to notice if you take a look at who is posting. The facts don't lie: If youcare about the economy, health care, the environment, or foreign policy, come join those of us charting a new course in American politics.

Obama 08

Obama gave Lieberman a "talking to?" No wonder Dems like Joe and myself are leaving the party. This Obama's tactics and ideas are going to destroy the country.

We aren't going to goose step to the White House with you Obamanazis, and Obama ain't Der Fuhrer yet, so I reserve the right to speak out against you idiots…

Hillary should have done like Joe: running independently.who cares about DNC. I am willingly pouring my support for her. Obama said something about making him and his wife scary. Michelle is not scary , she just plain ugly.That's all.

I like Lieberman. How often do we see politicians going against the grain, especially pubically? It's not a common occurance. To me, he seems like someone with integrity–that is, he's going by his conscience, not his party. I wish all politicians were like that. There's no way all but one of those Senators agree on everything mainstream Democrat or mainstream Republican, but that seems to be how most votes go–along party lines.

Leiberman has the guts to stand up for what he believes in, as does McCain, rather than toe a party line. Besides how can Obama stand up to Lieberman when Michelle wears the pants of the family.

I am originally from CT.

Joe is a sore loser who should have taken his defeat like a man instead running AGAINST HIS OWN PARTY!…soon after he abandoned his party and switched to the Independents and then was BACKED by the REPUBLICANS. He is not helping the Independent party either being a loser and perhaps a cast-out from the dems..How can anyone say the Democratic party turned on Joe, he already lost the primary, see the infinite loop here?

To paraphrase from Einstein (pardon the pomp!) We cannot simultaneously elect people who are diplomatically pre-disposed for war with Iran and think that will prevent war with Iran? It's one thing when the U.S and Israel bomb poor countries like Iraq and Syria but Iran is made up of a higher percentage of educated and relatively wealthy people, and they happen to control the Strait of HORMUZ…..

The fact remains, no matter how conservative you are, that without doubt the United States Of America simply cannot AFFORD, nor SUSTAIN, nor has the WILL for three simultaneous wars (Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran), with one being on essentially on TWO FRONTS! We would have to first re-instate the Draft, then get out of our current wars to help Israel with Iran, and do more business with Venezuela, which is a whole other can of worms. Is this why we have been fighting in Iraq?!

People like McCain and Lieberman use the same doggy trick "you’re with us or your with the terrorists" crap and we lap it up. Hey let's carve up Iran with the help of Israel while they cheer us on as the worlds liberators and give us the flower? Will Russia and China who do business with Iran just let us feast on the thanksgiving-day turkey all by ourselves? Do we think Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia will watch Israel have-at Iran. Are we so naive we think that just bombing Iran’s Nuclear Reactor facilities will not expand into war with that nut-job Amadenajad?

Perhaps we are saying to the world "we grabbed der Wolf by the ears and we don’t dare let go"

Lieberman is an untrustworthy republican who flip flops on a daily basis. He caused the demise of the Gore campaign. Anything he touches turns to waste. Let the repubs have him. Especially after this fall the dem's won't need his vote. He's a Benedict Arnold. He should put down his political career and come out with his hands where our eyes can see.

I know CNN won't post this, but I figure I'd give it a shot. At least, one person will read it other than myself.

Are McCain and LIeberman in love?

hahahahaha Osama - you spelled your last name wrong.

Hey, I'm thinking that poster wasn't actually bin Laden…. …"W" is that you? You and your wacky "misspellinginations!"

How can Republicans even show thier faces after what has happened to America through the Bush administration? Not only once but twice. And they are not through, they are voting for a third term. People stand up against a continuation of these policies. McCain is not going to change anything. He has been a politician for 20+ years and what has he changed? The only things we've seen changed are for the worse. Don't let what is going on in America to continue. Obama '08!!

TO: Typical Angrey American June 15th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

LIBERMAN'S HOME STATE CONNETICUT HAS THE HIGHEST GAS PRICES IN THE NATION. IT'S A FACT.

LIEBERMAN IS A TURN COAT—WHO CARES WHAT HE SAYS, THE MAN IS AN IDIOT.

I cant believe how many people dislike Lieberman on this message board. The democrats ditched him, but the people of Connecticut still have a right to vote in who they want.. I think there needs to be more independent minded senators like him to stop this partisan politiking thats obviouslt ruining this country. And regardsing Israel, I think we all have a moral obligation to protect this country.

I hope Joe Lieberman is chosen as McCain's VP. Dramatically increases the chance for a landslide by Democrats.

If I remember right, it was the democratic party who abandoned Sen. Lieberman in the primary of 2006. Now he is the traitor ?

Joe Liebermann has one interest at heart and one only. Empowering Israel. he is not for Democrats, he is not for Republicans, He is not for independants. He is not even for the United States. His main ambition is to ensure the US backs Israel with military might. It is plain in all that he says and does.

If ever there was a conflict of interest, his name would be Joe Liebermann.

Its' time to wake up to the reality and re-examine radical Zionism's relationship to America. Stop rationalizing our actions for this god-forsaken Un-holy land.

You know, when I see comments about Obama that aren't true(example: he flir-flopped on religion and the war) and all the comments about his lack of experience, I have to wondewr these people's ages or IQs.Obama has always voted against the war in Iraq and Obama denounced his churches pastor and guest speaker, not his religion.He is not responsible for their comments.Also, did any of you take American history or social studies? Or did you all drop out. News flash!: the Pres. does not run the country. The only real power he has is the veto,which can be over-ridden by the house. He has advisors and congress. You are not turning a child loose in a candy store! The reason to vote for Obama is simple. He is the better face to show to the world to improve our image and therefore improve our position. That is American. that is patriotic!

i hope this time you will let me see my commit or are you like some people who are for hillary and it won't be seen

We will live to regret this obama thing one day.

i'm against oboma he got some delegates witch he didn't deserve like michigan and florida he is dishonest as the day is long i'm glad the dnc is nerves they deserve to be they took 18 million voters who voted for sen. hillary and through them away just like the republic's did when bush ran their votes didn't count either oboma should have been a republicin he fit right in real good i hope he doesn't get other delegates he doesn't deserve them he got some that belonged to sen. hillary

Lieberman is a sad caricature of a politician. the last best hope for our country is to elect a Democratic majority so we can overturn all of the Bush./Cheney/Rove vileness that has brought our great country down to the sewer level.

It's all part of the Dem's desperation to portray wimpy Obama as a tough guy.

It's starting to dawn on some Dems just how much of a longshot Obama is, and they will do anything to get everyone to look in another direction.

Seth

I don't know where you were taught your manners, but a gentleman always lets a lady go first. You and McCain both need to be taught some respect for women if you think that McCain having Cindy walk behind him shows that he is "in charge". In my opinion, that alone speaks volumes about him..although, I don't need to watch him to know his opinion of women. I've researched how he votes on womens issues.

Obama is nothing like Carter as McCain trys to connect. MCCain and Bush are identical. McBushes third term!

Let me get this straight. The Democrats reject Lieberman as their candidate for the Senate. He wins as an independent. Now the Dems think they have some leverage over what he can or can't say.

Of course any time anyone points out flaws in the Democrats policies, they label it as negative campaigning.

as for me, i think it's funny how the femminists are rallying around McCain, now that hillary is out - yes, how wise women must be to rally behind the party that would never ever have a woman candidate: ever

When are so many of you posters going to learn the word is 'loser' for someone losing! LOOSER is not correct !!

Osama Bama. There is a new party emerging from within the democrats. Look at Osama Bama's goals and you will find that he's part of the new Democratic Socialist Party or Dazi Party.

I believe that he threatend Lieberman. Osama Bama is not different than Hugo Chaves. If you think you pay to much in taxes now wait and see if Osama Bama gets elected. To quote Winston Churchill "you cannot tax yourself into prosperity" Yet this is just what Osama Bama and the Dazi Party want to do.

Lieberman should just go away. And quickly. Too bad the citizens of Connecticut didn't see this guy for what he is.

Lieberman needs to back to Israel with all of the other people like him and the Arabs need to back to where they came from also and let both sides battle it out in the middle east and what ever happens let none of them back over here.

Go JOE!!! - Do NOT let obama, Dodd or Kerry bully you - like they did Hillary!!! OBama is NOT qualified - and the GOP knows this FACT.
Liberman/McCain will rip obama and his Radical opinions apart!

Well…it looks like at least someone has sense! Go Lieberman….you smart man!!!

NOBAMA '08!!! (Shoulda been Hillary!)

Lieberman and McBush, if given their way, will lead this country to cause a total collapse of the middle east, and in that chaos, how much do you think gas is going to cost? $10 a gallon or more? Iraq was what kept Iran in check. Now we have to spend billions to do it. War in various parts of the Middle East just helps Iran get more power. When people have no hope, they will do anything, including blowing themselves up. Do you think it's the way they want to end their lives. No. Let Middle Easterners live their lives the way they want to. Let them develop their infrastructures and rais their living standards and no one will want to blow themselves up. Help Israel and the Palestinians find a solution and get out of Iraq and Iran will have no more influence there. The patriotism of the people of Iraq will see to that. The longer we stay there, the longer it will take for that area of the world to be normal again.

By the way - the #1 recipient of Irsaeli lobbyist money? Not Lieberman - you Democrat's answer to Secretarty of State - Joe Biden. No wonder you guys can't win!

It is certainly unbecoming for Lieberman to be an attack dog for McCain. He has and can continue to support McCain without doing damage to Obama and the other Democrats running for office. Hopefully, after Obama is President and more Democrats are elected to the House and Senate, we can let Lieberman lose. Considering the things he has said and done, he doesn't deserve respect from us.

When I learned what Lieberman did in Florida in the 2000 election which, in effect, sided with the Republicans in their desire to count all military votes regardless of their post mark. This meant votes could have been mailed AFTER the election took place…..and WOULD be counted. The DNC disapproved of this (as it was obvious the Republicans could add votes at will and win the majority pretty easily). Lieberman over ruled them We learned this in the movie "Recount "and were appalled. I am hopeful he will not be re- elected to the Senate next time. Why Gore ever chose him as a running mate eludes me.

MC CAIN- LIEBRMAN 08 BABEY.

The Democrats abanoned Lieberman when he was running for re-election, and now they're going to give him a talking too? He should enjoy being a thorn in their two-faced side.

Sort of like Hillary should be since they hung her out to dry also!

I know that we were threatened at Greta wire, obama supporter said( yes,obama supporter) we have your addreses, e-mails, work place ect. what does that sound like to you? I stand by my comment!!!!
Obama plays by dirty chicago politics, I find him to be dangerous, he does after all pay! people to blog for him,,

God help us if obama gets in the white house.

Andrea, i'm sorry, you sound like a woman who don't want a black man as President. You keep saying sexism. Please show me one thing that Obama did to claim sexism. Don't hold your racist attitude and say you will vote for McCain. Just do it. And when you do, just tell the American people that you helped to spend more money in Iraq. Also tell the familes that lost love ones that you don't care how they feel, you voted for McCain because you wanted to be ignorant because you wanted to say Obama played sexism even though the Clintons played the race card. Andrea, you are a racist and you phony talk about not this black man just proves it.

for Leiberman supporters
Fact is, Iran IS stronger now bcuase of America's foreign policy & as a result Isrial is less safe. Lieberman is not accurate here. & now he criticizes Obama for criticizing America's foreign policy for the past 8 years?
Are you all dilusional or is is iit that your "closed Mindness" causes you to believe any & every criticizm of Obama? That's the same stupidity that gave us a 2Nd Bush term. Amazine.

Lieberman represents- Israel militants

McCain- represents- war mongers. He's still trying to get even for the years he missed fighting- while in captivity, during Viet Nam.

Israel needs to work toward a peace process, not the militant approach it takes now.

We will not bomb, bomb, bomb Iran- using up our sons and daughters!!

Lieberman will be gone soon after the election.

Lieberman is the reason why Gore lost in 2000. For example, me and several other people I know did not vote for Gore for the sole reason of Lieberman being in the VP slot and for being too pro-Israel. I am a firm believer in being independent, but as far as the war goes, Lieberman is on the wrong side.

he's a backstabber to his former party,and mccain's attack dog,against obama.he is an obstacle to mideast peace,and likes having american troops fighting israels battles.

I am a democrat and voted for Joe as an inependent here in CT…I will do it again. He was strung out and abandoned by his own party for an elite liberal billionaire, Sir Ned Lamont. I couldn't support Lamant and the spineless democrats that threw Sen Lieberman under he bus. He was hung out much like Sen Clinton.

"It is because Iran is a fanatical terrorist, expansionist state."

…And how was it Ahmadinejad came to power? On what platform did he ascend? I believe it was by capitalizing on anti-US sentiments in the region, was it not? So really, it is ENTIRELY because of US foreign policy…or it is to those of us actually capable of seeing texture and shades of gray.

nothing Lieberman has ever said has made any sense. so why is either party bothering ?

Lieberman is one of the wise senators left on the hill. Though he is Jewish but is an American at heart. Joes understands the meaning of "flags of our fathers", Hillary has pledged her alliegance and Obama looked the other way when supporting Hillary. Jonh has a team of the best and the brightest that the Dems will envy . Glad that Carly Fiorina is on board. She is the next best thing to Hillary.

It's funny so many of you Dem's questioning Lieberman. Where were the Dems when he was running for re-election. Oh that's right, they were actively campaigning against him. Such short memories. You're lucky he is such a nice guy and allows you to keep the majority in the senate. Keep pushing him and see what happens. Now that would be payback…..

CNN your post are so biased. This isn't Russia or Cuba where you give only a positive spin to one candidate. BHO needs schooled. He can't carry Joe L's jock strap.

Lieberman just thinks he will get the chance to be on McCain's ticket. He is not devoted to any party, just a loose tounge trying to capture attention.

Sen. Obama will make one of the best presidents American will ever see.

I don't particularly care for Lieberman, but it strrikes me as wrong to have Obama "pointedly" pull him to one side to have a conversation on politics. This is getting to be just like Bush and controlling the public message. Not exactly "new politics" or "real change", is it?

Joe Lieberman- the one man in Washington who exercises personal principles over politics. He's the only guy here who risked political alienation from his own party to support a cause that he believed in and actually won the support of his state. If the Democrats strip Lieberman of his positions, then they have to answer to the State of Connecticut.

Lieberman still want America to spend over 100 billion in Isreal even though we can't even give our children medical insurance. Remember when the first Bush said that we cannot afford to give Isreal more money and he was one of the few who said that Bush better give Isreal the money. Because Obama said that America must be taken care of first before anybody else, Lieberman is now upset and wants to say that Obama is not for Isreal. Lieberman do not care about the American people since Lieberman is Jewish.
Lieberman, the biggest joke in America.

Anyone who criticizes Lieberman is part of the problem with US politics. You are the partisans that you complain about. You should love the fact that someone has the courage to stand up to their own party.

Liberman…an old fart who flip-flops!

Lieberman is not the first, nor will be the last person to leave the Democratic Party. The DNC is responsible for this, but they, just like their candidate of choice (Obama) will never see or accept the blame for their actions.

Go Senator Lieberman! What do you news folks mean, Did Obama give Lieberman a talking to? That upstart Obama doesn't have the right nor the cajones to do such a thing.

@ Brian

Anyone can make a typo. Keep reading all the comments I am not the only one who makes mistakes Mr. Perfect. By the way I am bilingual female educated. How about you how many languages do you speak?.

Senator Obama is not a Muslim and the only one that the Republicans went after was Senator Obama. They wanted him out of the race because they know that it would be harder to beat him then Hillary. She herself even said that he could win in November. We need someone to lift us up not drag us down.

Make sure that you vote for Democrats in Senate! Once we have a clear majority, Lieberman will be irrelevant.
And just out of curiosity, what do Democrats of Connecticut have to say for themselves?

Lieberman is the modern-day Benedict Arnold!

Chris, the article clearly says that Obama did not support Lieberman's independent run for the Senate. Obama supported the Dem who lost to Lieberman. So, Lieberman hasn't done anything to turn his back on someone who supported him. If we could get a few more politicians who are willing to work together in the middle, we might actually get some things accomplished instead of always fighting over the extremes, and being petty.

Barack Obama - proof that a black man is as capable of being a lying, cheating, two-faced, bully of a politico as any white man. Change?! How is using scare tactics and your political power to suppress another person's right to political opinion and free speech "change" Sen. Obama?! Oh, yes, let's hear it for equality!

Down with the Democratic party and Obama. Their dirty politics and extreme left-wing agenda are not change Americans can believe in!

I am a Democrat leaning more Independent by the minute. You can't force an inadequate, arrogant, pander-puss of a candidate down our throats!

LIEberman only cares about Israel. He and his buddy McBush have started beating the war drum to attack Iran.

Listening to this ridiculous partisan rhetoric by Obama supporters shows that he's far from being the great "uniter" touted by his zombie followers. Nice to see that Leiberman for one isn't fooled, but I hope the majority of americans aren't fooled in November.

Lieberman for President! This man is a GOOD HONEST SENATOR.
obama comes across as a school yard bully.

Democrats will eventually eat their own if you give them time.. just a few years ago he was good enough to become VP but once he develops any of his own ideas they show their true fascist nature.

Lieberman has so much more experience than Obama you dolts ought to listen to him.

And CNN.. shame on you for being in Obama's back pocket. You are doing exactly what you chided yourselves for during the run up to the Iraq war.

Shame on you.

What is this nonsense that i hear about Israel ?
Why is John McCain not talking anything except things like Middle east, Israel, Iran and Iraq ?

Seems he knows more about those countries than America itself. Guess he better change his citizenship.
And what is this about people's fixation about Israel ? Are Jews here loyal to America or to Israel ?

If warring with Iran is a way to 'grab' jewish votes, it does nothing but prove that Jews are more interested Israel's welfare than the welfare of the USA

A Neutral observer

This must be a part of the democrats blue-wall of silence that might underscore deep internal fissures within their own party. If you think there are not I would like to point out that Obama did not win the democrat popular vote in his own party.

Just look at the company McCain Keeps enough said..

ROFL, reading the "Democrats" for McCain. These posts are so transparently Republican, same as Lieberman. Are these posters going to hold the RNC to the same standard of scrutiny, such as not accepting donations from lobbyist or PACs, as the DNC did?

Let the Republicans use Lieberman until they don't need him any more and then he will find out he is not going to be McCain's VP or even in him cabinet.

Yet again the party of tolerance and inclusion can only tolerate and include those in their ranks who agree with them completely. What a joke you Democrats are.

I see the Repubilcans pretending to be Hillary supporters are still around.

Liberman was wrong to cheer the Iraq war, and Obama was right to oppose a needless war. America is rightfully sick of following leaders that make such huge mistakes, then either ignore or make excuses for those mistakes.

Liberman has no business in government.

And one more thing…All of you questioning or decrying Liebermans' lack of "loyalty" - I'll take consicence, independence and principle any day. Loyalty in the face of contrary conviction is cowardice.

Maybe the reason Obama is so scared of Lieberman is that a McCain Lieberman ticket will win in November. Lieberman's the last sane Democrat/independent left in the Senate

Lieberman has never been right about anything and he has credibility with a very small and grower smaller group of Zionists every day..he will be gone from any importance in the Senate right after the election when the dems won't need his back-stabbing, cold body as part of their caucus.

Of course some feel-good, turn-coat Democrats would like to stop Senator Lieberman on his tracks. Just don't forget that this courageous Senator kicked Lamont's butt even when Lamont had the Democratic machine behind him. I am a life-long Democrat and I have nothing but respect and admiration for Senator Lieberman. Please DO NOT allow any political party or anyone shut you up or stop you from doing what you feel is right. We need so mavericks like you!

I would wish that Senator Obama and his feel-good supporters wouldn’t be such hypocrites. Senator Lieberman is a Senator that has always been true to his word. Can Senator Obama and his supporters claim the same? I seriously doubt it!

OK, enough is enough, just because we waited to take on the Germans directly on mainland Europe until June 1944, although we knew about the holicaost well before then does not mean that we are forever in debt to Isreal.

Get off the guilt trip and get on with living in a world populated with 6.5 billion people spread out over 200+ countries.

Interesting. It's hard not judge the depth of the opinion holders knowledge with which he comes to these opinions when he can't spell "campaign." I think it is no coincidence that the opinions that seem to come from the ill-informed often have little bits of evidence of the fact in the middle of their rants.

___________________________________________

Brian, carmen may or may not need a little help with spelling. It appears to me to have been a simple typo. You, however, in your pathetic attempt at literary superiority, remind me of the adage, "Give an infinite number of typewriters to an infinite number of chimpanzees and one will write War and Peace".

Guess what? You aren't the one!

Gibber on, though…..I find the cybermasturbating in these blogs to be quite amusing.

Anyone else think that Lieberman looks kinda like Emperor Palpatine?

The GOP dosen't want Lieberman cause hes a jew, the DEM's don't want him cause hes a lying republican, Liebermans a joke and a disgrace to all jews.

Change is coming anyway with or without littleman obama should stay focused

Maybe trillions of dollars wasted away on the war is …
maybe Gi bill is also….
maybe not knowing enough of economics is …

"not too important"

I think its important not to vote for McSame
the man without a party remains without a party

Like most Jews such as me Lieberman is scared about Obama talking to Hamas unconditionally. Don't get me wrong; there need to be talks, but Hamas needs to acknowledge Israel's right to exist. Lieberman is not a Republican lap dog by any means; be just agrees with them as I do on the high profile issues discussed above. He is standing up for what he believes in, demonstrating the individuality which we as Americans are supposed to hold in the highest regard.

Personally, I sympathize with Obama. It is not at all ridiculous to say that the war in Iraq has strengthened Iran. That being said, the Democrats ought to stop whining when the guy they turned their backs on doesn't support them.

Lieberman want to be VP of both parties and betray both of them.

He gives me the creeps, and so is part of his family.

His stepson is supporting Obama.

So let me get this straight:

If you're white and criticize Obama you're a racist.
If you're Jewish and criticize Obama you're a Zionist traitor.
If you're female and criticize Obama you're a Clinton hater.
If you're African-American and criticize Obama you're an Uncle Tom.
If you're a Democrat and criticize Obama you're a closet Republican.
Anyone else who criticizes Obama is an uneducated illiterate.

Given the rampant Obama mania, I sometimes feel like the one sane patient in a mental hospital. And I'm beginning to have doubts about myself.

I Detest the state of Israel, it is quite clearly the premier terrorist state on the planet.
The Israeli intelligence agency Mosad is actively working against the interests of the USA and still succesive administrations support this cancer on the face of the earth.
The sooner the US casts this state adrift to fight it's own corner the better.

Woman4Obama, of course the Europeans are in favor of Obama. What better way to pursue their typically anti-American agenda than to have a complete novice in world affairs as president. Another Carter they can walk all over.

C'Mon People give the old guy a break. He is just doing what his owners have trained him to do. He is at the end of his Political career and is looking for friends to take care of him in his retirement.

Joe Lieberman has finally gotten what he really wants…to pose as a martyr, surrounded by hostiles but annointed by God …always right…and of course, always delusional that feeding his ego has trumpted principal in motivating his behavior.
This IS his last term in the Senate. He will not be a "patriarch " but a "pariah" …

God forbid that you say anything negative about Obama or that wife of his. The woman is full of hate. Remember what she said on that interview when asked if she would vote for Clinton. Her response "I'll have to think about it." Democrats think before voting for Obama. Larouchepac.com - Why McCain will beat Obama.

he mr. lieberman needs to concentrate on checking McCain's bearing and leave Obama alone

Obama 08

"Lieberman accused Obama of blaming U.S. policies for "essentially sort of strengthening" Iran"

How does that translate in to

"If Israel is in danger today, it's not because of American foreign policy, "

Everybody knows that Iran and other Arab countries have always officially hated Israel and so the latter might be said to have always been in danger from them, irrespective of the USA's position which has indeed strengthened Iran (no "sort of") further

Mccain is very confused and that is INSPITE OF HIS AGE, which should ordinarily bring clarity and wisdom.
Lieberman is as confused as McCain. Apart from being a poor reasoner, he does not even know what he wants

Is he "essentially sort of strengthening" McCain? What a putz!

To those of you that MAKE it a point to keep saying you will NOT vote for Obama, SO what? dadadadada…………If you succeed in putting another McBush in the White House, SO BE IT…you will get everything you deserve and more……….But by no means will you be hurting Obama, he will be better then fine……….He has JOB, Medical Insurance, Payment for MORGAGE, KIDS to young for WAR, and CAN AFFORD FOOD, GAS………………. He's a man that has more integrity, loyalty and ambition then any of you will ever dream about…pockets won't be touch no matter how wrost this ecomny gets if McSane is president…………..Everything that Obama has accomplish and achieved thus far………………..IS MORE than any of you WILL ever do in YOUR LIFETIME….

President Obama–(IF not Clinton) 20012 NOT!!!!

Alot of us Democrats in CT voted for Joe Lieberman because he is a true bi-partisan unlike Obama, Kennedy, Pelosi, Judas Richarson, etc. People who criticize Lieberman don't really know him. He votes with the Dems on most issues except the war and national security because this is where the Dem party really misses the boat. The war itself was a mistake, but just withdrawing troops without any regard for the consequences and not realizing the potential damage Iran can do is just plain irresponsible.

Joe is just saying NO to a second Jimmy Carter term, and this Democrat will do so too.

Obama/Carter anyone?

Lieberman is poor excuse for jews & jewish votes!

Lieberman and his group of republican bigots have succeeded in running the United States aground in the guise of chasing WMD's & Saddam in Iraq.

The republicans have created this monster called Iran; and Joe Lieberman wants to join forces with McBush to continue the failed policies of George Dubya in attacking Iran under a false pretense of nuclear WMD's.

Joe Lieberman & John McShame can do the rest of the world a favor by actually carrying out the threat by Hillary Clinton: Obliterate IRAN, and ofcourse, the whole of the Middle East!

that way Republicans can not only rule the United States forever, but the Middle East and take away all their OIL.

WE CAN ALL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!!!

i have supported Obama since before …despite that..i am still a little confused on his stance with Israel…which I am all for protecting to the end…..I need more clarity on his view,his plans, for me to make an informed decision with my vote come this fall.

Dear Jim from New York,

Are you one of those people who blame Israel for 9/11? One of those folks who swear that being friends with Israel is the cause of all of our problems? If we weren't allies with Israel everything would be peachy and our enemies would be our friends? We should blame Israel for all of the awful things that terrorists are doing to us? Give me a break. Jewish voters are "teetering" towards McCain because they don't trust Obama to do what is right for them. Just like many African-Americans who don't often vote Republican because traditionally Republican's don't do what is right for them. Trust me Jim, if you went up to these people and said "Hey, I'm an American, but don't worry…I don't support Israel." They would smile and shoot you in the head. Sorry bud.

Lieberman can't help it.

The betrayal!!!

anyone!

Barack Obama will tell you the truth even when it's not popular. When McCain and Hillary wanted the "tax holiday" that would save us less than $30 during the summer. Barack said that was a gimmic. That wasn't a popular response but it was the truth.

We must have someone in the White House that will tell the people the truth and turn this economy around. Someone that will negotiate with other countries so we can work together.

McCain is a joke. He has off the wall comments about Chelsea Clinton and Janet Reno and his wife. He has no respect for women. He gets confussed about everyting he is talking about. We don't need anymore Bush and Cheney policies.

We must have leader. That leader would be Barack Obama. He will be one of America's greatest Presidents.

Finally, Obama has done something I agree with.

I hope he gave LIEberman a good talking to.

LIEberman has left the Democratic party and I guess his democratic constituency will leave him, now.

McCain is a good man. Obama is a good man.

LIEberman is just oily.

Lieberman is McCain's puppy.
McCain uses him to attack Obama. They spend time together than with their wives….those two strange old bedfellows.

Just too old for America's image that desperately needs revival.

Obama could learn a lot from a wise and trustworthy man like Senator Lieberman , who has some integrity. Obama is a joke. We are heading to hell in a hand basket if he gets elected. And yes, I am voting for McCain and will be very proud to do so.

H-ROD that is so intelligent!!, did you graduate, or just a off the cuff remark. Or have you been so close to him that your face was in the armpit of Lieberman?. What a senselss comment.

I find it very interesting that most of the attacks against Obama in these comments (here and in other ones) are from very ill-informed people. Don't listen to the media. Do your own research and you will see what the other 18 million who voted for Obama saw. We have the power to change the world with our votes. A vote for McCain is a vote for everything we are against right now. We cannot let this moment slip away.
Stop the hatred.
Stop the attacks.
United we stand and divided we fall.
Hillary is a great politician and she deserves to be making a difference Washington.
Obama/Richardson '08
Edwards: Attorney General
Clark: Secretary of Defense
Gore: Secretary of Energy

There's your Dream Ticket

Someone who dares stand against the party machine and actually dare engage his own brain and vote his conscience? How dare Lieb!

Bravo Joe. Lead by example not by following.

I've posted many times on here and your left wing socialists editors have zapped all but 2 of my posts. Apparently if you're not an Obama radical , you're wasting your time. I'm through trying to participate on this website. I am deleting it from my bookmarks.
Good luck with your socialist candidate.

I love it. Everyone says we want bipartisanship, "hands across the aisle", etc. Then, when one of the foremost proponents of this attidute displays his independence and lack of catering to the party that deserted him after years of faithful service speaks his mind, suddenly he is a villan. As far as BO giving Joe a "talking-to" I seriously doubt that this admitedly carismatic novice could hold his own with the Senator.

As far as all of the anti-semitic references - they speak for themselves, and their authors.

Jamie, LA June 15th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Joe—you are so right—Obama is the biggest woos/appeaser in the country—–when he goes to negotiate with Iran they will totally laugh at him—-and why not?—he would only come to them if he was weak–

They'll send him home with a treaty and he'll proclaim "Peace in our time." Six months later we'll be driving our kids to school in armored cars and wearing flak jackets to work—

—————————————————————————–

Can you honestly say this with a straight face??? Look, 9/11 notwithstanding, the United States of America is not an invadable country. There are 70 million of them (Iranians) and 300 million of us - do you honestly think, whether we elect Obama or not - that Iran can put their soldiers in our country? If you do, you are living in some kind of dark, morbid fantasy world.

Dear Sir,

Today our politics is all about money, it has nothing to do with issues, and what is best for America.

Both parties are owned by the donors, and people like McCain are not like in their own parties cause they stand on issues.

Hilary at least has issues she stands for, but Mr Obama is a party person.

He will try to push the United States to be at the mercy of the UN, and he will agree to treaties that no country has meet.

The United States is the only country in the world in which a treaty has focre of law.

Sign a treaty with the UN taking away the voting rights of Americans it and becomes force of law. Treaties can take away our rights.

The United States of America was founded on an ideal that the people should have rights, and the constitution was a limit on government power.

This is no longer the case, how many things do we control and how many are controlled by the government.

Look at Europe my friends and ask the Irish why they do not want to join into a binding agreement with the greater Europe.

When the people get to vote they always vote for freedom and choice, when our elected officials get a vote, they vote for power of the few over the many.

God Bless You

Lie..berman..has been a turn coat now since 2006. This should not be a surprise. He needs to go… Vote him out!

In this world, there are those who put out fires, and there are those who understand that while putting out fires is necessary, it is more important to find and deal with the guy who has the matches. Joe Lieberman falls into the latter category. Many people - including myself - believe that if Iran acquires a nuclear bomb, they will use it in actuality or in blackmail. I just don't understand how the world can listen to the leader of Iran call Israel a "stinking corpse," insist that the Holocaust never happened, insist that Iran has no gays living within its borders, talk about the 12th Iman returning to Earth and how chaos and destruction will hasten that return, etc., and think that this man is not saying exactly what it is he is intending to do. If that day ever comes, ALL OTHER ISSUES (energy shortages, sub-prime mortgages, Social Security & Medicare shortfalls, healthcare, trade deficit, high food prices, global warming, gay marriage, abortion, Guantanamo, illegal immigration, etc.) won't even be on the back burner - they will be completely off the cooktop.
