I'm reading these comments and trying to figure out why the posts are soooo hard on Lieberman. JL votes with over 90% of democrats, JM reaches across the partisan divide ie. Feingold; Kennedy; etc. I will support the center. I don't like ridiculous radical polititions.

do people really listen to john mccain. this man actually said he knows how to catch osama bin laden yet he won't tell bush so we can catch him and get our troops home. this guy is so old and misquided that if he wins we are all going to hell and we will know it.

Joe Lieberman is a snake of the highest proportions. No loyalty. No morals. He is one of the primary reasons we are so entangled in the Middle East.

Lie-berman is a puppet of israel, and is trying to cozy up to McJohn to keep USA funding the middle east trouble maker, israel.
Lets bring back america to the usa.

Lieberman, you are disgusting. How can you challenge the patriotism of a Presidential candidate? You have no business talking about working on both sides of the aisle. You are a turncoat and have shown that you or McCain will NOT work across the aisle. You disgust us.

You Obamers make me sick! If this were anyone praising Obama you would be in total agreement. Grow up, shut up and let the rest of America feel proud that a true American patriot is running for president.

What is wrong with all you Obamanazis? Why are you so brainwashed?

God help us!

I believe I've said this before, but it bears repeating: Joe Lieberman is the most grotesquely shameless political tool to ever darken the doorway of Capitol Hill. His supposedly "independent" status simply means he can prop up whatever policies or officials are most expedient to his interests. Has has never put the US or even Israel first. He has, without fail, placed himself — his material and political gain — at the forefront of his interests.

He represents a cancerous, disingenuous growth on the face of American politics. He should either dig deep — real deep — and find some modicum of human integrity, or retire.

Well, we all know which country ole Joe put's first.

This isn't news, Obama comes first, his anti-American friends come second, maybe his kids come third, then his crazy wife and maybe then it's his SUV or America, not sure!

NoBama 08

Why do we keep listening to this lapdog of the Republicans? Obviously HE keeps putting Lieberman first. Try to pin him down on something. Go ahead. I dare ya. Democrat who supports Republicans? Nothing crazy about that, right PUMAs?

I'm waiting leaders Reid and Pelosi to toss Joe Libermann from the democratic party. What is taking them so long? He needed to go yesterday.

Tom,

We are tired of arrogance and stupidity. We are tired of a President who is proud to say he doesn't read and uses his gut reaction as his means of making a decision. We are tired of cowboy diplomacy, we are tired of lies and cover-ups. We are tired of Bush and we see McCain veering in the same direction.

We are smart enough to laugh at your comparisons of Bush and Obama. Bush's protege is McCain, the guy who said he would continue 95% of Bush's policies.

By the way, nice way to engage in a debate. My head is out and looking around, thank you very much. Where has yours been for the last 8 years?

LIeberman is nothing more than a die hard Israel supporter and will all he can to give to Israel as much money, military equipment and grants and donations as possible. Lieberman should either move to Israel or join the republican party or just leave the country or just shut up for I do not believe anyone even takes him anywhere near faintly serious.

He is big joke and people who elected him are more moron that he do.
How on earth do anyone pay attention to him
It is a Joke, real Joke, when people are loosing their home and Isreal is getting over 3-4billion dollars a year.
-when people can not afford medical
and Isreal is getting free medical shipment every six months and suprus.
we are not even talking about free weapons, and Technology.
Why will this Man not get excited. What do you think? blood sucker

Joe who?

lIBERMAN GET A LIFE. yOU AND mCcAIN SHOULD JOIN COUPLES THERAPY

Lieberman is such an enormous fool. Talk about something important. McCain hasn't always put his country first. He is a self centered political operator, bending over frontwards and backwards to appeal to the Republican factions.

This is the lowest form of politics. Question a man's commitment to his county, and give no example to back it up.

They are appealing to the knee jerk reaction of voters who they hope will put little actual thought into their decision on who to vote for.

Negative tactics like this are all these very sad people have left.

Lieberman, you are clearly a disgrace. Please support your candidate and stop trashing Obama. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Joe Lieberman is a Zionist. He should relocate to Israel and stay there. His allegiance is to them and them alone.
He is no American patriot.

Lieberman and McPlagerize haven't always put the Country first…check thier voting record. McCain can't even put AZ first given that he has yet to show up for work since April 4th. I find McPlagerize's entrance to be a bit Uppity. All he needed was a cape, leotard and a mask. He could be "Super Mcplagerize!!"

lieberrat is an idiot just like the rest of you obama haters. like it or not change is gonna come. you guys are running scared obama will blow you out the water. obama 08

The great Senator Lieberman don't even know what Party he currently belongs to. He is as confused as his old buddy John. Lieberman is dying to be McCain's VP and I certainly wish that his wish comes true.

If Joe Lieberman gets the VP spot, the Republican Conservative base will have a field day when comes November, because they will stay home to show their discontent with McCain, and the Democratic go to the poll by the million. By 10 o'clock P.M on election day, McCain will be delivering his concession speech. Mark my words!

lieberman is so sad. he is not worth reporting on.

PEOPLE VOTE DEMOCRATS AND FOR OBAMA.

Obama has always put Obama first - that is glaringly obvious but it doesn't hurt to say it again and again until this those in this country who still have their heads up their own or Obama's arrogant posterior pull them out and realize that they could destroy our country by putting this inexperienced bumbler in the presidency. If you hate Bush's bumbling mistakes and arrogance, how could you possibly vote for his brother in attitude, Obama?

Schedule the Debates. I'm very very eager to watch Obama be cool as a cucumber and watch McCain blow a fuse. Watch McCain stutter when he gets hung over the fire for lieing.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS IDIOT.

This is coming from a man who switches party like people switch under paints. Jo is a two faced back biting old fool, I sure next year McCain will do something to make him mad he will come back to the Dems.

I have to laugh all the Obama supporters making fun of McCain and his small rallies but yet he is only 4 or 5 points behind him in the polls and Obama draws 75th. Something is wrong with this picture. LOL Lieberman is popular in Florida so he might be able to get the Jewish vote for McCain especially since 90% of them are seniors.

Lieberman the Republican political puppet. Why not the republicans pay for his campaign. He is jewish and will always support attacking arab country or a so called fake surge.

Leiberman is a waste of human skin. His is an old and bitter man.

Come on, CT! Shame the devil and impeach that fool!! He told you he was an independent who would caucus with democrats. HE LIED! I think he's putting HIS on needs before the country's. Wish I lived in CT just to start the ball rolling to impeach that moron.

GO LIEBERMAN! IT NICE TO HAVE YOU BACK ON THE MODERATE LEFT. GO LIEBERMAN!

OBAMA 08

I wish Lieberman had the opportunity to expound on what he meant. What is "not standing with your country"? Opposing the war in Iraq? Reaching out to the world as a leader of this country should do? Being a responsible member of the world community and preferring diplomacy to war rhetoric?

Lieberman's spiel rings hollow as it is not backed up with anything. Just like the posts on these blogs that use all of the right-wing buzzwords: socialist, elitist, un-American, Messiah.

McSame is following Hillary and company to defeat. His campain is as fractured as was Clinton's. His negativity is not straight talk it is just more of the same Republican tripe. Who was the last consultant that he spoke with? It is the position he is now taking. It's beyond flip/flop.

I think Joe Lieberman is a hater. If he is really concerned about this country's economic situation, he would question the McCain's judgement regarding his proposed policies.

Mcshame, Mcsane, Mcbush butt boys.

Redneck4Obama

Lieberman's slavish, knee-jerk support of anything and everything Israel does raises this question: does he always put America first?

In my opinion, no. He puts Israel first.

Shame on this hypocrite neo-con.

John McCain can brag about his 26 years in the Senate but it is a true duck and evade career. Did he propose any of these grandiose programs as a Senator?

He is putting forth a list of promises and dreams that he feels is necessary to spout to rally the faithful so they don't look at his accomplishments and the leadership he did not display during his
26 years at the public trough.

Things younger than John McCain:
Howdy Doody
Area Codes
FM Radio
Peany Butter & Jelly sandwiches
Automatic Car Transmissions
40-Hour Work Week
ALF

I'm leaning towards voting for the presidential candidate NOT endorsed by the worst president in American history.

How does getting captured translate into "tested in war," exactly? The guy got napped and conducted himself honorably. That's not nothing, but it sure ain't experience. And let's not forget that McCain's been losing all the wars he's stood for so far — if we're talking about judgment, yeah, he's been tested - and failed.

JD, did you get that from that contest McCain was having amongst his supporters about who can say nice things about him on blogs?

How cute

Lieberman puts Israel first. He would sacrifice American lives for Israel.

Well, Lieberman should know. He's never failed to put Israel first.

Obama has no allegiance to another country unlike Judas Lieberman who is only concerned about the state of Israel and is willing to put us at risk in order to protect its interests,

It is crazy to say the least that these old men with ancient ideas are given a platform to make noise..

Wow, reading the comments in this column shows that most of the obama supporters are really very racist against jewish people. I'm really sick of the name calling. The only real standup person in this election has been John McCain. He has not used race at any point. I am finding myself turned off more and more by obama and his supporters. Leaning farther to McCain every day.

All of you Obamabots, just tell me one thing Obama has done for his country. And I don't mean talked about doing or taking the credit for what others have done and Obama was along for the ride. Just one thing.

PUMA — Vote McCain

An African American friend once told me that she was ashamed that Condolezza Rice was Black. Now I know exactly how she feels because I am ashamed that Sen. Liebeman is Jewish.

The Jews have a word for someone like him: "Shonda." It means "disgrace."

Virtually no one outside of the state of Connecticut knew who Lieberman was until the Democratic Party nominated him for Vice President. That year, he ran against the Republicans who championed cutting taxes for the rich, ending abortion, privatizing social security, diverting funds from public schools to private ones, and opposing universal health insurance.

And now, eight years after the Republicans ridiculed him as "Joe Loserman" (remember that?), he has become their House Jew.

They need to find a serious contender to run against Lieberman and put him out to pasture.

CNN should put the country first by researching and reporting on both sides of the Georgia conflict and of the foibles of each of the leaders involved. Like the war in Iraq, CNN (and the MSM) are too quick to take the Republican talking points and run with them.

CNN should also be more honest and objective to give credit where credit is due: It is France that is spear heading the diplomatic mission to end the physical conflict in Georgia, the US has little involvement, and to blindly say the the US and "her allies" want Russia out of the G8 and Georgia into NATO is not accurate.

CNN should state who these allies are, that Nato members turned down Georgia's acceptance into NATO and I have found no other G8 country pushing for expelling Russia from the G8.

Two weeks from now I predict CNN will be backtracking on much of what they are reporting now. BBC in Britain and CBC in Canada has much more objective and balanced news.

WOW This is the ONLY place where Lieberman is whorshipped. It IS true …you cannot trust ANYONE anymore.People actually endorse liars and turncoats in this day and age. So much for American HONOR!

ok its been proven now that liberman isnt forobama,, just talks out the side of his mouth,, like mccain and bush do,, so we really need change and obama can do it ,, yes we cannn obama!!!!!

I really wish CNN could put an "age requirement" on allowing people to post here (although there is no way to enforce it). But the point being… it appears many of the people posting on here are about 13 years old and not too bright. And I don't mean to insult the 13 year olds in this world because most of them are probably a lot smarter than some of the dolts posting on here. And unfortunately, many of these posters are Obama supporters. You people flat out scare me… and I'm a Democrat. This November election probably worries me even more than the last two…. because we have NOBODY running this time that deserves the office.
Boy, if there were only a "none of the above" option on the ballot. I suspect "none" would get the majority of the votes…. and maybe then we could get SERIOUS about picking legitimate qualified candidates.

It's too bad Senator McCain lives in the 1950's!

Lieberman is absolutely correct.

Obama has demonstrated that he votes and strategize on popularity vs. his country.

Examples:

1.Obama voted against the surge (Not popular at the time but what was needed for our national security)

2.Drilling, Obama is against it to satisfy the special interest and the very left liberals of his part

3.Obama refused to denounce his mentor, pastor Wright while he said GD to America but when he called Obama a politician he denounced him
I have many many more.

Country above all Mr. Obama.

Nobody rusts or beleives the word of a turn-coat.

And Joe the village idiot put our country first by supporting the debacle in Iraq that has left 4,000 brave soldiers dead, 30,000 brave soldiers injured, 100,000 innocent civilians dead, 2,000,000 refugees, and
$700,000,000,000 taxpayer dollars wasted. What a repulsive excuse for a leader.

Ha… Ha…

The would be dem VP can't even stand the empty suit…

Obama… a JOKE we can all believe in…

McCain/Clinton 08

How come good old MCTrigger happy McWar did not say bomb bomb bomb,Russia afraid of the return nukes, now can everyone see why Iran has need to worry about their security, it is a deterrent…period!! they can't have em then you shouldn't either. Now we are all Georgians,how come he never said we are all Darfurans or Rawandans or Palestenians today!!!!

CNN would not print this anyway the hate the truth!!

Sanity in 08 Vote Obama

Oh he's put country first. Just not this country!

His countries are Sudan and Kenya.

The three mousketeers.

Don't worry. Obama will make it. Democrats will come true and do what is best for the party. I can't wait to see Lieberman out on the street for the way he turned on HIS party…

go away Joe

I have been reading the cnn ticker and other outlets to form my choices for this election year. One thing I have noticed in reading the comments is that Obama supporters are so hateful they impress me as rabid and very off-putting. Is this because the polls are so even and Mr. Obama has such a lack of experience? Add an impotent Democratic dominated Congress in the mix and one would have to be very cautious to consider voting for this party.

im 23 and i live in new jersey and im pro choice and not a republican and ill be voting mccain….why? because obama is an arrogant tool who knows nothing about how to run a government…democrats always bash republicans about how they "ruined this country" well then you all must feel pretty stupid that you cant win an election and you still wont win this year…and it is not because half of america is stupid…its because the democratic party has completely lost touch with the center of the aisle and is now completely left winged loonies (like obama)

mccain 08 country first

You McCain Supporters Can Have Him.

"All we are suggesting is 'the kids think he's dreamy"
This Is What They Do Best!

One…two…three…four…sure are a lot of young white women in this thing….

Why do you think they put so many young white women professing their love for Obama in what is clearly an anti-Obama video? What would possibly be negative about young white women liking Sen. Obama?

When asked, the McCain campaign says they took the video from local news packages, but of course that doesn't explain anything.

- jpt

UPDATE: McCain campaign senior adviser Mark Salter writes to say: "All we are suggesting is 'the kids think he's dreamy. But should he be president?'"

UPDATE 2: Looks like the McCain campaign has taken the video off youtube.

Obama puts Obama first period. The man will do or say anything to get elected, and the zombies that follow him believe everything he says. I would love to ask his supporters questions on key issues, I would bet that most of them couldn't tell you how he voted on anything. The only accomplishment Obama has, is his ability to run for office. He gets elected to one, and starts running for the next one, he has accomplished nothing. If he truly cared about America, he would do his job in the senate, and try to help struggling Americans. Come on Obama supporters name one piece of legislation this man has drafted that has helped Americans.

Lieberman is a lyin' weasel. Let's see some proof Joe - put up or shut up. You know he can't prove this juvenile banter, but I guess it's all they've got.

Joe- you disgust me. You were good once. But now you're just a Republican stooge. They'll use you and then toss you under the bus. Where you belong!

Nothing wrong with standing by Israel.

Great talk.. thats all it is give us all somthing that Obama has done, and don't fall back on that change b.s.

THE ONLY LOYALTIES THESE TWO SLITHERING SLEAZY

MORONS HAVE IS TO THEIR EGOS & POCKET BOOKS.

THEY COULDN'T GET A JOB RUNNING THE KENNEL.

Why don't neo conservatives start war with russiaan federation because they know they will kick their ———–. MCJOE empty noise.as Joe is concerned what do expect from him he lives in USA but serves Israel who runs US foreign policy. Looks like US voters don't realize very small population of US hold everyone in the congress/senate by their ba—-s.

When has Barak Obama not put Barak Obama first?

The guys wants our nation to fail in Iraq and Afganistan, that really says it all. Old Joe is just speaking the obvious about Obama, but facts always seem to p.o most liberal Democrats.

WHO CARES WHAT THAT OLD SENILE HAG HAS TO SAY ??

LIEBERSNAKE IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THAT CORNER.

Obama only has one more step to the left before he is officially a communist.

Wake up, don't drink the kool-aide.

Dandy Job
what a jerk loyal to ypur country is not always following the standard line that is why we are in the mess around the world today we are looked down on and you are part of that problem.

Lieberman will do for McCain what he did for Gore in 2000.

What is either candidate telling us, not much! But my belief is B. H. Obama does not meet the legal requirements to be President from what I have read. He has some excellent ideas as does McCain. But the worst fault I have against BH Obama is that he is not an American but a Muslim and I am afraid we will end up like France.

I guess Joe Liberman is the Senator Vice President Chaney can be pround of after all.

His way of saying black folks ain't patriotic.

McCain is definitely not giving straight talk. He is consistently lying about Obama in an effort to make himself look better. He distorts Obama's message, feeds people soundbites and misinformation, and paints him as an empty suit. That's not straight talk McCain! It's smoke and mirrors. How many of you out there are going to blindly fall for it? Who knows.

Love that positive campaign you're running. Hope you enjoy a long retirement.

Joe, what do you mean when you say Obama does not put country first? I do not understand. Wasn't he too young to fight in Vietnam?
Do the math.

Lieberman is a Republican attack dog. The Democrats should strip him from the Committee leadership position.

Kiss the bus.

This guy is pro Israel..he needs to shut up.

Hi,

If you want to know McCain's foreign policy. Follow the oil lobbyist in
his campaign or his contributors. There's a reason he backs Georgia.
The could been a dictatorship and he would still back him. One of McCain's oil lobbyist is working with the Georgian government.

At least we know, he's consistent with the Bush approach. McCain
knows that we invaded Iraq for oil and maybe to have a presence in the Mideast to protect the oil supply.

The only people dumber than McCain are the people voting for him.

This is pathetic. I'm still trying to figure out two things: 1, why in the world would any person who voted for Hillary now decide to vote for McCain? 2, what makes John McCain qualified to be president? Have I missed something in the last 25 years since he took office or what? The only thing McCain has is ambition-raw, unadulterated, and shameless. And while he trashes Obama, and so many others join him, they need to remember 17 million things: He WON the primary. This is not a fluke. This election is finally about working families who are facing actual hard times, and Obama understands that.

McCain chooses to make light of Obama, and dismiss his supporters, and that's fine. Hillary did the same thing.

Obama 08

@ Steve: "I don't get the Clinton lost - I'm voting McCain mentality…He's Black"

—————————————–
….and you are a sexist. Your stategy is flawed; you can 'white-guilt' us into voting for your candidate.

Also, it's not about wanting McCain. We've had Obama forced down our throats for months now. You, the press, the DNC have all betrayed the democratic party and destroyed it's hope of the White House. All of you need to be told that we will not accept this; the DNC has no right to tell me who to vote for. It appears the Republicans are the only ones who run a fair election for the nominee…so they will get out support for truly running a democratic nomination process.

Seriously Mr Mccain i have this visual of you standing in a boxing ring with skinny, lily white legs,no rear end, little pot belly taking on russia. whose the celebrity now?

Liberman is awful he voted with demoncratic all the time he is sneaky
no more Bush and MCSAME VOTE for Obama

I'm a former Hillary supporter for McCain. Lieberman has it right and McCain is smart to be campaigning with him. Could you imagine Obama in charge of our foreign affairs and handling and emergency situation like what is going on in Georgia? I certainly can't and that's why this democrat will be voting for John McCain. Wake up America and realize Obama was a state legislator only 3 years ago. How in the world do you think he is qualified to be our president???

I'm not going to make fun of the way Lieberman looks, or the age of McCain. I don't have to know that i do not want them leading this country.

But McCain, please, tell me how Obama is not American enough?? Your an adult, explaing your reasons. Just because he doesn't agree with you on all issues does not mean he does not love and support this country.

Because when you say he does not put his country first, then you say the same about me. I do not appreciate that.

She can still win the nomination according to party rules. It's time for change — a change of the supers support over to Hillary.

GET OVER IT!!!

BARACK OBAMA:
Inexperienced
-Unknown
-Unqualified
-Liberal
-Ignorant
-Arrogant
-Radical
-Self-centered
-Poor judgment
-Untested
-Unproven

LOL, are you kidding me? McShame didn't even put his family first. He ran out on his sick wife and kids. Don't make me laugh. What man leaves his family for a bimbo–I guess one without morals and a very large ego.

Obama has had one wife, and one love of his life. He loves this country and will make a great president.

Obama 08, 12

I don't know the blogger names "Tell the truth"

who on August 12th, 2008 4:03 pm ET posted
- - - - - - - - -
John McCain is the one who signed statements denouncing the United States,
- - - - - - - - -
Can someone in the media tell me if this is really true? I'll understand if it was a result of his captivity.

I've always felt calling him a 'war hero' was an overstatement … firemen running into burning buildings are heroes ….

But if it is true did this … his own campaign should immediately put an end to all the "hero" talk.

I think McCain should denounce the statement. That is not what he promised at the beginning of this campaign. Just another flip-flop.

Mr. McSlick. I hate his stupid plastic smile. He's not more or less patriotic than Obama.

He was shot down, give me a break. He signed up for the military, he got shot down, he lived through it thank God, but that's it. No more, no less. This doesn't qualify anyone to be president, never did, never will.

Arizona, please leave the light on for this man. He will not be my president.

McCain always put America first?!?

Is this the same John McCain that has belittled and berated other POW / MIA families when they came to him for help?

The same John McCain who shouted down opposition to his stance on the POW situation in 1992?

The same John McCain who "McCain Bill" in 1989 demolished the "Truth Bill" that would have required investigating into any POW sightings?

John has put HIS America first, his vision….his version. I'd like to see some investigation by the Media into his history with the POW/MIA movement and his legislative history. Everyone seems afraid to look at his temper issues and his chronic problems with insignificant little things like FACTS.

Joe is hanging on because he thinks this is his shot at getting even with the Dems for not reelecting him…no more and no less. Just what we need….two bitter old men in Washington….or should I say, two more.

Lieberman,was a democratic before change independent.
He act more republican,which he just may loose his seat the
next time around. He needs to stop being negative and talk
about local issues,not the war. McCain, promise not to be
negative in the general election and look at him now,everyday
he is negative and news media is helping him. This to me is
believe be because Obama is black,no republican support of
McCain or the media want him elected.Obama, will be a great
president.

Come November when the Democrats win enough senate seats without Lieberman, he will no longer have an relevence. Maybe he and McCain will go off into the sunset and leave everyone alone. He has become a laughing stock.

Lieberman should just go ahead and change his party to Republican.
All respect is lost for him as well as McCain.

Who is Lieberman to judge anyone?

No more Bush. No more McCain. No more republicans.

No more.

Liberman, you will not be elected for another term. You are such a MORON.

Joe wants every American to support Israel but has forgotten that they are occupying the lands of the Palestinians. After all we know where you come from.

He doesn't even put his party first, give me a break. Lieberman changes like the wind.

Understand this, Obama is just as patriotic if not more than John-sell-out McShame. Who else isn't patriotic you McCarthy facists.

Come on now Lieberman…..McWar won't put you on his short list if

you keep talking like that.

WHAT A PAIR OF BOOKENDS……..FRIGGIN LOSERS THE 2 OF THEM

Lieberman will do anything to win an election, even support our enemies by deserting his party.

i think that it is Lieberman who has not put AMERICA first. He has consistently put ISREAL ahead of AMERICAN interests

Standard McCain Event= 20 paid youngsters, and 30 fans.

Why is this man still in public office. Goodness McCain/Lieberman are two grumpy old men suffering from dementia.

I want to hear more about McCains $520 loafers. How many pairs does he own?

I want to hear more about how many 4-star meals McWarmonger and Botox Barbie have had. Or can they not afford to look elitist from one of their 8 homes or their private jet?

I want to hear more about McCain mispronouncing everyone's name and declaring all of us citizens of Georgia (the country - he certainly isn't my president and will never speak for me).

How much more can CNN cover up his gaffes? Is this a relay between FAUX Noise and CNN to see which can push harder to get McCain crowned King to take King W's place?

I want to know.

What is wrong with Joe Lieberman the opportunist? Al Gore should have known better.He should let his yes be yes and no be no and just SHUT UP.

Why is this man still in public office. Goodness McCain/Lieberman are to grumpy old men suffering from dementia.

Now ain't that the kettle calling the pot black…

Lieberman is pro-Israeli NOT pro-American

Are voters so stupid to believe that McCain puts "COUNTRY" before his OWN selfish needs and desires? McCain want's to be President to help his RICH friends get RICHER…. this is the ONLY reason.

Joe Lieberman is a moron. And he has found himself some very good company. Maybe they can go be Georgians together and let the rest of us get on with being Americans.

if i was in peenslviania i wouldnt vote for mccain

And McCain has? I don't think so, he's put the oil companies first and his big business barons. Give me a break.

Joe is a lying man did joe punt Israel first shame on him

What about Songbird McCain? Everybody, the media, the GOP and even the people leave their comments on this website, thay are all talking about Barack Obama.
WHAT ABOUT MCCAIN? Let's talk about his past, let's talk about his secret military records, let's talk about how and why he ditched his first wife, let's talk about his voting record on the vets. Let's talk about his ties with Bush, the good and the bad. Let's talk about his position on the issues?
McCain, I know you need attention. Make this a 'ME' campaign dude. Because right now, all you are talking about is Barack Obama. And you are just looking for stuff to bring him down and it looks like you are reaching

It should be noted that McCain has taken to having a hand selected audience and scripted Q&A sessions a la President Bush now to keep damage to the campaign to a minimum when he can't do things like explain why he switched so many positions.

Tammy From Cleveland, as a Hillary supporter, how can you possibly vote for McCain? What is it that you like about Hillary? Is it just that she is a woman, or is it that she believes in ending this war, fixing the economy, making healthcare affordable for everyone. McCain will do none of that!

If you vote for McCain and he wins, YOUR state will lose more jobs, YOUR gas will cost more, YOUR healthcare premiums will continue to rise… You and all of the other Hillary supporters need to set the emotions aside and use your brain. McCain is a war monger who wants to get us into another Cold War, or worse, a real war with Russia. His top foreign policy advisor is a lobbyist paid by the Georgian government. Haven't you had enough with the wars and our soldiers dying in vain?

Obama and Hillary have nearly identical plans on everything. This election is way too important to let your emotions get the best of you. This is not a popularity contest! We are electing the leader of the free world here.

Lieberman questioning the patriotism of an American. That is ironic!

Lieberman ALWAYS puts Israel ahead of the USA.

Are you kidding me? Lieberman shouldn't be talking. This guy is nuts. I think he is confusing America with Israel. You see, Mr. Lieberman, Obama is running for the president of the United States, not Israel. Therefore, you cannot say that Obama has not always put the country first, because this is the U.S. we care about, NOT ISRAEL!

Mr. Lieberman, it would be so much better if you just leave this great nation and go live in Israel. Don't worry, you'll still get a check. We send Israel enough money, don't we? You have no right to accuse ANYONE of putting any interest before AMERICA. You are a tool for the Zionist cause. Because of people like you, our country has a one-sided policy that promotes apartheid and terror against the Palestinian population. Shame on you Lieberman, you old hobbit.

John McCain seems determined to return the world to the atmosphere of the Cold War. Thousands of S. Ossetians were killed by the Georgians before the Russians rolled in, but Sen. McCain conveniently omits this when trying to stir up pro-Georgian support. The Georgian government is just as culpable as the Kremlin for elevating the conflict.

McCain is now using the Rocky theme like Clinton…Oh my Lord.

The disappointed Clinton supporters are playing right into McCain hands. McCain doesn't care about Clinton supporter or their issues. McCain is just using you for your votes. I understand the Clinton supports are disappointed…but don't be naive to McCain’s alterative motives. MCCAIN DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING WE OBAMA AND CLINTON SUPPORTERS CARE ABOUT OR SUPPORT.

McCain will use you on November 4th and throw you away on November 5th.

Exxon John with another old fool. With Exxon John America will be having another cold war. Even Pat Buchanan said Dick Cheney will look like a dove beside John McCain… Exxon John. PENSYLVANIA is Obama's country. Exxon John wont carry it. NO way. By the way this man Lieberman is playing his hand…He is bound to loose all come nov 4.

Lieberman, you're a two-faced traitor, so what you say = meaningless.

To the people of CT - how can such a great state stand having such a traitor repping you?

STILL WAITING TO SEE BARACK HUSSEIN'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE
WHATS UP CNN
WE THE PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEE THE MAN WHO IS GOING TO LEAD THIS COUNTRY SINCE YOU THE MEDIA CHOSE HIM AND WE THE PEOPLE DID NOT GET TO ELECT HIM

not this jerk Joe Lieberman again talking.

Joe Lieberman always puts his scountry first. The trouble is his country is Israel!

Lieberman and McCain are a great pair. Both too old and both to unethical for serious consideration. Maybe McCain and Lieberman can look into the eyes of Putin and other world leaders and see their souls.

Hey Clinton/McCain, our fine state of Pennsylvania will remain blue if I have anything to say about it. It kills me that a person who at one time supported Hillary would now vote for a politician who is diametrically opposed to everything that she stood for (universal health care, gay rights, right-to-choose, energy, etc. etc.). I understand your anger—hell, if Hillary had won the nomination, I would have seriously considered voting for McCain. But, ultimately, I would have plugged my nose and voted for Hillary, even though her paranoia and "enemies list" mentality is literally Nixonian in scope. And to Clinton/McCain, I have three simple words that I ask you to take into the voting booth with you: Supreme. Court. Nominations.

MCCAIN AND LIBERMAN ARE BOTH ADDLEPATED. MCCAIN TALKS ABOUT SUPPORTING THE TROOPS, YET HE VOTES AGAINST ANY THING FOR VETERANS. AND AS FOR THE TRAITOR LIBERMAN, HE IS STRICTLY PRO ISRAEL ALL THE WAY. EVEN OVER AMERICA.HE IS BUSH'S KISSING POST.

Divide and conquer. That's the name of the game. It has worked well in the past. But not this time. If God is for us who shall be against us. You pick and choose who is patriotic and who is not, God knows the heart of each individual and will judge us better than any human being can. Man sees on the outside but looks on the inside. It is not those that claim patriotism that really live up to it. Anything you love best than God is idol worship. Remeber that. And who has ever seen God but through other human beings. If you don't care so much for one another please don't preach to me about knowing God. For the best way to demonstatre God's love is through service to humanity.

My friends, McCain is a typical politician. He very likely wants people to compare him to Reagan, but he's no Reagan. Let me give you some straight talk… The straight talk express ran off its tracks when McCain secured the Republican nomination. He lost his bearings on his positions. His train flipped, and then flopped toward G.W. Bush and the Big Oil elite, away from the maverick characteristics we had seen from him in 2000.

He doesn't have the right temperement for the job. I don't know what Leiberman stands for besides his support of both Republicans verbally and Democrats financially during this campaign.

Leiberman is the real Judas.
sell out your party in hopes of a nomination

wow does mcbush look like it hurts to smile? that smile is painful to look at.

No matter how hard they try PA is staying blue trust me i live in the Philly region which makes up most of Pennsylvania and theres so much enthusiasm for obama. People who never voted in there life are registering expecially in the urban areas of philly. And also kerry won PA by a narrow margin but he still won even without the strong enthusiasm for him and obama has if not more support from the blue collar voters then did kerry. Lastly if you take a look at PA polls obama is a head by a heafty margin enough so that this state is less a toss up than a lean or likely obama state.

Tell Two Faced Sam Lieberman to to Shut It!

Tammie from Cleveland:

It is a scary time for your Country…not because of the war but your economy and running deficit. Do you think McCain is going to help you with that? What difference is Hillary going to make as a VP?

Some of you people are just prejudice or ignorant…sometimes both.

This coming from a man whose sole purpose in life is to stay politically connected to ensure the interests of Israe–including their huge annual allowance for defense (gratis the U.S. taxpayer).

Three thousand, whew! That is impressive until you remember that Sen. Obama averages something like 10,000 attendees. Still, when you're 96 like Sen. McCain; the 'ol eyeballs get a tad blurry. Hang in there John, your quad focals ought to be arriving any day now.

Ken - I'd be more afraid of Chinese dominance in SE Asia than Russain dominance there.

Additionally, I believe it was Barack Obama who voted for Big Oil tax breaks. He also opposed the $135 billion GIFT to Boeing and saved the American tax payer billions of dollars by forcing the Air Force to open rebidding. Sen. Obama did nothing.

So, who is in the pocket of corporate America?

Responding to a former Hillary Clinton supporter who asked what McCain will do for younger Americans, McCain said: “I'll give you straight talk. I need to do a better job with young voters in America.”

McCain said: "I'll give you strait talk." What was he telling us before about the invasion of Iraq, the pursuit of Obama Bin Ladin , Social Security, gas prices and the economy!

I do not need anymore "strait talk," it is time for a change!

In Berlin Obama spoke about "the country I love so much".
What must Barack do to be elected? Turn white?

oh, ok, let's talk about not putting country first:

Has Obama ever helped create 32 anti american propoganda films for an enemy of the country? Answer, no. Has John McCain? Answer is YES!

As if making one wasn't enough, he followed the first one up with 31 more propoganda films to aid the veitnam government. Now we know how he spent his time in Vietnam, certainly not serving america.

-Betrayed His sick wife
-Betrayed His country
-Betrayed all veterans voting down their benefi
-Betrayed all of america, voting in line with Bush 95% of the time
-Betrayed blue collar workers selling their jobs off to foreign countries

McCain: Not what we want for OUR america.

McCain just wants to be president because he certainly has nothing to offer moving into the 21st century. I wouldn't trust McCain to help my grandmother cross the street because he's older than her.

And the only way to put your country first is to attack every nation that doesn't agree with you. Who do you think you are Mr. Lieberman? Has God made you the judge over all other people and nations? Is that what you live for? To talk tough to any other nation that does not agree with the way you operate? Other countries of the world are sovereign and you just can't tell them what to do and how to conduct their business. This notion is why we haven't made any head way with Zimbabwean president Mugabe. If we can't do that with a third world country what made you think you talk down on Russia, a once upon a time world power. Go get a life. You actually need it.

What happened to Lieberman's promise that he wouldn't attack Obama on policy but would only speak positively about McCain? Firgures…say one thing and do the opposite

The truth hurts! I don't always like Joe Lieberman but at least he speaks up what he believes! Not like Obama who changes his opinions on every issue he has made to the public

I think it is ironic and downright funny that this of all things would come from Leiberman of all people. Sometimes I cannot help but wonder whether his loyalty is to us or to Isreal? Does he support the war for America's sake or does he secretly like the idea of 150,000 US troups in between Isreal and Iran? My instincts would tragically suggest the latter which implies that he is content using our kids as cannon fodder for his "other" country.

Start a war with Russia. Way to go John It only took decades to get rid of the cold war and John wants it back WARMONGER

McCain doesn't do well with many younger voters because they Google his "facts" and find out they are lies, learned practically from infancy not to believe every anonymous e-mail they receive, and see all of his gaffes, missteps, blunders and "senior moments" on YouTube. Ain't technology grand?

Leiberman: if you can't say anything nice, don't say anythng at all.

Right!

Obama is just a patronage, lean, mean, machine politician who wants to change America to fit his redistribution of $ ideology!

Obama whips up anger and the old victim/guilt mode of the American people that he thinks are too stupid to catch on and then casts himself as their savior!

Idolatry is evil America! Don't vote for the American media made idol! His grin is too shallow for a win.

Vote for the authentic American hero! McCain 08!

Tammie from Cleveland……..you just don't make sense. You need to answer the question about why you would vote for Hillary Clinton versus John McCain. Tell me the answer to that question and then tell me why you would vote for McCain over Obama. This is very serious… Do you want someone in charge that joked about bombing Iran, does not want our troops out of Iraq, does not know what to do about Afghanistan, is now threatening Russia.

And this is just foreign policy. His economic adviser is responsible for the Enron debacle, he wants to give more tax breaks to big companies, he is for NAFTA and CAFTA, he supports tax breaks for companies that ship jobs abroad. He supports 95% of the Bush policies. He is taking money from big oil companies. Do I need to go on.

And you are going to vote for him because Hillary wasn't the democratic nominee. Even though Obama's policies are very similar to Hillary's.

Remember that people died so that you as a female can vote. Please don't use that privilege frivously. Thank you.

"If Hillary is on as V.P. I will vote for Obama otherwise I will vote for McCain."

What qualifies Hillary to be VP? Total failure to manage her campaign?

If you're going to vote for McCain, vote for McCain. Don't be a lying weasel.

Which country does Lieberman puts first?

For some reason I didn't get the impression that it was USA

Lieberman better get use to having some free time on his hands. Once the Dems get a larger control in the Senate, Lieberman will be out of every important committee he belongs too.

I often said that Gore lost because he put Lieberman on the ticket.

CNN please let all of the Blogs through, not just the ones set for your corporate agenda. And hey there Lieberman, did you mean America first, or what's important to the Jewish community. And hey Tammie, is Hillary that important? Can you honestly hold out for a family that was impeached from the white house just eight years ago? Good old America, send us your weak, send us your illiterate, and we will place them all on CNN. Go to MSNBC for the real news!

I'm a former CT native and big Lieberman fan. I love his independence and willingness to put partisanship aside - something Obama has never done. The crazy libs up there pushed him out of the party, but he came back and won when all the people in the state got their say. The far left of the party has a knack of getting candidates nominated who are far to liberal for middle America to take.

beevee, funny how I'm about to say the same thing about Lie..berman but I gave you the credit. As for McCain he is puting his lobbyist first, then his country.

BO supporters are so affraid because they know well that THE ONE is a powder keg, just waiting to explode!!!!!

Leiberman always puts his country first….it's just too bad that his country is Israel, not the US.

Unfortunately, Joe's got a problem understanding that you don't have to be a Zionist to be Jewish.

It's been ALMOST 3 DAYS + WKNDS that McCain has the whole United States to himself to campaign; yet he is still struggling in the polls….this old hag has not gone beyond 43%!

With all his fabricated war records and with Lieberman spouting IGNORANCE; why can't John McSame be leading in the polls?

Sorry old fellas; this is not the time of fear mongering and lying to win an election. The of repugs is over….

Lieberman is just trying to be the next Zel Miller. It goes to show that OBAMA is so strong a candidate that they have to resort to lies, not distortions, but lies about his record.

I bet if you pressed Libel-man to provide evidence of what he stated, he could not produce one shred of evidence to back up his claim.

Lets see there was Rep. Gordon Smith from OR, Chuck Hagel, Jim Leech of Iowa and Dick Lugar. I guess these guys aren't Repugnant enough for Joe.

How do you prove that someone doesn't put their country first? I've never understood that claim.

McSame jumped on the Russia issue to show how tough he was but the only problem is that we don't have a military to fight another war while still in Iraq. So all he is doing is bluffing and Putin knows this.

There is no way in heck the US will retaliate against Russia. They have nukes too.

I am so OVER Joe Lieberman. He is truly a man without a party. If people think for one moment that his liberal social beliefs are embraced within the Republican party, they are as out of touch as he is! What is it about today's political environment that morphs maverick into nutcake overnight?

LIEberman is trying his best to get the VP spot or something in McCain's cabinet. What a brown noser! Maybe he can put a chair right beside McCains in the Oval office and whisper him the correct answers for everything, or maybe they can talk on walkie talkies.

Wisdom is something that comes with age which I don't think from the amount of Mr.Magoos and Elmer fuds in these comments is very common in this venue. Older people have made the mistakes that young whipper snappers haven't thought of yet. Stop look and listen is what they used to say about crossing the train tracks. It would be wise if people would make the same decisions when it comes to picking a president.

I want you all to forget about your party affiliation for a moment and think about this
Question for Mc Cain: What will you do for younger Americans,

Answer McCain said: “I'll give you straight talk. I need to do a better job with young voters in America.”

seriously what kind of an answer is that, "young voters in America" this is not about votes but what do you have instore for young American whether they are voters or not issues that affect us young Americans not votes that is what we want to hear Mc Cain start talking our langauge, it is not about you is also about the future leaders

lieberman is a joke. no one except mccain takes him seriously.

TO TAMMIE FROM CLEVELAND:

READ YOUR FACTS BEFORE SPEAKING…I'VE READ YOUR OTHER BLOGS AND YOU MY DEAR ARE OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE FACTS….RESEARCH BEFORE YOU BLOG…MCCAIN IS THE "KING" OF FLIPFLOPS, PLUS HE READS EVERY WORD HE SPEAKS…AND BESIDES….HE IS BORING TO LISTEN TO….

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE DEBATES WHEN OBAMA EATS MCCAIN ALIVE….

OBAMA O8

Please, oh please Senator McCain…Please pick Lieberman as your running loser.

Who gives a darn what Leiberman thinks these old guys need to go home and retire on the front porch. the RNC is such a dirty group of old farts including McCain.

Don't know why Lieberman is grinding an axe against the Democrats; it's OK to question a person's policy decisions, but when you start to question their patriotism, that's when you've climbed into the gutter
