I felt Lieberman had gone over to the Republican side some time ago. I guess this shows it. Time to move his desk across the aisle. Oh and find a good Democrat to replace him when he stands for election.

So basically McCain and Obama supporters are just making things up to post at this point… Kind of sad.

This would be the seal of death for McCain to choose him. Liberman is not a republican. And he's not a democrat. No one can trust him on either side of the aisle.

Joe Lieberman (I)….when he says "put country first" he's talking about putting Israel first…he's a Mossad agent in your government….you have the Connecticut republicans to thank for him still being in office.

that sad little man has already engaged in mudslinging against sen obama. Please don't tell me he's senile too!

I hope the mcwar selects lieberman to be his running mate. they will make the perfect pair.

I wonder what night Hillary and Bill are speaking?

Now I know I will NOT watch this convention at all!

Traitor? What happened to the importance of being bi-partisian? You libs should think about how Joe vote, why and who really abandend whom.

Let him sing songs from Yentl to McCain

"Papa, can you hear me?"

Country before party? How is that? By supporting the guy who says he doesn't know the economy—the number one problem in this country? The guy who hired Carly Fiorina and Phil Gramm as his advisers?

The one who is willing to stay in Iraq? Go after Iran? And send UN troops to Georgia (oh yeah, the country one of his top advisors lobbies for)?

Did you guys vote for Bush in 2000? How about in 2004 after his true colors came out?

And aren't you the same guys who were ticked at Chuck Hagel when he went to the Middle East with Obama?? I guess bipartisanship is good only under certain conditions.

Zell Miller irrelevance.

Nobody likes a turncoat. People use traitors, but they don't trust or respect them afterwards. What happened to Zell Miller afte rthe '04 RNC convention? Nothing. Nothing at all.

Soon as the Democrats get 1-2 more Senators into the Senate, Lieberman is out. And he'll definitely be out next time he's up for reelection.

Hey, Conneticut, are you guys re-electing this guy next go around?…Seems like you're not getting your money's worth. He's missed more Senate days than McCain and Obama and he's not running for Preseident. It like he's playing hookie from School.

Sheep under a wolf will favour Bush ( sorry Mccbush)

He bought a chairman position for $115,000.00 he contributed to the demo.

Go Alf Go

As I read these comments I realize why I do not connect with democrats, they always preach tolerance but are very ignorant. Lieberman was elected by his constituents not the Democratic Party. One could argue that Arnold is a democrat in disguise. The nation (both parties) need to work together. The American people must accept who wins by the majority and then move on and work together instead of the constant whining. Mc Cain and Lieberman are trying to show how it can be achieved. Chill out and work together.

Lieberman was NEVER a good or true Democrat. He is not an Independant either.

It is time for this two-faced loser to tell it like it is. HE IS A REPUBLICAN, a Bush brown-noser and hungry for the V.P. slot.

Should McCain pick him, as I hope he will, Lieberman will NEVER get the Jewish or Independent vote, as people see him as he really is…a liar and hypocrite!

The hollier than thou Judas Lieberman will have his 15 mn of glory. I just hope that the Convention does not fall on the Sabbath, that would be a bummer.

Wow thats impressive maybe he will help McCain lose like he did Gore?

Why has liberman not switched to republican im praying mccain picks him as vp so rush limbaugh will go into cardiac arrest!!!!!!!!!!!!

Despite the best efforts of the back stabbing Dumb-o-crats to oust Lieberman, he still won his Senate seat as an Independent. Maybe he is just smarter than most of them and sees the importance of protecting our nation….Change….the only thing left of your paycheck if Obama wins (Socialist)…

"I would just like to take a moment, after being seriously sickened by reading about Georgia, Russia and Poland, and personally thank all the Hillary supporters voting for McCain.

Being an ex-republican I am absolutely DISGUSTED with the direction this country is going, but I have come to the realization that a country like ours is only as good as those people who are willing to be civically responsible.

So thank you PUMA and Clinton/ McCain backers for the onslaught on WW III, economic depression and marshall law. I realize of course, that I am a bit premature in my gratitude but I have every confidence if any ignorant selfish people could pull off completely destroying this country and democracy it will be you.

Hats off to the misguided, uniformed and just don't give a darn population!!! Putin, Iran, and Osama are counting on you!"

From No More! Aug 20……..I completely agree

Kick the rat out!!

He's not the traitor…the Democratic party here in CT was the traitor to him, after all of his years of wonderful service to CT in the senate. It certainly wouldn't have been good for our state if one of the most powerful men in the senate went down to Ned Lamont, and the interference of national democratic powers in our state election for the senate on behalf of Lamont was obviously NOT appreciated here.

Lieberman is a man of principle who is beyond partisan foolishness. We need more people like him in Washington.

Lieberman is just hoping to get the VP slot so he doesn't have to get disgraced by being kicked out of the Senate by the voters in CT. When he lost the primary to Ned Lamont, Lieberman realized he had to shift to the left, and did so for the general election. Now, here is he supporting John McCain, a man who will endanger Israel by inflaming the Middle East further, a man who will end Roe v Wade through Judicial appointments (a measure Lieberman claims to support), a man who's tax cuts will disproportionately favor the richest Americans (again, something Lieberman claims to oppose).
Better hope McCain has a VP seat for you Joe. Otherwise, I think you may be burning whatever bridges you have left in strongly Democratic CT.

bye bye Benedict Arnold.

Isn't it pitiful to watch little Joe chasing after McCain like a puppy dog. I guess Joe is short of friends these days.

Someone mentioned work in the Senate. McCain hasn't been to the Senate floor in four months and Joe is in and out, mostly out chasing after McCain.

People who vote party even when they know their candidate isn't the best are the traitors. Lieberman is putting America before party.

Why don't he become a repablicasn? Next year we don't need him we will be the majority one.

Yet another guy who has been in public "service" for 20 years.

Judas (Liberman) is going to speak …. who cares what he says … what a flip flopper he is…. I am so happy he is not apart of my party!

Obama 08 …. hey move on is giving out Free Obama buttons and for a few dollars you can get a ton:

Thanks!

CNN are you going to post this on the blog and spread the word?

It could only be better if Rush Limbaugh spoke right after him. My guess is that Joe will do as much for the RNC as he did for Al Gore.

what a little weasel

Aren't we all Americans you Liberal Jackazzez. Traitor is a very strong word and should only be used in it's true form, but in the anything goes world of Liberalism, say what you please without consequences. Let the Soap Oprah end.

Wasn't he supposed to be John Mccains prick for VP?

Poor Liberman, he's like an orphan little boy begging for attention. Confused and disconsolate. Where will the wind blow him next when Mccain loses in November?

Why all the animosity? As I read these comments I realize why I do not connect with democrats, they always preach tolerance but are very ignorant. Lieberman was elected by his constituents not the Democratic Party. One could argue that Arnold is a democrat in disguise. The nation (both parties) need to work together. The American people must accept who wins by the majority and then move on and work together instead of the constant whining. Mc Cain and Lieberman are trying to show how it can be achieved. Chill out and work together.

Lieberman=Snake (a very dark poisonous snake)
Repubs and Democrats- Beware

Funny….the only ones who care about Joe is the Republicans. After his choices in the last year or so…… I hope John McCain will have something in his cabinet for the sen. from Conn. I am going to guess that Joe will have great difficulty keeping his Senate seat in the future.

"The question is starting to feel a little old: Who will MCCAIN pick as his vice president? " All the BUZZZZZZ…………………..thanks to CNN

As much as I can't stomach Joe and his position on Iraq, at least he's not afraid to break party lines. Screw the two-party system!

Lieberman to Republicans:

"We need to elect John McCain, so that the US will bomb Iran or allow Israel to bomb Iran to preserve Israel's supremacy in the Middle East. I know more Americans will die, but Israel is more important than American lives".

Can we officually cut this yahoo out of the Democratic party now? I mean what more does this guy have to do!!!!!!!

don't like him

I dont necessarily agree with the senator but last I heard he is still an american and he certainly has the right to support any candidate he chooses.

Nice job, CNN! You got the city where the RNC will be held correct this time.

Lieberman is an old white guy who cant stand to see black men in the same position as himself, or at higher levels but to save face, he's short of becoming a Republican. His comments are useless considering he doesnt even know where he stands on issues – come on man, are you democrat, are you independent, are you republican, or is it all based on who rubbed you right the night before.

I don't support McCain, but Lieberman is no traitor. It's like he says, folks: get past partisanship so we can some things done. Competent governance of this country has been paralyzed since Ronald Reagan let the rabid right out of its cage 30 years ago. We need to put loyalty to the country's needs and goals above loyalty to ideology — which most politicians have talked about but few do. Lieberman is one who does and should be admired for his courage and example, not vilified for not toeing a party line.

BOOORING! Joe talks like he has a hot potato in his mouth. Who wants to listen to him? I do have to say, he fits so well with the group of Rs, old, boring, males showbiz and two faces politicians.

Joe is not acting like a congressman. He should be citing with his own party, the democrats on issues. But he choose to act in the best interest of the country to elect a man with experience ready to lead. Obviously he is less concerned about chairmanship and more concerned about our country's future. Joe is not acting like a regular congressman.

The Democrats are going to lose in 2008…. vote Cynthia instead!!!

Wow…he is a snakey guy, he will never be able to further his career with betrayal like this…republicans won't even take him seriously after this election…he doesn't bring over liberals or anything…he is a nobody

who cares if he speaks???

Really…….he hasn't helped the Democrats with getting any President Elected……if anything, he hurts the Democrats with his support.

So I say, support the Republicans! That way, they are guaranteed to lose!

And I second the comments of Maggie Muggins.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

DEMOCRATS PLEASE TURN OUT TO VOTE THIS FALL TO INCREASE OUR SENATE MAJORITY TO GREATER THAN 60 VOTES!!

WE MUST STRIP THIS PERSON OF ANY DEMOCRATIC AUTHORITY.

IF HE WANTS TO SUPPORT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, HE SHOULD BE A REPUBLICAN.

THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP IS HELD HOSTAGE BY THIS MAN BECAUSE OF THE 1 VOTE MAJORITY.

There's a reason Joe's last name begins with "LIE*****".

Keep him.

He's a terrible speaker so they deserve him. That tired voice of his puts me to sleep.

Lieberman will talk about the same things McCain talks about so if you should miss his speech just catch it when McCain speaks.

iT'S CALLED BIPARTISANSHIP………..AND I LOVE IT!

McAlzhiemer's needs Lieberman to tell him who we are fighting in Iraq, and to tell him which countries are still around.

Hey Democrats, please keep Joe. We Republicans don't need his help.

I totally agree with Denise..what is he waiting for?

Joe, I hope you have a nice hole to crawl into come January, because you won't have any more committee responsibility, that's for sure! Don't come to NH, "my friend"….you and the other wrinkly white-haired guy make good book-ends for the Library of Lies!!!

One down and counting. McSame will be Joe's next take down. Go get him Joe. Who in the world loves a Judas? How sad it must be to be in a place where you don't fit in. You better hope that McSame takes you under his wing because you could not a turtles race. It's over for you Joe Iscariot.
Obama08

To paraphrase VP Darth Cheney, "SO".

Anything he has to say is unimportant, anyway.

Once again you democrats show what shallow hypocrites you are. When Lieberman was selected as Al "The Idiot" Gore's running mate he was the greatest thing to ever grace the planet. Now…..under the bus!

The people of CT shoud be ashamed we let this man represent us. I never voted for him but those that did should be ashamed. He is a turn coat, a liar, a manipulator and a power hungry opportunist. I hope he does run with McCain so they can both get the boot.

Lieberman is going to disappear into history as a man who once was respected and turned himself into a figure that neither Democrats or Republicans will have any use for.

Good News

Senitor Lieberman, please help Senitor McCain gets elected.

At this CRITICAL TIME, we CANNOT AFFORT to have a DANGEROUS, WEAK, SCARRY, INEXPERIENCED president. Obama should learn more from he real world before trying to be a president of the U.S. I know his ambition is BIG AND HE'S SO EAGER TO BE THE PRESIDENT.

McCain 08 – Clinton 12

Ahh, the democratic voters in Connecticut must be so proud.

As a life – long Democrat, it is hard to understand this. But, hey, I wish him the best of luck and hope he finds what he is looking for. The only people he really needs to satisfy are those that voted for him in his home state. For myself, what Bill Richardson did to Hillary and continues to say about Hillary is 100 times worse than what Joe is doing.

DEMOCRATIC or REPUBLICAN, .DEMOCRATIC or REPUBLICAN, .DEMOCRATIC or REPUBLICAN……WHAT WILL HE BE NEXT WEEK, NEXT MONTH, NEXT YEAR, NEXT ELECTION…….ops…..flip that coin and he will be a ??????………..

LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE FLIP FLOP CONVENTION……..

Welcome to the "right" side.

Great for McCain—
Independents is what we are looking for—
By the Way—It was the Dem Party that were traitors to Lieberman—
He still votes mostly with the DEMS and is an honorable man–
He had to go Independent to win his seat because his own party supported someone else–
He's just supporting the best Man for President–
In his mind I think that is clear–

Keep putting up ultra liberals like Gore and Obama and us Moderates will keep sending them packing.

A false-flag patriot.

Remember 2006 election
DNC ignored Lieberman but he came back
Same mistake DNC doing in 2008 but this time Hillary
Clintons are Democratic party Icon
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

When you said Obama do not like America you just did not talk about Obama you said it to all 20 million people that vote to for him . You silly mad man stop making acusation about us just say the trout abot yourself that do not know anything abot the leadership accept the WAR

When they say Lieberman will be speaking at the convention, what they mean is that he will be whispering in McCain's ear every time the old warmonger misspeaks.

It is good for Lieberman to contribute to the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee. I don't think that will help him much should the Democrats gain a larger majority after November (I'm talking having over 61 seats) without him. I think that he would lose the chairmenships that he has now.

Honestly, it wouldn't have hurt Lieberman to keep his mouth shut for a while, would it? I guess he could have said that he wouldn't endorse Obama and liked McCain more. To campaign for McCain and speak at the Republican convention, that is a little too far to take it. I know that he is a real war-hawk, but this is taking it too far.

TRAITOR

Whats left in your wallet after eight years of pillaging Republicans?

McCain was the man, but not any more. Lieberman was a man, but not any more.
McCain/Liberman 2008 is doomed.

I can't stand Joe Leiberman for so many reasons. I hope McCain pics him as his running mate because that will seal their fate and hand the election to Obama on a silver platter.

And THAT would make me one happy American voter.

Ooops! I meant:

Midwest-Define what a Socialist is, please? I hear this said about Obama and Dems, but I don't many people actually know what it means. Please enlighten us.

This creep has the personality of a pet rock.

Joe Lieberman was the Democrats nominee but refused submit to their ideology on the war. The Democrats abondoned Lieberman just like they want to abandon our soldiers and Iraqis. The Democrats and Obama have no honor. Lieberman saw the light!!!!

The Democrats are the closed minded ones, unwilling to hear opposing points of view. That is why their leadership will always be short-lived and doomed. Arrogance!!!!

Define Socialist

Well, I am not sure under what context Joe is called a traitor, I don't think he is a traitor in the "un-American" definitiion, but he certainly is a liar and a hypocrate, when all he has been doing for the past two months is slinging mud at Obama, while he is busy whispering in McCain's ear. Si his statemnt about his speech at the Repub convention reeks of lies.

Liberman's only interest is Isreal. McCain and the G.O.P. should be able to smell this One!

Democrat – independent – leaning Republican. Ouch! Joe has no base!

Go ahead and put the R at the end of your name Joe! we know you still vote a lot for the Dem side but we can just say you're a "moderate" GOP. What does it really matter? This is a big show and the two party system is a show meant to keep us off kilter anyway. Whoever gets in does nothing to help. We go toward the cliff at either 35 mph or 65 mph. Both candidates will increase our debt to the illegal Federal Reserve.

Lieberman is an honorable man with conviction.

I know that the democrats do not think much of him and drummed him out of the democratic party. But in reality, the democratic party has left him.

The democratic party of today is no longer the moderate democratic party of JFK with vision, it has become the socialist party of Pelosi, Reid, Dean and Obama.

I may not aggree with his politics, but he will make and excellant Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense in the McCain administration.

Cool. A Democrat speaking at the Republican convention. And Hillary supporters saying they will vote for McCain, well not all of them, but the really angry ones. McCain has united his party and is pulling in independents and Democrats as he contiunes to move up in the polls.

And you have Obama and Hillary supporters acting like repelling magnets. Both are drawn to their canditates of choice and repulsed by each other. The cellebration of being the first party to nominate either a female or African American for President has devolved into a deep emotional divide.

I feel like I woke up this morning into an alternate universe, it actually looks like the Republican party is better at embracing diversity than the Democrats.

Liberman is a born loser, a closet Republican, let the neocons have him. That sucking sound we will all hear this November will be Liberman and the neo-cons going down the drain.

I do not undersand how can a people of most developed country, with most, at least high school degree, not have any understanding of basic concept of what's bad and what's good for them. I am stounded on the fact that still more than 40% of people are planning to vote for the same administration that's running the counrty now. I don't know what''s blinding these people-is it faith or is it loyalty, or is it plain dumbness?

American Government is not just for America. It's every action affects the entire world we live in. World is looking up to Americans to make responsible decision this time around. You can't get it wrong third times in a row- that's not even option this time.

As it is always true, government is the reflection of the people that elected it. Hopefully America with get it right this time.

I won't say who to vote, but if you can't figure this out by now, I have grave doubt you should even be voting.

God Bless America

WELL 10+ REPUBLICAN SENATORS WILL NOT BE PRESENT AT THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION AS THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE SEEN AS SUPPORTING BUSH/MCSHAME. AS FAR AS LIEBERMAN GOES HE IS A ONE AGENDA PERSON LIKE MC CAIN. MC CAIN AGENDA IS WAR ,WAR,W WAR, AND MORE WARS. NOW LIEBERMAN WHO HOLDS DUAL CITIZENSHIP ISRAEL AND U S WELL WE ALL KNOW WHERE HE IS COMING FROM. HE IS A LOBBYISTS FOR ISRAEL WHILE BEING A SENATOR .
BOTHE OF THESE PEOPLE ARE VERY DANGEROUS. THEY LOVE WARS. THEY AND THEIR FRIENDS MAKE MILLIONS OFF WARS. BUT THEY NEVER FIGHT THEM. LIEBERMAN,CHENEY, ROVE, BUSH ,PERLE,WOLFOWITZ HAVE NEVER FOUGHT IN A WAR. THEY PULL THE STRINGS. WAKE UP AMERICA. IT'S YOUR COUNTRY TOO. I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST MC.CAIN THAT HE WOULD START THE DRAFT AGAIN TO FIGHT HIS NEW WARS WITH RUSSIA AND IRAN, PLUS IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.

Until O-Bambi learns how to attack someone effectively, he will lose.

O-Bambi, STOP BEING A WIMP!!!

At one time, this man was a great moderate Democrat. I supported him in the 2004 primary and in the 2006 primary and general election. But by supporting a man who wants to make Bush's tax cuts permanent, have a right wing supreme court, privatize Social Security, roll back labor guarantees, etc. – and to do so so vigorously – is just beyond the pale.

In 2009, his committee chair will be gone and by 2013, he'll be a goner. The People of Ct. love Joe the moderate Democrat and even Joe the Independent, but not Joe the apologist for failed Bush policies.

He's not as bad as Zell Miller, but he's getting there fast.

I do not undersand how can a people of most developed country, with most, at least high school degree, not have any understanding of basic concept of what's bad and what's good for them. I am stounded on the fact that still more than 40% of people are planning to vote for the same administration that's running the counrty now. I don't know what''s blinding these people-is it faith or is it loyalty, or is it plain dumbness?

As it is always true, government is the reflection of the people that elected it. Hopefully America with get it right this time.

I won't say who to vote, but if you can't figure this out by now, I have a grave doubt you should even be voting.

God Bless America

Why isn't this hypocrite removed from his committees and the Democratic caucus?
The Republicans are really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

I wouldn't be upset if he ran with McCain. The best thing that could happen to the DNC is for Lieberman to align with the Republicans. All the more reason to vote for Obama.

as he helped Gore in 2000
he will help Mcbush in 2008

I'm not sure that it'll work to have Lieberman as VP if McCain is looking to make himself appear more independant and bi-partisan. I think if Biden is Obama's VP, the bi-partisan thing will last one day before he calls Lieberman out as a traitor. Interesting angle that McCain is playing as he spent Saturday pandering to conservative Christians saying he is a "anti-abortion president" when he picks a pro-choice VP. It's a risky move, could produce news but I believe it'll ultimately blow up in his face…

He is more Republican than Republican

I used to really like Lieberman–and I still respect his entitlement to his own opinions. But if he is choosing to stand so vocally for someone who wants prayer in schools, tax cuts for the wealthy, no education incentives for our soldiers, a world of war and an overturned Roe v Wade, then he should stop playing the Democrat card. Period. Declare your official affiliation with the neocon party, Mr. Lieberman. You can't have both.

flip flopper embraced by republicans.

Joe Lieberman has more integrity than most others in the Senate and is not a traitor. The MoveOn wing of the Democratic party is the traitor here. It was these folks who threw Joe under a bus in favor of Ned Lamont, all over ONE issue.

TRAITOR

ch – They voted for him because he is sick and tired of the liberals and knows that they have destroyed his party with their liberal agenda. You may as well call it the "Demeral" party. Or how about "Demerol"?

Carville was wrong; Joe is the real Judas Iscariot. He should just come out and change parties, since he is a de facto Republican – after the election, of course.

Please McCain pick him for your VP. It worked so well for Gore.

Why does'nt Lieberman switch parties and declare himself as a Republican instead of remaining as Independent-Democrat and sucking up to McCain. At least then people will know who he really is. A chemeleon.

CNN why do you give this guy any air time.

People vote Democrats and Obama only; so we can get our country back from the likes of lieberman and republications.

for those who say Lieberman should just call himself a republican, I have to ask if you know a thing about him. He is not a republican. Independant is pretty accurate, as he is fairly moderate and not in the mainstream of either party, but he is in fact liberal. That doesn't make him a democrat and obviously not a republican. Maybe he sees that Obama is extremely polarizing, doesn't work with people who don't agree with him and they have stark foreign policy disagreements. Lieberman and McCain have made their careers so successful and honorable by working with people they disagree with and are of different parties. The day I see Obama do that, the planets will be in line.

I'll say it again………TRAITOR

Way to go Turncoat Joe!

Republican senators won't even show up for the event and Lieberman is going to give a speech? As soon as the Dems get a wider majority in the senate he can just go ahead and switch parties. Good riddance. I wonder if those Dems that voted for him last election, even though he switched to Independent, feel betrayed. I doubt he will win again, maybe he will be McCains VP pick and then he won't need to run again.

I guess he would fit the bill as their token democrat.

Lieberman,McCain, Cheney, Rumsfield=Bush= Traitors.

What difference does speaking at this convention make? Is that news?
He has been speaking for the repuks for 2 years, and I am not even sure he wasn't speaking for republicans when he was running as vp.

God Bless America

I have never supported Lieberman. In 1988, he ran for the Senate and won against Republican Lowell Weicker, claiming that Weicker was too liberal. That should have been a sign of what we are seeing now from Lieberman.

Obama is a socialist because Lieberman is speaking for the GOP? What? How do you explain Hagel? Oh wait, its not the simple.

Gee, I was hoping he'll be on the ticket.

Ah there is nothing that the DNC hates more than to have an American stand up for themselves and not blindly and mindlessly follow their lead.

NevadaPundit

What a loser!!! Instead of calling it the "Republican Conventiion", they should call it the "Republiliberal Convention"…

You got more flip-floppers in that convention than the entire history of our country….

Joe Lieberman is one standup guy you can count on to do what is right for America. All you mudslingers like to badmouth Joe but he is a better American than you! Good for you Joe Lieberman!

Suprise?

They are peas in the pod. Why wouldn't McCain and why wouldn't Lieberman.

Don't you mean the Neo-Con-vention?

Wrecking our nation, one war at a time.

"I'm not going to go to that convention, the Republican convention, and spend my time attacking Barack Obama,” Lieberman said in an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press.

After Sen. McCain reneged on his promise to keep it clean we shall see.

"The Repubs don't want him and neither will the Democrats."

So what? The people he represents seem to want him. When did that stop being important?

You know how sometimes you make a decision not to do something and you wonder if it was the right decesion or not.

I'M SO GLAD I DIDN'T VOTE FOR LIBERMAN AND DIDN'T SUPPORT HIM WHEN HE WAS ON THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET, HE WAS THE FACTOR THAT LOST MY SUPPORT AND ITS TAKEN SOME TIME BUT HE HAS PROVEN ME 100% RIGHT

I have voted republican for over 50 years. I have been a republican election judge for more than 14 years. This year its democrates all the way!!! Liberman is a trator to the democratic party and he only went independent because he was going to loose to a young, smarter and more educated man. McCain has the same problem. I'm ashamed of the republican party and what has happened to it–its policies and its advertising!!! THe republican party has become the party of "Satan" and of God. Obama speaks of Mathew–"what you do to the least of these you do to me". Republicans–take note!!!! Go Obama!

NO MORE RESPECT MR. TRAITOR.

you can come out the closet now guys.

Judas…

M R.—–L I E B E R M A N—–H A S ——E A R N E D —–I T

traitor

I hope McCain picks Lieberman as his VP. This would be a great plus for Obama. Lieberman should be kicked out of the Democratic Party.

A republican speaking at the republican convention. How is this news?

as he helped Gore in 2000

Too bad Connecticut doesn't have a law on the books that will allow them to have a recall election for Lieberman.

LIBERMAN/MCCAIN = CONFUSED/UNLEARNED

See Obamabots….this is what bipartisanship is!

Now you know so tell your candidate to show me how he can do it too

Sen. Joe Lieberman…how many Kisses ?

He has nothing to loose. He sold his sold to the Devil a long time ago. I have no respect for this War Monger.

I hope McCain does pick Lieberman. This would be a ticket that nobody would vote for. I can think of no surer way to show the American people that McCain is a warmonger than to pick that nutcase.

Lieberman is a tratior ever since v2001, he has been with the republicans, this time he will fall for ever.

he's only a "democrat" in name. He's been so far up the Republican Party's backside he can taste what they had for Lunch

Hey "Rave"– do you think you'll never get old or something?
We "old" people are the ones who fought in Europe and Korea and Vietnam to try to maintain freedoms for all you wimps who don't know how to do anything except whine and run off your mouths. We "old" people are the ones who have held this country together.
We didn't end up with George Bush in the White House just because of "old" votes— there had to be a LOT of you "young" voters who helped put him in there, so share the blame.
Being "young" doesn't magically make you smart, you know. Being "old" does give you the benefit of a lot of years of experience.
You need to grow up.

Wow, what a bold idea, John–NOT. This convention will be a snoozefest.

Lieberwoman is a pus head…stick a pin in it and watch it pop.

This nancy doesn't deserve any news cycle.

It should make everyone take deep consideration of where this country is going when a moderate, to left leaning Democrat is speaking at the RNC.

How far has America shifted toward the socialist left that Obama represents when Democrats are aiding Republican campaigns.

Many bad decisions are made out of spite. Voting for Obama because you don't agree with Bush is equivalent to suicide for America.

Democrats should strip Lieberman of his chairmanship right now, and whatever he says at the GOP convention can be written off as sour grapes.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE–NOT.

John McCain is half the man he used to be. There are no surprises in his bag of political tactics. Least of all Lieberman speaking at the convention. In fact, I'd be surprise if he didn't speak.

droopy dog, live, in concernt, at the republican convention. Could someone let me know when he is scheduled to speak… I've had troble sleeping lately and am positivie that tuning in for droopy dog would do the trick.

Since McCain can't get his own republicans to show up he'll take anyone to fill a seat. The Democrats convention will be great and exciting while John McCain and the republicans will have a retirement party.

Go Joe! Finally a TRUE independant! There may yet be hope for Washington!!!

Talk about a flip flopper………

Lieberman will be persona non grata when the Dems get more seats in the senate. He knows that, and he's just angling for a job in the McCain administration. He's an opportunist.

If Obama wins, Lieberman will certainly switch parties – or at least caucus with Republicans. Good riddance!

Lieberman speaking at the Republican convention? Who cares???
The guy is a weasel and a stooge. The perfect example of a turncoat. Also apparently a war-monger like his buddy McFake.

And to think, I used to admire this little shell of a man. I'm glad he has be exposed as the little weasle he is. Sucking up to McCain like he does, its sickening and disgusting. Such a little weasel.

Be gone, you little troll.

Oh big surprise there!

You're slipping CNN, share some real news.

It should be democrats who should be blamed because they let him caucus with them. Would someone find a backbone and throw this old timer out of the committe.

Ah there is nothing that the DNC hates more than to have an American stand up for themselves and not blindly and mindlessly follow their lead.

If you hate what I said here then check out my website of the same name

He might as well switch to Republican after the Convention.

Snorefest 2008 just got more exciting! More sleep time for everyone!

Bill Clinton's sexual antics while in office and the selection of this clown are one of many reasons Gore last in 2000.

Maybe he can bring some of that good ol' Joe-Mentum to St. Paul.

He's poison in a Mr. Magoo Halloween costume.

McCain, will not be one to get america out of it situation with
Iraq,Economy.Gas,oil,electricity ,food cost,mortgage and low
wages for the poor who can't afford these rising cost. Now that
auto insurance gone up,put it on the list. The war is all he talk
about voter,wake-up.

McCain needs Lieberman to whisper sweet nothings in his ear, and correct the gaffes. I honestly believe that McCain has convinced himself about the "cross in the dirt" story during his POW days. He has read so much about Alexander Solzhenitsen, whose cross experience is well documented, and I think McCain now remembers it as his story. It's almost more scary than if he had lied!!

McCain: Little, whiny guys with a history of losing elections and avoiding military service while sabre-rattling in the Middle East are what I want at the convention.

Lindsey Graham: Sounds Good to Me!

Cheney: Worked for me, except I'm belligerent and not whiny.

Lieberman is a disgusting human being. I am no Obama fan but I have been a democrat all my life and hope that when the democrats pick up more seats in the senate that they stick this moron on the back bench where he belongs. The best thing to do with trash is to kick it to the curb!!!

Judas.

We get the government we deserve. McCain's going for a lock on the stupid majority.

I think it's about time we get people in politics who make choices for the people not the polls. I like inddependent thinkers who can stand up and be who they are whether I agree with them or not. I shudder at 4 years with a Democrat in the White House. Wake up, people!

Dear Senator McCain,

Please pick Lieberman. Please!

Sincerely,
The Democrats

Another Democrat sees the light, there is hope for our country afterall!!!!

Yeah – he's another Zell Miller. Maybe he'll challenge some one to a dual…………

Lieberman is a joke!! Don't nobody take him seriously from either party!! He will do or say anything that would boost his interest in politics!!

Liberman has an identity crisis……he is a Republican; the next day a Democratic; the next day an Independent…….and has ties to all three of his political identities. If he continues on this track, he will surely be a candidate for "knee replacements."

Oh boy, that will certainly make all the conservatives happy! Or not. Lieberman is a traitor, the conservatives can't stand him nor can the Democrats.

Hey, Joe, you are self-imploding!

To quote the Republicans:

"A loser backing another loser."

Although, if I wanted to be faithful to the original
quote by these unoriginal fools, I would have
said, "A looser backing another looser,"
because, obviously, these people are terrible
spellers.

Ya can't get a Republican to go to the Republican convention but you can have Lieberman.

Joe: your days in politics are coming to an end real soon. Buh-Bye!

"And frankly, I'm going to go to a partisan convention and tell them, if I go, why it's so important that we start to act like Americans and not as… partisan mudslingers here in Washington."

…says McCain attack puppy.

Lieberman you are the ultimate opportunist. Questioning Obama's patriotism and then turning around with this crap, like any still believes what you say anyhow.

big shock.. … yyaawwwwnnnnn…… big shock, i tell you…

what a snake this guy is.

He says he won't be part of the partisan mudslinging, but up to this point his actions have proven him a liar. All he has done the past couple of months is sling mud. Lieberman is a total disgrace and only proves McCain's narrow platform…..WAR!

I hope McCain does pick Lieberman……we saw how much he helped Al Gore.

AIPAC Joe cares more about Israel than the United States. Hopefully, he will picked as a vice-presidential candidate and work the same magic he did when he was Al Gore's running mate with the same result…

Isn't Lieberman still an American? How is he a traitor? Oh right, all leberals are hate-filled, self-absorbed leeches.

CT this is all your fault!! Why would you vote for him especially when he lost the primary to lamont??

Who cares. I hope he is McCain's VP. Please pick him please.

hahahaha amen! get that fool away from the dems!

when in Liberma's term over anyways? why is he even there? I hope that mccain pick him, … like I said before, Just like the 2 old fools in the muppet show up in the balcony.

Guess he can kiss his job goodbye. He won't survive the next election. Heck even Republicans are avoiding their own convention.

Mitt Romney would be a bad choice for vice president. He is untrust worthy and arrogant. He is a billionare and that is where his expertise is- taking advantage of people with less money. I hate him. He is very unlikeable. A total jerk.

Of course he'll be speaking, right into McCain's ear to make sure he gets everything just right.

"…And frankly, I'm going to go to a partisan convention and tell them, if I go, why it's so important that we start to act like Americans and not as… partisan mudslingers here in Washington." – Liberman

For this, he should be re-elected, because he speaks for many of us, not just in CT.

This guy is like watching paint dry what a wessal

Now there's a surprise.

I understand there are plenty of vacancies at the convention…..so many people are staying away ! !

Joe better hope McInsane wins and puts him in his cabinet, because he is finished. He is a slimy sell out, and a poor excuse for a man with no honor whatsoever, like the scum he endorses.

Liberman is a flip-flopping disgrace to America. So is McSame

If McCain is elected then Americans deserve the impending fate of a failed nation with no legitimate hope for economic growth. Free trade without restrictions will have moved every decent manufacturing job from the U.S. to another 3rd world country with no hope of them ever coming back.

Insulting every leader and the country he represents will see America standing alone as other nations will find ways to distance themselves from all aspects of U.S. policies and the coalition of the willing be as non existent as it was with the invasion of Iraq.

He's a weisel who couldn't even get a majority of voters in his home state to vote for him.

He'll be as good for McCain as he was for Gore.

Neither will be in the White Houes, thank goodness.

And who cares about what he says?

I don't get him…he's not the same Lieberman who ran with Gore…hanging out with the McCain has made his angry, insincere and nasty….

Connecticut sure made a huge mistake reelecting this turncoat. Lieberman's credibility is shot and his political future is limited at best.

He is a joke!!! Voting for Obama!!!

Joe has integrity. His record matches his rhetoric, something lacking with so many spineless politicians. A true American. Thank you Joe.

Well I guess thats why their is an Independent Party and alot of us disappointed Dems. joined it after 2004.

Gepeto Lieberman is talking in the rep convention?

That will be funny…!!!

Lieberman sold his soul to the devil. He has no honor so it is only natural he supports mccain. You couldn't pay me to watch the repug convention, besides I will be watching paint dry.

Why not pick Romney he is Pro-Choice and Pro-Life…………….depending on the week.

Perfect fit for McFlip!

He was so helpful to Gore, maybe he can be as helpful to McCain.

Lie-bermann is a Mosad agent. He has always put Israel before US.

"a powerful perch with wide jurisdiction over the Bush"

wow.

Liebermann should just officially become a republican.

who cares

Well now, there's a shocker. A republican by any other name…..is still a republican. If he had any cojones he'd have the courage to call himself one, rather than trying out the independent label. Oh, wait, didn't he do that after his constituency refused to re-elect him as a democrat?

In retrospect, it's a good thing that Gore didn't win because Lieberman would've been VICE PRESIDENT. It was a decent idea then, but now we know what Lieberman is really about.

Go back to Israel where you belong you traitor!!!!!

Senator Lieberman is wrong on the war, wrong on policies and wrong on Senator McCain. He is trying to play both sides against the middle, but is really straddling a barbed-wire fence. Like the presumptive GOP nominee, he is driven by blind ambition and would sell out anything and anyone in order to garner power. While he is entitled to have his opinions, he has sold out those who gave him the notoriety and stature he cravenly sought. While Senator McCain has flip-flopped on policies, the Connecticut representative has committed a more heinous act: he sold out his scruples, the people he represents and his friends.

Good choice! At least McCain has level headed supporters, instead of robots following him.

McCain '08

ANOTHER OLD MAN HAS BEEN. WHO CARES WHO SPEAKS AT THIS RETIREMENT HOME CELEBRATION ANYWAY!
BORING ….BORING…BORING.

Is Lieberman independant ? Noway he is like mccswain looking for a job….

What a piece of work. Nothing more than a turncoat. He should receive a good old fashioned tar and feathering and be run out of DC. Good job Connecticut. Hopefully you have learned the errors in your ways next election and kick this bum out on his ear.

Change sides already. It must be nice to play both sides just to stay in office. The Democrats don't want to make you made because you serve as the tie-breaker. The Republicans let you get away with everything because you share their ideas. And you call yourself an Independent?

Why don't we do this? Why don't the Republicans just keep Leiberman and do us Democrats a favor? Puh-leese?! Oh, and take those PUMA/No Deal people as well, we're good without them too. Thanks!

That milquetoast turncoat should JOIN the Republican Party!

Oh, good lord.

This guy is a worthless piece of human trash. Even though Ned Lamont was a stiff, I'm still proud to say I voted for him over this clown. I just wish more people from CT would have done the same.

Oy, a Chandra

Why is McCain asking the GOP heads in each state if a Democrat can run on the ticket? Did Lieberman not change his party affiliation to Independent?

Lieberman has made his bed; if McCain loses this election, Lieberman will truly be a man without a country or state. The Repubs don't want him and neither will the Democrats. He can kiss his chairmanship goodbye.

2 (Very) Old guys planning to lead this country into an other disasterous 4 year term…. Wake up you farts, it is almost the time for your grandchildren to lead this country.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

HA HA HA HA! Lieberman going to prove he can ruin an elections on both sides of the isle. What A Putz!

O 08

why doesnt the turn coat lieberman call himself a republican and change his affiliation to republican!!! he is obviously ONE of them
Why do his constituents keep voting him in as a democrat!!

The new Zell Miller, anyone?

TRAITOR!!!

Enjoy your committee membership now, Senator. As soon as we pick up a few more seats in the Senate, your self-absorbed, traitorous presence will no longer be required.

You go Joe! Help McCain like you did Gore.

oh joy to the world. and next we will have shadow puppets to entertain bsuh before he speaks.

He should just go ahead and become a Republican. How he does his job everyday is beyond me.
