In the words of Samuel Johnson "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." By deriding Obama for an alleged lack of patriotism, Lieberman shows his true colors.

If you go against your party... you're a traitor. so what happens when you go against yourself?

He's known McCain for a long long time... and believes in McCain's capability more than Obama. So do Hillary and Biden... they believe in McCain's ability more than Obama. That's it. Why is it so difficult to understand what one believes is best for the country really does trump party. Why do you think McCain fights against the repubs so much when he doesn't beleive in certain topics?

Again, I appreciate people who lives in truth and what they believe in, regardless of party.

Richardson is still an idiot. and I rarely call anyone an idiot. Nor can I imagine any democrat finding any relevance in Richardson.

I think Gov. Richardson is really great. He is always so calm and level-headed in his thinking (this was especially evident in his early primary debates with Clinton, Obama, and Edwards), and has the type of personality that can unify people and discuss differences in a clear, logical manner. Richardson would make a wonderful Secretary of State, or cabinet member for the Obama administration.

That was too harsh...He's sad to watch...

Sour Grapes Richardson strikes again. He turned on Hillary in a hot second when he thought he might have a chance as Obama's VP. Richardson is a joke!

More incredible than anything the McCain's, Palin's, Lieberman, Bush's and, Cheney's crowd does is the fact that so many Americans still vote for them and apparently think it is OK. Is it stupidity, ignorance, fear or religious fervor (i.e. stupidity, ignorance, fear)?

It doesn't make any sense to compare Lieberman's switch to Richardson's decision not to vote for Hillary. A simply inappropriate comparison.

This is hysterical coming from Judas Richardson.

This Richardson guy is a a– just ask Hillary- She will not be in the same room with this guy. The Dems have taken this election to the edge of diguest. Of all years - the presidency was on a silver platter for this party. But they have destroy their chances. This Obama guy is a joke. He needed to drop out of the running when it came to light of his 20 years in this hate Amearican church. The us of america deserves much better. I would take 8 more years of Bush before having a week of Obama. Sad - but true.

Richardson is so annoying... not on any ONE point in general... but is annoying overall. He is best when he kisses Obama's Bottom. Why can't there be more Dems that are like Biden or Hillary... who are there own person? I would appreciate anybody w/their own mind... regardless of party affliation.

Richardson turned on Hillary?
He didn't represent his constituents in supporting Obama?

He's the Governor of New Mexico, it's not his job to throw his support behind the presidential candidate that got the most votes in his state. It's completely his decision to support whomever he chooses to support based on which candidate he thinks would do a better job. Same as your role as a voter.

He chose Obama. So did the majority of Democrats.

Hillary conceded, get over it.

Oh, please. the Democrats have had measured responses to all the insanity the Republicans have thrown the coutry this week and all I hear from GOP supporters is hysterical name-calling. Grow up.

MR. JOE LIEBERMAN IS A POLITICAL TURN-COAT. HE WANTS TO
AMERICAN TO REMAIN IN IRAQ FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS, ACCORDING TO MR. JOHN MCCAIN WISHES. THE DEATH OF OVER
4,100 U.S. SOLDIERS AND 10,000 WOUNDED SOLDIERS DOES NOT BOTHER HIM.

HE IS A REPUBLICAN IN AN INDEPENDENT CLOTHING. HOWEVER,
BARACK OBAMA WILL ENTER THE WHITE HOUSE ON JANUARY 20
2009, AS THE 44TH U.S. PRESIDENT. AMERICAN VOTERS WILL NOT BE FOOLED A SECOND TIME BY THE WASTEFUL AND IRRES-
PONSIBLE REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND JOHN F. KENNEDY WERE NOT STATE
GOVERNORS WHEN THEY WERE ELECTED AS U.S. PRESIDENTS.
JOHN MCCAIN INTRODUCED IMMIGRATION BILL INTO THE SENATE
BUT WHEN THE TIME CAME TO VOTE ON THE BILL, HE ABSTAINED.
HE IS A CHAMELEON. I HOPE THE D.N.C. WILL DEAL EFFECTIVELY
WITH LIEBERMAN AFTER THE NOVEMBER 4 ELECTION. I AM VERY
OPTIMISTIC THAT DEMOCRATS WILL GAIN CONSIDERABLE WORKING MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE. HIS DONATION
OF MONEY IS TO BUY HIM THE CURRENT SENATE CHAIRMANSHIP
HE CURRENTLY OCCUPIES.

Richardson shut up!

I love the comments. I see that the Democratic party is not so democratic anymore. Personal feelings and beliefs count for nothing if you do not tow the party line and support the party's candidate.

Yeah, and Richardson was real sad when he turned on Hillary. The pot calling the kettle black.

I would have loved if John McCain Had picked Lieberman for VP because this election would over. Lieberman is a phony fake fraud. He did worse than Kobe Bryant did to Shaq. He is definitely kicked out of the Lockeroom and will never win a CHAMPIONSHIP. How Can you trust a double agent. I have another analogy He's a point Shaver. when his team is up he does everything in his power to keep the score close to cover the Spread. I'm done

Joltin' Joe Lieberman; ya just gotta love this guy! He wants what is best for the Country and not just for himself politically.

Rodger, are you serious?

Lieberman ran a campaign as an Independent and won in Conn. ... after being tossed out by his party no less.

People the issue is not Lieberman or Palin. It is getting this country back to the people and the only way that is ever going to happen is for us all if not most of us to join in Voting for Obama/Biden and only other Democrats this time. Americans we can not be this stupid to even entertain McCain and his Joice for VP. People look at what is and has happen in the last 8 yrs. This country can not take another 4 yrs of the same. Yes country first which means this time Only Democrats need to be elected.

shut up Richardson, you are the reason why Obama will lose in November

Bill Richardson is a loser.

Just when I think that Joe Lieberman cannot possibly sink any lower into a moral swamp, he proves me wrong. Gore should regret ever having given this poor excuse for a Democrat AND a dual-citizenship American (Israel, what a surprise!) the chance to rise in the ranks. Joe Liebertman embodies the very worst stereotypes of politicians and should be ashamed to look in the mirror.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. go on over to the dark side Lieberman.

Lieberman is done with, just looking for a gravy train to ride out his years

Actually, he has more credibility now to me then ever before. Why? Cause he's not a pawn of a party like so many Democrats and Republicans are. Idiots are those who vote for someone simply because they are this party or that. Intelligence runs weak in many Americans it seems when thinking outside of the box. Cluelessness and naivity are what many seem to follow.

RICHARDSON OWED HILLARY THIS IS THE FIRE CALLING TH KITTLE BLACK

Sen. Joe Lieberman has not credibility among democrats and republicans don't trust him either, otherwise, he would have been McCain's running mate.

sen Obama's foreign policy experience is all of about two months old. i guess she's not capable of hopping on a plane and talking to a few heads of state and voila experience. national security was very well laid out during the Texas debate when he blabed to the world about the state of our troops in Afghanistan. remember, before you try to make an excuse, he believed that story to be true at the time

IT'S NOT AS SAD AS RICHARDSON IGNORING HIS OWN CONSTITUENTS VOTING FOR HILLARY CLINTON AND HIM VOTING
FOR OBAMA.. IT SURELY HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATE TO NAME RICHARDSON AS OBAMA'S RUNNING MATE.

"DISGUSTING" is the word, not "sad."

This is getting old,,,,,,I do not understand the logic,,,,,OK Palin has little expierence,,,Obama has little expierence,,,So lets us make our decision based on McCain's expierence vs. Biden,,,,That is ohhhhhh so easy for me,,,,Is it easy for you ?

Liberman is a looser,

He is the main reason Gore lost in 2000...

Next year he can join the Republicans. He can not even get elected as dog catcher in Con.

I love this-NOW all the Dems don't like it when a dem/ind. crosses over to end the bickering-but what about Unity across the country Richardson????-you typical partisian politician-becareful Dems-you're all starting to sound a bit too "sad".

Where's the "working across the aisle" Dems?????

yuo right governor! lieberman betrayed barack by saying in 2006 that he do anything to help support barack. he a 'personal' backstabbin' ,warmonger. and he not patriot!

credibility among democrats??? can you use those words in the same sentence? isn't that an oxymoron?

and coming from a party hack like bill richarson who has no credibility outside his tiny circle. He is just pandering for a cabinet post which I'm sure John McCain is not going to provide.

Does any one really care what JUDAS Richardson has to say? He has the gall to state that Lieberman doesn't have any credibility with Democrats anymore, but JUDAS does not speak for me. As a conservative Democrat I fully support Joe Lieberman and John McCain as well. For the first time in my life I will be voting for a Republican presidential ticket thanks to the extreme left wing that has taken over the party.

JUDAS turned his back on long time friend and political ally Hillary Clinton, and now all of a sudden he is "sad" that Joe Lieberman turned his back on the "Daily Kos Democratic ticket". Well JUDAS, what comes around goes around, and you certainly have no leg to stand on when it comes to criticizing other people’s loyalty.

Richardson always seems to be able to take the highest road, but somehow still shortest path to reach the point.

Lieberman is doing what is best for Israel, not America.
Country First.

This coming from the dumbest man ever to hold public office.

Booo Hoooo Richardson! You're not VP because you are a big idiot so you now think you're opinion matters.

Joe Lieberman said last night that he was a Democrat who has come to tell voters why they should vote for Mccain. This is not true – he may have been once upon a time long long ago but one thing is true - Joe Lieberman is NOT a Democrat.

HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE CREDIBILITY AMONG JEWS ANYMORE. AND HE KNOWS THAT. SO NOW HE HAS TO SWITCH TO THE WARMONGER.

IT SEEMS EVERY ONE (INCLUDING BUSH) WANTS TO LEAVE IRAQ EXCEPT JOE LIEBERMAN AND McDOOFUS

Yeah Bill just as sad as you stabbing Hillary in the back. As far as foreign policy I notice you didn't mention Obama's lack just Palins. You are a loser and thats why you were dissed for the VP ticket.

Sad ? Judas Lieberman comes right out of Shakespeare. The ultimate traitor, reveling in his abjection, smirking, patronizing, pompous and full of it. Claiming to be "above" parties when he swims in the sewer. If you can watch him without throwing up, I admire you.

Lieberman is toast. Neither party wants him. So just go away loser.

Joe Lieberman is sad. People in Connecticut had the chance to vote him out of politics. Ned Lamont would never be pulling this stuff. Joe Lieberman should retire.

Is Richardson still supporting Obama, REALLY? He was sooooo ANGRY at Obama for not giving him the VP seat. HE INVESTED EVERYTHING IN THE VP SEAT. HE EVEN TRASHED HIS LONG TIME GOOD FRIEND (BILL CLINTON).

Richardson is a BETRAYER, POWER HUNGER.

John, MA

Wow, a statement of loyalty coming from Judas Richardson? How dare he.

It seems that Democrats such as Bill Richardson have no problem promoting a Presidential candidate who has no foreign policy or national security experience, but shame on those Republicans who would think to promote a Vice Presidential candidate with similar credentials! The Democrats better be careful in their belittling of their former VP candidate, or Senator Lieberman may just decide to caucus with the Republicans, giving control of the Senate back to the Republicans.

This 'Judas of a man" , Bill Richardson, goes about the network pretending to be a saint. I have indeed lost all respect for him after his last act of betrayal. It appears no one has the right to criticise Obama these days. He is flawed candidate and will surely loose this election.

Right on Bill!

Look at the top of the Democratic ticket... Who doesn't have experience? Quit comparing Obama to Palin.... It's like comparing apples and oranges. Really... The real comparison is Obama and McCain.

Who lacks the experience as Commander-In-Cheif? Obama....

Richardson is a "Judas" and I guess that would qualify him commenting on Lieberman...

Still for Hill, but voting McCain... Experience and Patriotism matter...

No empty suits in the white house.....

So kicking Leiberman out of the party because he wouldn't lock step with the Socialist... I mean Democratic party wasn't going too far? It was Leiberman pointing out that the Democratic nominee is nothing more than a gimmick pick?

Bill – who cares what you think. Eres un vendido.
You do whatever you need to jump on the bandwagon. Your true colors came out during the primary. If McCain wins, you will be his best friend.

I do completely agree. Bill, you're the man.
Hope you'll be within Baracks cabinet.

Obviously Lieberman doesn't want credibility among Democrats since he's decided being a red blooded American Republican is a better choice.

Richardson is the poster child for the Democratic Party... weak and sexist.

I want a Strong America so my children will have a future. Why not watch a few minutes of the Republican Convention and see what real American patriotism is all about.

It's not some Hollywood set built with millions in taxpayer dollars.

Go away, Bill. Nobody cares what you think.

I see, but I guess it's okay to have PRESIDENT with absolutely NONE. Barack anyone? What a joke the Dims..er Dems have become. And to think I actually used to have respect for Bill Richardson.

Richardson hit the nail on the head. Not only has Lieberman used up any goodwill he has with the dems and most likely independents, the mainstream Republicans still aren't going to trust him. He AND Rudy Giuliani have politically worn out their welcome.

Okay JUDAS

We are going to believe what you say. You have no credibility with the Latino community. You should worry about your own standing and leave others alone.

McCain/Palin 08

I'm a Jew so I can say this he is a disgrace to our people. How dare he support McCain. I just don't get it. Bitter is right

Lieberman was never a Democrat. That's why we didn't vote for Gore.

Richardsons biggest accomplishment is to govern and protect a state of illegals without getting them deported.

When will Lieberman make his official switch to being a republican?

My family and I lived in CT for 25 years, and we always thought of him as a republican in a democrat's clothing.

Just go ahead and come out of the closet, Joe. Deep down, you know you'll feel better once you've taken that first step towards being honest with Connecticut's voters and the rest of the nation.

No place to call HOME. 911,POW,911,POW,911 is all that they know. They never speak issues. NEVER.

Careful, Richardson. The Hillary supporters already hate your guts, so if you hate on Palin, it's playing into McCain's hands, because those blindingly angry Hillary supporters (whatever their gender may be) will want to like what you hate...

Fear?

If I didn't see it and hear it, I would not believe that In this day and age, when our "smart bombs" and other super weapons have been rendered obsolete by suicide bombers who can strike at any time, almost anywhere, that some Republican leaders are rattling jingoistic swords while beating war drums. I would not have believed that an obviously angry President would refer to his dissenters as the "angry left." Heaven help us if the Republicans retain the White House. The world is waiting to see if we are going to meet the challenge of trying to create a better world or just rely on our "big guns and smart bombs" to bully our way around. Such closed minds as appeared and spoke at the RNC showed that somewhere along the way, many Americans have been led astray by hypocritical politicians, and are totally lost and out of touch with the real world.

What's it going to be like to have a president without those credentials???
