Wow, the partisanship is already a huge bubbling high.

Sounds like the Democrats don't want to embrace any change beyond getting a far left agenda.

Lieberman is no longer in a position to continue damaging the Democratic Party, so let him stay in the Senate. He is a reminder of the failed policies of the past- and was elected by the voters of his state.

If he put a condition that without chairmanship, he will not be with Dems. Then, his stand is clear that he is with Rep. Whether or not he stays in Dems does not make any difference to his standing.

Lieberman just may become the MOST POWERFUL Senator. If the Dems win in AK, MN, and GA that will give them 59 (including Sanders from VT). The GOP will go all out to lure him away to keep them from 60 and Lieberman will probably end up being Majority Leader

Get this snake out of the new administration. Lieberman would have gladly gone with Mccain as Veep should Mccain have won. He has no shame.

Obama has taken the high road here. If the Democrats start acting like Republicans we well loose the momentum we need to deal with the mess they (Republicans) left us.

A political campaign is a battle and there is a special name for someone who gives comfort to the enemy during a war.

How soon we forget that Joe Lieberman gave the Senate back to the Democrats. He is Independent, but serves well as the Chair of Homeland Defense. I am a Democrat who voted for Obama. NOW is
the time that we can work together for the good of our country.
Am I surprised that he worked with McCain? NO He did what he thouht was the right thing to do. Maybe, it is that sense of independence that we seek from the two Republican Senators from Maine. Moreover, don't be surprised that Senator McCain would vote
to end cloture. In Closing, it was a group of Democrats and Republicans that vowed to work together if a filibuster is threatened by
some Republicans. KEEP Lieberman. It is nice to see someone who thinks for themselves for the good of our Nation.

Just so you right wingers know….

When the Republicans ran the Senate from 2000-2006, all of the committee chairs were Republicans, senators who agreed with Bush and would push HIS agenda.
Why should the Democrats not have the same advantage? If Lieberman wants to support McCain, it is his right but then he cannot expect his spot to be "protected".

And "maynard"….in case you didn't notice, one of the many reasons the Democrats won is because the amazing Obama ground game registered several million more Democrats than the Republicans could register. And no, it was not some ACORN magic. It's the Republicans who have gotten in trouble for voter registration fraud. YPM's director is in jail.

get rid of the bum

I agree with the Senator 100%! Lieberman is a traitor and his plan was to get a VP slot or high profile position in McCain administration. Obama campaigned for Lieberman during his 2006 re-election, but Lieberman stab him at the back. I don't care if he just only support McCain, but he went to GOP convention and said so many bad thing about Obama. So this kind of RAT doesn't deserve a chairman position. I want him to sit like any other indpendant senators so he can get a lesson. He is a no good old sucker.

Lieberman should be on his OWN now… let the Republicans have him! He is not to be trusted.

One does not reward bad behavior, it only reinforces it!

IT'S SAD THE WAY PEOPLE SOMETIMES JUST DON'T USE THEIR HEAD. IF HE WANTS TO STAY IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT – I DO HOWEVER, HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HIM BEING A CHAIR…..WHEN IS ALL THIS CRAP GOING TO STOP?? I'M REALLY TIRED OF IT………..

I firmly believe that Lieberman needs to be dismissed from the party after his disloyal remarks at the RNC that were eventually followed by his slimy and self-serving back-peddling attempts once his pal McCain got trounced.

How he can look himself in the mirror every morning is beyond me, but I really do not see how his colleagues can view him with anything other than contempt at this point. Myself, a life-long Democrat, I am disgusted by his actions and words.

chris from STL is right. The honorable thing for Lieberman to do is resign his chairmanship. During the campaign, Joe Lieberman willingly participated in and supported a lot of the shameful McCain/Palin tactics, dishonoring himself and the positions he has been elected to. That dishonorable behavior has consequences, one of which is removal from chairmanships. Later, the voters of Connecticut can address his position as Senator. Now, the Democratic Party has both opportunity and obligation to replace him in any and all leadership roles. He can still vote, can still speak, can still introduce legislation. Those are his senatorial rights. His demonstrated lack of decency and good judgement has removed him from rights to any leadership position.

"A yellow tailed rat traitor"
Senator Lieberman is a traitor because he stood up for what he believed in, expressed his views honestly and supported a man he believed would do the best job leading our nation out of its current predicament? So who is he a traitor to? Not his principles or ideals. Certainly not the principles and ideals of America which emphasize civic duty and honest, free expression of speech. Elevate your thinking beyond the Democratic party and a specific political agenda. Our country needs strong Americans in positions of power who will stand up for our principles as expressed in the constitution. That is what Senator Lieberman is and has been for years. Learn something from your idol Senator Obama and try to remember that we need unity to accomplish change. Punishing Lieberman, who has done a great job in his post, is a terrible message to send. It supports the notion that being a yes man for your party is more important than qualifications and being true to American ideals and principles. That message will certainly help us out of this recession. The level of stupidity expressed in so many of these posts is a depressing reflection on the failures of our educational system. Stop reading CNN and go back and finish high school.

@ maynard hopkins wi

Yeah, The people are so up in arms against democrats they just put them in charge of two branches of government.

Why are republicans so delusional?

@ Gerry

Oh please if a high ranking republican endorsed Obama he would lose his RNC membership card! Not just his chairmanship!

@ Helen

I completely Agree, Nobama people need to GET OVER IT!!!!

It's gonna be bloody payback for the whiner Dems. Stolen 2000 election.. . wah-wah. All I've got to say is: watch your wallets.

There still is no unity..and Liberman stood for what he believed. He was good enough when he voted for the democrats, now he isnt..isnt that a shame.

I agree with Senator Leahy about Leiberman. He definitely should be kicked out…he is no friend of the Democratic Party. He did lose the primary vote in his home state, obviously they didn't want him either and for the same reasons. Kick him OUT!

lieberman is a independent they offered him the chair just so he would be a tie breaking vote. now that they think they have the senate sowed up they`re willing to kick him to the curb. i think he should give em the salute>>>>>>>>>>>,,!,,<<<<<<<<and retire with the pention he has coming. at yes the tax payers dollar.

This guy is stupid. He should retire because he has no new ideas and he also has made enough money.

People need to relax. Lieberman just suggested that Obama didn't have the experience necessary to do the job, and we STILL don't know if that's the case. He didn't "perpetuate anymyths"…or is that what ANY criticism of Obama is going to be from now on?

I've said it before and I'll say it again…Lieberman is what we ALL keep saying we want in politicians…someone who votes their conscience. But Dems call him traitor, etc. because he dared speak against the Democrat partisan machine, and now they want to throw him under the bus. If there is a picture next to "hypocritical" in the dictionary, it should be of Congressional Democrats.

Lieberman should not be offered ANY chairmanship. Contact your Democratic senator if you have one and make your opinion heard.

A comma? That little thing that seperates parts of a sentence.

Remember to read your post before hitting the submit button. It really does downgrade your insults when foolish mistakes invade your post.

I have no problem with Lieberman expressing his opinion and supporting McCain in the election, but it takes a man with a lot of gall to expect to be the chair of a major committee when the Dems are in control. He campaigned against the Democratic ticket in Connecticut in the Senate race and now in this election. He is a yellow tailed rat traitor who has no shame.

Lieberman should be hang by the balls by Putin, waterboarded and sent to Guantanamo with no rights. He is a quite a piece of work.
Obama helped him get re-elected and this was the reward, wow.
I'm not ready to make nice yet.

Yep, I see how much we're gonna *change*. I can read it in these posts. Can you say…NOT?!

So what if Lieberman supported McCain? He has the right. Who the hell are you people to whine about cronyism, then demand cronyism?

Are you all going to be hypocrites like this for the next 4 years? If so, you're no better than the Bushies. Shame on you!

Let Lieberman sit right where he is. That way we can all keep an eye on him.

Please just get him out of there. Lieberman out of the chairmanship.

Lieberman should go to Tel Aviv where he can be with the people he really represents.

BARACK H. OBAMA HAS BEEN ELECTED THE 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

YES, LIEBERMAN MUST GO!

Lieberman is a loser!

He backed McCain hoping for the Veep spot, but conservatives rejected him vehemently, now dems are also mad at him, smart move Lieberman!

I agree: He's a dirty rat and doesn't deserve the chairmanship! Maybe McCain can give him and Joe the Plumber a job somewhere on a nuclear power station on a navy ship roaming around the world!

CNN: "A senior Democratic senator has gone on the record saying Joe Lieberman should lose his committee chairmanship when the party's full Senate caucus votes on the issue next week."

I agree 100% ! See if Joe the-Slimey-Opportunist can take as good as he gives. I hope he crawls over to the Repubs; they deserve him.

I was fine with Lieberman supporting McCain, who is his old friend, but once he was at the rallies with Palin alone, without McCain, that is when I think he went way too far. By being at the Palin rallies, where she lied about Senator Obama, race-baited and tried to divide this country, Lieberman was in essence supporting what was being said and the insinuations that Palin was making. And his presence there demonstrated that he actually thought Palin was fit to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. Unforgiveable! I broke up with a girl that thought Palin was ready to be president. I couldn't get over that. How could any logical person think she was ready?!! How?!

I hope the Don, Barack Obama, pulls a Godfather II on Lieberman by grabbing him and telling him "I know it was you Lieberrman. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!"

I agree with Senator Leahy on this matter, and I have always respected Leahy's outspoken nature. Unfortunately, Joe Lieberman's staunch ally is Senator Harry Reid, and Reid does not want to lose his acolyte. I doubt Lieberman will lose his chairmanship. Reid is his guardian angel.

i'm not sure if he should lose it or not. Maybe he should stay on board so he can be used as a vote just in case we can't get 60 Democratic senators. He's almost guaranteed to lose re-election anyway

Lieberman is a traitor. Yeah, he has a right to free speech, but then you have to accept the consequences for what you say. That's how it works. He doesn't deserve anything after the horrible things he said. Kick him to the curb.

@Don from Maine:
Nobody's saying he doesn't have the right. However, in this, as in all things, there are consequences. Of course he has freedom of speech. The democratic caucus has freedoms, too, and they include stripping him of his position if they choose to do so. His behavior was despicable and I don't think he should be allowed to keep his post. That being said, I admire and respect Obama for being disinclined to exact revenge.

And I recall Leahy dissing Hillary Clinton during the primaries after he jumped on the Obama bandwagon. This is the pot calling the kettel a back stabber.

oh hush up, Leahy you tired old coot

If he wishes to continue to caucus with Democrats let him but he should definitely not be given a high ranking position that should be reserved for a Democrat. He actively fought against our candidate for president. He obviously should not continue his chairmanship.

Agree completely

It's not that he supported McCain. It's that he attacked Obama aggressively. Not sure I would trust him to lead on behalf of the democrats.

HOGWASH HE HAS THE RIGHT TO BACK WHOM EVER HE WANTS TO….THIS IS WHY THE DEMS. ARE LOSING MEMBERS.ALSO WHY THE AMERICN PUBLIC IS UP IN ARMS.

Lieberman should be stripped of any and all given power by the democrats and kicked over to the repub side of the isle. What do you think he would have done if McCain won the election???

If Lieberman had an ounce of honor, he would step down and join the republican caucus.

I say let's just 'tar and feather' him and get it over with!

Of course he should lose his chairmanship.

Let him go play with the kids across the street.

It's where he belongs.

While I didn't agree with Lieberman and his support of John McCain we need to remember that we live in AMERICA. Lieberman has the right to speak his mind an to support whomever he chooses. And so do you and I. There's that pesky little document called the Constitution and another one called the Bill of Rights that allow this to be. While personally I think Lieberman is an idiot-I thank God that he does not represent me and my home state. And I thank God and the founding fathers that allow even an idiot the right to choose whomever he supports.

i agree with this man he should loose it

Kick the traitor OUT.

The Democrats should not punish Senator Lieberman for his actions during the election and come off looking as seeking revenge, let the fine people of Connecticut do that when the bum comes up for re-election.

Very true!

I didn't know how childish Lieberman is till he acted like one!

Amen. Now is the time to send messages and canning Lieberman is the right message. Let him go to the GOP…and he can explain that to his fiolks back home.

LEAHY SHOULD RETIRED LONG AGO.

THE COUNTRY NEEDS MORE LIKE JOE L. THAT TRYS TO JUDGE BEST WHAT IS FOR THE COUNTRY . BY PUTTING POLITICS TO THE SIDE.

STILL SAY THE DNC & THE REST OF THE DC , ARE TO FAMILIAR WITH HOLLYWOOD . NOTICE THEY KEEP RUNNING THERE MOUTHS SO MUCH , THEY STARTED ANOTHER FIRE. ONE WAY TO PAY OFF THERE MORTAGE.

SO TELL EM JOE, YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN MESS, AN i WILL STILL DO BEST FOR THE COUNTRY . SIT DOWN LEAHY . TAKE A ROCKER WITH YOU AN JOIN PELOSI . FAR FAR AWAY.

Obama may not hold "any grudges" against Sen.Lieberman, but that doesn´t mean the Democrats should not express the way they feel about him… They can chose to strip him of his chairmanship if they want.. Had Sen MacCain won he would had maybe been SOS or gotten another position…He gambled and lost… Now he gotta Pay……..

I agree completely. Stop being such a nice guy. Lieberman needs to go! His behavior should not be rewarded. He stood in front of the American people and told lies about you.The same goes for HRC. I will be extremely displeased if she is offered Sec of State. If we had wanted more Clinton rule we would have voted for her (them).
Come on Barack, I worked tirelessly to help you. I gave the max, I knocked on doors,I stood on the street and registered voter, I made hundreds of phone call because I wanted the change you promised.
Please give us what you promised. Not more of the same with lame Lieberman and Hillary as Sec of State.

If I were Joe Lieberman, I would quit the committee chair position. Any self respecting person with honor would do the same.

I think these guys are trying to make a larger issue out of this than what it is. Clearly, Senator Lieberman is a Democrat-turned-Independant; It should be no shock to them that he might want to back Senator McCain in his run for the Presidency. He obviously thinks for himself and isn't necessarily die-hard committed to one party. He has that right and it should not be used against him. They are intentionally trying to turn the course of events here.

This back-stabbing coming from the party that abandoned Lieberman in the primaries in his state. This coming from the party that desparately sought out his vote when it meant their majority in the Senate. Now, because he, as an Independent, speaks his mind, they are ready to throw him out. What hypocrisy! What audacity! And this is the party bringing change??? This is the party of tolerance??? I don't think so! The Democrats don't deserve Sen. Lieberman.

Send Lieberman back to Israel where he belongs and give him a one way ticket traitor Jim Hall Kansas City Missouri.

Hear Hear

I'm with Leahy 100%. Lieberman is a snake and should be banished from the garden. Good riddance!

Here here on that one, you have said nothing but the truth, he must loose his chairmanship!!!

Lieberman's problem is that he is an opportunist, and both parties know this, and he now has no place to go to peddle his weakened and depleted clout…. He should not be given any chairmanship whatsoever…. He gambled and lost, and should not now be rewarded for treasonous actions.

The Dems need to grow up already.
He did play nice so we're gonna take his (hard earned) toys away.
How small minded.

Lieberman is no Democrat. I'd suggest you thank him for his service and then show him the door.

If Lieberman has any ethics left he should step down on his own. Does he think the rest of the Dems have forgotten. Obama will take the high road and not say anything. Joe-you got to go!!!!

Obama aide apologises to US-Arabs

Rahm Emanuel apologised to Arab-Americans on behalf of his family
President-elect Barack Obama's White House chief-of-staff Rahm Emanuel has apologised to the US-Arab community for remarks made by his father.

Benjamin Emanuel told an Israeli newspaper that his son, who is Jewish, would "obviously influence the president to be pro-Israel".

He also referred to Arabs in a way which a leading Arab-American group called an "unacceptable smear".

A spokesman for Rahm Emanuel said he had called the group to apologise.

Mr Emanuel also offered to meet members of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.

In the interview last week with the Israeli daily newspaper Ma'ariv, Israeli-born Benjamin Emanuel talked about his son's new job.

Anger at remarks

He said: "Obviously he'll influence the president to be pro-Israel. Why wouldn't he? What is he, an Arab? He's not going to be mopping floors at the White House."

His remarks angered the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, which called on Rahm Emanuel to condemn them.

On Thursday, his office issued a statement saying that the veteran Democratic congressman had called the group's president, Mary Rose Oakar.

We cannot allow Arabs and Muslims to be portrayed in these unacceptable terms

Mary Rose Oakar, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee

It said that he had "apologised on behalf of his family and offered to meet with representatives of the Arab-American community at an appropriate time in the future".

On its website, the committee quoted Mr Rahm as saying: "From the fullness of my heart, I personally apologise on behalf of my family and me. These are not the values upon which I was raised or those of my family."

Ms Oakar welcomed the apology, saying: "We cannot allow Arabs and Muslims to be portrayed in these unacceptable terms."

Rahm Emanuel served as deputy chief of staff to Bill Clinton and analysts say he has a reputation for forceful negotiation and unwavering loyalty.

As Mr Obama's chief of staff – and one of his closest advisers – he will be responsible for delivering the president's policy platform.

Some Middle East commentators have voiced concern about the appointment of Mr Emanuel, who has a pro-Israel record.

However, the congressman himself dismissed the idea and said that Mr Obama did not need his influence to "orientate his policy toward Israel".

Why do they keep such a sick-O around anyway.

This guy is out of touch and out of reach with reality but I think he should be forgiven because Obama ran on change not on revenge like what the previous Washingtonians did previuosly.Leahy need to understand that.I like Leahy leadership but I don't think a comment like this would come from him.Let's (we deomcrats) show the GOP how we can govern instead of doing some paybacks.Our planet is in peril, economy i recession, and two wars in front.

Yes, Joe is an Independent , who has the legitimate right to endorse McCain. However, democrats should not reward him with the chairmanship of a powerful committee. Because, he will align with the GOP when it comes to democrats policy matters. Once a flip flopper is always a flip flopper.

That weasel faced ,lying,cheating, [NON PARTY LOYALIST] piece of garbage should be thrown out of the senate or the decent people of connecticut should recall the slimeball.He should be adopted by Crist and the other GOP'ERS and let himdrive the bus for the next losing convention.

What does Lieberman expect? Evidently he thought to be welcomed back with open arms. I suspect he will play his trump card and threaten to caucus with the Republicans. Joe the Bummer.

Joe Lieberman chose his side during the election. He could have supported Senator McCain in a much quieter way – however he chose to be very public and vocal about it and can't be at all surprised that the chickens have now come home to roost.

I agree with Sen. Leahy. Lieberman would effectively hamper Obama's potential to bring about major and necessary changes in American foreign policy. His negative campaigning for McCain must not be forgotten

liberman is lower than a slug you dont sleep with youre best freinds wife and after you get caught say we all need to get along. bull sh t
let him go to the gop apperantly he made his mind up when he gave his speech at the gop attacking obama. the dem. won we dont need to cow down to the repug. thumbs down to liberman

Good. That weasel Lieberman should be in charge of the plumbing at the Senate. He knows a lot about sewers.

Senator Leahy, please do tell us how you got the moniker "leaky leahy" ….and they let you be chairman of the judiciary committee ???you should not even be able to hold public office…..

The Senate democratic leadership meeds to take a page from their newly elected President – Inclusion will go a lot farther toward success than exclusion. Senaror Leahy: Get over it and begin working on fixing what's ailing our country!

Some principles are worth upholding and this one should.

LIEBERMAN SHOULD STEP DOWN. IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE DEMOCRATS VIEW, THEN HE SHOULD BE A REPUBLICAN. STOP BEATING AROUND THE BUSH. YOU CANNOT BELONG TO TWO PARTIES. YOU CANNOT BE TRUSTED LIEBERAT…………

Pat Leahy's an idiot. Why should Lieberman get in trouble for helping out someone he believes in?

Lieberman is getting punished for his courage!!!!!

I agree with Senator Leahy, I am all the way for bipartisanship, to the point that I'd like president elect Obama to offer Secretary of Veterans' Affairs to McCain. There are three people with whom we should not deal,
Giuliani, he's a demagogue and an ideologue.
Palin, for obvious reason, see Couric
Lieberman, the man cant be trusted.

I say Lieberman should be made Chief of Staff…. Chief of the Janitorial Staff that is. Make him scrub the white house toilets.

"Um…. security…… yes, Vice President Biden has just clogged the toilet. This looks like a job for Joe Lieberman. Get him down here ASAP. Oh yeah, and tell him to bring Joe the Plumber with him."

Liarman is a disgrace to the Democratic party. The party however needs his vote and Obama should test his leadership attitude with the Lieber(liar)man issue. Obama should forgive him and Lieberman should understand the circumstance and resign from the committee.

If Senator Lieberman had any character, he would have resigned his committee chair when he chose to actively campaign for the other party. This is not about censuring Lieberman for supporting McCain. It is about choosing to go against your own party. In this case the honorable thing to do is resign if you cannot support your own organization. Gen. Powell said he was for Obama but did not actively campaign for him. There is a very fundamental difference in these two positions.

Leahy, the senator that leaked top secrets. He should have been put in prison for treason!!!!!!!!!!! But you follow the party line you are a good boy! I shall always vote and follow a man of his convictions and not a SHEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO JOE!!!!!!!!

Hey Joe …

Be a man … step aside

For a true believer to step in

See Ya Joe …

Let the rains weigh in… lol good job Joe The Liberman Plumber! lol..
Joe The Liberman Plumber thought McSame is gonna win the election and that The Liberman Joe Plumber gonna be his Secertary of State.. lol… Well, though luck Mr. Joe…

I beleive that Lieberman should caucus with Republicans because this man has no discipline and principle. Joe should understand that his action has consequence, and Dems have to show him the consequence. Otherwise, Dems would become a dragon with thousand heads.

HEY THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY. FREEDOM OF FREE SPEECH. AT LEAST LIEBERMAN SAID WHAT HE AND MANY OTHERS BELIEVE. BEFORE WE KNOW IT THE DEMOCRATIC WILL HAVE HIM JAILED.

Leahy's words are correct.. Lie-berman is no longer respected in this world and he should resign now. Lie-berman can join Sarah Palin in 2012 as her VP nominee.

Senator, l absolutely agree with you, its only a fool that will not agree with you in this matter. if possible he should be downgraded to be sweeping the floor of the Senate untill he will be disgraced and flushed out of that chamber.

Joe Lieberman did NOTHING while holding his Chairmanship seat. I agree, he's been nothing but dead weight. It's time to cut him off at the knees and let him go crawling to his buddy who didn't win, Sen. John McCain. Maybe they can share a few tears together. This is the same fool who talk trash about Sen. Obama at the RNC, what a jerk!

I say GET RID OF THE BACK-STABBING BUM!

Preach Brother Preach, it's good to support your friends but when all that stuff was said about Obama it takes the bigger man to step in and say I know you are my friend and I am with you 100% but lets run this campaign the right way talk to the American people tell them what you are going to do to help them with healthcare and other important issues that we are facing but instead he sat there looking like the JOKER that lost his shoe now he's the JOKER thats about to loose his seat!!!!!!!!!!

REPUBLICANS IT"S HEALTHCARE NOT WELFARE STUPID!!!!

Poor Joe Lieberman where is your friend McCain, shouldn't he be reaching across the aisle to save you. Maybe you can get Sarah up to the hill to wink and drop a couple of you betcha's around to save your hide. What you said during the campaign against your former party was despicable. You of all people know how hard elections can be, since your election was stolen in 2000. You deserve to wander the halls with McCain for a while.

LIEBERMAN SHOULD LOSE HIS CHAIRMANSHIP AS WELL AS HIS

SEAT. HE HAS PROVEN TO BE DISHONEST, DISLOYAL & SLEAZY.

GOOD, INTELLIGENT PEOPLE SHOULD BE IN POSITIONS OF

POWER, NOT SCUMBAGS & LOBBYISTS THAT HAVE SOLD THIS

NATION,TIME & TIME AGAIN. SEND THE SLEAZY LEPRECHAUN

BACK TO THE SLEAZY FOREST, WHERE HE BELONGS.

I can understand Senator Leahy's feelings on the subject of Lieberman. Lieberman solidly stepped over the line by perpetuating many of the tawdry and scurillous allegations. He not only banged the drum but he lead the chant in an effort to scare people out of voting for Obama. This type of conduct has repercussions and should cost Lieberman something.

the people have spoken, kick the droopy old b*stard out

YES! Joe LIEberman, campaigns for the Republicans, and when they lose comes back to the Democrats 'hat in hand'. Sorry, Joe, you choose the wrong side to align yourself with!

LIEberman, you have lost all respect. Time to retire.

The democratic party is looking for unity thruout the US as long as you do what they say.

Lieberman will lose re-election if he doesn't retire

It's time for reconcillation not revenge!

Maybe Lieberman should do the right thing and offer to resign from the chairmanship.

That should be ok. A turncoat always gets what they deserve.

Let him continue to Caucus with the Democrats if he wishes. But traitors should not be given high ranking positions in our party! Strip him of his chairmanship!

leahy should leave this alone

I agree with Pat. Lieberman needs to go join his party. I thought it was sad that he bucked the system to retain his Senate seat. He is the past.
