joe lieberman is an honorable man where as dodd should be in jail along with barney frank for causing all this banking mess they created in my opinion they are in the same league as madoff ripping off the taxpayers of this country and then acting so innocent about it

Anything to do even belly rub, Lieberman, the all directions to keep butt safe! Good Ol' Boy Politican, EH!

It's time for the voters of CT to get rid of both of these clowns.

Connecticut deserves better.

Christopher Dodd should resign

Lieberman's endorsement doesn't help Dodd, and it might hurt him. Ned Lamont's endorsement would be better, especially if he were junior Senator from Connecticut.

Minnesota and Connecticut both make me wish that there was some way to do business without every state having two senators.

If he survives another round of elections here in CT then we have failed as citizens and our purpose of electing OB1 to help get the goverment on track would be in vain.
Like someone already mentioned he is trying to side with that looks likely to win. He needs to go.

Wonder if he is a close enough friend to visit Dodd after he goes to prison?

What this nation desperately needs today is ....

Another JosephMcCarthy in the US Senate and a few good men to stand with him to purge the government of all the existine elected officials, starting at the top. This nation needs a new begining and it is not the one in progress at this time. What we are faced with now is an administraling that despises the form of government given to us by the founding fathers.

Lieberman is just another republican joke.
Does anybody really listen to him after his stint backing John McShame.

Lieberman is a traitor and a coward and should have been read out of the Democratic Party.

Lieberman, Dodd, Frank, what's the difference?

Ali Obama and the 535 thieves

Welcome back Joe. The fact that your guy lost is the only thing that saved you. As bad as things are now just imagine if McCain had won.

Obama is more forgiving than I would have been but he has a country to run and his hands are too full to hold a grudge.

Joe is ridiculous. This guy guy has no shame. He goes with the flow of the wind. He is such a snake. I bet his constituents are scratching their heads over this guy.

Well, there's a sucker born every twenty one seconds...probably more frequently these days.
I am disappointed in Lieberman for selling out his principles and reuniting with Chrisopher Dodd, one of the architects of the collapse of the banking system and the subsequent distruction of all those 401k accounts. I guess money talks, eh Lieberman?

Round Table? King Arthur? Lancelot? You really do live in the Past.
Who is your Merlin????? Mr Obama????

Boy, Lieberman sure seems to bend in the wind, doesn't he?

"Bill, Bloominton IL March 12th, 2009 3:14 pm ET

Once again Joe is showing he is better than the democratic party."

No i think he is taking a Que from President Obama
who was above it all to say let him Joe keep his seat when everyone else wanted to throw him overboard.
It's not that he is too good for the democrats , it's that he knows he is in debt to the democrats.

Lie -berman could never do enough to get back in the good graces of the Dems.

United States Senate.... the most powerful Good Ol Boy network in the world.

WHO CARES ???? CERTAINLY NOT THE DEMOCRATS !!! JUST WHAT BASE WOULD JOE BE BRINGING TO THE TABLE ????

I like Liebermann much more than Dodd. With more Senators like Joe, Wahsington wouldn't be so screwed up.

WHO CARES ???? CERTAINLY NOT THE DEMOCRATS !!! JUST WHAT BASE WOULD JOE BE BRINGING TO THE TABLE ????

Joe must be looking at picking up some real estate in this distressed market and knows Dodd can get a sweetheart mortgage deal for him.

I hope Dodd goes the way of Tom Daschle and the dodo bird. Dodd should be in jail with Bernie Madoff.

After all the hatred from his liberal buddies, Lieberman STILL wants to support him? A better man than most although Dodd and Frank needs to get booted!

Lieberman has left a bad smell in a lot of noses after the last election and if CT's smart he'll be looking for a new job soon.

Dodd is not going anywhere. We can't afford a republican(war, war, war) in the senate. We know what they are capable of doing. We saw it when they had the WH, both chambers of Congress. We are spending $12B in Irak per month because of them. That's where the economic troubles started...

Can you imagine with Liebermann and Dodd together in the same place? Between Joe's face and Dodd's neck, that has to be at least a few square miles of hanging skin!

lie-berman needs to go the way of the wooly mammoth.

Now it turns out that Dodd has a "cottage" in Ireland acquired at a very cheap cost from a crooked stock trader whom Dodd help secure a pardon from Clinton in the final days of the Clinton administration. further, he appears to have under reported the value of this interest in his financial disclosure statements to the Senate.

And I thought Liebermann was a man of principal, enough so that I've voted for him twice. I won't make that mistake again. they both should go.

That people fall for Lieberman's smug self-righteous is what is really creepy - Jonestown creepy. That man is his own party; he took care of Number One when he kinda sorta ran with Gore, then pulled out all the stops (casino contributions) when he got thoroughly drubbed by Lamont in round one. The he was an independent, the he was a Democrat. Sure. The man simply has no principles, he is a Machiavellian Munchkin.

We lost the battle, because the message got there late.

I understand that he's writing a book, "The Many Faces of a Politician."

Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative, Obama or McCain – they never leave home without at least two faces.

Go Simmons,
Time for the deadbeat spender, one of chief causes of the banking crisis, to take a fall for all his stupidity.

Please people get Dodd out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dodd ought to go He is a negative – does more harm than good. He is one of the largest recipients of contributions from Fannie mae – has fought oversight over that toxic company – and is hair of the Finance Committee where he is ineffective and ill equipped to handle the crucial Wall Street and banking issues we have today. We need somebody NEW

Liberman is only with the Democrats now because they won and are Popular If the Republicans come back in 2010 or 2012 And thats a Big IF He will be sucked up to them He needs to Go!

This is nothing more than Liberman trying to look after his own arse when his election happens. Chris Dodd is one of the chief architects of the sub prime mortgage mess, along with his buddy Barney Frank. If Connecticut re-elects Dodd they are mindless, unprincipled fools

Re-elect Lieberman 2012 March 12th, 2009 2:49 pm ET

Despite mean-spirited criticism from partisan Democrats, Joe Lieberman is one of the most admirable figures in Washington politics, a man who consistently puts principle ahead of politics and political party.

************************

His support for McCain was inexcusable.

Can't wait for Lieberman to be unseated ... what a horrible creep! He's *still* kissing John McCain's butt and blathering about the wars. He's a great representative ... for Israel. Connecticut citizens might want someone who actually cares about their concerns – he's not the one.

I can't stand both these. What is it with these idiots in connecticut ,so out of touch and keep on electing jerks.

Lieberman is a turncoat weasel. Who cares who he supports ... it will change by tomorrow. Dodd should renounce his support.

Please, Connecticut; get rid of Lieberman.

LET JUSTICE BE SERVED AND BOTH OF THEM ARE OUSTED, LIEBERMAN IS A TRADER AFTER CAMPAIGNING WITH MCCAIN THEN HAS THE NERVE TO SHAKE AND HUGG PRESIDENT OBAMA. TWO FACE BOLD LIAR

He has way more class than Dodd, and the rest of the party that forsake him in the last election. How he backs a guy that took a kickback from COuntrywide is beyond me though.

Sen Lieberman is a principalled man. I am glad he is still in the senate. Even though he is a democrat at heart, he is conservative and will stand up for his conservative principles.

Once again Joe is showing he is better than the democratic party.

Lieberman is a cretin

'...as good of friends.....' ? No wonder Americans can't read or write correctly!

Time for both to go. Lieberman, changes his mind, then changes again to do whatever is best for him. If he is wrong he'll change again. Dodd needs to answer as to why the banking system continues to fall while he was head of the banking committee.

I hope two strong candidates oppose them so we can vote both out. They served well in the past, but that time is gone and CT needs to move on without these two.

That is so like Leiberman,only wants to play for whatever team happens to be winning the game at any given moment! A TRUE POLITICIAN!!!!!! Can you say TERM LIMITS?

Both men have overstayed their welcome in politics. I wouldn't trust Lieberman as far as I could throw him. He's pathetic. And Dodd has been unmasked as part of the economic woes we are dealing with right now. Time to say bye, bye to both!

Lieberman? This guy is still around? He has about as much weight as a feather to put behind Dodd.

Dodd's time is up. Should share a cell with Barney for what they did to this country.

Forgive and forget!

Lieberman is a traitor and a scumbag, he is the one that needs to go!

Get rid of Lieberman! He back stabs everyone and only cares about being re-elected!

Joe, keep away from Chirs - he's goona go down like the paid off crook he's turned out to be - still has not told us how he got such a sweet deal on his mortgage - and remember, he said he did'nt know how or why he got it - yeah right - shine up ur resume Chris, ur goona be standin in the unemployment line just like me - and I'm there because of u - u bum.

Despite mean-spirited criticism from partisan Democrats, Joe Lieberman is one of the most admirable figures in Washington politics, a man who consistently puts principle ahead of politics and political party. Like any other legislator, he's not always correct, but he's among the few who will take a position regardless of how it affects his political image. I hope CT has the wisdom to keep this man in DC come 2012!

That's fine and dandy, but I'll still be a lot happier once Lieberman has been replaced in the Senate by someone more progressive!

Cameleons are always changing color to adapt to their environment--along with politicians.

Leiberman is trying to get back into bthe good graces of the Dem's.

I don't think Dodd supported Lamont in the primary, just in the general when Lieberman was running as an independent.

Dodd should be in jail right next to Madoff.

I don't think Lieberman has much influence with Democrats in Connecticut anymore.

This is one seat I wouldn't mind the Democrats losing.

I hope the voters are smart enough to throw both these men out!
Dodd is an idiot and is the cause of s lot of our banking woes and Lieberman is a Republican in Independent cloths. This is coming from a Democrat.

Dodd needs to go.
Doesn't matter who replaces him, Dem or Rep, it's just time for him to go.
He bears some responsibility for the economic mess we're in right now given his role in congress now and during the Bush administration.
I didn't see him speaking out about any of the banking regulations, or lack thereof.

Lieberman is such a wiesel...after attacking President Obama during the campaign, he is all of a sudden lavishing praise on him when he realized that Connecticut voters approve of the President.

Dodd needs to go bye-bye. He is past his worth to this nation.

Dodd, is great, Lieberman stinks

LIEberman, is an opportunist. He will be whatever benefits him.

Hey...... Joe LIEberman....... you should retire, you lost all credibility when you joined the lying-and-vile McCain campaign!

@ KEN...... considering that Dodd has ONLY been Chairman of the Senate Banking committee since ....... 2007, when Democrats took control, I vote for giving him a chance. Two years, is hardly enough time to make a difference!

Also..... Lest we forget....... when the GOP was in power, controlling both House and Senate they got RID of many banking regulations that were set in place to AVOID this whole Bush Disaster!

The banks that are failing NEED to fail.

Joe, the traitor, Lieberman, about as low as you can go, I wouldn't vote for him for dog catcher.

Untill the next time Dodds chooses his party over Lieberman's friendship. Partisans make me sick. They will choose their party over their family, friends and country.

Don't fall for the party line people. Do your homework on the issues and think for yourselves.

Getting an endorsement from Lieberman is about as good as an endorsement from George W. Bush. Dodd will have to explain how his Banking Committee performance has helped the American economy. Or maybe Dodd will do the honorable thing and give someone else a chance to serve?

Joe, how could you? Dodd is one of the primary reasons the US financial system got into trouble (the other primary reason is Barny Frank).

Of course he did. If Dodd remains, he has the power to make sure little tidbits continue to be thrown his way.

Lieberman sucks up to whomever is in power–period. Where are the real news stories–like how Obama angered the European nations by implying they weren't doing enough, or how we have the worst relations with China in 8 years, or how Obama is backing off on trade talks. This is becoming the Obama mouthpiece propaganda station–too bad–you were once respected.

After betraying the democratic party the past election, I guess Joe Lieberman feel the need to try and reinstate his loyalty by supporting Dodd's upcoming battle for re-election. Hey, we can use all the help we can get.

Dodd is corrupt......oust him.

I read this before..."Great nations have interests not friends". What happened to the commision that was to look into the mortgage crisis. Steele should let this one go nor should Senator McCain. Don't let Maddoff be a distraction.

Is this Lieberman attempting to snuggle back up to the democratic party? Lets hope that CT voters have more sense than to elect this moron ever again.

It's time for Dodd to go. He's been the Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee at a time when these banks are failing left and right. I hope the voters in CT see what a failure he's been.

shame on Lieberman
Dodd caused the financial crisis (in part) and got a great mortgage deal!

If I were Dodd I would say thanks but no thanks! Liberman is a rethuglican at heart pure and simple.

Dodd's role in this bailout fiasco along with his mortgage deal should seal his fate as ex-Senator...enough is enough...Joe Lieberman likely felt he had to endorse Dodd due to Democratic pressure after he backed McCain, so his endorsement is meaningless to me.

Friendship goes only so far. Dodd and the imperious and totally flawed Barney Frank were both responsible for the first step of the sub-prime mortgage scandal. Now, of course, they're thrusting themselves into the spotlight, blaming, don't you know, George Bush. Dodd will lose badly.

Great...Dodd has the backing of a Senator who is more concerned with the welfare of a foreign nation than that of our own.
