Alec Baldwin for Senate. It's even more ridiculous when you have to type it.

Alec Baldwin. Why not? The US has deteriorated into a celebrity run country anyways.

Did it have to be Alec (drunk, child abuser, cheater, has been actor, annoying person all around) Baldwin? Dingbat Celebrity Politicians is the purview of Republicans, not Democrats!

[...] Word of advice to politicians.  When your voice reminds less of "Clint Eastwood" than "Droopy the Dog," it would be best to avoid saying things that make you sound silly.  Case in point. [...]

Between two stand up comics I take Alec anytime. At least he is funny and he has principles.

Joe Lieberman needs to be careful...who would have thunk the Minnesotan's would have voted for Al Franken?

Why not run against Dodd?

I thought Alec was going to move out of U.S. in 2004 if Bush got re-elected. I will be happy to help him pack.

How can we trust Alec Baldwin as a senator? He promised us that if George W. Bush won the presidential election over Al Gore that he would move to a foreign country. Well, he's still here and Bush was not only elected over Gore, he was re-elected four years later. Mr. Baldwin certainly has shown us he has no intentions of keeping any of his promises.

Run, Alec. Take down sell-out Lieberman.

Oh, great! This makes me wish I were famous as well, so I could move to Connecticut and make sure Baldwin doesn't get elected to a national political office.

I am so tired of Hollywood types thinking they can just use their names to move into politics.

Lieberman is a traitor to America. His allegiance is primarily to Israel, and then America if its convenient. That is reason he abandoned his party for support of unnecessary wars in the middle east, because it makes Israel stronger.

It would be good if Alec Baldwin challenges Joe Lieberman for his Senate seat. After all we know that Lieberman's is only loyal to the racist state of Israel. He is an opportunist who doesn't care about America, and he has no business sitting in the Senate.

I always knew I liked Alec Baldwin. And I would love to see him unseat that sniveling, whinning, turncoat, Leiberman. I'm sick of his insults to the president and I'm disappointed that Obama shrugs them off and continues to treat this moran with the respect he doesn't get in return. I don't know how Leiberman pulled off winning the independent vote a couple of years ago but I suspect he took a few pointers from his great friends, the Bush/Cheney gang. I no longer reside in Connecticut, but I hope the wonderful people of that state have had enough of Leiberman by 2012.

Baldwin should stick to acting.

Go for it Alec...when you do, I'll enjoy watching you implode...what will be your campaign slogan..."Vote for me or I'll call you a little selfish pig"...I love watcing these hollywood freaks that tell each other they're great then think they know how to govern...

Didn't Alec Baldwin renounce his U.S. Citizenship and move to France when George Bush was elected?

I think I've had enough of the urban cowboy as a politician routine. We survived 8 years with a Clint Eastwood wannabe in the Oval Office and I thought he'd been replaced by a thoughtful, intelligent man – Sadly, even he has morphed into a fence sitting pol.

Connecticut deserves better than Droopy. I'm not sure Baldwin is the man though.

Joe Lieberman is out of touch with needs of our country. Alec Baldwin would be a welcome change.

There goes Alec Baldwin again. He is a loose canon! I don't know why anyone should pay attention to him and what he says.. He just says stupid things. There are so many fine actors out there who are intelligent and know when to keep their mouths shut. Alex Baldwin – he just wants attention. Senator Leinerman, don't pay attention to him. Don't waste your time on him. He won't stand a chance. Let Baldwin ramble on and on until he gets bald!

He has my blessing. Anyone who abuses his wife and child is my kind of real man.

I certainly am ready to contribute to an opposition to Lie-berman. Of course any money Lie-berman spends will cost me. My taxes -to- Israel -to- Lie-berman. I never thought I would see the day where we would have an Israeli in our senate. The "I' he claims is independant realy stands for Israeli.

Lieberman in a loser and a disgrace to the democratic party......I wish they would have ousted him when he so eagerly supported McCain......he is a poor excuse for a politician not to mention a poor excuse for a jewish person........

I guess that bonehead Baldwin didn't give up his US citizenship and move to Canada like he said he would if Bush was re-elected. Where do these idiot actors get off at. Just go away and yell at your daughter or something, and don't forget to write a book about good parenting.

Frankly, I think Lieberman is a comic.

Give it a shot, Alec!
If you treat your constituents even half as good as you treated your wife and daughter you'll make the perfect Democratic Senator.

Lieberman is what's wrong with Washington!

Papasan in AZ

Why doesn't Lieberman just stop the pretense, move to Israel and run for the Knesset, because its pretty clear he cares more about Israel than he does about the taxpayers of Connecticut.

Go for it Alec, Lieberman is nothing more than a right wing nut, hiding behind that so call Independent label. Connecticut will be better off without him.

Lieberman is a coward, traitor, and an opportunist.

Yeah, Make My Day Liebermann. Anyone that runs as an "Independent" – "Connecticut for Liebermann" party candidate after Democrats tossed you under the bus in 2006, deserves a challenger in 2012. May it hopefully go to a real Democrat next time. And if it happens to go to a Republican, well...what's the difference?

No kidding, get rid of that self serving snake LIEberman. I'll throw in $100.00 and I don't even live there!

I worked for the Kerry-Leiberman campaign, and would volunteer to take Joe out of that seat. But Alec is not the shot we should take. Sorry Alec.

Lieberman survives tough election battles because he manages to keep the military base alive and well funded. The first time Congress dowsizes the base at Groton, out goes Lieberman.

We have already one ambitious, liberal and inexperienced in the big office and we see how quick we go down. No more games!

It would make the Connecticut's day if somebody other than Joe Lieberman were senator as well.

Alec: Can't wait. Its time for Joe Lieberman to go where Joe the Plumber went. Wishy washy Joe, its time for you to go.

Joe, I assure you, you have no problem with this lugnut

I know this must be a misprint. Baldwin is not on the same planet as Lieberman. Despite what some of the liberals think about Joe, he is what is best for America and I for one appppreciate what he has done for all of us. Keep up the good work Joe!!!!!!

I wonder if Baldwin has seen "Team America: World Police," and if that's where he got the idea to run for office.

Baldwin would be horrible in a political office – too emotional and scattered in his thinking. But Lieberman has indeed become a joke. Now he's trying to channel Reagan, but the line worked for Reagan, because no one doubted his resolve. Lieberman is just a cranky old scold who seems more interested in blowing up the middle east than rebuilding America.

LIEbeman should loose.....

Baldwin is a JOKE. The guy can't even manage his small little domestic cocoon. Who in the right frame of mind would want someone like him to represent you at the national level???

With all due respect, just stick to your job as a comedian, Baldwin.

Me too!

Alec Baldwin would smear Lieberman like cheese on a cracker if he ran. At least Baldwin knows what he's talking about. I have no use for Joe Lieberman, either.

Typical liberal press. You are only posting positive statements for Alec. How pathetic !!!

He won in 2006 only because 70% of registered Republicans
abandoned their candidate and voted for him. Thus tipping the
balance of power in the Senate from the GOP to the Dems.

A classic example of a party shooting itself in the foot.

Hey, Joe, if you're going to (as it seems you did) use a movie quote, at least have it be from the right actor.

I will send money to Alec if he decides to run.

I will contributre to Alec Baldwin as well, Tony. Joe Lieberman campaigned for McCain. If he wants to be in love with a Republican then he can join their party. Him and the rest of the Conservatives in the Democratic party need to be kicked out.

There are three Alfred E. Neuman's, the one in Mad Magazine, the one who was "President" and this one. It's voluntary if I read Mad Magazine. The "President" one is going, going, gone. OK, Baldwin, whip this one, and it will all be over.

A sissified political, who could not even win his own Primary last time in the ring, pretending he is macho. He could not even carry Dirty Harry's underwear. I'll bet if he fired that .44 Magnum pistol the recoil would break Lieberman's wrist. What a joke !

NOTHING would be better political justice than for a Hollywood heavy-hitter to defeat a two-faced turncoat proponent of censorship.

Hey, Joe! Maybe the Parents TV Council will welcome you back when you get your keester handed to you.

Lieberman has nothing to fear from a dolt like Baldwin. As an actor he is excellent, but his ability to speak in public is somewhat limited.
I have no use for Democrats one way or another, but Lieberman has always impressed me. He has been a solid Liberal vote for years, yet the Democrat leadership turned on him like rabid rats. Still he was able to swat them in the election. He never let anyone bend what he believed was right to match the party line. He is one of the few politicians that I think has core beliefs beyond the latest polling numbers.
Democrats are better served leaving him alone and telling the lefty loons to back off.

Do us a favor, Alec, go back to Long Island and start up a " save the clams" cause. Connecticut doesn't need a Hollywood has been !!

Lieberman needs to be GONE. The day of the warmonger is history.

Joe,
I (a Republican) voted for you when you were a Dem. I voted for you as an Independent and I 'll for for you in the next election. We need more Senators that don't toe a party line and are willing to be Statesmen first and politicians second. Afterall, Country is more important than party.

Didn't you promise to move out of the US if "W" was reelected in "04? Another broken promise. You will have to run as a Democrat in that case.

I'm still waiting for Baldwin to keep his promise to move out of the county of Bush was elected in 04.

Before he decides to run for anything, he needs to play the voicemail he left for his then 11 year old daughter as a reminder of what a jerk he really is.

Baldwin better stay in hollywood, oh, wait, isn't he one of those crazy
hollywood nuts that said if George W. Bush won he was going to move out of the USA. Baldwin is just like those other hollywood liberals, a lot of wind.

The only Baldwin brother worth anything is Stephen, the one in his "right" mind. Alec is a joke. Go Joe. Center-Right USA is with you all the way.

I don't tend to make a lot of predictions, but it makes me happy to see Liebermann say something that overconfident and full of himself. I actually could see Alec the "comedian" kicking Liebermann's ass from here to Hartford.

Which would be spectacular, actually. I'm tired of Liebermann, tired of AIPAC and tired of feeling like the Knesset (the Israeli legislature) has a long-standing vote in our Senate. Senator Liebermann, I'm just letting you know as well, if Baldwin runs against you, I'll be contributing to his campaign too. I'm tired of your complete inability to respond to criticism and tired of the fact that you keep dragging America into Israel's brutal religious conflicts. It's a violation of the spirit of separation of church and state and I do not think you are taking action that's good for our country.

Well now Alec has to run. The wet blanket has 'challenged' him.

Just what the congress needs, more mediocrity and more ham.

Alec, I'm still waiting for you to move to France.

I'm no fan of lieberman, and would enjoy his ousting, however, AB I don't think could do it. He has shown to be wishy washy at best.

alec baldwin...come on this liberal dick washer he make hitler look like god oh thats right liberals they have no idea who god is seeing that he is for the whole world of people liberals they are just for them selfs look at health care they will ran it down our ass with out our consent......does that remond you of some one elas namely adolf......

I have no use for Baldwins.

Careful what you ask for Senator.......remember Al Franken was just elected in Minnesota

You go for it Joe, I'm definately not Democrat and the independents arn't much better, but, I do have some respect for you. You are where my respect for Connecticut people begins and ends..

Go for it alec. that way we can get you out of the acting scene for a while. YOu make me vomit.

Lieberman is a traitor, IMO, and a buffoon. Time to go, Joe. I will give money to Alec Baldwin, too –even though he's rich.

Lieberman is no more than a lacky for GWB and John McCain and he carries no clout. He's just an old senile gentleman who is all talk and Alec needs to clean his clock.

Thank you, Alec! Joe Lieberman needs to disappear from Congress. Now.

Just what we need, another politician with no education and strong desire to further their own ego.

I get a kick out of these idiotic acters that think because they are a celebrity in hollywood that they can throw there weight around in the political field!
Alec Baldwin is a loser and who really cares what he says or thinks?

Everyone knows that Alec is a leftist nutcase. Lieberman should be so lucky as to have him as an opponent. Liberal nuts like Alec that think that they are smarter than everyone else never fully understand just how really stupid – along with their crazy left wing idealogy – they really are. Baldwin probabbly voted for Obama more out of political correctness than for any other reason.

With all the skeletons in Baldwin's closet, I agree with Joe, "Bring it on". Another wealthy bored egomaniac who craves power. Poor man wannabe rich, rich man wannabe king...and a king ain't satisfied till he rules everything. Bozo

We all know who his rich base in Conn. consists of,the big money boys and girls that have homes in both Florida and Conn.and apartments and condos in the city of N.Y.

Gotta love those hollywood elites. "I'm not a real polition, but I play one on TV". Hollywood is a whole different world, and is nothing like the real world. Please Mr. Baldwin stay in Hollywood, and learn how to run your own family business before you try to run an entire states business! We have enough actors and comidians in Washington already!

The Deomcrat party is becoming full of d-list actors and hasbeen comedians. How apropos, since the Obama administration has proved to be quite a tragic comedy. If nothing else, I've been supremely entertained by the "decisions" made by this administration.

Baldwin cannot do any worse than Lieberman to my mind, and he may just do a whole lot better! At least like Reagan, he can act like a politician! I just hope that unlike Reagan, he could be a good actor as well as a good congressman!

Go on ahead, Baldwin! *LOL*

Cmon Mr Baldwin. I would love to see you whip that two faced hyporite.

This will be interesting – 2 liberals battling it out! Wonder if baldwin will yell at him and call him names like he did his daughter?

Balwin = another far-left nut in DC

Yes ,go for it Alec,then you can make a bigger fool of yourself than you did with your daughter.

Here is my comment: why do actors/actresses feel entitled to give their political views? Why do they feel it is their way or the highway? I don't see athletes at the ESPYs spewing their political beliefs. Firefighters, at least the ones i see on news, don't spew political views when they receive a medal for some heroic deed. Why do actors/actresses feel this is the right? I have never understood this. They probably never have had political science courses, government experience, etc. yet we allow them to babble on and give them press time. What is up with that!? Oh well good day to you all from the state that elected ARNOLD (more proof that we give actors way too much credit).

HE WILL MAKE YOUR DAY -- TRAITOR!!! He'll make your DAY, your NIGHT, your AFTERNOON, your EVENING, your MORNING... LOL

By the way – what party is Alec Baldwin in??? Did he vote for President Obama?

No more hollywood people in goverment please. we need people who are more in touch with the real word.

another obamonic actor who thinks that he is qualified to make judgments on foreign affairs., etc.

GO for it Alec! When you do send me an email so I can contribute to Lieberman's campaign!

You've got my support too, Alec.

Wasn't Alec the guy who was going to leave the U.S. if Bush was re-elected? He sounds like the ideal Congressman to me.

Senator Lieberman is in touch with the common American. He is on the moderate right with spending, crime and foreign policy while on the moderate left with civil rights.

After 2 years of severe leftist policies and money flying out the window, Senator Lieberman will have a cakewalk.

I say go for in Mr. BAldwin, I think you can win and get the Bush leftover out of congress, which would be a good thing for America.

Yes, please, Alec, make our day.

Baldwin is better than most actors. He is intelligent, fairly articulate and knowledgeable about the issues. That said, he is a punk and will get destroyed by Lieberman.

Joe Lieberman and chameleons have much in common.

I'm considering moving to Connecticut simply so I can vote against Joe Lieberman. A brain-damaged mule would look better to me in that seat.

Go after him, Alec, please!! This guy is a turncoat who will play for whatever side will keep him in his job. Let's vote him out!!!

Isn't this the same Alec Baldwin that was going to leave America if George Bush won his first election? Funny thing, I guess he couldn't find a better one because he is still around. Now this wife beater wants to call out Joe Liebermen? Ha ha, these self loving hollywood guys are just too much. I wonder if his daughter, the one he referred to as a, "Little Pig", will move to Ct, with him and help him campaign? Maybe his drug addict brothers might want to lend a hand also

Go Lieberman. You can murder liberal Hollywood, we have no use for them!

I'll contribute as well...the L in Lieberman stands for Loser!

Even if Miley Cyrus was running against Leiberman, he would never get my vote. He was a pathetic syphocant of the Bush administration and would think nothing of stabbing his own grandma in the back to further his political ambitions. I hope the good people of Connecticut have the sense to understand Lieberman is not in it for them.

Alec, please don't run. We need you as Jack Donaghy on 30 Rock. People of CT!!! Don't vote for him! They'll cancel 30 Rock without him! Good God!

The continuing existence of this weasel in our political system is an indication of the cancer that is eating up Washington. Lieberman embodies all that is rotten, poisonous, cancerous and corrupted in Washington. I ask you Connecticut, surely this man is not representative of you?

Baldwin's spouting off. He's not going to be successful carpetbagging into any state and taking over a senate seat.

I agree with him though that Lieberman ought to be sent packing. SOMEBODY – send Lieberman packing!

Me too. get rid of this war mongering dog. he plays both sides of the fence with no political morales or compass, just be close to the seat of power so as to influence things for Israel and not what is best for Amercia. I wonder who own most of those health insurance companies that lieberman is trying to protect??

Go for it Alec, Joe needs to ride off into the sunset and join Bush,...

Amazing how a few bucks makes everyone smart enough to run the country. Oh thats right, ol Californeea i the poster child for these "got more money than brains fancies". Not to mention decency isnt a prerequisite to hold office anymore. Wow who'da thunk that would matter!!!

Baldwin is a jerk. Like a lot of Hollywood liberals, he has all the answers. I wish he would move to Connecticut- he might get elected and see it isn't so easy.

Alec Baldwin sucks let him run for US Senator He will get about as many votes as Ned Lamont did in 2006 and still lose.

It is time to put this Bush's poodle back in the dog house. Go Mr. Baldwin.

LIEBERMAN IS THE PENULTIMATE POSTURING OPPORTUNIST POLITICIAN. There is no one in politics whose mere body language inspires a more powerful gag reflex. Alec Baldwin or Shrek, I don't care, anybody but Lieberman.

Yes you go for it Alec. Lieberman ,if you look at his voting record,sides with republicans most of the time. Also he looks out for the best interests of Israel, not his constituents!

Lieberman, go "indulge yourself" in private, please. Creep!

This is just too funny!!! Sorry Mr. Liberman, but you can bet Alec Baldwin will call you a PIG!!! I am sure you will find some humor in that name, just consider the source, everyone knows that Alec Baldwin is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, even his little daughter can vouch for that, Alec called his young daughter a Pig, so she can tell you that she took his pig name and laughed at him. Alec Baldwin is such a loser, he should move to CT and then move right on to another state, we do not need Alec Balwin or any of his kind.
Betty Phillips

Unlike Obama, he is a Jew and a man of God, with a lot of experience and good records.

Hey Alec, Why do you go call your daughter a bunch of crappy names, you Dad-of-the-year candidate.....oh, yeah, you did that already.....Alec Baldwin is an evil moron who hates his own family, yeah run for Senate you tool......

i hope somebody beats lieberman. we need him outta there.

Senator Lieberman needs to be careful. He may have won when he did, but he is very very vulnerable because of his shifts instead of his stands. The Senator would be wise not to be so self sufficient, because there are several known names in his state and outside of his state that can mount a campaign to oust him especially if he is not on the side of Americans.

Lieberman, quit insulting Eastwood.
When he said "make my day" it was something of substance.

Joe Liberman is the most worthless Senator in history.. I have no use for that Fraud and liar. Alec i hope you smear his ass all over the place, and show what a loser he is..I support you 100% Mr.Baldwin.

I am a Conservative but respect Joe Lieberman on a lot of issues. Alec Baldwin is an idiot; a complete idiot. He ought to stick to what he knows best and thats lousy acting. By the way, since he has so much free time, he should also work on his parenting skills.

I too would like to see Alec Baldwin follow through with his threat. Then we could determine whether Connecticut was as full of morons as Minnesota.

Agreed, go for it Alec! Leiberfool needs to be flushed.

Go Alec! Let's finally a get a genuine Democrat in the Senate representing Connecticut!

Baldwin is delusional. It doesn't matter if I agree with LIeberman or not, I would never vote for some smug carpetbagging Hollywood jerk who came to my state just because he didn't like my senator.

How much arrogance and gall can be wrapped up in one person?

Enough of young Bush admirers and cheek kissers... Look what Mr.LIEberman has done to United States of America in terms of supporting Mr.young Bush's get 'em in Iraq... We all truly need new souls and brains in the political environment...

Go for it Alec. When you do, send me an envelope so I can send my money to Lieberman's campaign. It will be great to watch him humiliated once again. By the way, thought he was going to leave the country 9 years ago when Bush went into office!! What a joke.

For once, Lieberman is thinking clearly. All he'd have to do is play that tape of Baldwin lambasting his daughter, and it would be over. Actually, because of that tape, any dreams Baldwin EVER had of running for office are dead.

The Democrats are a laughing stock when they promote a candidate like this wife beater and verbal abuser of his daughter. Hypocracy at its finest for you losers.

I am sure he would be a better choice than Lieberman.
I would vote for Alec.
You can't go wrong if you never vote for the incumbent.

Uh-oh. If he uses the same vicious rhetoric he uses when talking to his daughter, Joe might have quite a fight on his hands.

Alec Baldwin has always been very passionate about politics. It's good to have a celebrity who is in the United States. Fortunately for me, he is left as I tend to lean as well.

Lieberman, make America's day and quietly vanish.

Alec who? is that the fat brother that said that he would move out of the USA if Bush was elected? MOVE ON, YOU SAVAGE

I thought Alec left this country after Bush was elected. Who let him back in? But I do question Lieberman on his judgement. How you respect Baldwin as an actor? He is definitely a Grade B actor.

Alec Baldwin was both Al Franken in the senate together it would be hard to tell the two apart. Both are mindless.

I may have to move to Connecticut so I could actively support Baldwiin!

Get em Joe! We have had it with the Movie Star and Pro-Athlete Politicians!!!

Well, Minnesota was stupid enough to elect Al Franken, who is doing a crap job (no surprise.) So, I would imagine that there would be some foolish enough to vote for Alec Baldwin, he of gentle temperment and wise actions. Yes, didn't he use some pretty nasty language against his own daughter? A worthy congressman, he. What a joke.

There goes Old Joe! More interested in making headlines, than representing the people of CT.

Boy, I would pay big money to see over-fed, over-paid, spouse and child abuser, and hot air balloon Alec Baldwin get handed his head by Joe Lieberman!

He said he was going to leave the country if GWB got re-elected – too bad he stayed. But that will tell you all you need to know about his patriotism – it comes second to his party allegiance. And he called his own child a pig – that will tell you all you need to know about him as a man.

He's just another airhead actor who thinks he's something more than a paid meat puppet. To paraphrase from the line in All About Eve, when exactly does the piano begin thinking it wrote the sonata?

Anyone, especially a seemingly spoiled actor apparently given to adult tantrums, who for countless years has taken such pleasure and pride in making his critical left-wing politics public, should suck in his developed belly and give it a go. Rather than just be a hollow and annoying mouthpiece, Al Franken saddled up...and proved his worth. Go for it, Mr. Baldwin!

P.S. His work on 30 Rock is truly magnificent, I must say.

Here's to your success, Alec! I will contribute any time. It's not just you who has no use for Lieberman.

Please bring it on. You never know which Lieberman will show up. One time he is a football player, the next time he is a cheerleader.
He and Specter seem to be cross dressers.

Another Hollywood liberal with an inflated sense of his own importance.

Make my day? Dude, you got the wrong actor.

I forgot to put 'Look', if you look at Alec Baldwin's track record. Sometimes I get too much into these conversations.

Shouldn't it be "I have no use for [Baldwin]."

Alec may be an actor and comedian Joe but you are the joke.

Nah I won't be donating to Alec Baldwin's campaign Tony. If you at his track record, he is a very much an abuser and has a short temper at things. I don't want a person like that representing Connecticut. Besides thats part of the problem why our country is messed up. We have too many rich bafoons who portray a CEO or Senator, that think their the real deal all a sudden. Just because you play one on tv does not make you qualified. Anyhow, I think they need to do is pass term limits and get bafoons like Lieberman out of the Senate. I also think that they need to reform election laws so common folk like me or anybody else who has a real interest for the people can run for office and not have to be a millionaire. Problem with the country is that the country is being run by rich and corrupt folks who have no interest for the common folk, but themselves and their careers.

Alec Baldwin is a wing-nut. He'll fit right in with the liberal left.

Someone needs to take LIEberman down a peg or two. The hypocrite. Go for it Alex!

Lieberman is a liberal in name only, and Connecticut is a blue state in name only as well. They are pro-war rich people who rally for tax cuts and more deregulation all the time. Even the movie Stepford Wives was filmed there.

Well, Mr. Baldwin is so highly qualified to be a congressman, so why not? Seriously, I am really tired of actors mistaking some small talent in entertainment for the ability to lead. It's true that our current leadership is not exactly brilliant in their record to date, how can an actor believe that their fame gives them the connection with normal working people that is necessary to lead, especially from out of state?

Yeah seriously beat this guy who looks like sleaze.

He did mess up Gore's campaign in 2000, maybe he'll find a way to ruin Alec's too.

I still don't understand democrats how they put up with this guy. He even left the party, and campaigned for McCain, and yet they let him chair numerous of their committees?

Run Alex, Run. Here's one vote already for you. Lieberman is nothing more than a right wing nut, hiding behind that Independent label. After all the crap he said about the Pres. and still saying some negative things, I say boot him out NOW.

that's just what this country needs, somebody to hold al frankins hand and prove how studip we are. senator lieberman you have my support. He's proved he's not a KOOL-AID drinker

Getting Lieberman, a true Reslug, out of office would make everybody's day. I hope Baldwin does run.

You run, Alec......if you wanna hear that message left for your daughter played over and over again. I am absolutely no Leiberman fan but I can't imagine voting for anyone from that crazy family.Alec running for the Senate is one of Alec's best jokes yet!

We all know how "republicans" and Liberman is ONE, win. There is no an honest republican vote record in this country. They mount lying campaigns, they obstruct and send out phony emails like they are doing for the health care bill. If you found an honest republican they should have a bronze statute made in his honor because boy howdy they are very very few.

Alec is a Great actor, but while he is a great actor his politics just plain suck, as do alot of other actors views. Him and the rest should stay in Hollywood and do what they do best...ACT like they know what their doing.

I don't live in CT, but Alec Baldwin would make a better senator than Lieberman for sure.

SERIOUSLY!
AMERICA!

I got nothing against foreign nations trying to influence your country. They do it all the time!!!!

But electing a man who officially represents another country and electing him to your legislature on the bad assumption that the American people are his first priority! THAT IS WRONG!! And it goes against true democracy….

Come on Connecticut – YOU – ARE SMARTER THAN THAT – both Dems and Repups!!!

Northing wrong in butting his country first and wanting to protect Israel but NOT as an American politician.

Come on America – you are either a democratic country or you are not

Lieberman – the greatest disappointment in the Senate besides that has been McCain.
Old boys club – don't change the way it is now because God forbid they lose the cushiness in those old seats.

Alec Baldwin? Whose he? Oh, yeah, the guy who used to be married to Kim Basinger until she divorced him for his abusive and violent ways...the guy who's own daughter didn't want anything to do with him. Sure, Baldwin, like any normal parent and husband would support you as senator. Don't worry about him, Joe!

To think the constitution relied on the press to hold government accountable for their actions and provide the measure of objectivity required to keep the public informed in a responsible fashion.

So Franken has become the "sign of the times" and measure of how the public celeb worship has conflated with their political cheerleadership choices. It is a fitting end to the means.

Micheal Moore for President – 2012

I don't care even if it is republican, just get him out of my face. I have no use for him either. He is a ugly person.

Alec, go back to TV and your Fantasty World like ALL the other Hollywood Pinkos!

Alec Baldwin great idea. Go for it ! It's not my state but I'd vote for you

Thank goodness "Tony" is from FL, so he only can contribute to Alec's campaign and not vote for him. Perhaps the Dems can convince Chevy Chase, Mike Meyers and others to represent them in the Senate with Alec and Al Franken. Heck, how 'bout Carrot Top for a challenge to represent the Dems for the White House after the left wing (read: base) of the Democratic Party completely obliterates President Obama's chance for getting elected to a second term? Nice work folks!

Tell Alec first save the Manatees

Prior to 9/11, Lieberman was known for being a good politician, and Conneticut had progressive consumer protection laws. After 9/11, Iet the feeling, Lieberman would gladly sacrifice America and Americans for the good of Israel.

When are these egotistical Hollywood lefties going to finally understand that their popularity on the screen and the stage is not transferrable to politics? They tried to destroy Reagan and they endorsed both of Bush's opponents in 2000 and 2004, and it made absolutely no difference.

Like most democrats, they see the American people as dim-whitted, unthinking, stupid little children who will vote for them simply because they buy their art and are occassionally entertained by them.

Alec, stay home!! You don't stand a chance. You'll only make a fool of yourself.

Yea, thats just what we need, another mis-guided actor to play politician in real life.

I don't like Alec Baldwin but if I had to see somebody loose their seat, it would be Liberman. He sold out his party, changed parties and is overall a crybaby.

I would love to see someone kick Lieberman's butt.
His disloyalty is amazing. To think that he almost became vice-president is truly scary. Would he have gone on to stab Al Gore in the back like he did to his fellow democrats?
People like him and my own Senator darlin arlen need to be booted out.

Make my day? Ahh come on, that's Dirty Harrys' line. At least make up your own.
Baldwin's not that good of an actor which mght work in his favor,than again, he's not running in my state......

Lieberman is a man of principle and I have the uymost respect for him.

As for Baldwin.. give me a break. Another left wing liberal actor that for some strange reason is convinced he understands politics, etc.

“I respect Alec Baldwin as an actor and as a comedian,” added Lieberman, “if he wants to run, that’s his right.”

I don't particularly care for Senator Lieberman but that was well put.

I don't like Harry Reid. I'm going to move to Nevada and run for his seat. I know nothing of Nevada. I actually know nothing of what a Senator actually does. But I'm a celebrity, so people care what I think when I run my mouth. That's enough right?

Alec Baldwin is a big mouthed actor, I thought he was going to leave the country when Bush was elected, why is he still here? He doesn't care who he offends including his children. I sure would not want him for a Senator. We already have a clown in the Senate thanks to Minneosta.

Lieberman, there are not words to describe how self-serving and despicable you are.

Great job Joe!! Enclosed in this email is a check for double the amount anyone would send to Alec Baldwin to run against you.

Senator Lieberman is a man who offers wise words because he is a seasoned politician and knows as such what and what not to say. However his track record as a policy maker on Iraq war is quite uneventful.

Yes Alec go for it! Then every shady slimy thing you have done in the past will be open for public viewing. Can't wait to see the skeltons in your closet.

Really, Tony? Alec Baldwin?

The sad thing is I'd take a ultra liberal PETA loving Hollywood hack over Lieberman. 2nd choice would be a New England Republican He's one of those guys I wish would just go away.

ha.I'll believe it when I see it.

baldwin is the same guy who called his 13 year old Daughter a "thoughtless little pig"

Joe Lieberman should watch out what he wishes for. Alec Baldwin is an articulate, extremely well-informed and engaging man. As a political candidate, he would come across as a 'what you see is what you get' personality, while Lieberman's history is that of an amoebic glob that takes on the shape of whatever environment he finds himself in. In other words, he isn't much of a leader and is more of a classic political survivor. If the two men were ever to meet in a political debate, Joe wouldn't be able to keep up with Baldwin and it would probably be the first "No mas!" political debate in history. Lieberman's biggest problem is that nobody knows exactly what he stands for.

After reading the story below about Lieberman saying we should delay trying to cover the ininsured, I'm with Alec! Lieberman says he's for incrementalism, but attempts to reform health care go back to Harry Truman and even farther to Teddy Roosevelt. That's pretty incremental if you ask me. No more stalling, Joe! Or bring on Alec!

Why should we vote for a actor?? I'd rather have lieberman at least he knows something about politics

Wish I was a residsent of Connecticut, I'd definitely contribute to Alec Baldwin. You go buddy and I wish you all the very best, but most of all I wish you a huge win over Lieberman.

Being an independent means nobodies got your back. The people of Connecticut love him but one miss step to the or the right and he is done.

I am rolling my eyes over the prospect that Alec Baldwin run for the senate.

Baldwin literally has no clue. PUH-LEEZ.

Well Alec promised to move out of the USA if George Bush made president – never happened. All he ever does is wine. He sure woyuldn't keep his promises as a politician. Still waiting when is the move?

Independent? Give us a break. He's a liberal dem.

He will never make Senator after that riff he had with his daughter that was made public, who wants someone like that representing their state.

I am sure that Sen. Lieberman has very little to worry about. What a joke!

I thought Baldwin had moved out of the U.S.
I can't quote him exactly but it was something similar to this.
"If George Bush is elected President I will move out of the U.S."

I wish he would keep his promise and take 95% of Follywood with him!

I will contribute to Alec's campaign too!

Lieberman should just become a Republican and stop wasting everyone's time. He is just as nutty as the rest of the Republicons.

These nutty Republicons still trying to give advice on the war. Had they given George Bush the right advice on the war in Iraq, we would not be there today.
The American people do not want the party of NO giving any advice to this current administration. The former administration has set this country back decades.
The policy of the Republican party are too reckless, dangerous, and extreme. the cannot be trusted. Tom Ridge's recentstatement proves that.
Let's get health care signed without them. Had the Republican been in office, they would have done health care without the Democrat's support. Oh I forgot, they did nothing for health care when they were in office for the past eight years

Go for it Alec. When you do, send me an envelope, so I can contribute to your campaign.
