Bob Schieffer: Is your problem with the Democratic Party in general, or with Barack Obama in particular?

Lieberman: Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....my problem is with the party overall, ummmmmm...

1. My daughter saw this - didn't know about joeboy - she said he is a

traitor. I just laughed.

[Faygo Kid]

2. That's OK, after November you will be neutered, you weasel.

That scum bucket speaking at the GOP convention is the last straw.

[still_one]

4. He better be, I will NOT tolerate the Democrats to allow him on ANY committee after we win

[liberalmike27]

28. He is Scum,

And he is why Gore lost in 2000 more than any single factor. He really picked a lemon, and I hope whoever chose him for Gore, isn't choosing Obama's VP.

I too agree, that I look forward to his irrelevance in 2009, when we have up to, perhaps more than 60 Senators. I think this election could be that good, if we can get all the Hillary supporters in line. I know we won't get the ones that were Republicans in the first place, but perhaps we can get the ones who were democrats, and seem irrationally pissed off at the media, then blame it on Obama.

[still_one]

29. No question about it, Gore used terrible judgement in picking lieberman, however

I believe the main reasons Gore lost were two-fold

1. The vote counts were corrupted
2. The MSM slanted against Gore, lied about him, and misrepresented him

[still_one]

3. liberman like bush are merchants of death. They supported the invasion of Iraq

based on lies and misrepresentations, and by those actions have made the world less safe

The question is with 6 months to go do we really need him anymore?

There are republican Senators to counter lieberman like Hagel, so even if lieberman was kicked off the committees he hold, and decided to go with the republicans, would it really change anything in the Senate? I think not

[loyalsister]

10. He just sat and lied about Obama's position

He said that Obama wanted to withdraw on a time schedule with no regard for what was happening on the ground. I so wish he would face the humiliation of another pres. campaign loss as VP nominee. :mad:
He must be trying to get revenge for his recent humiliation on the Senate floor. I would think he would have seen enough of Obama's campaign to know better. We'll see the rapid response by the end of today.
Beware: He may be looking for the moveon\antiwar response. They are not stupid.

[butterfly77]

13. This ass didn't just start doing this...

he has been on board with bush from the beginning until he couldn't hide it anymore, when the war began he really started showing who he is more and more,.

For him its all about war and Israel, he played like he was a Dem for years then when he lost as a Dem because people were on to him he began playing Independent and won. Go Google him and you will see plenty of pics with him smiling and co-signing with the RepubliCONS..

[still_one]

23. He is no real friend of Israel, and neither is the bush adminitration

Their actions have destabilized the whole area, and hurt all concerned parties

[rucognizant]

16. YES IT WOULD!

He is the majority in the Senate! Because he committed to vote with the Dems and in a lot of cases he suprises me and does so.
ANother 6 months isn't that long! HE doesn't have the power to order invasions.

But BOY he is hard to listen to.

WHY is it that if you have a college degree you can get hired, but when you have put the equivalent time into reading history, serious blogs by people who are in a position to KNOW things............studied the FACTS; Your opinion is not worth more than a person who just spent the last 8 10 years, shopping in Walmart, Lowes, etc, not thinking a bit about the political situation?

[ooglymoogly]

5. Think I'll just go somewhere and puke.

wolf in sheeps clothing

[World Citizen]

6. Wake up Connecticut!

Uncle Joe is the republican senator from the state of Israel.

[curiousdemo]

14. Traitor!

:kick: :dem:

[Plucketeer]

7. I couldn't listen to the whole thing

"Poisonous partisanship" - This puke must wear one HELL of a set of blinders!!! I'm sure glad for him that his newfound party doesn't practice such an evil tactic. Let's see now.... HOW MANY Filibusters have they put up this session??? Joe LIEberman=living, fetid scum.:thumbsdown:

[MiniMe]

8. What a bunch of shit, and what the shit said was pretty bad too

[wurzel]

9. Lieberman has the same problem with Dems all Repukes do!

[L0oniX]

11. Rat ...

"I ‘Don’t See How It Matters’ That I Don’t Know The Price Of Gas" --John McCain

"I disagree with what the majority of the American people want." --John McCain

[fascisthunter]

12. Lieberman is Responsible for Al Queda's Growing Support

he is an active part in supporting the occupation that has inflamed Iraqi sentiments against America and our soldiers. It's his support for staying in Iraq that is drawing so much support for Al Queda and the insurgency. Lieberman is war criminal and a liar.

[AspenRose]

15. Then do us all a favor and GET THE HELL OUT OF THE PARTY!!!!

:nuke:

[Phred42]

18. The PArrty already kicked him out - He's an "I-CT" now

He calls himself an Independent Democrat - not the DNC.

[Phred42]

17. LIEbermann KNOWS he's loosing everything in November

Re: Committees and any real hold on the Dems

He's HAS to suck up to the Repugs now. his VP potential aside.

Stick a fork in him - he's done.

[Hulk]

19. This jack ass is totally transparent.....he wants OUR PRESENCE IN THE ME.....plain and simple.

He wants us there for the protection of Israel, at any cost, no matter how much it negatively upsets the region. No matter what the natives of Iraq or Iran or Syria, or any other Muslim nation object. He wants US there!

This is why he supports mcAncient. Pretty straight forward. He keeps quoting the days of JFK, and how we need this strong military that doesn't back away from doing whatever we think is necessary for OUR goals and objectives.

He is an imperialistic neocon chicken-hawk. Doesn't matter how much blood and treasure we lose. Doesn't matter how many Muslims we eliminate or upset. Doesn't matter what anyone else on this planet thinks and how this affects them. Is simply a question of "protection for Israel".

This is utter bullshit!!!

[mckara]

20. Lieberman is Full of Shit!

Is he in the Senate to represent Connecticut or other interests?

[hasssan1]

21. HE IS A COCKSUCKER

[swag]

25. Stop insulting cocksuckers.

Where would we be without cocksuckers?

Blowjobs are nice. When will people realize that?

[mopinko]

22. people, we have fallen down the rabbit hole.

that is the only explanation i can come up with.

[nachoproblem]

27. I think that should be his nickname.

Senator Joe "Rabbit Hole" Lieberman.

At least every time I look at him, something makes me think of fluffy, small-brained, easily-frightened animals and orifices.

[Postman]

24. He's an Israeli agent.

n/t

[nachoproblem]

26. Woo! Nice Freudian slip!

"... because ultimately, puts his party -- excuse me, he puts his country ahead of his party..."

Or more accurately, he puts rolling over for Chimpy ahead of being an actual human like he used to be. You know, rising above all that poisonous independent thought that has plagued our country so long.
