Would you please tell me why the democratic party in the Senate will let this "Turn Coat" Lieberman stay on any committee that he is on. They should strip him of everything and let him go with McCain totally.

I know that the people of Connecticut must regret ever sending that bootlicker back to Washington. Unfortunately after doing some research, I found that Connecticut doesn't have the ability to recall senators like a few other states. I can't wait until Sen. Obama's tidal wave sweeps through the Senate and we can finally boot this clown out.

In an interview with USA Today, "Republican John McCain said he won't try to ‘separate’ himself from a weakened President Bush or his unpopular handling of the war in Iraq to try to win the general election against Barack Obama, who has made opposition to the war a focus of the Democratic campaign."

Even if Uncle Fluffy tried to separate himself from Dubya he's showing more than enough weakness on his own.

So, Uncle Fluffy can't remember that he voted against investigations of what went wrong in New Orleans during Katrina.

Again, Congress needs to get a pair and stand up to Loserman.

Why doesn't McCain name his BFF VP and get it over with? Two white guys on the ticket who embody what is wrong with the Senate. Now THERE's a "leader you can believe in" - NOT.

"Traitor" Joe Lieberman is a national disgrace. I got a big laugh out of some news headline about this traitor being somehow influential in the global warming problem. I don't recall him doing anything to help with global warming. He's just another repugnant one who claims to do something yet doesn't.

"Tree Hugger" McCain is just trotting out "Environment Hater" Bush's sorry cap and trade program that will never work. He is only paying lip service to global warming because he thinks it will get him votes for November, but he'll do nothing to help make the problem better.

Go Obama 08/12!

Come November, when there will be changes in Congress, it may be possible then for Harry Reid and the rest of the leadership in Washington to punish Joe Lieberman. He is the ultimate DC insider and a 'Judas' as well.

In the meantime, he must be closely watched. Apart from the fact he is huge supporter of the war and McCain's nanny, he is more interested in Isreal's interests than ours and more interested in helping the GOP by pushing those interests.

I will never understand why the voters of Connecticut returned him to office, he no more has their interests at heart than the man in the moon.

Lieberman has started a GOTV, now, after they had a 3 month head start. Copy catism, most retarded.

McCain with regard to Bush, he knows that Obama has tatooed Dubya to his forehead, so his talking points all summer will be;

He loves him , he loves him not.

Because the Republicans would then control the Senate.
It would be a 50/50 split and VP Chenney would have the controlling vote.

If the Dems got a better hold on Senate this fall, the 111th 1st session will look quite different for Joe.

Politics makes for strange bedfellows.

In his own words, John McCain said I am GW Bush. No difference. He contends his judgement, knowledge and experience is what the country needs. Yet his judgement and knowledge and experience is no different than Bush's - and in all three categories Bush is, and has been, a complete failure. Why would a nation want another failed Presidency, another four years of secrecy, war, torture, job loses, recession, skyrocketing energy prices, contempt for the rule of law, failure to abide by the Constitution, cronyism, a government run by and for lobbyists and big corporations, unlawful wiretapping, massive budget deficits in support of one war after another, crumbling infrastructure, signing statements exempting the President from following the law, a Justice Department run as the Presidents personal law firm, and a President and Administration who have become a pariah among nations? This is the Presidency of GW Bush. This is what John McCain promises. More of the same, maybe even worse. More war, for sure.

A McCain/Lieberman ticket would be just like Vladimir Putin (GW Bush's good buddy)/Dmitri A. Medvedev. They have the same agenda and the same contempt for government by and for the people. Slam. Dunk.

Lieberman has seen the writing on the wall as far as Obama is concerned and has decided to join the good side of the force......

With morons like Harry Reid running the Senate, one has to wonder why anyone would want to have a quack like that as their leader....

When President Bush has better ratings then the democrat controlled congress, you know Reid and pelosi are not doing their job and should be fired.

If Liberman joined the Republicans the ENTIRE Senate would be handed back over the the Republicans and the committees would all have Republican Chairs and Republican Majorities.

Plus if Liberman changed to the Republicans he'd likely still retain his chairmanship of the Homeland Security committee - damaging the Democrats both politically and publicly.

So really there is no benefit to forcing him out of the Party.

He is trying to get on the GOP ticket. That's all.

It would be historic for him to have run for VP of both parties-never been done. (Obama's counterattack would be to pick Chuck Hagel.)

He would make some real heads turn if he switched party affiliation right now and turned the Senate over to the Republicans. He would also create more resentment toward the GOP and cause more Republicans to lose their seats in the fall.

If McCain would win the presidency (who knows at this point), I would think that Lieberman would be Sec. of Defense rather than V.P.

As for McCain's approval of the telecoms allowing monitoring without warrents and no oversight from the courts; this is totally objectionable. This is reducing our freedom to communicate with who we want and to say what we want. No wonder people say it would be a third Bush term.

Well all I can say then is I hope his days are numbered. And that he will have to pay dearly for the things he has done and that is being kicked out or voted out of the Senate.

I don't think we Obama supporters should be so quick to crucify Joe Lieberman. Lieberman has made it very clear where he stands (with McCain). It is much easier to deal with a known opponent than to try to outguess someone who veils their intention. It is excellent to know the opposition from Day 1.
