Joementum has jumped the shark. Joe shows that he wants no legacy. That he simply wants to be remembered as an angry old man that was spurned by his party.

He is a lot of Zig Zag Zell Miller. Old, used up, and angry.

I think this was his last parting shot at the Democrats who opposed him in his last Senate run. If Democrats pick up more seats in the coming election they won't need Joe anymore. They can kick him to the curb and strip him of his chairmanships.

Can somebody get this guy a plane ticket home. Oh wait the Connecticut Democratic party tried to, however, idiots and traitor like From and the ridiculous DLC (Diet Lite Conservatives) got him into the Senate.
Next election he's out, and his kind (capitulators) are out too.
It will be the easiest election for an opponent ever. Ned Lamont steps to the podium and in a few words wins the whole thing by saying, "I told you so."
Democrats need to hold defectors like Lieberman up as an example of what not to do. He should be dismissed and criticized by the entire party.

As an ardent supporter of Israel, Joe Leiberman has no choice but to support a pro-Iraq War candidate; someone who will continue America's belligerent Middle East policy, much to the detriment of American citizens and taxpayers. Unfortunately, our politicians will never criticize America's costly pro-Israel policies, for fear of the very powerful Israeli lobby. Howard Dean spoke out about Israel and look how quickly his political life was over. How it is in America's best interest to financially and militarily support a racist Zionist state in the Middle East. Joe Leiberman's odd switch to the right makes perfect sense. Remember McCain's weird rendition of the Beach Boys song, "Barbara Ann" ? ? ... "Bomb, bomb,bomb,. . bomb, bomb, Iran". Can you see what's coming next if McCain is elected? . . or for that matter Romney, Huckabee or Saint Rudy of 9/11.

Hillary needs to come out against Joe Lieberman immediately. If she does so she could crush some of the momentum of Obama and reaffirm some support from the left. If she does not take Lieberman on then she should have to answer if he could be a candidate for VP. This guy, the DLC, and all other Blue dog capitulating Democrats need to be replaced with real, progressive Dems who aren't afraid to stand up to special interests.

I bet you that Edwards makes a statement, and that is why he is the favorite of the real Democratic Party. Obama won't say anything and can't. If played effectively (i.e. John all over TV repudiating this thing) then this could be the move Edwards uses to lock up Iowa.

Bill, Albany, NY — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 19:25:02 GMT

lol at the Republicans not supporting minorities, lets check on that. Do we know why Republicans do not hold the Black and LGBTT vote? Yeah, we do. It goes back to M.L. King Jr for the black votes, LBJ basically bought him off to support the Democrats to keep supporters out of jail (read Dr Shelby and then look into who got King out of jail and on what conditions, it isn't black and white, so read in between the lines). The Dixiecrats though began to convert to the Republican Party after that, weakening a VERY pro-civil rights party. These converts do not represent the Republicans and most of us want them out, elections be damned.

But lets not forget that a prominent Democrat was in charge of the KKK. Lets also remember that GW has had more minorities in his cabinet than any other president in history (even the “I marched with Dr King” Clintons).

The LGBTT vote is a not a big surprise. The religious right does not believe they should be allowed to marry, etc. It’s their right to think so, wrong as it may be. On the other hand, most Republicans would love to have the majority morally and fiscally conservative LGBTT vote as we share many of the same values.

What is comes down to is a fringe element in the GOP that is scaring away the very people we want to join us. The Black community is, for the most part, very conservative and share the same family and social values as we do; it is not socially acceptable YET for them to be labeled Republicans, lest they also be labeled traitors. The same holds true for the LGBTT community. We are seeing more people though coming out and stating that they are conservative. Please argue that point as Liberals are marking J Liberman as a traitor for voicing a different opinion, heaven forbid that you don’t fall in line.

Values can transcend party lines, and while the Neo-Cons have led us down a dark path, those moderates who still hold true to equality and tolerance under conservative tenants will win back this party and restore it to these goals.

Either that, or the Republicans are done, and we will leave the hate monger Neo-Cons to wallow in their own irrelevance.

Maybe both of these deluded old pols ought to just follow Trent Lott's example and get out while the getting is good. McCain isn't going to get the nomination much less the White House, much less as an independent with Lieberman as VP.

Of course the extremist, isolationist kooks of the far left and far right hate Lieberman. To me, Lieberman's support of the great nation of Israel is a reason to vote FOR him, not against. No sane, decent American needs to explain why he or she supports Israel against its ongoing struggle against the Islamofascists; instead, it's you - the Internet antisemites - who need to explain why you hate the only democratic nation in the region and America's best friend.

Lieberman lost it by not staying in touch with his voters, and instead of blaming anyone else should take a long hard look at himself. Which, since he is an angry old man, is incapable of doing. Hope Conn. voters kick him out the next election.

Don't know how Lieberman gets up in the morning and looks at his mug in the mirror.

Undoubtedly, we'll hear from some pundit to verify the first time EVER a candidate who secured his party's nomination for the Vice Presidency resurfaces 8 years later or, for that matter, any time later to endorse a Presidential candidate from the opposition party.

Since Lieberman's presence in the Democratic caucus has not resulted in even a single vote going the Democrats' way since they gained control of the Senate, I urge Harry Reid to do what needs to be done to any Senator who would sell out his party, and boot Lieberman out of the Democratic Caucus ... NOW!

Lieberman, Lieberman, Lieberman, you have become a symbol of traitorism by zionist politicians who have destroyed our political system by the money politics and lobbyism in Washington. Thanks Lieberman for exposing the zionist fascism that has hijacked our democracy.

Lieberman and McCain make a great team, two War-mongers!Lieberman never represented the Democrates
or the people of Connecticut. The Democrates that
supported Lieberman made a big mistake and the Democrates in the progressive state of Connecticut
who votred for him, should have known better. He
should be recalled!

What say you democrats about The Boston Globe also supporting McCain? Something to be said about a liberal newspaper supporting him as well? These aren't stupid people, yet they're crossing party lines to support a man who will not only bring this country together, but will gain respect around the world.

Give Joe the credit .... to recognize a circus act when he sees one .. and that's just what the Democrats have been, currently are and will offer to America with their current crop of candidates. Both McCain and Lieberman are true leaders that clearly understand where the nation is and where it needs to go .. so I say Thank You Joe for the Leadership you showed today and will show in the future.

Israel is nuclear. They will not be pushed into the sea by anyone that doesn't want a mushroom cloud blooming over their capital city. They hardly need our help although I suppose they don't mind Americans fighting and dieing to their advantage. No matter what you think of him, Lieberman has done a fine job as Senator from the great state of Israel. If they could just find a final solution to the Palestinian question.
Shalom, through superior firepower.

Lieberman sees to represent the interest of a country other than the United States. Why are U.S. poloticians sooo afraid of the Jewish lobby? What's good for Israeli is not always what is best for the U.S.. The two are not always the same. So many in the U.S. seem to be confused about this!!!!!

Joe Lieberman is not Democrat, Republican or Independent. The reason he's supporting McCain is because of McCain's support of the Iraq war. Lieberman's true loyalty lies with Israel; everything he says or does indicates he's concerned more Israel's interests than America's.

Democrats and republicans are really the same creature. Very few on either side care about what the were elected for. Power is the only thing they care about and as we sit around thinking how great the democrats are and how republicans suck, and how democrats suck and how great republicans are, we are actually getting screwed by all of them.

WAKE UP. They are all out for themselves. THe republicans use 911 to get everything they want through and the democrats say "We don't have to do anything..I like what the republicans have done for us."

Bottom line...they are mostly in it for themselves and to hell with us because we only matter during election time.

C'mon prove me wrong.

He is all there for Israel.... nothing else. We have a corrupted political system, corrupted by zionist lobbyists, zionist politicians, zionist media etc etc.

Ah,the evil ''Zionists''again. No wonder the Arabs laugh at us. DESPERATES faux-toughguy routine masks central truths. When Virginias Democrat Rep. Jim Moron[or is it ''Moran''?],stated in a speech in 2005 that ''The Jews are becoming too powerful''[before anguished aides could turn the mike away knowing what was going to come next], he touched upon the libels that have haunted the Jewish people for over a thousand years,and accepted them as a form of gospel. Thus,anti-Semites who yet quail at the term being directed at them,nevertheless freely buy into philosophies made ready to order in not simply the formative years of the Nazi period,but earlier observations made by Russians,Europeans[and even Americans. Henry Fords 1917 book on the ''dangers''of ''world Zionism'' played so nicely into Nazi hands that Hitler kept a German translation of Fords screed in his library in the ''Eagles Nest'',a favoured retreat in Bavaria],made plain that the world was under ''Zionist [this word is traded for ''Jewish''so as to promote an ostensibly non-''anti-Semitic''credential]domination''.
Nothing has changed. The Left sees the talons of ''AIPAC''pulling the strings of all but those politicians[usually African American members of Congress,who are in league with terrorist dictators including the late Arafat],acting as a worldwide ''Illuminati''.A recent trip to Friscos leftwinged bookstore CITY LIGHTS confirmed this view with one tome after another perched on shelves detailing the sinister influence of these ''Zionist cabals''.

Yet no-one speaks of the influences being spread by Arab nations which include the purchase of entire political systems with the not-to-be-resisted allure of tons of petrodollars which have been a staple of Democrat politics since the decades-ago ABSCAM scandals which used FBI agents-as-phony sheiks. Bahrain,Qatar,Dubai and Saudi Arabia are busily invading Americas politics through the usage of lobbyist fronts,which are primarily made up of former Clintonistas,peppered with old-Guard Bush I and Reagan apparatchiks,and buying up large sections of America. Indeed,as it now stands,for sheer wealth,the oil-larded Arabs are performing a tour de force in directing the nations economic and foreign policy arenas in ways that benefit these to the point of virtually chaining the nations fortunes to their own. Bill Clinton,and several of his old pals are working to further this relationship,with Bill actually keeping his friendship with the Emirates Princes as a portion of his resume.
Obviously this becomes a lesser of two evils approach. Lessee. A nation the size of Delaware surrounded by nations whose size and population would equal the remaining 49 states,all of them out for Jewish blood.[yes,even Egypt,which has been backsliding away from the Sadat period of peace with Israel for many years now],a democratic voting system with multiple political parties.Check. A nation which allows women unfettered rights,including leadership. Check. A nation that tolerates gays and lesbians. Check. A nation that freely allows contrarian,feminist,and socialist thought. Check. A nation that allows all religions or none. Check. A nation that did not send its young men to drive aircraft into the side of the WTC and Pentagon[debated by a pack of leftwinged idiots blaming,of course,''The Jews'']. Check. A nation that does not have the world tied into an OPEC pricefixing stranglehold. Check.
Up against this?

Stoning and hanging of women [and girls] and gays
Perpetual loss of human rights at the most basic levels.
Our Religion And No Others[immediately before you are imprisoned or put to death for proletyzing,whether you did so or not].
Terrorism as national policy
Racial and religious hatred
Mein Kamph As Perinnial Bestseller
Oil As Blackmail
Nukes As Blackmail
Theocratic Rule

Those who rail at ''Zionists''would do well to observe that the alternative is more medieval and primative than anything found in Neros Rome or Attilas Gaul,and infinately more dangerous to the fortunes of the world. Lieberman has every business huckstering Israel as Ellison does in huckstering Islam.[Or Clinton huckstering Dubai].

On economic issues,there is no difference between neocon McCain and neo-liberal Lieberman. Both are pro big business, pro war and pro Israel. So it comes as no surprise that Lieberman is supporting McCain in the primary. A contest between neo con McCain and neo liberal Clinton in the general election would give us a choice between 2 candidates willing to sacrifice American blood to further the interest of corporate America. It's time for the Democratic Party to stop letting the DLC and the lead them.
