Thank you Connecticut voters! How long before he switches sides and starts caucusing with the GOP?

While it's not surprising that Lieberman would support candidates most likely to expand war in the Middle East it's not what the Citizens of Conneticut elected him to do.

What's good for Israel isn't always the same thing as what's good for the United States of America. Lieberman needs to realize this and serve the country whose citizens actually elected him. If he doesn't, then perhaps those citizens can have a recall election.

Al Gore's biggest mistake ever was picking horse's behind as his running mate.

He walked among us dressed like a Democrat. He spoke the language of moderation fluently enough in Connecticut to con the voters into re-electing him. Now that he is safely re-ensconced in his Senate seat, with even more power as the "which way will he go" vote...Lieberman finally feels comfortable enough to shed his minimal pretenses and go all the way in revealing his true nature, and his true allegiances. Yes, we already knew, but he hadn't actually walked over to the other side of the aisle when Bush yelled "Red Rover, Red Rover, send my buddy Joe on over!"

He is a dangerous fraud. A man who got into a position to do his part in facilitating and furthering the destructive agenda of the scariest factions of Republican party by conning America wholesale in 2000, and Connecticut in particular in 2006. People in Washington and Connecticut)who still retain their consciences should ostricize him for the cowardly weasel he is...because, unfortunately, this is America, and it is George's government...not mine, so trial for treason and subsequent archane punishment is out of the question. Damn.

love this guy.

I watched his appearance on Face the Nation, and actually shouted back at the television screen at several things Joe said. His war-mongering apparently knows no end. Am I wrong -- wasn't it Sec. of Defense Gates himself who debunked the idea we had ANY proof that Iran was training men or sending materiel across their borders into Iraq? Didn't Gates actually say this in public within the last 6 weeks or so? Why didn't Bob Schieffer challenge him on this point?

What is WRONG with our mainstream media? It's just as bad as seeing Wolf Blitzer fail to challenge former Gov. Romney on his lie about IAEA inspectors "not being allowed in Iraq" during the prelude to war.

Someone raised the question in an earlier post -- does Connecticut law allow for recall elections of a U.S. senator? That's something *I* would like to have answered definitively!

I guess that means he's going to get his son, Dean Liebermann, to line up and sign up for boots, BDUs and a tour in Iraq.

Uh, he is, isn't he? What? No?

Their chief spokesperson, Joe Lieberman, cannot contain his eagerness for a new war where American boys will continue to die for Israel. This new war on Iran would likely make terrorism truly the defining issue of our time - as Lieberman and his buddies would like it to be - because it would unleash the destructive forces of chaos and radicalism even more than the Iraq war has done!

If the trends continue, this is Lieberman's last hurrah tour. The Senate will be much more blue in '08 (though it's doubtful Dems will get the veto-proof majority they'd love to have), and it's likely (though not certain) that the White House will be blue.

Lieberman's waffling and wavering becomes irrelevant at that point, and it is no longer incumbent on the Dems to give this turncoat any committee assignments. Lieberman will return to Connecticut in 2012 as a man who has greatly reduced the state's influence in national politics.

Let him bray and whine now. In 18 months, CFL Joe will be a very short footnote to a terrible era in American politics.

Read the first three letters of his last name. Nuf' said...

Seriously, didn't us crazy dysfunctional liberals tell you about this guy when we insisted on Lamont?

Anyone who says they were duped by this guy didn't do their homework. Now we have to deal with this for another five years.

The Dems really need to widen their margin in the Senate to render "G.I." Joe Lieberman a footnote. His DINO cred has made him a natural ally of the GOP against his former party, which is why DINOs are so destructive to the Democrats. Connecticut voters went with porky prominence in going with Shoeless Joe Lieberman, figuring a well-connected Senator was a better fit for them than a freshman Senator, but their electoral cupidity can be offset if the Democrats gain enough seats to nullify Lieberman.

And how does war with Iran help Israel, exactly? Is this the "War is Peace" line of argument the GOP's been throwing out for years? That the more war you make in the Middle East, the more peaceful it gets? I guess if you kill ~880 million Muslims, the ~3 million Israelis can be safe at last; I guess that's the moral reasoning. Why else would constant war in the region be seen as the path to peace? Or is this all some lead-in to Armageddon for the fundamentalists -- not the firmest foundation for foreign policy.

Anyway, I hope Lieberman is voted out sometime before the Apocalypse.

Certainly, the war on terror is a reality that the Arabs and Israelis live with every day, but is that a reality we should fervently wish for America? Let's hope not.

Just where would Senator Lieberman get the troops to send to Iran? The US military has been scraping the bottom of the talent pool and still does not have enough troops to do the job right in Iraq. And what about Afghanistan, where the War on Terror got started? According to recent news reports, the Taliban is again in control of much of that country.

In the early 1970's, Republican President Nixon, with prodding from free markets advocate Professor Milton Friedman, persuaded Congress to abolish the draft and to replace it with an all-volunteer army. No longer would poor black and brown young men be compelled to fight in wars in which the sons of rich white folks could opt out through one loophole or another. With Senator Lieberman, the former Democrat and supposed centrist, beating the drums for war with Iran, the draft may come back sooner than many people think.
