Lieberman is good on civil rights, but he's too sanctimonious and his stand on the Iraq War is wrongheaded. I don't think it will be bad if he gets re-elected, but I'd prefer Lamont. I've always thought McCain was an unbalanced nut. I said a long time ago I'd rather have Bush than McCain as President. If McCain gets elected, I think there's a good chance that the world will become even less stable. Plus, now, the way he is sucking up to the far right and Bush makes me think that he's just another spineless politician.
Lieberman isn't bad..but this "I will run at all costs"..screw the primaries..is just poor!! Why have a primary at all?? Something is amiss when a candidate won't support the party's choice and runs..myabe he will become a Republican?? I think he is leaning that way and the fact that he will NOT support Lamont if he wins is very suspicious.

Just curious but do you know who is backing, in a huge way, the Lamont run? Weicker, former governor and Senator who was defeated by no lesser than Lieberman for his seat in the Senate. Simply put, that arrogant a-hole bakcing Lamont makes Lieberman the right choice.
Not to mention Lamont is a one trick pony with his constant rant about Iraq. There is more to being a Senator than the War in Iraq and being anti-Bush. Bush is only President for 2 or the 6 yrs he will be Senator, what is he going to do for the remaining 4yrs?
even if Lamont does win the primary he'll lose the overall election because Lamont will pull no more votes than he does in the primary whereas Lieberman running as an independent will pull Independent and Republican votes (one of which will be mine).
for the record Lieberman along with McCAin are my ideals of what this country needs as Senators, Reps and in the WH. Elected officials willing to work for the best interests of the everyone not just one party.
Please stop....incumbent pols working in the best interest of everyone!!!! Oh my god!!
LOL LOL

From what I heard, Lieberman didn't even shake his hand afterwards..Frankly, Joe's demeaner was anything but good..rude, not wanting to be there..very poor...but beyond that, Joe always wishes to have it both ways.
1---He's running as a Democrat..but he won't back the Democratic winner..(unless that is him) and he is going to run if he loses..WSOunds more like he wants it both ways.
2---Almost the same as when he ran for VP with Gore...(Frankly, I wish he had been as fiesty against Cheney as he was against Lamont..) He ramn for VP as well as Senator...and if he had become VP..the Republican Gov wold have picked a Repib..and a Senate seat lost. Again, Joe wanted it both ways.
3--When he talked about the Supreme Court decision, he praised it and said how great it was, although he helped Alioto become a SC justice..by being part of the gang of 14..So even thought he voted agasint him. he basically cut off the Democrats from doing anything to stop him. Again, saying one thing..doing another.. TYPICAL deperate politician who thinks of himself.
The last thing was what I heard today from one of his top advisors..John Droney...who said it was reprehensible that Jews are not backing Lieberman more. Again, desperate and poor. I think his time is up...people are finally understanding him.

Do you live in CT, I do, and know for a fact that Lieberman works in the best interests of all his constituents regardless of their party affiliation. Contrary to your biased view there are good pols out there, on both sides, who don't kowtow to the party line. To bad there are two few of them.
So keep laughing because you are laughing from a point of ingnorance.

that is because unlike the democratic party he understands the point of Senate confimation and each nominee getting a full vote. That is what elections are about. One of the spoils of winning an election is the right to appoint the judiciary. Alito was more than qualified to hold the position he does the problem was that the left didn't like his political bent, well guess what to f'in bad they lost the election. I don't like the political bent of the pro-choice Justices but that doesn't mean when a Dem is in the WH he/she can't appoint one and the Repubs shouldn't filibuster the appointment. Fact remains political leanings are not supposed to play into this only their persons qualifications to hold such a high office for life.
Lieberman understands this and so does the gang of 14 which is why they had to do what they did in order to thwart the left's fillibuster and the right's threat to use the nuclear option.

Lierberman wants it many ways...in the debate he praised the decision, but if he's as gutless with the next nomination as he was with Alito, his praising of a great decision like that MIGHT not happen... Basically by being part of the 14, they INSURED Alito's niominaton..as well as his vote to stop debate on it. If you like the war and like all of what Bush has done..Vote Joe..he'll give you the same. I love it how he not only opposes but is so critical of Dems who oppose the war..refuses to ever stand up for them when he's on all the right wing talk shows. If came out the same way aginstCheney as he did Lamont, he may have been VP...but that just shows what he's about.
(2006-07-06) — In another sign of lukewarm support from his own party for Sen. Joseph Lieberman’s reelection campaign, Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy today branded the Connecticut incumbent as “a J.F.K. conservative, a relic of another era.”
“I’m not sure we need someone in the Senate who’s still mired in the provincial, hawkish John F. Kennedy ideas about U.S. military power,” said Sen. Kennedy. “But if he wins the primary, I’ll show my party loyalty by refraining from campaigning against him openly.”
Meanwhile, Democrat National Committee Chairperson Howard Dean said the national party, in cooperation with MoveOn.org, would fund a last-minute advertising blitz on local TV stations in which Sen. Lieberman’s face morphs into that of President Kennedy.
“Let every candidate know,” Mr. Dean said, “whether he wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of the war on the war on terror.”

There are more issues than the war that are important to his constituents in CT. You libs really need to move on from that one you are beating a dead horse.
