Lieberman Statement Answers Nothing

Poor Joe. What to do, what to do. I will never be able to look at Lieberman again without thinking of Jon Stewart doing his 'droopy dog' imitation of him--it fits so well--and laughing.

Lieberman is a coward, a liar and a gross opportunist. The Democrats should put as much distance as they can between themselves and Lieberman. He should just go ahead and join the GOP. Shame on him.

And the Lord said "Let there be Unity”, and it came to pass. And the Lord said to Barack, "Thou art the chosen leader, thou wilt select a Unifier", and it too, came to pass. And Barack said to Emanuel, "Raum, thou shalt be my Unifier" and Unity swept over the land. The people of America, 300,000,000 strong, men plus women and children and a mixed multitude, with their flocks and herds, set out for the Mountain of Civility

Exodus Chapter 1, Verse 1


And Raum the Unifier set out on a journey to calm the multitudes. And he came upon a city by the river Potomac, and it was known as Washington. And the Unifier said “Let there be Unity”, but it was not to be. And one of the tribe of Washington murmured “Unifier, there is controversy in this land.” And the Unifier proclaimed “F@@k the Republicans, there will be Unity”, and members of the tribe set out to do the work of the Chosen One.

Exodus Chapter 1, Verse 2


And it came to pass that Unity eluded the multitudes. Tribes in the villages of Frank, and ted, and Betty Ann, and DD, and Sue and especially Rias10 could not turn loose of the hatred. And the Lord said, “Barack, Unity is not among us”. And Barack answered “Lord, my father is from the land of Kenya”, “They have not known Unity” And the Lord asked “Where is your Unifier?” And Barack answered “He is on a journey through all regions of the land”“His travels will take him to the Mountain of Civility” and the Lord proclaimed “Let Unity prevail”, but Barack did nothing to rein-in the Unifier. And so it was to be.

Exodus Chapter 1, Verse 3


And Raum of Emanuel traveled far and wide. After a two day journey, he visited the street of Wall, where merchants and money changers were in abundance. He climbed to the highest rooftop to herald the coming of the Chosen One. The money changers murmured “Why hath thou come?” “Thou hath removed great value from the land” “Look, I owned oxen and goats valued at ten Drachma, and now they will bring but nine!” The Unifier protested “I did not cause thy grief, nor did the Chosen One” “It is the fault of those who came before us” But the merchants were uneasy, and they fled to a distant land. And Raum took to his ass, and departed.

Exodus Chapter 1, Verse 4

Lieberman is a coward, a liar and a gross opportunist.

Could not have said it any better!!

You democrats can't see anything but black and white!! Joe Leiberman is a FINE, OUTSTANDING AMERICAN, no matter WHAT AFFILIATION. TOO BAD there aren't more on the democratic side LIKE HIM. He does REACH ACROSS THE ISLE, and most of these politicians, public alike won't EVER have the respect. I would've loved to see him on a ticket with ANYONE....it's also a shame that Colin Powell/Condi Rice wasn't on the democratic ticket. Instead we have an empty suit whos' undoubtably just a mere PUPPET for this very controlling new "congress" and OTHERS,.....get over yourself! Democrats need some humor in their lives, for God sake!!

So much for the coming together Dems promised among all the other promises they will break. Joe Lieberman is an Independent who the Democrats have used for votes many times in the past. Now they want to punish him for being honest about who he thinks will do the best job as president. It's all about party with the Dems, never about country. John McCain worked with the Democrats many times to get things done for America. He would have done it again as president. Obama is already proving that he won't work with both parties. His new cheif of staff voted with his party 99% of the time and famously said "F--- the Republicans!" So much for unity, Obama. The real Obama is starting to show already.

GOVERNMENT BENEFITS

Unless retirement benefits are denied by fellow members of Congress, former Senators and Representatives receive full pensions, even convicted felons, when they leave Congress. And to think, Barack pledged for common American citizens to have benefits "....just like we have in Congress."

I can just see prisoners with life sentences in penitentiaries across the land rejoicing.


When the government decided to go after the CEO’s of companies involved in the recent round of bailouts, they (we) also assumed the liability for legal fees to defend the same CEO’s. We, the taxpayers, are in the unenviable position of paying lawyers to prosecute and defend these individuals!

You gotta love the bureaucratic approach to problem solving!

Here we go already! Reid and Pelosi showing their true colors. They will never reach across the aisle in bi=partisanship! Now they are trying to strong arm Lieberman (a man who stands by his true beliefs and principles) into an all or nothing scenario! So much for democracy! So it looks like nothing has changed as far as the congress is concerned. Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, Dodd, and Frank are the most negative, mean-spirited people in Politics. They are all about power and their own egos and they are proving it by harassing Lieberman. Stand tall Joe! Americans you were very foolish to give the majority to both houses to the democrats. They are going to tax us like you have never seen before and weaken our defense as never before.

Joe Lieberman is a weasel & always has been. He is an opportunist but he backed the wrong horse this time. McCain couldn't turn around without breaking Joe's nose! I hope he will be sent into the land of "Forgotten" and never be seen again!

Oh please spare me the bipartisanship card. Joe Lieberman dug his own grave many times over. He defected to the Independents only because he couldn't win as a Democrat. He only supported McCain because he thought it would help him politically. He abandoned his party to win, not because he is all of a sudden an Independent. He is a coward and a traitor and he deserves everything he gets. Go join the sinking ship that is the GOP Joe. You've earned it.

JOE L. Why put up with crap from Pelosi and Reid. Join the Republicans.

If you think my comments are "too conservative" go check out my other writings at LAprogressive.com.

I'm not happy with Lieberman's conduct. But I think we need to consider his long voting history on issues OTHER than war profiteering and blind support of Israel. Those are the issues that pushed him to McCain.

He has a history of reasonable stances on important other (domestic) issues. He's going to stay in the Senate. So I hope that Democrats find ways to work with him.

I think that he should sacrifice important committee positions because he worked against the party that gave him those positions, during the election campaigns.

But now that the campaign is over, let's impose a penalty (like the committee assignments) and move on. Let's give him the chance to again work on the correct side of the aisle on domestic issues which desparately need our attention.

Here we go. Obama has been the president elect for five minutes and already the stock market has tanked about ten percent and will continue to do so as those of us who employ others ruminate over the tax increases coming our way and lay people off. Thank GOD I cashed out the end of September! Obama has vowed to bankrupt the coal industries in several of the states, refuses to drill and the next thing will be to go after our 401Ks. Obama's internet army is standing by waiting for instructions and will most likely be his domestic army, google "brown shirts" and you will see the future. And the leaders in congress are bad mouthing Lieberman? Unbelievable.

What is that sign Lieberman is holding up? He was defeated in the Democratic primary and won only by forming his own party (now disbanded) in which he was the sole member. He hasn't been a Dem for years, and I hesitated before voting for Gore because of him. He as much as said many times that were the Democratic positions on foreign affairs to pass, that American would be in grave peril. On Monday he said that 60 Senate seats for the Dems would endanger the United States. It's hard to think of anyone who loves the camera as much as Joe and he'll miss it, but we won't miss him. Reid should have had the moxie to remove him years ago.

Lieberman is a two faced self serving back stabbing coward senator from Connecticut.I hope he get's kicked out of the Democrats caucus and go with his new found friends.Good luck snake lieberman.

Oh Nancy and anny...just how old are you two and what states do you live in?
Reid is an egotistical backstabbing sneak. He takes care of his friends and his family by whatever means possible to the taxpayers. He and Pelosi are like two peas in a pod. They are democrats with a personal power hungry agenda and nothing or no one is going to stop them. If this is what you two want in our government, then you must be the same way. How sad...SUCKS TO BE YOU TWO! You idiots wanted change...well, remember that old saying....be careful what you ask for...you might just get it...and you have. Bipartisianship my ass! Anyone that dared to question Obama has been smeared, investigated and intimidated. Joe is the better man and he will come out ahead regardless of what Reid tries to do to him. Reid is a waste of good air and so is Pelosi, Schumer, Dodd and Frank. They are the real cause of the economy crash...yet as all the democrats that voted for Obama have done...they all blame the Republicans. They refuse to stand up and admit their part in this whole mess.

He is a disgrace to the state he represent.what are you going to do now droopy face?there's no positionf for you anymore in this great party of ours"Democrats'.

So much for unity and conciliation. He in good faith supported a long-time more expereienced colleague and now his party wants blood. How can they lambast the Republicans and then resort to the same tactics ???

Mike, are you kidding me?

This has been a long time coming. His fence straddling has been too cute by half, and his active campaigning for the nominee of the opposing party was beyond the pal.

You can't have it both ways -- you're either in the Democratic Party or you're not. He's not.

Hopefully the Republicans will take him. Otherwise, he'll be out in the cold altogether. Not very good for his constituents......
