Joe Leiberman on Hannity and Colmes (1 Viewer)

Actually no. Learn your Connecticut politics. All of the major party leaders were supporting Joe, but all the activists (who have more of a voice) were backing Lamont because he was actually listening to them, unlike Joe who just expected to win. It was over one issue, I habor no doubts there, but it appears to be most important issue of all for the people who were voting in November, the war in Iraq. If we had "kicked him to the curb," it would have been democracy in action, no matter how respected he is.

He is allowed a different opinion, but if the people of Connecticut didn't want that opinion, they were well within their right to vote him out.

I believe there should be a sense of loyalty that goes both ways.......Just 6 short years ago Leiberman was the nominee for the VP in your party...The day before the democratic primary alll the dems including Chris Dodd were shown standing behind Leiberman, the next day the very same Dems were standing behind Lamont who has a completely different outlook on the war on Terror..........The dems knew Leiberman's position on the war and the supported him in his reelection prior to the primary........How can they do a 180 one day letter and back a cut and runner like Lamont.........

I know Leiberman will not forget that whether you believe it or not......

This Congress is not even officialy in power yet and are already fighting with each other a point.Pelosi's "we wnat to work with the president" crap isan't going to last, that's just not how a Congress majority controlled by the opposite party works.Please.It's America.With fools like C. Rangel back haha lets have the draft and some of them that want to actually attempt to impeach the president, please.2 things before your party is even in power that WON'T happen.

Pelosi already backed the fact that the draft is not on their options of "new Iraq strategy".But pulling troops out slowly is a smart idea, really.I can't take some of you Dems seriously when you state firmly "The Presidents choice to go to war was in the wrong place, against countries who arent a threat to us".You're joking, right? You do watch the news...correct?

Yes, 6 years ago he was our VP candidate and he also was willing to betray the party, even then. How you ask? He ran for Senate and VP which would have given control of the Senate to the Republicans.

All this being said, I would have supported the man had he won the primary, but he didn't. Lamont did and as a Democrat, a true Democrat, I support the winners of the primaries because that is the peoples' will.

It is sad that you would kick a man to the curb who votes with your party 90% of the time becasue he is a man of character and ethics and stands by his decision to be strong against the war on terror instead of waffling on decisions they made like Kerry and Edwards....
