1. Someone shut this idiot up...please...
I gave him looooong amounts of slack, but he's not worth the overhead it costs of keeping him around.

I'd almost give him up in the Senate right NOW, just to let the Republicans roger him but good, before we retake it in November, and run his ass out to the nearest Miami buffet line, never to be heard from again.

4. What a load of crap. And to end it saying that Al Queda has its tail
between its legs as it exits Iraq to go to Afganistan. What an evil twist of logic being perpetrated on the citizens. They redeploy and Republicans call it a victory.

Their abuse of logic and reality is as bad as the theft, lies, abuse, killing, torturing, and the creation of thousands and thousands of exiles.

Call them on it. Tell them we want stratight talk that doesn't insult us and cry out that we're stupid. Try to educate their lemmings who might believe this stuff.

15. Unfortunately not in Connecticut. I would bet that there would be a
movement to get him out if it were possible to do so.

9. Define "winning" asshole....what do we "win" Oil contracts for corporations "win" what?
Edited on Sun Jul-20-08 09:10 PM by GreenTea
We are fucking occupying a country who wants us the fuck out...BushCo & the republicans and assholes like Lieberman want the oil in Iraq AND Iran - while Iraq also provides strategic bases to steal that oil and we just won't fucking leave ("The Thing That Wouldn't Leave")....so what the fuck is Lieberman talking about, "winning" what?

We are not at war and never have been, we illegally invaded Iraq, destroy their little army, killed innocent men, woman & children, destroyed their infrastructure as well as their cities and towns....just so we can occupy....for oil...people are still being killed, soldiers dying corporations profiting all for oil with our tax dollars...

So companies like Halliburton (that Cheney has over 440 thousand shares in), can get no bid contracts, suck in tens of billions of dollars and never finish the contracted projects, yet, still get paid in full, (Cheney's stocks go up by a hundred million) again, all with our tax dollars, certainly not the rich, BushCo cut their taxes.

10. oh why did I listen to that?
I feel sick and can not overcome the urge to vomit. His whiny voice, his blubbery facial skin, his pasty white complexion, his bozo poof hairdo, his evil darting eyes and did I mention his w h i n e y voice? Why is this man still caucusing with the democrats? But then, maybe he SHOULD talk for John McSame... I would NOT want him campaigning for Obama! The man is a total turn off!

11. When we get the majority,
I want this guys ass out. First-don't give him any committees to head up then the Dem party should support an alternate candidate-forcing him to declare himself what he is....a puke.

12. talk about TIME FILLER - that was pointless... even his meandering attack
sounded stupid!

there was no meat to his argument - babbling on about 'if barack obama had his way he wouldn't even be in Iraq because it wouldn't be safe'.....


WHAT A MORON LIE-BERMAN IS! No, if President-Elect Obama (start saying it Joe, you know it's true, and you're terrified) had his way we wouldn't even BE anywhere NEAR Iraq, you weak toad!

13. "If Barack Obama's policy on Iraq had been implemented"
there would never have been an invasion and ordinary American tourists could visit Iraq.

Lieberman is vomit itself. Vomitman. Yeah. That's a good name.

14. yup
and no 'terrorist' there either.

the only thing this war got us, was distracted and in debt... not to mention the countless deaths and murders that could have been avoided.

17. My exact thought
If they did what Obama wanted there would be no war in Iraq. And to think LIEberman was on Gore's ticket and I actually voted for that nincompoop.

25. That was Gore's fatal error in that election. I think he lost a lot of votes because of Lieberman.

My stomach is prone to ulcers. And if there is such a thing as a whining devil, it is LIEberman.

24. What an idiot...
this guy still thinks the American people care about the win/lose thing....NO, in my opinion, the main issue is the TRUTH...that we were LIED into this war. Republicans had better prepare for November. It's going to be painful.

There's no "Democrat" I'd miss less than Lieberman. Connecticut could do so much better.

27. Won't watch this, just want to put in my 2 cents worth
Lieberman makes me ill so I can't watch this video, nor can I stand to watch much of Bush either. Needless to say people like Lieberman are far worse than some in your face republican. Connecticut, you really screwed up, you know better. Lieberman needs to be totally isolated and cut off by the democratic party.

28. It's good to know
that Americans are winning the war in Iraq. It would explain why McCain can walk around safely with minimal escorts.

Never mind the fact that Iraq's government has been asking for a timeline repeatedly. It's not their country anyway; the country belongs to the liberators. As a territory, how many delegates do you think it would be worth in primary season? I would guess that the delegate count will be in constant decline.

31. I noticed that he didn't say anything
about the part of the surge that has us paying $300/month to 70,000+ iraqis(the awakening councils). No one seems to be talking about that part of the surge in the media.

I honestly believe the only reason US troops are still there is to protect the oil companies and to provide work for hallib*rton/kbr/blackwater.
