You won't believe the stuff Joe says in this press event:

"No one wants more war."

"None of us wants more war. Certainly not me."

"We all want to end the war in Iraq."

"I want to bring our troops home."

"All of us want the war In Iraq to end. No one wants the war in Iraq to end more than I do."

1. That's rich.........

Holy Joe has voted for everything Bush has wanted for his war. I can't believe the people of Connecticut are going to re-elect this asshole. It boggles my mind. :silly:

[AlamoDemoc]

2. I hope CT voters would view this clip

...and realize that Joe is not the right Senator for them....as you recall he campaigned in past not to seek a third term in office.....K&R

[AlamoDemoc]

3. JOE you have have been a glue....A need to get rid off your is now at hand

[ninkasi]

4. Talk about shameless

Joe really has that category nailed. I lost all respect for him when he insisted on running after losing the primary, and then sucked up even more to Republicans. His ego is more important to him than saving our country from becoming a dictatorship under the man he gazes at with such adoration in one of the photos I've seen of him. He is just shameless, and self serving.

5. How people in CT don't see through that pusbag astounds me.

I hope CT voters prove me wrong.

6. He may have abandoned the Democratic Party.

But he still defends himself like one.

:hide:

[krkaufman]

7. Well, you can't say he's not bi-partisan. Democratic platform to get re-elected...

... and revert to Republican/neo-con voting once he's back to his Senate office.

[brer cat]

8. He looks like sh#* in this video....really stressed.

Is that how he appears in person?

He needs to be GONE. period. amen.

[lyonn]

9. How much money has the repubs dumped into his coffer?

He knew he'd get plenty of repub. votes since the repub running is a loser. Also, they say there are lots of Independents in that State. Does that mean Conn. Independents are really repubs or could it be that Joe has done an excellent job with his ear-markings? Or.... do they really like the war effort he has touted up until, what, a week ago?

16. It's all repubs who will vote for him

If there was a decedent Repub candidate running, Lamont would get in easily.
But I don't understand how Independents could vote for LIEberman.

[In Truth We Trust]

10. He sold out the Democratic party and his constituency. He is a liar and a repub shill. Schmoementum

Gotta go.

Vote For Lamont!

[Seattleman]

18. That's why he is know as LIE-berman.

I really wish that his political career would go down the swirlie into the cesspool of history.

[BlueJac]

11. Vote the liar out!

[FatDave]

12. 3 years late...

...and $300-billion short. And nearly 3000 dead. Fuck you, Mr. Lieberman.

[Pryderi]

13. Does Joe work at Gringott's Bank?

[othermeans]

14. I'm sorry this piece of poop is going to win the Senatorial race

his line about being a middle of the ground candidate is one of the biggest lies being posited by a Bush apologist. Ned Lamont is a true American not an apologist for Israel or for the Bush administration.

[Bucky]

15. You know, if Cut and Run Joe had been this savvy in 2000, we wouldn't even have this war.

Instead he kissed Cheney's ass thru their whole debate and then caved the second Jeb's government stole the Florida vote. He's running a smart campaign--a feint to the center like this is a solid move now that he's got the right wing of the state nailed down. But I'm just wondering where his brains were six years ago when the whole country was counting on him.

[MAX 1]

17. THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE...

The FACT that Joe states that he supports a well planned withdraw is somehow a way of supporting no more war is hypocritical. He's willing to engage in as much war as necessary so as to create opportunities to plan a withdraw, and somehow, in Joe's nimble mind, that equates a NO WAR stance.

THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE...

Does Joe call for immediate withdraw?
Does Joe insist to "Bring the troops home NOW"?

THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE...

Instead, what Joe is doing is positioning himself as a Loyalist to the BushCo. We know it, don't we?

Come on Joe. Why don't you call the Bush Administration out on their WAR CRIMES? Their illegitimate AUMF of 2002 that you voted for? Call the Bush Administration on their LIES about Iraq and Afghanistan, would you? Ask the Bush Administration, "Where is Osama?"

WOULD YOU?

THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE...

19. Frankly, Peacenik Joe sounds like most pols today,

Yes, he's terribly against the war. But without the least intention of ending it soon.

What an embarrassment to the party; what a snake.
