Lieberman leads new pro-McCain group

eGads.... Go away... Please just go away

Lieberman is all about strong support for Israel and Mid Eastern interventionism, not about America's best interests. He's got about 4,000 dead American soldiers on his conscience, like the rest of the neo cons.

"But first and foremost, I am an American," writes Lieberman. Not True :=( Lie-berman always puts the interests of Israel before our own Americamn interests. He is a warmonger neo-con and will spill american blood amd spend our treasure to benefit Israel.

Why doesn’t this jerk just change his affiliation to republican?

Joe Lieberman is the Benedict Arnold of the Democratic party!!!

Wonder what Lieberman wants McCain to do for Isreal with USA tax dollars?????

Traitor Joe is always on the wrong side of most issues, why would we expect anything less from him? He was an embarrassmenet as a Democrat - glad he finally will be identified with the hypocrits that he is so fond of...

First get McCain to submit to and openly communicate the results of neurological testing and tests for "incipient Alzheimers" and for short term memory loss if you expect anyone but fundementalists to support McCain.

The medical report was a whitewash that ignored the real questions of our day.
Is McCain going to be the next Ron Reagan, and show up with Alzheimers in office?

Not taking the tests which would clear him is not conducive to putting the public at ease about this real issue.

Why would this "endorsement" be even marginally surprising to anyone? Lieberman has been a Republican for years. I just hope that for McBush's sake, old Joe travels with him. At least that way Johnnie can keep his Iraqi factions straight.

Wow, will someone just give this guy an elephant logo t-shirt alright already.

Woo-hoo! McClain-Lieberman in 2008!!
Or . . . wouldn't this be a twist in the tail: McCain-Clinton in 2008!!

The McCain campaign is a train without a locomotive running on a track to nowhere. Obama will shred poor poor pitiful John in any kind of debate.

Why would this "endorsement" be even marginally surprising to anyone? Lieberman has been a Republican for years. I just hope that for McBush's sake, old Joe travels with him. At least that way Johnnie can keep his Iraqi factions straight.

No surprise here, but it's still disappointing.

I agree with him and I am a Democrat

For shame, Senator Lieberman! In Barack Obama, the Democratic Party has a leader for peace and justice who will rebuild our nation's honor after the dreadful foreign policies of our current president. All Democrats of good conscience will support him. Instead you back an advocate of deceitful present policies that have cost thousands of American and Iraqi lives, hundreds of billions of dollars, and proved disastrous to national security.
And then there are domestic policies, where Senator McCain has himself confessed ignorance of and disinterest in economics at a time when the national economy is sinking rapidly.
Shame!

hey CT...please do not vote for this guy again next election. there is a reason why he is a FORMER democrat. he is following mccain's neverending war path to disaster.

I think Karl Rove said it best when he said what jimmy carter thinks is not longer relevant. I have the same feelings about Joe Lieberman. If he flips one more time he can join Cirque de Soleil.

Sounds good to me. Hopefully, more groups like this will spring up and maybe, just maybe, the Republican Party will become the real "big tent" in the political arena. Those of us who aren't students, or people who earn more than $50,000, or put their kids through college even if they didn't have a college degree of their own, or senior citizens or people over 60 ... we all might just find a new home.

Joe Lieberman is a political weasel. There are very fundamental differences between the two parties and anyone who can so easily switch between them has little or no strength of character, little or no understaanding of what each party stands for, has no moral compass guiding him or is just selling out. I suspect the latter.

I have never been prouder to have worked for Ned Lamont.

Senator Lieberman is a gentlema and a wise statesman. He is a true asset to America,

I dont know much about Lieberman other than he is the only DEM to support McCain.......

It seems that more Republicans support Obama......Whats that tell you

Obama is the product of change, who appeals to ALL parties, and will get much more done.........

LIEberman is such a slime...

Thank you Joe! We love and need more americans like you.

Joe Lieberman will no doubt earn a footnote or two in future accounts of American political history. But they will nothing if not about how he shamelessly betrayed the Democratic party in pursuit of his own political advantage. And now without an ounce of sincerity he and another pure opportunist John McCain are singing the praises of Hillary Clinton in order to further divide Democrats on the road to the White House. One can only imagine how they would be saying good things about Obama, not Clinton, if he had not won the nomination.

I and numerous others are delighted to hear the good judgment of Lieberman. This may offer a very useful bridge for the millions of disaffected (one-time) Democrats, especially women, who are disgusted at how the Democrats violated their own principles in fraudulently ensuring Obama would win the primary---even to the extent of stealing delegates from Hillary! As they will soon see, they CANNOT win without our support---and it is now gone!

Actually Mr. Lieberman is an Israeli first, and an American second. He will sacrifice the security of America for the security Israel any and every day of the week.

Old Joe's just sore 'cause most of the Democrats in Connecticut voted for Ned Lamont over him in the primary and the general - he only won the general for Senate in 2006 because the Republican candidate conceded right after Joe petitioned onto the independent ballot.

Good move by Lieberman. I am a strong Hillary Clinton supporter who watched day after day how shoddily the Democratic Party leaders treated her. All they could do was stroke Obama at every turn even though Hilllary had the popular vote. Okay, fine, I will go with McCain. And let Obama and his black militant buddies of twenty years like Rev. Wright release another video and his crook friends like Tony Rezko come back and haunt him. I'll take McCain's experience over Obama's arrogance and inexperience. I've had enough sexism and misogyny by the Democrat party leaders.

When will congress put the American peoples interest before Israel? Israel has abused our good nature too long. It is time Israel holds itself to the same standards of human rights the rest ofr the world expects from each other. Lieberman is not for peace he is a man for war and tit for tat until the world is dead from war.

For all those that want government to solve all their problems, Obama, Lieberman, Clinton, McCain are all the same. I have not been able to find a single government solution that actually worked as expected, 10x the cost and half the benefits.

What ever happened to taking responsibility for our own lives?

Why do you libs keep calling it the Democratic Party? It is the Democrat Party. Don't confuse it!

It is refreshing to see someone "walk the talk" when they talk about "crossing the aisles." We will need alot more of this to reform Washington.

Everybody knows Yusef L is simply a shill for Israel. Don't beleive me? Check his record against other Jewish senators during his term in office from either party. They can differentiate the differences between serving the US's interests from Israel's when they diverge. He can't.

Considering how the democrats turned on Lieberman I don't think that he owes them anything. Lieberman was the one person who actually listened to what people were saying and was not blindly spouting the stock lines that all of the other democrats do. And what did he get for actually thinking for himself? They turned on him like sharks in a blood frenzy. I don't think much of the republicans, but I think less of the democrats.

It seems as if those who posted against Lieberman on this board are either
neo-nazi, or poorly informed so called bleeding heart liberal demos. The other
shoe is that they are racist !!

You guys are ridiculous, and just as bad as Lieberman. It's always the "Neocons" or the "Liberals".

Both parties are a joke. Clinton, McCain, Obama... do you honestly see a difference between these candidates???

Answer to Bruce - we can only hope he is the next Ronald Reagan. The greatest President of our time!

So much for the Senator from Israel. He and McCain admire so much her "compassionate" speech on behalf of the "dreams and concerns of millions of Americans", like, I suppose, health care, a tax law fair to the average ciitzen, and end to endless war, an opportunities the least advantaged." Does Lieberman think McCain and the republicans are going to do anything about this. And how does Lieberman even pretend that his major role in advancing the Republican party and working to defeat the Dems is anything his constituents believed in thier wildest imaginations he would be doing when they voted for him. What a hypocrite.

Lieberman was the reason why Gore lost in 2000. He's an agent of chaos for the other side.
You can't be president unless AIPAC supports you, so both Obama and McCain had to make an appearance there, but Joe is "insurance" just in case.

McCain-Clinton. I like that platform a lot. It would be unbeatable.

I always love political commentary by the general public. We wonder why the people we elect cannot cross the aisle and work together. The answer is because they come from the rest of us who couldn't cross the aisle either. I am not a Lieberman fan but he can endorse whoever the hell he wants, Benedict Arnold or a traitor is a little harsh isn't it. Maybe Joe should just fall in line and endorse his Independent candidate...oh you know...what's the guy's name?

Leiberman is flipping around like a dead fish. Which way will he flip next?

Wow, all the Democrat shills really come out for every talkback these days. Most of you have no sense of history and know only what you read on MoveOn.org or DailyKos left wing opinion websites. Almost all of you spew the kind of vitriol that drives reasonable people away. Instead of discussing the significance of Lieberman's support or how it might affect the election, you brainlessly call him names and throw in a few anti-Bush sound bites as a bonus.

This makes me only more determined to vote for anyone other than who these kinds of people support. And as for Israel, it's one of the few true friends the U.S. has in the world, policy disagreements notwithstanding. Israel's enemies would destroy the U.S. if they could. It makes me sick to see so many Americans siding against Israel these days. They have no concept of honor and loyalty.

Joe's actions are to be expected. He's on his way out of power and he's trying to save his job: if the Senate Democrats get a majority without him, he'll lose his committee. If McCain wins, John will find him a job. Joe is just trying to remain relevant and employed... it's just a matter of time before he's on the street.

Senator Lieberman, the last thing you have is being American. Your are traitor to the Democratic Party as well to our Nation. You are an agent working for the extremist in Israel and a warmonger that the last thing you care is for America. The Democratic Party is a Party that support and will always stand up for Israel being Obama or Clinton or anyone we decide to become our President. Please get off our backs and declare your self Republican.( and Republicans be careful with him) We democrats for Clinton will vote Democrat and will follow the course of our leader H.R. Clinton that she want us to take, that will get a Democratic President elected in November (I do not think she want us to vote for McCain). and so far that will be Obama and probably Mrs. Clinton as his back up. Mr. Lieberman don't
dream about it , it could turn into a nightmare,just stay away please!!!!

Thank goodness for Joe Lieberman!! As a life-long democrat, my faith in our party just took a huge drop as I watched so-called democrats turning on one of our best and brightest . Hillary Clinton is what this country needs, and I will NEVER vote for Obama, after experiencing the hate-laced vitriol of his fever-eyed supporters. Better McCain-Lieberman than Obama and his crooked gang. Wake up America! Think for yourselves, and don't let the Obamabots rip this country apart!!!

Just because Lieberman does not support obama he is a traitor? Just because Lieberman believes we should not abandon Iraq and let it sink into civil war he is a warmonger. Lieberman's abandoning of the Democratic Party can not be equated to his abandonment of America unless we live in a communist country. The views and comments here are quite scary actually, and a reason the left wing of the Democratic Party scares off people with more central views that might agree with many of the principles of the Democratic Party like abortion, health care and so on. I would feel safer in Communist China than among the posters here, as at least they allow some dissenting views.

I think he is right.. Those who disagree are blinded by biased mind. If you read and make yourselves a little more enlightened, you will see that there is no other way but to AVOID voting for the Obama camp. What they did and how the media dismissed Hillary is far far away from any concept of democracy. So, yes, McCain, welcome! And shame on you biased media. I think the people in the streets have been forgotten by you, in your delusional path of being right all the time. I am only 40, I am not a religious person nor a gun lover, and I am very liberal. But I will vote for John McCain because you, the media, and the way the Democratic party has handled Hillary, have put me off voting for Obama forever.

I think we democrats can call our party what we wish. We do not need those of the "republic" party telling us what to do. You Republics are going down this fall.

Heard on the news three days ago that, over the past 15 years, while "Rev." Wright has been spewing his hate-filled, racist, anti-American, anti-white speeches, and Obama has been "not-hearing" any of that, their "church", which recently gave a Lifetime Achievement award to Louis Farrakhan, has quietly been the recipient of $15,000,000 of our tax dollars! They are probably still getting it!
How'd they arrange to get that much of our tax money, who set that up, do you think? Separation of church and state? Has that been repealed? Do you think anybody should ask Obama if he had anything to do with getting that "church" this money? If he didn't, who did? Shouldn't we know?
Joe Lieberman? Would be a great addition to McCain's candidacy. Hope he is the choice!

I guess you could say I was born and raised a Republican, but with the caveat that I always had, and was encouraged to use, my own mind to think and consider facts. So I've always been willing to vote for a Democrat, if they'd offer up someone worth voting for (in my supposedly informed opinion). Well, Lieberman is the exact opposite of that. He's generally been a tax-and-spend liberal, but with socially conservative views such favoring censorship and supporting religion in government. With recent news of McCain's support for warrantless wire tapping (I'm not sure the quote I read really said that, but it comes close) and now Lieberman's support, McCain is beginning to look like someone I don't want in office. At least we FINALLY have an election that should really get us out and voting. McCain and Obama are both people of substance and the debate on who to vote for, I think, will transcend party politics more than any time in recent history. Perhaps, in this light, Obama is that Democrat worth voting for.

What is Connecticut going get of this, Senator, a weasel shaped submarine?

The Dems are so good at screwing themselves that in this election when most americans are ready to vote Democrat, they decided to choose an inexperienced, under-qualified politician to be the candidate. That's why people like Lieberman quit the party. Hillary Clinton should quit too. She should run as an independent. With all the votes she's already won, there has never been a more qualified and viable independent candidate.

I supported John Edwards, then Hillary Clinton. I will NEVER EVER support Barack Hussein Obama! I will proudly cast my vote for Sen. McCain, a true hero. He spent his time as a POW and then returned home to be bashed by both democrats and republicans alike.

Sen. Lieberman, I believe follows in his independent footsteps, as does Sen. Hagel.

Lieberman is a Bushie and always has been, im not surprised he's pushing for what would be in effect a 3rd Bush term.

During the Clinton years, the Democratic Party offered a big tent open to liberals and centrists. The expulsion of a fine US Senator, Joe Lieberman, from the party began a takeover by leftwing Obama supporters. Thank you, Senator Lieberman, for showing centrist and, dare I say, conservative Democrats that John McCain offers an alternative to Obama, Bill Ayers, Rev. Wright and Father Pfleger.

This is the latest example of Lieberman's passive aggressive behavior towards "fellow" Democrats. He is trying to embarrass the party to punish us for rejecting him in the Connecticut primary. Lieberman's loyalty to the party and its ideals was the main issue in the primary, he has proven we were right about him all along. His utter lack of integrity is pathetic. He is like a child acting out. He really is too old to be acting like this. He must have mental problems.

Joe Leiberman is a true statesman who knows both of these candidates personally. I respect his position. I am a former Clinton donor who is now very interested in McCain. My biggest problem with Obama is all of his anti-American associates such as Jeremiah Wright, Michael Pfleger, Tony Rezko, Ayers etc. - Obama most likely does not share all of their views, but he must share some after hanging out with them for twenty years.

Lieberman is trying to get McCain elected over that liberal candidate that wants to be Carter's second term.

Obama is a quitter. He quit the Muslim faith, he quit his minister, he quit his church, he quit campaigning, he wants to quit being a senator., Let's face it this guy is a poster boy for the "QUITTERS."

Dave (Midwesterner)

Liberalism is a mental disease not even a choice. Why don't all of you get out of this beautiful country and go live in iran with obama.

Lieberman is what the Democrats use to be. Sadly now they are mostly just Socialist. McCain has a chance to win in a landslide over admitted former drug user Barack Obama who has surrounded himself with anti-Americans, Socialist and racists.

you're intolerant statements against joe's views shows just how hypocritical you really are... stop and read what some of you have said. you are calling someone a neo con and then in the same breath calling violently for his removal... you are the pot calling the kettle black if thats the way you feel and its why your party is so divided. people see through such biased and unjust points of view.

respect your adversaries

I agree with others' view that Lieberman main interest is for our policies to continue supporting Israel with total disregard of the damage such support may cause our nation.

September 11 didn't happen in a vacuum; it was the result of our skewed policies vis-a-vis Israel.

He listens to AIPAC more that he listens his constituents. It is time we kick that ass out of the nation's political life.

Vichy Democrat

McCain-Clinton?

Crazy as it sounds, it sure will make my vote for McCain a less bitter pill to swallow come NOvember.

There is no question that Israel is the best friend America has in the world. Joe Lieberman is not always right (apparently unlike some posters here) and frankly for the most part I don't agree with him. But he is an honorable man who puts his principles ahead of whatever fad holds sway among the crowd. Reading comments here, all I can say is the way anti semitism has become fashionable in this country over the last few years is shocking and apalling, What ever happened to the liberal ideal of equality for all and freedom of religion? Shame.
You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Would you like powerful people talking about you the way you do about this man? and about your wives? And daughters?
Do any of you have something substantial in the way of a criticism?
Or are you reduced to mere jew-baiting.

Vote For Me Boston. Go Celts!

Dear "L" et al.:
Its so sad to see "Democrats" threaten to switch their presumptive vote from Hillary to McCain just because Obama managed to edge her out during a long and difficult campaign for both camps.
I have to ask: what did you see in Hillary that you now see in McCain? McCain's policies are at direct odds with everything Hillary stood for.
That you would sell out your own principles out of spite is truly telling....maybe that's why the Republicans have managed to put a stranglehold on this country for so long: narcissistic infighting on the left, despite brilliant minds, accomplishments, and ideas; and monolithic goose-stepping on the right, with glorification of mediocre leaders and a penchant for monosynaptic policy making.
The irony is, I am going to do quite well regardless of who ends up in office this fall-its the folks who have the most to lose who have decided they are going to vote with their egos rather than their brains. So I shall gather the tissues, so I can look remotely sympathetic when you come crying about your sons (still) in Iraq, your foreclosed home, your loss of reproductive rights, and the loss of national dignity.
But wait-you were in it for the gas tax relief!! Happy motoring. All is for the best in this best of all possible worlds.

You creeps. Leiberman has always been and still is a reliable liberal democrat. On one issue, the war, he differed and risked his own career to take a principled stand. For that one difference you throw him out. YOU are the disloyal ones, YOU left him over one difference after all those years. He has stood the same ground he always has.

Yes...a McCain-Clinton ticket. That makes am incredible amount of sense. By all means please do it. A political stroke of genious. If you think you can get 270 electoral votes with self hating Democrats and Obama haters, that is. To the rest of the GOP (and nation) that would be like puttin' lipstick on a pig! Fo'real!

I like how when a Democrat agrees with a Republican on just two or three issues and declares his support for that Republican, he's called a traitorous Jew who should be imprisoned. When a Republican agrees with a Democrat (Obama) on everything to begin with, and then comes out to support Obama, that's called bipartisanship. Call it both ways.

Obama's all style and absolutely no substance. His campaign is based on creative slogans and comparing McCain to Bush. Like John Kerry in '04, Obama has no plan for these changes that I certainly don't believe in. In the end - charisma will not beat out the proven leadership of John McCain.

Folks thinking like Jack above are quite messed up. So silly that I believe they are republicans trying to maintain the silly division in the democratic party. Hillary will support Obama, yet her "supporters" will support McCain. Ridiculous.

Joe Lieberman is the traitor? A Benedict Arnold? His party abandoned him in 2006, not the other way around. The Democratic party endorsed Ned Lamont.

Charles Bell-Being Moderate in no way shows a weakness of character! By endorsing John McCain, Senator Lieberman is not endorsing the Republican Party. He is trying to unite people, to create support not coming from the far left or the far right, but from the middle, where the majority of America is. When McCain and Obama debate the issues over the next few months America will see that Obama is a very liberal leader, and while McCain is certainly conservative, he is much closer to center than Obama

McCain's candidacy used to stand for something until it degenerated into the usual partisan claptrap of tax cuts and war. You know, the stuff that gave us the falling dollar and $4 gas, and don't forget thousands of dead kids, with worse to come on each of those counts. McCain's ideas have been tried and they've failed and if Lieberman doesn't get it, forget him. Both those guys have flunked their generation's test of strategic IQ, and they keep on flunking. Fight terrorism with war? Wrong answer, gentlemen.

The irony here is that OBAMA is more like the next Reagan. No I don't mean he thinks trees cause pollution. I mean he's cool, self-confident, a gifted communicator who connects with people. He's always been the only one in the race this year who's got that mojo, and Hillary hated him for it because after all it was her turn, and look where she is now. McCain is next. McCain's only hope is never to be seen in the same room with his opponent, because then you may as well hang a neon sign on him saying "Grouchy Old Coot with No Positive Agenda". You can't win the general election that way, which is why McCain is going to LOSE. People will vote for the upbeat optimist, just like they did for Reagan (twice) and Bill Clinton (twice). This will be Clinton/Dole all over again. If you don't believe me ask the futures traders, who are breaking 65/35 for Obama, you can read it in the news.

Wow, there's a lot of Jew haters in Boston. All you guys need is a funny mustache, some brown shirts, and some ovens, and you guys are set up there. Big Smile, Boston, Big Smile!

I'm disgusted by all these Democratic Party hacks that simply dismiss anything Joe Lieberman says. Guess what boys, there used to be such a thing as conservative Democrats back in the day before the party got hijacked by an uber-liberal cognoscenti. Good for him for speaking his mind and not being bound by partisan chains that are destroying America.

The Anti Semitic statements on a mainstream website like this are bone chilling.

I love how so many of you attack Israel, the only Democracy and true friend of the United States.

For the record, Obama and McCain both support Israel. So does Hillary Clinton. But does Israel get mentioned in an anti semitic code word way when talking about them?

As an American Jew, seeing the hatred spewed at such a staunch ally of the United States - an ally whether a Democrat or a Republican is in office - is scary and disheartening.

Hey, poster #5: Lieberman didn't turn on the Democratic Party, or have you forgotten?

They betrayed him and threw him under the bus. Get your facts straight.

When are you people going to realize that Obama brings nothing but psychology and hype, but weakness in any other respect. You can get Americans pumped up so much, but with oil prices, economy, so forth, what can he do in actuality. What real strength or power does he have domesticallly or even with foreign policy. He is bent on pleasing the foreign powers of the rest of the world so that we are not interpreted as being offensive. Do you honestly think winning brownie points with Europe, China, and Russia will help fundamentally improve our nation.

Has anyone even once thought about what an immediate pullout of Iraq will do to oil prices????

Don't blame Lieberman in changing his party...because of the "DNC"..They
were mean to Hilarry and now, tried to butter her up to get her supporters to
vote for OBAMA...NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!!! I will change may party to
"Independent" and vote for McCain. even if Hilary endorses Obama..Too may "Judases in that party and could not be trusted..

It is sad to see so many people buy up the hype that the media tries to sell instead of watching the candidates speeches for themselves and getting there own opinions. It also hurts to see so many Americans show hatred towards each other. For all you hard-core party members that have responded you should think what is best for the country as a whole not just listen to what your side says and take it as fact. I hear the democrats screaming "George Bush the third, McCain changes his opinion, etc etc" I watch MSNBC because that is the only station allowed on our work TV and I've seen the speeches of Clinton, McCain and Obama and out of all of them Obama has changed his position on his point of views more and he's contradicted himself more. Why this isn't brought up on the news like it is for McCain one can only wonder. I would hope as intelligent Americans that you do the research for yourself and then make your decision on which you want to vote for. It is your American right to have your own opinion. But don't trash someone for having a different opinion and/or because you "heard" they did this or said that. Get the facts first.

I am a Hillary Clinton supporter voting for John McCain in November. It was nice that Lieberman formed this group. There are many of us who want a President with experience, who considers herself/himself an American. Obama only considers himself an "American" for election purposes. My daughter needs a Commander-in-Chief who knows what she/he is doing, not just some power-hungry, wet-behind-the-ears Senator. John McCain cares about this country. Since I have joined the McCain team, I am no longer called a racists or stupid (any Democrat supporting Hillary Clinton is called a racist and uneducated, by Obama supporters). I have a PhD in Finance, thank you very much, and I don't care if Obama's skin was purple - I still wouldn't vote for him! Obama's supporters are still being nasty to Clinton supporters! You would think they would want our vote. Apparently not. How we have been treated by McCain's supporters is a lovely reflection of their candidate. We are grateful for the warm welcome.

Thank you, Sen. Lieberman! I am one of those Democrats who will be voting for McCain. The so-called "leadership" of the Dems betrayed the majority of the party and imposed their will. Obama outspent Sen. Clinton by about 4-1, yet she outpolled him in March by over 250,000 votes and by over 400,000 votes in April, May and June. Obama's strength lay in states with caucuses. Sen. Clinton garnered more votes in both Nevada and Texas, yet those states awarded more delegates to Obama. This was with the support of Pelosi, Reid, Dean and company.
I've already sent in my voter registration change. By pushing out Sen. Clinton, the Dems have told her supporters that the "Dem umbrella" doesn't have room for us.

Go Mac!

eGads is right! ...won't Obama just go away? and take his hateful wife with him?

real Americans want a Real American for President!

Voltaire: I will answer the question regarding what do we see in McCain that we also saw in Hillary. The answer is several things: character. Integrity. Conviction. Experience. Knowledge. A record to run on. A lifetime of service to others than herself. Intelligence. what do we see in Obama? Jeremiah Wright. Michael Phlegar. William Ayers. Tony Rezko. Michelle Obama. Bitter, gun toting, religion clinging, (that really took the cake - such a pious, religious man ridiculing people for clinging to their guns and religion, but given the church he attended, it shouldn't have been suprising). Yes, the fact McCain was a POW who could have come home and refused unless his men were released impresses me. He is a man of honor, and conviction. He stands on principle. He has a proven track record. He has worked for years in bipartisanship. He is not an ideologue. He doesn't threaten me, and please, don't pull up Roe v Wade. That arguement doesn't sway any of us into voting for Obama, it just pisses us off more that now all of a sudden you are concerned about women's rights when you weren't before. So there is your answer. Yes, we will vote McCain before Obama. And it has nothing to do with repudiating Hillary or her platform or policies. Its a repudiation of Obama's lack of experience and lack of judgement and lack of character. And its a repudiation of the DNC.

I see many participants in orgy party, which in its center is the hate to Israel. Be careful you can get some kind of diseases.

Thank you Lieberman! And I'd also like to say thanks to number 85, the (smart) USMCGrandma and the other Hillary supporters who can see whats good for our country. Like Hillery once commented about how her or McCain will know how to take a 3AM call to defend our country, but Obama would be able to recite a 2002 speech. Just words. Being a great speaker is good for a country that has no vision. Americans have always had vision and dreams come true. America, lets not be duped by good speeches, get to reality. Lieberman, Clinton and McCain all understand reality and have made good choices of who there friends and mentors are. Tony didn't buy there houses. Jesus is the last person I herd about calming the sea and feeding the poor. Does Obama think hes the Messiah? Maybe Obama should lead a terrorist country, lets not let ours be over ran by racist and terrorists.

Obama? I'm sick of hearing the words change and hope--change WHAT?? Hope for WHAT? There is no substance in the senator with no real experience. The senator who, in a film clip, stated he has been to 50 of our 57 states. The senator who won't visit Iraq but WILL visit Iran, Chavez, etc.

We are in big big trouble when people vote themselves a paycheck and that is what voting for Obama is--but who do you think is going to pay for taking care of people who don't want to take care of themselves? You and I. We now have whole generations of people who have been taken care of with big government. Welcome to Obama's world.

I am so excited about this! I had my four year old daughter at the voting booth press those buttons to vote for Hillary. If I can't have her, I will for the first time ever vote for the GOP candidate. Like me there are lots of other people who have been proud to be an American my entire life unlike other highly profile Democrats. I refuse to vote for Obama so he can have on the job training in the White House just like I would not have a doctor skip the medical school training and do heart surgery on me for practice.

I want McCain/Clinton dream 2008 tickets.

Let's see, Obama has been tied to domestic terrorists of the flower child generation, big money in Chicago, extreme racism in his own church (for TWENTY years without moving out of the pew). He has had Jeremiah Wright and Mr. Pfleger on his advisory committee, and only tossed them off when it became a political liability - not after he heard them spew racial hatred and "advise" him for years. He refused to wear a American flag lapel pin, and his wife is only proud of America when her husband is running for Pres.

He is for higher taxes, talking with terrorist states abroad, cutting military spending drastically (and that is not just pulling out of Iraq by the way), and he claims that all these unsavory characters he has surrounded himself with for more than twenty years has had no affect on him. Hmmmmm, RRRIIIIIGGGGHHHHHTTT - and Jeremiah Wright just loves white people I suppose.

He is a wonderful politician. But what we do not need is a slick talker - We need a dependable leader. He gives great speeches on "change". What change - he has been razor thin on answering that one. If Joe Lieberman can see this and call for Americans of all parties to come together to back John McCain - Thank God!!!!!! Oh, and by the way, wasn't it Obama who dismissed a female reporter by calling her "sweetie" - heck, he's sexist, racist and unpatriotic, what a wonderful combination for the Pres. of the US.

I feel it says a lot about the childish mentality of our nation when an entire group of people are willing to sabotage the entire country by opting for a candidate with proven failed policies as if to spitefully punish those which they disagree with. It's somewhat like cutting off one's nose to spite their face.

As far as hate speech is concerned, why is no one up in arms about the pastors which McCain regularly hangs out with? Pastor Hagee, for instance, blamed Katrina on a gay parade, and insisted that Hitler was sent by God to kill disobedient Jews. This is never in the news. Rarely are the clips of McCain claiming very little economic knowledge ever displayed.

I see many participants in orgy party, which, in its center, is the hate to Israel. Be careful, you can get some kinds of diseases.

The sour-grapes and anti semitic undertones from dissed Obama supporters on the far left is very dissappointing. Isreal is a very real friend and partner of the U.S. on a wide range of regional issues, as is Turkey and other countries in the region - these friendships are not based on the religions of their people and leaders. Politics as usual as well - when someone has the 'audacity' to stand up for something he believes in ... but oops .., it isn't your candidate - you try to cut his legs out - the irony here is surreal. Although the Obama candidacy bodes well for this increasingly diverse country - after I step back the more and more I read and hear Obama and his supporters speak the more I move my Independent vote to the mid/right. Senator Lieberman shows courage to step over the line and endorse McCain - it does not take much research to discover why he would do this. USMCGrandma lays out some views I share. Also Obama has gotten himself in over his head so many times and just does not have the self constraint or policy experience to contain the reckless policy statements made in rushes to appear presidential when presented questions on national security; often to be restated over an over again with each restatement a slight but very real retracement in recognition of the error made. Any sensible person listening to Obama speeches gives cause to redouble and check your enthusiasm (he reminds me of a puppet master with control over the strings in all those in the crowd - funny and scary - are these people used to thinking for themselves). Reliance on Charisma usually masks serious flaws and when you dig deeper beyond the facade, and start counting the dollars for what he wants to do and the expansion in governmet control over reasource allocations bordering on socialism .... Senator Lieberman apparently sees these and other weaknesses in Obama and chose the better candidate to support.

I'd rather have a Jewish in or around the White House than a Muslim any day of the week. Any day of my life.
McCain is an honest man and speak the thuth or what he believe is the truth.
The other one, will say anything or do anything just to be elected, regardless of his believe. He is a just a good orator and say what people like to hear. He will not be able to change much or deliver on his promises.

Is it just me ... or do people think a neophyte is a good choice in a period of danger. Obama has neglected the war on terror -- Taliban and Al Queda contol about 60% of the territory there and the number of enemy combantants there is growing daily. Obama has one major Senate subcommittee hearing and is responsible for this area for U.S. yet he has held zero hearings on the disaster that is becoming Afghanistan and made only one trip for 1 day three years ago. He has never met the commanding General in charge there or his boss. Yet he says we must win there.

McCain, who's committee oversees Iraq area has held dozens of hearings, opposed the President repeatedly, he has put boots on the ground there 8 times in last three years, meets regularly with the commanding General and his boss, and finally in Iraq the Iraqi's control 98% of the territory there and have captured or killed the bulk.

Is it me, or is Obama's neglect of duty, in the area he says is most important to our national security related to the coming disaster there? We will soon need to surge Afghanistan (50,000 more troops) to get control of anything but the major cities - the Soviet Union tried to hold the country with just the cities and was defeated if you recall. Yet Obama is compacent and complicit in this. He cares nothing for the troops there or the "vital" mission he says they have there. And that is now resulting in increased levels of violence, U.S. soldiers carrying an increasing share of the burden and U.S. casualties increasing. If Sen Obama were military, his lack of concern and failure to perform his duties would merit a court martial.

Where as McCain has been diligent in overseeing the Iraq theatre and demanding that the mission, force and commitment needed for success be put in place and the troops supported. Not a coincidence that once that was done the violence there is much reduced, U.S. soldiers are increasingly just standing by and providing assistance and training, and U.S. troop casulaties are rapidly decreasing, the Iraqi govt. is brokering deals to achieve political reconciliation and economic growth, etc . etc. Result, expect about 30,000 troops to come home by Christmas.

Lieberman is right to go against the turntails of his former party. afterall -- 92% of Democrats agreed with 87% of Republicans to start this war. yes obama fools -- that is right -- more Democrats voted for the use of force than Republicans did -- but rather than lead and demand it be fought correctly, the Dems saw an opportunity in the polls and started to undermine the soldiers by trying to prevent them from getting equipment, stop reinforcements being recruited and trained, and declaring them incompetent and now wish to write off to political expediency the 3,230 combat dead and their families plus the nearly 18,000 seriously wounded and maimed soldiers and accomplish nothing with the real spent treasure except a short term political advantage. Obama even says he wants to treat the number one killer of Americans there (Iran) as an equal and as a friend. Talk about treason!!! Lieberman is the only prominent Democrat to understand that you don't aid and abet those whose attack and kill Americans because it is politically convenient.

This is more proof that John McCain has been and will be successful in crossing the aisle to accomplish his goals in the White House. Obama supporters are not grounded in common sense, they are addicted to the kumbaya koolaid. Obama as President will be the same as Carter, and we can't afford that. Obama's judgement is sorely lacking as proven in his choice of friends, mentors, and how many times he's had to return campaign contributions from shady characters.

McCain 08

In Barack Obama, the Democratic Party has a leader for peace and justice who will rebuild our nation's honor after the dreadful foreign policies of our current president.

peace and justice?????? Is that what his American haters in Reve Wright and Ayers stnad for also?? I do not want to shock you spineless libs, but Hussein Obama listened to American hatred from those two for twenty years. Now, that he is running for president, he renounces. "Pease and justice" GOd you libs are incredible. If Obama the Socialist wins, we will well be on our way to becoming France

I'm neither a Hillary, Obama, Lieberman, or McCain fan. What I do find funny in these posts are those who only chastize Lieberman for putting foreigners before American Citizens. News Flash! Both Republicans and Democrats puts the interest of foreigners before citizens. Israel, the Sudan, Bosnia...blah blah blah. Barack Obama wants you to be a Global Citizen..not an American Citizen. The only presidential candidate this past primary season that wanted to implement an America first policy is Ron Paul.

At any rate, I'm voitng for McCain and I hope he puts a young, fresh, and intelligent guy like Bobby Jindal on his ticket. I'm at deep odds with a lot of McCain's views but he has the experience and has shown he can work with people across parties.

The biggest thing that worries me about Obama is his inexperience. Like Bush, who was also inexperienced, he will depend more heavily on the people he puts as his advisors. We all know how disastrous that has turned out for our current president. I'm worried about the type of people that Obama would put around him, particularly given his poor track record on judging character (the oafs at the Trinity Church, Asaro, etc.).

It is surprising, or perhaps not, how many comments from writers who obviously support the candidacy of Barack Obama shout their vitriolic bile on the E ways.
We can sure expect peace and reconciliation from this mob! Ha!

Sen Lieberman was tossed aside by the Democratic party. He had the courage of his convictions that others shared his vision for this country. He ran Independent and in the word's of MLK, Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, free at last.
I congratulate him on his new endeavor and I know that he will get an overwhelming response from those who are looking for more than empty rhetoric and marketing ploys and who want to get involved without committing to either party. Good for you, Sen. Lieberman. Let's make this the beginning of an independent party that rewards independent thought and ideas and welcomes all into it's ranks, not just the demographics that the candidate needs to work at the time.

Is it me or is there an awful lot of hate-filled rhetoric from the Obama supporters. I understand supporting a candidate but will someone please recognize that this is about issues, not personality.

I voted for Hillary and I will now be voting for McCain. Last I heard each voter could cast his or her “own” vote. It bothers me that so many people are willing to criticize voters who decide to vote differently from them. I do not hate anyone who votes for Obama that’s an individual’s choice.
I for one take into account various things including issues and the character of the candidate. I admired Hillary Clinton. I think she is committed, patriotic, and “real.” I see these characteristics in McCain and not in Obama and therefore I’ll be voting for McCain.
I think a McCain/Clinton would be awesome! It would be great for our country—two hard-working people who love this country and will work hard to protect it.

I am with Joe Liberman. I believe he can unite the millions of Independents like me. I believe that divided we fail. United we are STRONG and I want a strong PRESIDENT who loves and is willing to die for our country!
I am an American that wants the best for America who dosen't focus on the worst.
I want a strong Commander in Chief.
No matter how you feel about the war, the next POTUS will be leading that war.
Our troops and their families RESPECT McCain.
Our country need a man of HONOR, not rhetoric.
We need a leader who can work both sides of the ailse.

Obama wants to be a World leader, by assigning a global tax on all Americans to aid the poor outside of America.
He is unpatriotic, unexperienced, elitist and ignorant to his own party.
The DNC compromise was what cost the party my vote. No name on a ballot, no votes, period.
The way the press handled him (but ignored his RADICAL and EXTREME associations) and his flip flopping campaign about everyone including his typical white woman Grandmother shows he will say anything and do anything to win.

Obama explains National Anthem Stance:
'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides,' Obama said. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.'

Not in my country, we say GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Vote John McCain for a stronger America!

When is the Republican base going to wake up and put some real support behind John McCain? Sitting back while Obama gains ground is like fiddling while Rome burns. Surely Republicans and corporate America prospered during the last 8 years. Now is the time to allocate some of those resources to help McCain beat Obama. I know some Republicans don't like McCain, but would you rather see Obama get elected? Republicans ... Don't bite off your nose to spite your face!
Support John McCain NOW!

P.S. Check out all the nasty, sarcastic personal attacks typically posted by the far left Obamabots on this blog.

Since Obama is virtually buying the Presidency of the United States, Has anybody actully investigated the origin of Obama's hundreds of millions of dollars? We are told that it's coming from individual's small donations via the internet, but how do we know it's not origianally coming from radical sources, or even from overseas interests?
