STRANDED SENATOR A DEAD MAN RUNNING (Lieberman gets more bad news on campaign trail)

NY POST ^ | August 7, 2006 | ANDREA PEYSER

[Vaquero]

Even with all his liberal baggage, he is better than any candidate that has a chance of winning in Connecticut. He should win as an independent and then become a Republican. Hell he is better than Chaffee

[stocksthatgoup]

lieberman is a liberal in all things but Israel.

[Fresh Wind]

...a man fumed from his car. "How many more people have to die for oil?

If he's mad now, just wait 'till there's no oil to run his car.

[johnny7]

Better than Hagel too. Lieberman's about as liberal as they come... but he knows who the enemy is abroad.

He is now finding out who the enemy is... at home.

[backhoe]

...a man fumed from his car. "How many more people have to die for oil? If he's mad now, just wait 'till there's no oil to run his car.

That pretty much says it all...

I'm probably opposite Joe 90% of the time, but I hate to see him treated like this.

[7thson]

A lot of people are extremely stupid. Here we have another ignorant jackarse saying the people dying for oil crap while it is over 3 bucks a gallon - and expected to go higher from BP closing down one of their fields in Alaska. And so much for Bill Clinton campaigning for someone. I swear, that guy is the kiss of death. The talking heads fall all over themselves saying what a great campaigner he is yet the only one he has ever gotten elected is himself!

[Suzy Quzy]

LIEberman is a POS on everything except Israel and the war. he is WORSE than Chafee.

[MNJohnnie]

I think it ought to be disclosed that the Author of this piece is a neo Marxist class warrior close in line with Code Pink in her thinking then with serious political commentators.

I think this is another act of new age affirmation "Journalism" a case of the author believing that if they keep saying something it will some how become true.

[SE Mom]

Agree backhoe...

[elcid1970]

If Radical Ned replaces Joe Likeable, there could be a silver lining for Republicans. The DemoRats slide ever further to the fevered left, and there's a two year rocky horror picture show leading up to 2008, when a frightened electorate will frantically vote against them.

[jmaroneps37]

liar man has a 17% ACU rating. That is lower than any rino even chaffee, snow collins etc. Let him win as an indy and stay that way.

[Raycpa]

If he loses, watch liberal candidates everywhere overplay the anti-war card.

[Brilliant]

I doubt that throwing Lieberman overboard is going to go over well for the Dems among Jewish voters.

[Brilliant]

The anti-War card will play well in a Dem primary. I'm guessing it won't work quite as well in the general election.

[backhoe]

Thank you- whatever we may contest about the Senator's positions, he's been a public servant for years- he must have done something right, to keep getting elected where he is.

It's an ugly thing, to see him treated so shabbily.

The last 15 years or so have seen an awful degeneration of politics- it's all so personal and petty now, at least what I see from the Left is.

I long for the days of Scoop Jackson and Pat Moynihan, who you might not always agree with, but you wouldn't mind having them for neighbors, either.

This new bunch, I would not trust with my wallet, my wife, or my old dog...

[martin_fierro]

HE's GOT J O E M E N T U M !

[OldFriend]

How pathetic that he apologyzed for his heartfelt comment about putting his finger in the wind.

If he has any core principles they are long long gone.

He didn't stand up for the constitution when he gave slick willie a pass and now his former constituents are doing the same thing to him.

[OldFriend]

Over the weekend LIEberman jumped on her heinous' bandwagon and called for Rumsfeld to resign.

GOOD RIDDANCE JOE!!!

[PGalt]

The elitist extremists have decided to toss that busted Rolex they've been wearing, even though it gave them the correct time twice a day. It was all for show. Goodbye and good riddance, Joe.
