(WTNH) _ The Connecticut for Lieberman Party is calling on Senator Joseph Lieberman to resign from the U.S. Senate following his remarks made Sunday on CBS' Face the Nation regarding military action against Iran.

Lieberman said on the national television program that, "we've got to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians."

The Connecticut for Lieberman Chair, Dr. John Orman, called for Lieberman's resignation saying that he "crossed the line" and "no longer represents the views of the citizens of Connecticut."

Orman, a longtime critic of Lieberman, took control of the minority party back in January.

"no longer represents the views of the citizens of Connecticut."

Dead wrong. Last Senate election proved it.

I think it would take more than insane rantings of Loserman to initiate attack on Iran.

How did that work, exactly?

And they call John McCain a "maverick."

Joe is the real maverick because he is going against the liberals and the MSM while McCain is catering to them.

Sounds akin to the Pope asking Jesus to step down as God.

So a strong stance against terrorist-sponsoring states is “un-Democratic”? Interesting party they have.

They missed the news Joe Lieberman is NO LONGER a Democrat. He's an Independent.

Read it again.

It sounds like some Democrats made a hostile take over of Lieberman’s new party.

“”no longer represents the views of the citizens of Connecticut.””

If that is the basis for resignation, there would be about 4 Congress/Senators left in DC.

I thought the Demoncrat party was the party of “diversity”, “tolerance” and “the big tent”!!!

Sure, I mean how outrageous to propose attacking Iran just because it is killing our soldiers. (bitter sarcasm off)

i am not a fan of Lieberman’s but Orman is an attention whore that hijacked teh Lieberman party. It’s kinda like showing up after a frat party to clean up, yeah, you’re there but that’s about it.

“The Connecticut for Lieberman Chair, Dr. John Orman..”
“Orman, a longtime critic of Lieberman”

Huh? How do you become the chair of an organization to elect a guy you hate?

How Dimocrat.
