Time for Joe to leave the Democratic Party. Time for Joe to depart as our Senator from Connecticut. He votes for legislation that is out of step with 90% of his constituents views on the economy, the wars and other pressing matters. Seems to want to pay back the D.N.C. for it's lack of support, well, now the D.N.C. is the ones looking for pay back. Tell Joe he's no longer needed and kick him to the curb like the dog he is...Trust voters will do same in '12, then he can relocate to Israel and serve his people just like he's been doing in the U.S. Senate for his entire tenure. JOE HAS GOT TO GO!

The Lieberwhore is just lucky Connecticut voters won't have a chance to kick him to the curb entirely for another four years. Too bad for us. He strikes me as someone whose not only a serious narcissist, but truly detached from reality at this point. I wonder if he'll keep in touch with his new best friend Sarah Palin now that the election is over? lol What a disgrace he turned out to be.

Joe is an independant. Typical political bullying from partisan politics. "If you're not with us, then get out" Joe should stick to his guns and tell them to stick it. He's been there long enough to do it his way.

He is a pandering turncoat who represents himself not our state. For almost a year now he has been on the road with McCain. Doesn't he have any work to do? He is a disgrace.

Joe, maybe you should go Republican. The Democrats aren't going to be in the majority forever, and you should be where you're wanted and appreciated. If that's in the Republican caucus, so be it. The Democrats will be sorry someday that the again turned their backs on you. I and the silent majority of Connecticut voters will happily vote for you again in 2012 because like you, it's about the candidate, not the party.

The morons in Connecticut who voted for Lieberman now bring shame on Connecticut. Ned Lamont would have been a rising force in the Senate by now, and instead Connecticut is saddled with Lame Duck Lieberman, who no one wants and no one will work with.

The people of the state will suffer for having a crippled Senator.

lieberman's support of mccain is less an issue than his trashing of obama and his campaigning for republicans across the ticket (which gives the lie to his self-serving claim that he was putting partisanship second to the national interest)...joe the pol was, as usual, looking for a comfortable spot for joe, a place to hide after his "connecticut for me" heist.

nothing like the ruthless recriminations of the self-righteous! You idiots don't have an ounce of the intelligence and decency of Senator Lieberman. Perhaps he can go and you can elect another moronic scumbag like Chris Dodd.

If you cross the Democrats retribution is swift! The party of the American Worker is the party of "hold the party line OR ELSE!" They take care of Democrats right or wrong.

What I find amazing is how much I admired Joe up to and including the 2000 election. I always voted for him and I was extremely proud of him and Connecticut when Al Gore tapped him for his VP. Did the national spotlight scorch his brain? At the very least it stoked his ego. And regardless of what you think of Ned Lamont, he definitely took Joe down a couple of notches. I don't think Joe has ever gotten over this.

Joe, this goes out to you. Drop the "maverick" BS and get back to the business of working for the people of Connecticut. You remember us, don't you? The folks who put you where you are today? You've got four years.......

It is sad to see that so many politicians care more about party lines than integrity.

I am glad to live in America where we are allowed to have different points of view and where no one can force us to change our core beliefs, not even by threatening to take away a chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee.

The Republicians will galdy welcome Joe on OUR side. Harry doesn't need Joe now. But when those liberals needed Joe, there was no mention of booting him out of the Demos. Stinking liberals!!!!

I've always been embarassed about how the democratic party treats Joe. The Dems threw him under the bus after decades of service. No surprise they'll do it now.

SENATOR, THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP TO YOU BELIEVES AND FRIENDS. CT IS DEAD. IT WILL RUN ITSELF OUT OF BUSINESS ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE STATE WHO ARE IN TROUBLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE BILLS THAN WORKERS. THE FEDS WILL SEE THAT PROBLEM BEFORE THE YEAR OF '09 IS ENDED. theone will not have all the answers and the peasants will cry in the streets. Set back and watch the fun. Ingore these people. They are anger revenge seekers. You will get mad anyways when they start to destory that beautiful country ISREAL in the near future. End your term and come home. You put up a good fight and lost. But you did not lost you character or you spirit. You did not sell out like you will see people do in the future.

Daily Horoscope for February 13

Scorpio

Resistance from others arises with regard to your efforts. You may strike trouble with in-laws or close associates and there could even be a move against you. Take the time to consult with everyone about what they want and then try to work in with them. If you have any problems with legal people or folk from overseas, tread carefully. Don't let your lifestyle betray your beliefs.
