Lieberman: Wronged Or Just Wrong?

Ned Lamont won the primary fair and square. No politician should feel entitled to automatic re-election. The loser should gracefully accept the will of his party. It's a privilege, not a right. It's called Democracy.

Sen. Lieberman now seems intent on making his constituents pay for their disloyalty. How does this help Connecticut? How does this help him?

Yes, Ned Lamont won the PRIMARY fair and square. Joe Lieberman won the ELECTION fair and square.

Sen. Lieberman is serving his constituents well. Thank you Sen. Lieberman.

Ned Lamont suggests that Joe is a loser, did Ned win something that I didn't hear about? Lamont is a beaten has been, hang it up Ned. At least Lieberman has the guts to do what he believes is right for our country.

I thought that elections were about the will of the people, not the party. Lamont's the loser, since Lieberman WON the election.

It's called Democracy.

He should have stated from the start that if he lost the primary he would run as an independent. He did not. He waited until he lost the primary. It is all about Joe being in office, not about the people he represents.

"It is all about Joe being in office, not about the people he represents". You must be walking around with your head stuck up somewhere. Joe represents ALL the people of this @#$%&* state of ours, not just the Democraps.

This is true, where state is the State of Israel not Connecticut.

Thank you the abusive language. It speaks volumes about you.
I do not believe Joe "represents" me. I just see someone who is in office to fulfill his own needs. I do not agree with the way he conducted himself with regards to the primary but that has nothing to do with my disagreement of how he attempts to do his job. When is that last time he spoke to issues in Connecticut? He has been to busy campaigning for someone else.

For some reason while I was reading this op-ed piece I couldn't get the image of a spoiled rich kid who lost a game and then throwing a temper tantraum out of my head.

Joe won by manipulation. We need to switch to popular votes.

Please run again. I really liked you.

Well, I cannot comment on the job he is doing for the good folks of Ct. But, when I see him with McCain and other Republicans he looks like a puppy being led around on a leash with McCain and his people saying, "Hey, look what we found".
Just an observation and not intended as a comment on the way he represents Ct.(can't spell the whole word)

Sorry Ned, but you come accross as a sore loser.

Oh yeah? What has he done in the Senate for you since re-election

Ned, you have a second chance coming. Senator Dudd's term (and career I hope) ends in 2010. Call the printers and tell them to start making new signs.

Right, good thought, I hope Ned runs and keeps running until he is in Florida. He got whipped here by a scab and hasn't stopped crying since.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Should all primary candidates state that they will run as a primary/write in candidate, or just this one?

And, do you know. did he runa as an idependent or a write -in? I don't remember, but I do believe that he is now a registered dem.

Ned bought the primary but couldn't buy the election. The disloyalty wasn't from his constituents that elected him. It was from his Democratic buddies who wanted to reward Ned's deep pockets with Joe's senate seat.

Ned doesn't win elections. He buys them. Or, in the 2006 Senate race he spent nearly $13,000,000.00 of his own money trying to buy the election.

As an Independent for over 40 years I've never worked to get a candidate elected. However, if this cry baby Ned Lamont runs again I will work 24/7 for his opponent's campaign.
