Who has had it with Joe Lieberman?

Poll question: Who has had it with Joe Lieberman?

I just want to see what you Connecticut guys if you have had it with ol' Joe Lieberman. It seems like a number of you are starting to get restlesss about his current position on the issues like Iraq, the confirmation of Alberto Gonzales to name a few.

It would seem in my honest opinion he is becoming the New England version of Zell Miller. But let's find out what you think. I want to see a few Connecticut Democrats go up against Joe. It would be an interesting and closely watched primary for sure.

2. Lol, Zell Lieberman

My sympathy and support from north of the border. Keep in touch for "Joe must go" support.

p.s. Your poll is pure, I did not vote.

3. He's a traitor not only to the party, but to his faith!

MHO!!!

As a Jew, I have a real hard time understanding his belief in what is the common good for his religious family!

4. Joe's Letter to me. PLUS my reply

I live in Stratford CT and unfortunately Joe is my Senator. I wrote to him and complained about his vote on Condi and here was his reply and my retort afterwords. --Kevin

Dear Mr. XXXXXXX:

Thank you for contacting me regarding changes in the Administration's
cabinet, specifically your concerns regarding the confirmation of Dr.
Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State. I appreciate the time you took to
share your views with me.

The Constitution of the United States did not include language regarding
a President's advisory group; however, by the early 1790s the term
"cabinet" was used as a term for the President's top advisor's.
Historically, and today, cabinet members are each appointed by the
President and subject to confirmation by the Senate. Cabinet members
serve at the will of the President and may be replaced at any time.
Traditionally, during a change of administration, cabinet members formally
resign – though they may remain in office until a successor is appointed.
Similarly, when an incumbent president enters his second term, many
cabinet members resign. Currently, nine members of the Bush Cabinet have
resigned.

I have always taken the Senate's advice and consent role very seriously,
especially when it comes to cabinet appointments. As you may know, the
Succession Act of 1947 outlines the order in which the Presidency is
filled, should there become a vacancy. The succession order includes
cabinet members in the chronological order by which their departments were
created. Each individual Senator, myself included, has an obligation to
make sure that he or she carefully considers each appointee and votes to
confirm only if he or she believes this person can carry out the duties
associated with the respective department. I have reviewed Dr. Rice's
testimony and experience and found her qualified to fulfill the
responsibilities of the position for which she has been confirmed. I do
not have to agree with every action she has taken or opinion she holds to
reach this judgment. For a copy of my full statement on the nomination
visit http://lieberman.senate.gov and look under "Current News."

My official Senate web site is designed to be an on-line office that
provides access to constituent services, Connecticut-specific information,
and an abundance of information about what I am working on in the Senate
on behalf of Connecticut and the nation. I am also pleased to let you
know that I have launched an email news update service through my web
site. You can sign up for that service by visiting
http://lieberman.senate.gov and clicking on the "Subscribe Email News
Updates" button at the bottom of the home page. I hope these are
informative and useful.

Thank you again for letting me know your views and concerns. Please
contact me if you have any additional questions or comments about our work
in Congress.
Sincerely,



Joe Lieberman

My reply:

Hon. Senator Lieberman,
How does lying qualify one for job advancement let alone for the lofty
position as Secretary Of State? Dr. Rice Lied to the President and to
the American people on multiple occasions. I find it disgusting that you consider this a worthy trait and one that makes her qualified to fulfill the responsibilities of the position? Your litmus test for leadership must different than I was brought up to believe in.

Sincerely,
Kevin

6. Next time you write him tell him

perhaps for their next kiss, he should plant his face where it really belongs... right up GW ass.

[Les BOOGIE]

5. He's a nutcase anyway............

to ever think he had a snowball's chance in hell to be president. Ugly/goofy looking guys like Phil Gramm, Newt Gingrich and Joe Lieberman will never be president. It may be wrong but it's a fact.

7. cute hug/kiss Joe and W

8. I'd love to get Joe out...

But, I would rather spend time & effort getting Jodi Rell, Rob Simmons and Nancy Johnson out of office. I don't think Lieberman would lose a primary to even John Larson.

I think the way to get Joe out is to draft him for governor in 2006. His views on foreign policy would not matter there. Though, that might mean Chris Shays or Nancy Johnson running for Senate against Dick Blumenthal, Rosa DeLauro or John Larson.

9. He wouldn't run for Governor

He can do more for Israel in the Senate, and that's where his first loyalties lie.

I've never liked the man; I've always felt he was a closet Republican, but he brings in a lot of money to Dem coffers.

He's not really like Zell Miller, other than being a DINO. Miller is a Dixiecrat. Lieberman is totally "Israel-First."

[HarrietBrown]

10. Amen. We may be stuck with Joe--but we should hold his feet to the fire

as much as we can. And getting Simmons out needs to be a big priority. He' be easier to oust than Johnson. Have you ever written to him? The stuff you get back is nutty. I asked where he stood on the whole Plame fiasco a long time ago. About 2 months later I got a huge package of articles printed off the internet and highlighted (all of which I'd found on my own long before) but no statement on what he thought about the whole thing. What a waste of money.

12. Joe

Not to be offensive to Jewish people but how can Joe( with his Jewish heritage) support a man with the paper trail of torture.
He voted for Gonzalez to be the Attorney General who has a huge backround of torture and right-wing destructive manner against America and prisoners.

Joe must GO in 06.

Get organized get fueled to kick his old ass out of the senate.

Lets beat him in the primaries.

13. $400,000 keeps others out of the race

It takes money to launch a campaign. DINO Joe's sitting on over $400K in his war chest. If you want to get a real Democrat to replace hom, then pledge your support to someone to run against him in the next primary.
