Constituents confront Lieberman over Iraq.

“During an interview with the media a student interrupted to shout ‘No more Troops! Bring them home!’ to which Lieberman replied: ‘I got the message.’ … When asked if he understood a majority of the public didn’t support the troop increase Lieberman responded by saying, ‘Iraq is a bit more complicated.‘ … [Another student] said during his campaign Lieberman promised to bring the troops home as soon as possible and now he supports a plan to increase troop levels. ‘It doesn’t make sense,’” the student said.

    Can Connecticut recall Joltin’ Joe?


  2. CONservative says:

    Well at least LIEberman didn’t suggest the students were emboldening the terrorists…or did he and it’s just not being reported?

    Dear students,
    Learn remember and best of luck explaining it to future students a pessimist is just an optimist with experience.

    Joe probably wanted to have all the students arrested. ‘Complicated’ eh. Sort of like running for vice president? like running as a independent? Like getting people killed?

    I hope Joe runs for President again. Then I can campaign against him.

    Me neither. Sadly I have John ‘Straight Talk Express My @$$’ McCain and Jon ‘Rubber-Stamp’ Kyl.

    Just got home and done with the Bear walk…..Said lie-berman out loud and Bear growled…..He speak’s for us both…..GRrrrrrrr. Keep running Joe, when you run out of fund’s Israel will welcome you home, we don’t want you sorry ass..Blessings to every one else…


  11. Jason Baddo says:

    ‘Iraq is a bit more complicated.‘ WTF..
    The “insurgents” in Iraq who are really freedom fighters attempting to rid themselves of a foreign invader should form an armada. When the armada reaches America the freedom fighters should begin raping American women starting in Bayonne, NJ and working their way across to MN, specifically to Rep. Michelle Bachmann’s office.

    Retribution is sweet sez they guy in Baghdad……


  12. Marie says:

    Yeah, Iraq is more complicated, Joe – because we shouldn’t be there at all! We are there and it has been complicated it because we have done such a lousy job in the occupation.
    Joe, you friggin’ POS, you lied to your constituents to get reelected, and now you are like a mythological figure, dancing in the forest, clapping your hands with glee, because you have wrangled yourslef some power by threatening either party with your disfavor. Enjoy it while it lasts, Joe, because when you fall you are going to fall hard, and if you get kicked on the way down, you asked for it.


  13. Raymond Funamoto says:

    I think it’s time to get a RECALL PETITION to pull LIE-berman out of congress and flush him down the crapper with his fellow repugnant-repub turds!
    Joe, Joe
    You lying schmo
    Get a rope around his neck
    The useless piece of dreck
    AND AWAY HE GO!!!!!


  14. Gregor Samsa says:

    ‘Iraq is a bit more complicated.’

    This is more of the same “trust me” condescending attitude that the Bush administration and their supporters have been treating us with since the invasion of Iraq.

    As if we had any reason left to trust their judgement on Iraq -or anything else.

    Speaking of warmongers–do I have it right–is Peter Beinart out of a job?

  16. Snowball says:

    “I got the message.” Left unsaid, as is Joe’s style, is that he’s ignoring it.

    Great link, thanks.

    I love this part: Lieberman CT-Traitor

    Heh.


  19. George says:

    Joe must go.

    What are you waiting for, Joe?

    Go, already. Little Lord Georgie is waiting!


  20. big papa says:

    “I LIED…so sue me!”

    hahahahahahahaha!!!!

  21. JPark says:

    Me neither. Sadly I have John ‘Straight Talk Express My @$$’ McCain and Jon ‘Rubber-Stamp’ Kyl.

    Ouch, that would be painful. I have Herb Kohl (yes, he is a corporatist but he usually votes the right way) and the best Senator since the death of Paul Wellstone…Russ Feingold.


  22. JPark says:

    Ok, guess TP is starting to delete posts with vulgarity. As I was saying…I would ask the same thing of Connecticutans (ites?). Are you flipping stupid???


  23. Chris says:

    JPark,

    I am green with envy. I would vote for Russ Feingold for president. Sadly, I have Orrin Hatch, and even worse, my Representative is Chris Cannon.


  24. JPark says:

    #25 I feel for you Chris. Fortunately my Rep. is Tammy Baldwin, fabulous lesbian that she is!! I am lucky to live close to Madison.


  25. Jay Randal says:

    Traitor Joe Lieberman is a Trojan Horse GOP agent. He has not been a Democrat since 2000 when he decided to cross over to the Dark Side of the Force.


  26. JPark says:

    #27 Wanna bet that he will give the keynote at the ‘08 Rethuglican convention (ala Zell Miller)?


  27. VerbalKint says:

    ‘It doesn’t make sense,’” the student said.

    Yeah it does. Joe is a sleazy liar and he lied to get reelected. That is how Joe does things.


  28. old hippie woman says:

    Yeah.. me too.. Time for an Arizona revolution?????


  29. old hippie woman says:

    oops.. number 29 is for number 10.


  30. JPV says:

    Clueless Joe. Who does this fool represent anyway ??

    Comment by Jason Baddo

    Why, the interests of Israel of course. Apparently the only country that he really seems to be loyal to.


  31. Raindrops says:

    I’d love to know who in 2000 pushed to have Lieberman be the vice-presidential candidate. I bet it was a republican mole.


  32. yowzer says:

    Nutmeggers need to get going recall LIEberman campaign. They owe to us, the owe to themselves. Who’s in?
    .


  33. DutchHenry says:

    I am mystified that voters in CT allowed themselves to be duped by worthless Lieberman.In addition, those that voted for another CT crook,Chris Shays boggles the mind.
    Quite clearly CT voters are naive to the utmost.
