Lieberman Sucking Up to Connecticut now
WASHINGTON - Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman, ID-Conn., Wednesday announced that Connecticut will receive more than $25 million in federal homeland security grants in Fiscal Year 2009 - $1 million more than the state received in Fiscal Year 2008.

"I am pleased the Department of Homeland Security recognizes the risks that Connecticut faces from disasters and terrorist attacks with its long coastline, a nuclear plant, large oil reserves, and close proximity to New York City," Lieberman said. "These grants are essential to keeping Connecticut safe from and prepared for everyday disasters as well as catastrophic events."

Looks like the Lieber-Rat is trying to convince CT that he is needed in Washington since he is bringing us so much money to help us fight terrorism. I hate him and I want him out!! :mad:

2. So suddenly he's Connecticut's senator again?
Does Israel know about this?

6. Yes, he abandoned us to run around with McCain and definitely has put Israel above us.

He needs to go. Too bad that we do not have a recall option in the CT constitution. Ned Lamont was much better but LieberRat played the independents like a violin. :mad:

7. Obama won CT 60/40
Leiberman only won with 49% in 2006, I would imagine his numbers have gone down considerably since.

8. He refuses to do any oversight on Homeland Security Contracts
handed out by the Bush administration so its no surprise he gloats on the pork he got.

He said Waxman should handle it.

9. When he runs again, all his Dem. opponent is going to have to do is
run the video of him trashing Obama and he'll be finished.

I will celebrate. He is a traitor.
