Is this the watershed moment?

The defeat of long time senator Joe Lieberman?

As an outsider, looking in--I think it is. I sure hope so. If I could dream - Lieberman would be soundly trounced. A landslide for Lamont.

Because Lieberman has become a symbol of everything that is wrong with modern day politics within America. It is about the Iraq war--but it is also so much more than that. If I was an American, my defining moment that Lieberman had to go, was when he stated that to critisize the president puts the nation at peril during a time of war. Those may not be the exact words - but the jist is the same. The nation never should of gone to war in the first place.....especially, most especially given the extremely shaky evidence they whored and inflated beyond all reason. So - we all know the war was waged on false pretenses, but we are just supposed to shut up and suck it up, because to dissent would somehow help terrorists. How stupid does he think you all are???? Incapable of thinking for yourselves???

Take your country back. One seat at a time. Show the world the strength of a democratic nation. There are consequences Joe. Voting for the war was one strike against you. But to attempt to quell any dissent of the president and its policies, given the facts and reality we know.....undermines the very foundations of a democracy. Time to go Joe. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

2. Agree, when Lieberman made his statement regarding

following/standing by a president, no matter, during a time of war was an obvious admission that he agreed with the war even tho the evidence was a lie. Lieberman is bought and paid for by the corps in my opinion. Those are the ones that need to go.

3. Yes It Is! Democrats Are Saying "Be A Democrat, Not A Puppet"

We are looking for Democrats to represent the democratic principles of their constitutents. Joe has not. He has represented George Bush's constitutents. So he has to go.

5. Response

Take your country back. One seat at a time.

I agree with the sentiment, I just wish we would start with people that vote against us 100% of the time instead of those that vote with us 90% of the time.

8. When Joementum threatened to go Indy...

... that was the day he lost my family's vote.

My dad, a union guy from way back, who voted for Gore-Lieberman said he would NEVER vote for Joe again after that 'slap in the face'. My brothers feel the same, as do I.

Time to go, Joe!
