Nothing to be surprised about here. We have a bought and paid for Congress, not all, but many. Dennis Kucinich is fighting against this in a thread I started earlier. Our reps are being bribed and we have people supporting the ones bribing them. Lieberman's wife is a lobbyist...what is wrong with that picture?

I hope people start to wake up that our best interests aren't in play in Washington. We are only pawns in their game.

Lieberman isn't even a D so I dunno how he's supposed to be a DINO.

In the Senate he is "identified as an Independent Democrat (ID-CT)".

He also has the lowest in-state approval rating at 38% for any sitting Senator.

"This is the highest disapproval rating in any Quinnipiac University poll in any state for a sitting U.S. senator–except for New Jersey's Robert Torricelli, just before he resigned in 2002," said Quinnipiac University Poll Director Douglas Schwartz.

I wish for once he would be honest and go completely over to the GOP where he belongs. They can keep him. I see no advantage to the Dems for allowing him to caucus with them and especially not to maintain any chairmanships.

He will never win another election in Connecticut and he knows it.

Poll: Lieberman Would Lose 2012 Re-Election In Landslide

If Joe Lieberman decides to run for a fifth term in 2012, a new Quinnipiac poll suggests that it may be a lost cause.

The new poll tests Lieberman as an independent against Democratic Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. The numbers: Blumenthal 58%, Lieberman 30%. Yikes.

Lieberman's active campaigning against the Democratic Party last year hasn't won him too many friends back home. Democrats go for Blumenthal by 83%-9%, and independents are for Blumenthal 55%-29%. Lieberman is the de facto Republican nominee in this match, and with GOP voters he scores 67%-23% over Blumenthal.

Wow, Lieberman and Bayh have the guts to vote according to what the people who they represent want and that is NO WAY TO THIS HC BILL.

Finally some dems who are listening to their BOSSES, the people.

You might see even more dems do this in time as they know they wont have a job if they vote for this. The majority DO NOT want this bill to pass and if they vote to pass it those dems will be goners come election day.

The Dems allowed him chairmanships because they have no balls. He had to circumvent his own party in order to get elected in the first place since he got railed in the primary by a Dem.

Did you not read the previous post which provided a link? Lieberman is going to lose as he is not speaking for his constituency. Don't you understand what a representative is supposed to do? The root word of representative is "represent". Understand now?
