Ned Lamont's latest campaign ad once again features a young Joe Lieberman debating incumbent Lowell Weicker, a three-term Republican, back in 1988.

Lieberman says: "After 18 years, it's time for somebody new, it's time for a change." He also pledges to quit after three terms himself. Watch the ad, right.

Lieberman, who's running as a independent, and whose current lead relies on Republican votes, has said in the past that he'd caucus with the Democrats. At this point, according to Greg Sargent, he refuses to advocate for a Democratic victory:

Lieberman... was asked in an interview published today in the Hartford Courant whether America would be better off if his lifelong party took back the House. The Courant reports that Lieberman responded: "Uh, I haven't thought about that enough to give an answer."

Joe MUST GO! [Report this comment] Posted by: Grouchoman on Oct 16, 2006 8:35 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Make a new lawn sign based on Joe's "Go with Joe" sign.... Joe MUST Go! [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] Politicians Must Go! [Report this comment] Posted by: BobbyGreyFriar on Oct 17, 2006 2:10 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] The whole thing (re: the parties) is meaningless...Why should anyone have the right to dictate how we should live? Incedently, politicians never ask such obvious questions of the public such as, What concerns you? And they never try to explain things to us. But even if they did, that would not excuse them. They are all sime-bags and criminals...I can't believe our collective self-respect is as low as it appears; that we'll just say, "That's how it is." Slavery and Nazi's are also "just how it is"; so is immence courage and sacrifice -- I should remind everyone people who will suffer and die for what they believe are also, "Just how it is." My message to politicians (and a question) is this: I didn't ask for any of you and I don't want any of you. I want to be able to make important desicions, desicions that effect my life (e.g. education, healthcare, "defense" etc) for myself! Will you let me do that?

This guy's really good. [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] » RE: why I support joe lieberman Posted by: Ellie1
