There should be congressional term limits anyway. Most of these longtime politicians get too comfortable, and just vote the party line time after time, they do little for the interests of their constituents.

I think this just proved we don't need limits. People didn't like who was representing them, so they voted them out.

Lieberman lost the primary but vows to run as an independent, and split from his own party, the arrogance of this guy amazes me as "I can't be touched...........I'm Joe Lieberman." His speech last night seemed more like a victory speech............Joe, you lost............now go away.........please..............and give George Bush another kiss as the door slams you in the backside.............

McKinney may have been one of the most ignorant members of Congress. It would be interesting to see her iq test. As far as old Joe L. - he will most likely win the general election and become the dem version of McCain.

For a variety of reasons, but mainly because of his vocal support for most things "Bush", which put him at odds with the grassroots of the Democratic Party. Hey maybe Lieberman could join the Republicans? They're gonna need some warm bodies come this November.

Madam Cynthia-
Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!!!!
Mr. Lieberman-
Don't pack your bags, you're not going anywhere, and I'll be at your victory party in November. Thanks for being an honest and HONORABLE person-you're kind is extremely rare in congress these days. (On EITHER side of the isle).
And yes-term limits is BADLY needed.
Case in point-the people's republic of Tax-a-chusetts.

Couldn't agree with you more. Good riddance to lil' Cindy, and a tip of my hat to Mr. Lieberman.
As a right-wing nutjob

, I don't agree with Mr. Lieberman on a lot of issues. BUT... he seems to be a decent, courageous, honorable, principled man who won't pander just to get votes. I'm glad he'll be returning to the Senate after winning re-election in November.

I'm not only proud to be a right wing nut job, but also proud that I'll be contributing to Mr. Lieberman's re-election campaign.
I'm sure the bearded men with hypenated last names boarding airplanes with incindiary bombing devices would like to see Mr. Lieberman gone.
and if THAT statement "offends" anybody enough to go crying to the moderators again-tough sh*t
