Joe Lieberman VS Al Franken Wolf Blitzer John McCain CNN

[alexmillertommie13]

Stole his seat in my own state

[caviper1]

20 years just talking and talking and talking and...

[ca34jun]

David Gergen advised Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Clinton= people who literally FUCKED the country, YET HE IS ON CNN FOR ADVICE. I mean um are you reading this right or am i confused.

[MagicKirin]

Who is Brazile kidding, Al Frank is a junior senator who stole his seat, Joe Lieberman is one the great Senators of the last 100 years.

Certantly the best that has come from New England

[WorldBFree2006]

@MagicKirin

Lieberman is a bitchass... He is the worst Senator on the Democratic side and a disgrace to New England where I am from.

[MagicKirin]

@WorldBFree2006

I am from New England too and he, Scott Brown and the two ME Senators are the only people who look beyond party

Franken stole his seat

[MagicKirin]

@MagicKirin

I'm from New England too and unlike Ted the Drunk, Chris Dodd the Countrywide stooge and Kerry the Gigilo, Lieberman looks at the issues.

A credit to this region

[MinGophers]

stfu mccain.

[88WalkDog]

If you go to the C-SPAN archives you can find video evidence of John McCain denying a Democratic senator a moment to finish his thoughts, just like Franken did. Or look through the archives of the Rachel Maddow show for the evidence. This is a non-issue. But good try McCain.

[mizzoulibertarian]

gergan mcain and lieberman are all criminals. bennet suck dick

[Totallydistortedfilm]

Al Franken FTW.

Lieberman & all his cohorts are rich, cowards who use their corp. influence to get their way. McCain & Lieberman are dinosaurs in the 'endangered crooks' category of senators who will soon either be exposed for the fraud & corruption they practice or keel over & burn in hell filled with guilt, hatred & lies, OR FINALLY do us all a favor and retire and stick their heads in the sand like BUSH & leave all the other competent ppl to clean up the mess they left behind.

[hcwcars1]

jew loving pigs

burn in hell

[unclelight]

Blitzer is a gay boy!

[teacherphysics]

salom joe liberman , may we have world peace soon

[abdool1972]

@magnavox50

You are just regurgitating a doctrine from a weak/lazy news source that doesn't provide CONTEXT for it's statements.

Yes, there are some waiting lists in the Canadian health care system for SOME specialist procedures and SOME elective surgeries. You imply that it's across the board which is not true.

If we get into an accident up here we don't have to re-mortgage our house to pay the bill.

[weepingboy]

You got to love Al Fraken. He's got guts. He's got big brass balls. He speaks his mind and he finally said what most Democrats wish they can say to Lieberman..."eat crap and go away". Finally, a liberal that speaks for us

[FromyColdeadHands]

@weepingboy

There is a difference between standing up for what you believe in and and doing what is right to other people, the Westboro baptist Church stands up for what they believe in?

And your rhetoric just shows how despicable the 2 party system is and how badly it has divided us. Shame on us judging a man for a I,R,or D next to their names. This is not true democracy. Just like Bush, Obama will be another failure, he is now a wartime president, some change.

[zakattak80]

really then he isn't open minded like liberals's meaning

[thecandidate0607]

If they were to switch places, do you not think that joe lieberman wouldnt have granted Al Franken a couple of minutes to make his point. Hes got guts but his guts are getting him in trouble. He almost demands that people acknowledge him. Hes gaining the reputation of being a bully in the senate and not in a good way several people republican and democrat have been subject to verbal assaults by him as well as humiliating senators and their aides. He imitated one with a speech impediment.

[mstaff657]

Arrogant ignorance is not the same as having guts !

Simpleton Franken is just that an Arrogant Ignorant human who was famous.

He is another Jesse Ventura.

Minnesota is famous for their gigantic mistakes !

[thecandidate0607]

I dont think hes an idiot hes just writing checks with his mouth that his ass cant cash. I agree with your minnesota thoughts though Jesse Ventura was a mammoth mistake. Apparently celebrity status goes further than credibility there.

[delipark]

@thecandidate0607 i'm not a ventura supporter, either, but as for minnesota's other politicians like walter mondale, hubert humphrey, orville freeman, norm coleman, paul wellstone, dave durenburger, bruce vento, these are people who have been on the national stage and widely acknowledged as credible politicians. current governor tim pawlenty -- i don't support him, but he may be running for president soon and may stand a decent chance.

[thecandidate0607]

Yeah well for every handful of decent politicians minnesota seems to elect 1 or 2 political shitstorms.

[doire7]

Why was jesse ventura a mistake?

[thecandidate0607]

What reaction are you trying to provoke exactly?

[doire7]

Not trying to provoke any action. I just want to know if you know what you're talking about. I'm not sure how he performed as governor but i like what he has to say on alot of issues.

[thecandidate0607]

Well, in my opinion, he wasnt very well suited for an executive political position such as governor. He lacked the charm or charisma needed to be able to express his opinions in a way that doesnt offend anyone. Doesnt mean he was wrong on most of those opinions just that he is a blunt instrument he says what he wants and doesnt care who it offends. This doesnt often bode well for someone looking for votes. Im not saying hes a bad guy he was just a disaster politically.

[doire7]

You can't give specifics of why he was a mistake or a "disaster politically," you just don't like him. Hardly a fair analysis.

[thecandidate0607]

Well for one thing he said, while governor, that the streets of st. paul were built by drunken irishmen. Though a funny statement, it is still offensive to not only irishmen but the actual people that built the streets. He used taxpayer funded security to run security for a book signing he had which some would say is unethical since he used taxpayer money for something that was his own personal monetary gain. Among many other incidents.

[doire7]

It took you a full day and this was all you could find. Hardly front page news. you seem to be the only one that finds this scandalous. I was waiting to here the minesota economy tanked or crime went through the roof, something news worthy. "Among many other incidents," just another soundbite.

[thecandidate0607]

It took me a full day because my computer at home is broken so all I have is a school computer that I use in between classes, rarely. So that post was constructed in less than 5 minutes as was this one. I can see from your favorites what kind of dog you have in this fight so spare me the conspiracy horse shit please.

[doire7]

"What kind of dog in this fight," who am i talking to here - mel gibson. Look you're a neo-con republican who says the first thing comes out of his mouth without thinking.

[thecandidate0607]

OK, I dont see why you are getting so hostile about this. And Mel Gibson didnt coin that phrase. So unless you have something constructive to add why dont you calm down. I know what sort of debate you are trying to initiate. Anyone can see from your favorites, which is loaded with 9-11 conspiracy videos. You think I am going to try to discredit him via the truther movement, which isnt something I am not going to do because he is entitled to his opinion. He was just horrible at politics.

[doire7]

Dude, i'm not getting hostile at all, very calm. I just like people to back up their claims and i also back (like jesse) the 9/11 truth movements calls for a new investigation.

[thecandidate0607]

Fair enough.

[doire7]

Peace my friend. I'm pretty sure our paths have crossed before.

[thecandidate0607]

Probably, I used to debate the 9-11 issue pretty heavily but lately find it too much to be squeezing between work, school and potty training my son.

[doire7]

Apart from our differences on ventura and 9/11, i'm sure you'll make a pretty good father. It's a pity more people in this world could'nt be more like you. Good luck.

[davidcole100]

the whole bunch of these crooks are assholes and traitors. our founding fathers would hang or shoot these guys in congress for treason. we are on the titanic and yet those in washington are already on the lifeboats and guess what? there are no more lifeboats or vests. we are fools america for believing anything they say. God bless america

[tubongmanila]

Lieberman got what he deserved. Stop running the clock and let's get healthcare reform.

[edunham100]

No health care thanks to the "devil" joe insurance lieberman.

[jmontenegro3]

Haha! Classic Bitch slap. Thats what you get when mess with a majority. Man that really made my day. Payback is a Bitch. Kudos to Franken.

[magnavox50]

Have you noticed you've received 6 thumbs down on your comments some majority you have there,

[jmontenegro3]

Well its now down to -3 just one shy of your poor preforming -2. i bet you are like most repblicans that can face the fact that you have a black man telling you how its gonna be. And cant face the fact that the majority is going to pass a landmark piece of legislation b4 xmas. Why dont you choke that for a while b4 posting wise ass comments like you just did.

[magnavox50]

I'm an independant so fuck replicans and Democrats unlike your liberal ass I can make my own decisions without havng to have the government hold my hand. oh yeah and now your negative comments are only down two. You must have contacted ACORN to help swing the vote your way with fake ballots and use of public aid funds for people who want to start child prostitution rings.

[magnavox50]

Get real the new healthcare bill is a sham. if Obama wanted to help people without insurance he would have had the dems jst make a bill that said America will pay for the poor but instead he takes kickbacks from insurance companies to force poor people to buy insurance they can't afford in the first place. Is this the "change" he was taking about or is this the "yes we can" part of his campaign shining through?

[jchittwood]

The most embarrasing thing Minnesota has ever experienced. Thank you ACORN nuts for this clown.

[ArtisanTony]

Franken is a noob and he will be struck down by the senator gods :)

[aggies436]

AL Franken I hope you burn in hell you piece of shit!

[amannswang]

you're a moron. they cut out the rest of the clip. what franken did happens all the time.

[ArtisanTony]

Franken is an absolute idiot and I dont see him winning another term acting like an ass

[mummyange]

@ArtisanTony oh yes he will and for this reason for sure!

[isisbenny404]

Franken can kiss my ass!

[TruthJunior]

lol@john mccain "i've never seen this in 20 years"

it happened the previous day

[ReligiousMary]

OMG! Did you americants really vote in stuart smalley?

No wonder your country is going to complete and utter shit lol! Ventura, Schwarzthenigger, Franken... Who's next? Oprah?

America, Going to Hell Yeah!

[stillrob420]

FASCISM

[borntobewilder9]

Fuck you Franken, you ACORN fucker!!!!!

Liberal Minnesota deserves him!

[amannswang]

you're a moron

[borntobewilder9]

Nice come back, fag!

[mummyange]

@borntobewilder9 fuck Lieberman and you born...head!

[52barney]

If McCain had the average American's

medical coverage he'd have died 10 years

ago from skin cancer!

[ClassicFIHD]

How's that? I know two average Americans with the same skin cancer for many many years and they are still alive.

[kreddins]

obviously an ill informed comment made with bias and from someone who assumes but does not know.

[saint4God]

Why is everyone in such a hurry now? No one has done anything on this issue in decades. Give the man a minute...just like we gave the president a few months to mull over the Afghanistan strategy.

[ourflagwasstillthere]

brewbaker66 - this is why they all need to go. No one - Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian, etc. - benefits from this bullshit. They have all made very lucrative careers out of trying to make us think we are too stupid to understand. They are finding out now we are not stupid, we've just been asleep.

[brewbaker66]

I'm a little confused. The dems are trying to get Liberman on board with this healthcare bill, why would Franken tick him off? I think that would be common sense. Is it a rule, you check your common sense at the front door of the Capital? The liberals will give him 100's of millions in earmarks to buy his vote, then throw it away by not letting him speak for 1-2 minutes? Maybe I am just to stupid to understand.

[deadpool03mm]

because they don't need Liberman

[howdythere34]

You pundits are also idiots....especially you Donna you know them both and Al didn't mean anything by it personally..did you see his face when he said it...a total jab...dont be a low class you know what...and pull your head out

[ourflagwasstillthere]

Howdythere34 - Couldn't agree with you more! Listen to Gloria Borger parrot the lines fed to her by Harry Reid. It's pathetic. It is obvious Al Franken broke a long-standing Senatorial courtesy for his own political slap to Lieberman. He was never funny as a comedian and being a Senator would probably be his funniest act ever if the stakes weren't so high.

[howdythere34]

Al Franken is a low class idiot....he's a complete fuck up and was a shitty comedian....he's the kinda dude you love seeing get his fucking ass kicked all over the place.....would bring great joy to me to see Al fall on his face...he's worthless

[Woocam]

Apparently Norm Coleman is even a lower class idiot, otherwise he would still be a Senator. Franken was following rules, which were to limit speeches to 10 min. Send a letter to Senator Reid, if it pisses you off. Remember in the 90's when SNL was funny? Franken was writing for them at that time. Granted his movies were awful, but as a writer he's a great comedian. It's ok. Soon people will forget about Bush's failures and Republicans will bounce back and you can stop crying.

[jchittwood]

Norm didn't have ACORN, liberal precinct judges, liberal judges and Mark Ritchie on his side. Fat Al, the esteemed Senator representing his liberal/socialist constituents from New York and California, will be run out of office and deported.

[SpiagiaVita]

Shut up howdydoody!

Al Franken represents Americans just as well as anybody in this country. I loved the look on the face of Lieberman the Traitor. That moment was priceless.

[jchittwood]

SpiagiaVita, you are right, he is a Traitor just like the other 59 elitist clowns that are going to vote for this garbage. Between this and cap and tax, unemployment with exceed 30%. Thanks for all that Hope and Change, comrade.

[SpiagiaVita]

@jchittwood

Oh, is that why Germany, Sweden and Norway are in a financial crisis? Not!

How can national health plan increase unemployment rate? Listen. You sound like yet another sneaky guy selling insurance. So, don't even bother. Okay?

[w1ngzer0]

We also don't have endless spending in those countries either.

[magnavox50]

Ask Canadians and the English how well public health care is working for them. Six month waiting lists unbelievable Bureaucracy. Yeah sound like a great system.

[SpiagiaVita]

Why? Are you getting laid off at your insurance company? Sorry, but it's too late now. It's passed. So, you can cry somewhere else. LOL!

[edunham100]

Thank God someone told these traitors to shut up. They all are taking insurance money and we are dying.

[jchittwood]

Yeah, the Bamster took 1.4 million, well exceeding every other senator.
