Hillary on Lieberman in 2006: "pleased to support him" and "and hope that he is our party's nominee"

[usregimechange]

"I've known Joe Lieberman for more than 30 years. I have been pleased to support him in his campaign for reelection, and hope that he is our party's nominee," the former first lady said in a statement issued by aides.

2. didn't he lose the nomination

but then ran independent and won his seat back....and now the party has to kiss his ass
because he can throw the senate back to the repubs.....yeah damn her.....you know what we should throw her out of the party as well......i think obama will probly win the nomination.....i want to see how the true believers handle it when he starts sliding to the right in the general....and should he win that....let's see how long it takes the purity vote to turn on him when he doesn't have any more success than reid and pelosi at stopping the war...delivering a health care plan and stopping the oil industry from drilling producing and selling oil products

3. didn't Obama support him as well?

11. Obama backed Lamont after he won the Democratic nomination over

Lieberman. Until the Democratic Primary, Obama backed Lieberman, just like Clinton did along with many other Democrats!

Also, Sen. Obama waited until just two weeks before the election to officially endorse Lamont.

12. At least Obama didn't say the CT election was "win-win" like Bill Clinton did.

[Mass]

4. Do not do the same thing that was done for Obama. Please.

[usregimechange]

10. That was the point

[MonkeyFunk]

5. What's the point

of all this bullshit back and forth on this?

Both Obama and Clinton supported Lieberman in the primary. Both Obama and Clinton supported Lamont in the general.

God, people are so fucking childish.

[Cha]

7. Yeah, she's always "pleased" about

one fucking thing or another.

[Megahurtz]

9. Barf!

[Carolina]

13. so Hillary

wrong on the war, on the Patriot Act, on the bankruptcy bill, on habeus corpus
wrong judge of people (trusted Bush with awesome power, and supported brown-noser Lieberman)

Hillary: wrong every time

[Unbowed]

14. Ugh.

Bad choice.

I didn't remember that.
