Contributions from associates and friends of now-indicted garbage executive James Galante to the 2004 presidential campaign of U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman have sparked the interest of federal investigators.

Lieberman's bid for the White House took in at least $14,000 from Galante, his associates and their relatives in the fall of 2003, according to a Courant review of campaign records.

For all those Repubs that rejoice in the Senator Joe Lieberman's 2004 presidential campaign's possible illegal campaign fundraising, what's the big deal? The Demo voters of his state of Connecticut in 2006 primary, voted for Joe's competitor, and won. Big time sorrow loser Joe decided to register Independent for the General election of 2004, and with the help of over 50% of the Republican vote, defeated Joe's Demo candidate and retained his US Senate seat. In this way, he was able to vote with the Bush/Cheney neo-conservatives in Congress for the continuation of this most corrupt war in American history, the war in Iraq!

Those illegal campaign donations are a direct result of the right-wing Republican lobbyist food-chain of political money to their favorite politicians in power.

Hey, don't blame me, I voted against Slow Joe twice, in the primary and in the general election. I blame Hillary and the other Dems who dragged their feet in supporting Ned Lamont - which is one of many reasons why Hillary will never get my vote. Incidentally, back in 2000, when Slow was running for Veep, there was an AP photo of him standing at a podium, his body blocking the letters "BER", that appeared on the front page of my local paper, i.e., LIE MAN. Anyone else see it? I would have saved that picture if I had known then what I know now...

Joe Lieberman was the Democrats Vice Presidential Choice for 2000. Thanks for admitting we cannot trust Demo Choices.

The problem with Joe is that he acts like a Neo Conservative.

Give fair and equal time then, to the Republican choices we cannot trust as well. If you cannot find fault with what the Right is doing, then it puts a shadow of doubt over your opinions elsewhere.

He was Al Gore's and probably his advisors choice and it was a bad one. I don't remember getting to choose the running mate. Joe was not nearly as compromised in the minds of most dems at the time and you know it I think.

We can hope this 'Garbageman" is only Mafia, not Halliburton.

This 'Garbageman' is no joke. Having grown up and returned to the Bethel-Danbury, Connecticut, area, this owner of a garbage disposal service and hockey team (The Trashers), has been alleged to have not only threatened other garbage carriers, but resaurants, bars, and other nightspots. In one case, he allegedly had my favorite nightclub, The Dial Tone, burned down, and in another, tried to truck bomb (yes!) a resaurant, which was foiled by the concrete posts outside the building. The daughter of one of his 'employees', disappeared years ago, and has never been found; Galante may have had nothing to do with that, but it's certainly a possibility, if she was seen as a danger to his operation.

Geez! He's a politician! Why would we be surprised that ANY politician takes dirty money? They all do. The name of the game is money and power and there's not one pol that won't play that game, no matter what they have to do.

HAHAHAHA this is Hilarious. What hypocrites you Liberals are with all you're indignation (false) about "dirty money". Hillary and Slick Willy make Lieberman look like a boy scout and you worship them. Matter of fact you will vote for Hillary in droves.

If there was ever a case of having filtered vision this is it.Or more likely "Relative Moralism"

The Clintons are not liberals.
The way that organized crime has taken over government is no doubt the reason Democrats appear 'spineless,' since polls suggest that if they ended the Occupation this minute their public approval ratings would soar. They are profiting from this war, just like the Republican politicians are.
Racketeering has become business as usual: Lieberman is just an especially glaring example of the problem.

Whose baby does Lieberman have to eat to lose the support of the Democorporate party leaders? He was elected by Connecticut Republicans, to do Republican, neo-con things. Sleazy corporate "centrists" like Rahm Emmanuel did not even support the Connecticut Democratic party's choice of Ned Lamont. Lieberman feeds into these centrist's sick needs to never really win. To get to the 50/50 mark and hold there. Just like Gore and Kerry pulled in 2000 and 2004. Can you say 50/50 Hillary?

Emanuel and Lieberman are centrists in name only (CINO's).
There is no 'center' that they represent. How many Democrats support Bush's foreign policy, and believe that the Department of Homeland Security deserved a pass on its performance during Katrina and after?
The 'center' of the GOP.

This post had me going until I realized it doesn't mean squat.

I want to hear when someone finds some quid pro quo by Lieberman for his buddies at AIPAC that makes him an Israeli agent. And then I'd like to see this traitor in an orange jumpsuit accessorized with shackels.

The Mob doesn't part with ANY money unless they are getting something in return.

What services are you providing to the Genovese crime family, Joe?!

I KNEW IT!

For this LoserJerkMan to be defeated in a primary, and then to run and win as an insurgent, he had to be corrupt.

Maybe Sorry Joe can share a cell with one of his buddies like Duke Cunningham or Jack Abramoff.
