On "The Situation Room" today, we asked viewers the following questions, and here are some of our favorite responses that we didn't get to read on air:

Is Joe Lieberman making a mistake by staying in the Connecticut Senate race?

It seems to me it's the ole, "if I can't have her no one can." Her, being the nomination from his party. The guy has always been a weasel.
John, Redwood City, California

Running as an Independent, Senator Lieberman may be doing the best thing for his own self-interest, but his re-election will not be in the nation's best interest. The war in Iraq was not necessary and will be looked back upon as a strategic blunder which made us less safe. President Bush is ultimately responsible; but, he had his enablers and Sen. Lieberman is one of them.
Roy, Texas

Joe Lieberman is the only one telling the truth. We got into this mess (Iraq War), but we can't cut and run. Democrats thinking they can cut and run and that will stop the terrorists are living in lala land. Lieberman knows what is going on and needs to stay in office in order to fight the war, the Republicans, and the terrorists.

How much importance should be placed on the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina?

Civil War, Pearl Harbor, President Kennedy's assassination, 9-11, and Katrina are American wounds. Nations, as humans, grow more in pain than in joy. Say what you like about the U.S., but its defining trait is a resilient spirit
Dave, Vancouver

It seems that Hurricane Katrina only happened yesterday in that little seems to have been done. The mess is still there and people are homeless. What's going on with all those trailers? Where is all that money that was promised? It looks like a Third World area. Not even a basic cleanup seems to have been implemented.

About as much importance as is being placed on Hurricane Charley. Remember us in central Florida? We are still recovering from the three hurricanes, Charley, Frances and Jeanne, that criss-crossed us in 2004. Does anybody still care about that?
Mike, Wauchula, Florida

Why do some politicians insist on sticking their feet in their mouths?

Shame on you, Jack. What seems like politicians sticking their foot in their mouth is just a rare occasion of what they really believe slipping out, instead of the pretty messages they usually spout.
Bob, Williamsburg, Virginia

No reasonable human being would seek public office. Hoof-in-mouth is part of the general genetic disorder required to be a politician. This defective gene makes politicians think they are invincible and they can speak as they choose.
George, Roanoke, Virginia

Politicians' feet end up in their mouths because they are so focused on trying to deceive us with their scripts that eventually the unconscious part of their minds tries to slip us the truth.
Victoria, Bozeman, Montana

Let he who has never stuck his own foot into his own mouth ask that question, Jack. Why do politicians do it? Who hasn't!?!
Greg, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania
