Do NOT REWARD Lieberman. Contact your senators
and tell them you want Lieberman stripped of chairmanships. He should basically be sent into the wilderness. If he wants to throw a fit and caucus with GOP, great. What are they going to offer him? Chief of the cloakroom?

1. If we want to entertain the prospect of 60 seats, we need to entertain him
and be a lot nicer than we are being. Taking away his chairmanship though, is not a good start, and could be getting rid of the person who could give us the 60th seat if things go well in Georgia and Alaska in the end.

2. Georgia, Alaska, AND Minnesota?
could happen. And that could be why Reid is being coy about how this exactly plays out. Because I do think it is all about that.

3. 60 Is A Meaningless Number
And counting on LIEberman to support us at all anymore is equally meaningless.

5. I think we can plan on this guy watching out for him self first.
Let his voters take care of him, if they will. I think he is just the type we need to get out of Congress. Their egos are just to large. His voters put him their and they can take him out. Now Stevens is just a crook and Congress should put him out if his voters will not. Out of about 500 people your going to get some odd ones and we do seem to have got a real odd group right now in Congress.

6. I CANNOT believe those dumb fucks in AK voted for Palin and now...
a convicted felon. Wow. I haven't been to Alaska yet and it may be a while still. Sounds like a 3rd world country.

4. Right. LIeberman is going to vote however his muddled thinking tells him to
vote anyway. So, he will vote some amalgalm of his self-interest in getting re-elected and his conscience, no matter who he caucuses with. And, if he goes too far to the right, Connecticut may not re-elect him. So, it's win, win.

He's a DINO (and you know what happened to those klutzes!).
