We might not be able to get Lieberman out of the senate
But we should at least get him out of our party so we no longer have to claim the little turd as one of our own anymore.

2. I totally agree.
We won't lose the Senate and Joe already caucuses with the pubicons. What are we going to lose?
NOTHING. Put a real Democrat in his committee spot. He is wasted space.

15. Jeez! Can I ask a question?
Snapping people's heads off is not a great way to make people feel welcome.

11. And was out of the party in 06 when several Democratic politicians supported him over an actual
Democrat in Lamont.

A tragic failure and abandonment of the primary process by people supposedly on OUR side.

It still makes me sick.

9. He's an Independent. He SAYS he caucuses with Dems...which means NOTHING when he votes with the
repukes on every issue. He's useless. Just pretend he's not there and maybe CT. will be able to kick his ass to the curb in 2012....UUUUGH! 5+ more years of him! Maybe when we win BIG in '08, we can kick his ass over to the repukes. I CERTAINLY think his committee chair should be taken away when we win. He has no right to it. He's an Independent....not a Democrat.

10. Pick up at least 2 senate seats in 2008, then he can be kicked to the curb
He would no longer have the Sword of Damocles that he could wave to threaten Senate Democrats anymore if Democrats had some breathing space in their Senate majority. Then he could be stripped of his committee chairmanship, and invited to join the Republic Party. And you know what? He probably wouldn't, because he's want to stay in the majority party.
