Lieberman's Sucking Up To Mepublicans Costs Him His Delegate Status. Question:

[elehhhhna]

okay, long question:

Joe's devolved into a consistent advocate of the Bush Administration and their asinine, unpatriotic, dangerous "policies".

If I understand this correctly, Joe had the status to do some horse-trading at our upcoming Convention. Now this status has been revoked as a result of Joe's unprofessional (let's call it what it is) conduct.

Q: Do you think Dick Cheney's pi$$ed off about this? How much?

1. Joe is now a man without a party...or a conscience.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing...except for that it is for Joe. Because his lack of conviction for anything beyond defending Israel is appalling. He is an AMERICAN Senator, and his first order of business should be the best interest of AMERICA. He seems to have forgotten that. He's a total sell-out, and I won't be happy until they move his Senate office to the janitorial closet in the basement. Or kick his ass out (but like a nuclear cockroach, we can't seem to get rid of him).

2. Why was he a delegate at all?

What the heck is wrong with our 'party' that this bastard had any status to begin with?

4. I don't think anything is wrong here

I think the DNC went to Lieberman and I bet he realized, with all of his campaigning for McCain, he had no business being a part of the Dems nominating process. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if they were polite and he was gracious.
I may change my answer depending on how Brit Hume and Bill Kristol play this at 5pm.

6. Like his graciousness when he lost the dem primary? wow you are generous.

[endarkenment]

7. Hello? He bolted the party to violate the primary results.

That by itself, ignoring the McCain endorsement, should have eliminated him.

9. good point

I was being nice to the departed "guest." And yes, good riddance.

3. Look for him to switch to the Republican caucus soon.

Then the Senate reverts to Repub control. It won't matter for Joe, he'll have a cabinet post regardless of who wins the WH - he isn't planning on being in the Senate after this year...

5. It seems like he's begging to get kicked out of the Dem Caucus..

he's a smarmy bastard. I say let him go. And I'll personally take to the streets in protest if any Dem puts him in the cabinet.

8. The problem with the Senate (and to some degree, the House)

is that too many Democrats vote with the Republicans, but almost no Republicans vote with the Democrats. Seems to me that if you could get rid of the few Democrats that won't vote with the Republicans, you'd have Mr. Obama's unity, right there. That's one of the reasons Joe is in the catbird's seat - with either McCain or Obama he's sitting pretty...
