Lieberman: What? You Guys Won? I Didn't Mean All Those Things! Really!!
By Nicole Belle Wednesday Nov 05, 2008 7:15pm
Isn't this so cute? (via email)
Senator Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) today issued the following statement on the election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States:
"I sincerely congratulate President-elect Obama for his historic and impressive victory. America remains a nation of extraordinary opportunity and the American people are a people of extraordinary fairness. Now that the election is over, it is time to put partisan considerations aside and come together as a nation to solve the difficult challenges we face and make our blessed land stronger and safer. I pledge to work with President-elect Obama and his incoming Administration in their efforts to reinvigorate our economy and keep our nation secure and free."
While I'm trying to get into the spirit of Obama's hope for a post-partisan presidency, can I be allowed this one small, deeply partisan moment and demand the Senate leadership kick this sorry ass out of the Democratic caucus once and for all?
Lieberman is supposed to meet with Harry Reid later this week. Once upon a time, Reid was insisting that Lieberman was "with us on everything but the war." Of course, that was before he said he feared "America will not survive" if Democrats won 60 seats and before he said Obama "has not always put America first" and said he was "not ready to lead."
Lieberman may once have been "an important vote for our caucus," as Reid said in defending Holy Joe this summer. But he's irrelevant now, and deserves the fate he has earned.

If they had 60 with Joe, then he would be needed.
Otherwise toss him under the bus.
EXACTLY!!!!
that would be giving him too much power -- he'd be sure to vote Republican interests when he was most needed to prevent a fillibuster. Having him caucus with the Democrats makes as much sense as having John McCain caucus with Dems. Since he's such a suck-up to McCain, what's the difference?
And I'm totally contemptuous of his statement: "Now that the election is over, it is time to put partisan considerations aside..."
I didn't hear him say, "Now that the election is over, it is time to put MY support of the Republican agenda aside..."
Obama may wish his administration to move forward in a bi-partisan manner, and I've no doubt he will be able to do that since it's only two years until the next election (and many Americans and Congress are now cognizant of citizen power to affect who gets elected), but the Democrats as a body don't need to clasp an asp to their bosoms! Let Lieberman go caucus with his fellowship of losers and suffer the consequences of his betrayals.
They wouldn't have 60 with Joe. He's got it in for the Democratic Party, and he doesn't care who knows it. He's probably self-serving enough to go along with them from time to time, but he'll never be a Democrat again. He can't be counted on, so we may as well be rid of him.
no, toss this cocksucker under a steamroller then take a shit on his face
"can I be allowed this one small, deeply partisan moment and demand the Senate leadership kick this sorry ass out of the Democratic caucus once and for all?"
Definitely! Sent his sorry ass to rot with Palin and Joe the plumber.
Toss him out...please!
This guy was denied the VP nomination from the R's only because of the radical right. Who is he anyways? Certainly not someone that can be trusted by the Dems. Move him out.
I'll second third and forth that.
for on that day, holy joe will be stripped of her chairmanships...his office...and all trappings of office, and will be buried deep in the senate basement
goodbye joe
joe the senator is now as worthless as joe the faux plumber

Can you beleive this idiot was on the Gore ticket? Jesus. Strip him of everything! Bye Joe! Go crawl under a rock.
Throw the fuckin' bum out!!
OK, I don't mean that literally. But I do want to see this cockroach squashed in other ways. I'm in CT and voted for this LIEberman in 1994 and 2000. Given what he did to us in 2006, and more despicably this election cycle, my skin crawls at the thought that I was ever duped into voting for this dirty rotten turncoat.
Senate leader Reid: we in CT (not to mention elsewhere) want retribution!!!
It's never too late to tar and feather a traitor.
Let the Republicans caucus with Joe. They could use the help.
Benedict Arnold, also from CT, at least had the decency to move to England.
No need for Reid to negotiate. Change the locks and leave Holy Joe's shit piled up by the curb. He'll get idea.
there's no recall provision for federal offices in CT or Joe would be applying to be a "Democratic" pundit on Fox News. He should be punted fair and wide into the arms of his Republican friends. We don't need him. Bipartisanship doesn't mean taking shit from the other party and Joe is a Republican - and full of shit.
O! Your jagged lips again are upon my throat. Made rough by their drought
Hiding behind the broker of death.
There upon them is certain madness puckered and prepared to kiss,
To wet their looming course with deceit and blood.
Are these bone-dry lips not pursed upon my willful sightlessness,
Yet succulent in their own lusty course?
Your parched and loveless words lick the heels of a world’s sorrow
And I'll not soothe them with the balm of innocents.
I will not gaze upon their countenance or even touch them
To arouse their hunger or give them any weight.
They’ve not extended any love to me
or the world.
They can only teach the craving for it...
They cannot teach its need.
That is all.
and I know it.
Great stuff.
It brings to mind vampires!
Oh, FUCK YOU JOE. Unbelievable.
I see him being kept because as I read somewhere, "His vote will be needed on the D side of the isle."
I would like to see him tossed out on his traitorous ass.
Joe?Don't let the door knob hit you in the ass on your way out.
He's still an important vote. Democrats don't generally vote as a herd, so they won't always get 55 votes on everything.
But screw it. You don't stay friends with a murderer just because he buys you lunch every day. His vote is not worth the price.
You know damn well if he was the 60th vote, he'd turn Republican.
What's the point of being in a party if you don't agree with any of their policies and you don't even support their presidential candidate?
Besides, his middle name is "Isadore."
LOL! Lame.
Is that pronounced, Is a whore?
Lieberman was Plan B
Joe you are now able to go serve the country that you really love the most.. You can take Hadassa with you
LIEberman should be ashamed to show his face. Anywhere.
Albatross
of my neighbor's dog. Always humping somebody's leg. Doesn't matter whose. Damned thing should be kicked in the balls a few times.
ROFLMAO! Thanks.
Good thing I wasn't drinking my coffee, or I would have spit it all over my keyboard.
comes to mind, doesn't it.
come on joe!we saw you munching on mccains prostate gland , and you loved it! dont let the concrete skin your ass when you get kicked to the curb!
Joe is a shell of the POS he used to be!
This will be Reid's test. Lierberman must put out at the first opportunity. The Democrats (and Obama) will take a small hit and be called hypocrites by the talking heads concerning a lack of bipartisanship. But failing to do so would only give Lieberman a platform to hoodwink the citizens of his state again, maybe get reelected, and possibly pull the same kind of stunt four years from now.
There's a certain amount of plausible deniability in saying that "bi-partisan" means 2 parties getting along. Since Joe is an "independent" we just don't need his 3rd party in our bi-partisan cooperation doings going forward.
I agree, this is as much a test of Reid - and Obama - for seeing if the neocons are going to walk off scott-free. I'm sorry to be so unevolved but c'mon guys, you gotta throw us this bone at least. Lieberman should be history.
you mean Harry "Stern Letter" Reid? Good luck.
If Reid has his way I'm sure a strongly worded letter is headed Joe's way. First thing the Democrats need is new leadership. If Emanuel accepts Obamas' offer of chief of staff, then it would be safe to try to get a new Speaker. Reid and Pelosi need to go.
may be the most loathsome person in American politics today. Even racists like David Vitter have the courage of their bizarre convictions.
His continued presence in OUR caucus is intolerable. He cannot be trusted. He is a quisling. He is from the Vichy wing of the party.
Merkley has WON in Oregon. That's 57! Franken and Begich could still win yet. To break McConnell's filibuster, they will only need 2-4 republican votes. SO TOSS JOE'S WORTHLESS, TRAITOROUS ASS OUT!
After this election, moderates like Snow, Collins, Lugar, (and a few other Republican's up for re-election in 2010 in places like Ohio and Pa.) are going to be on full alert. The GOP reichwingers may have a more difficult time obstructing than they think! Especially after seeing how many of their colleagues went down in flames in 2006 and 2008, and how several others barely survived in formerly red state strong-holds.
Saaaaayyyy..... in the spirit of "bipartisanship," Obama should nominate a few republicans for his cabinet, ESPECIALLY if they are repig senators in a state with a Democratic governor.
Then the govs could replace those senators with other Dems.....
THUS GIVING US 60 Dems in the Senate (minus Lieberman, of course.)
Damn, I can't be the first person to have thought of this. Anybody hear if this idea has been kicking around DC?
I say with the fingers of both hands crossed behind my back. At least as far as Joe goes. You know the bastard isn't going away so maybe just make him the towel boy. Never,ever let him hold a gavel again. Just taunt him with the possibility. On good behavior as it were.
How true! Joe knows that the only chance he has for a political career now, is to spend the next 4 years kissing Obama's - and the democrats ass.
He knows that means voting against McConnell's filibuster's whether he chairs a committee or not. He won't support his GOP buddies anymore, because it's NOT in Joe Lieberman's own political interest.
Joe lies and must not be trusted. He promised that if he lost in the Conn. primaries, he would not challenge the Democratic in the general election by running as an Independent. He did. When he endorsed McCain, he promised that he would not join in on the Republican hate machine, and only talk about the war. He lied about that too.
This guy, Lieberman is like a chamaleon, change color for his own conveniences. He must be kick out of the Democratic caucus
I looked up some Yddish words to make my point, just in case LIEberman
comes here to C&L to get an idea of how popular he is:
Joey = A Chazer bleibt a Chazer!!!!!!
Translation: A Pig Remains A Pig!
Unlike the fear mongers and neocons we won't question your patriotism, or call you unAmerican Joe Lieberman. At the same time we won't call you a friend, because you have made it clear that you are not a friend of progressives.
I'll drive the bus.
YES!!
and Reid should make him his bitch.
Seriously...
FUCK LIEBERMAN
Really, what else can you say? Fuck that whore. Let him sleep on McCain's couch.
To quote my Army compadres, "Fuckin' A, Rights!".
As in yesterday.
We all will be glad to see that greedy little skunk leave town, I would like to see him travel by rail, with the tar and feathers included. On a side note, his face reminds me of my old catchers mitt.-CEO,citizens,eyes,open
Lieberman has shown he's is a Republican and proud of it. Reid might want to protect his friend Joe but after watching Lieberman speak at the Republican Convention and campaign with McCain for two years it's clear Lieberman is a Republican. Now Reid can either kick Lieberman out or leave with him. Pelosi and Feinstein got their kick backs from the White House and now Obama/Biden will make sure the voters know what the Law Makers are doing.
I have to laugh at the way Democrats here burn because somebody disagrees with them on issues.
I'm no fan of Lieberman but I do respect that he doesn't have to fall in line with members of his previous party. We need MORE of this type of individualism not less. I would love to see a large number of politicians on both sides of the aisle jump into an independent category. That would truly be revolutionary and point toward change.
I hope Obama works inclusively with Lieberman (and McCain) to rise above the partisan politics and create a true atmosphere that lets people forget the party labels.
Standing on the stage with McShame is 'disagreeing' on issues. well, I hope your friends don't treat you the same. And rose-laugh all you wish Joe's done. I know. Long ago I voted for him twice. The laugh is on ME. And while I may 'disagree' about how a friend runs his life,I would never stand on his porch while the sherriff kicked him out of his house.
You miss the point. We're not going after him because he disagreed with us on issues. We're going after him because he accused us of being traitors and cowards for disagreeing with him. He's a hack and needs to be put out to pasture.
Rosepierre,
You consider his "individualism" respectable? You think it's funny because we take exception to his crass and self serving behavior? That he broke his own promises with impunity because he doesn't have the balls to do what is right? Guess what---we're not laughing, because selling out his ex party to further his selfish ambition is despicable. Ever hear of ethics and integrity? Or are those just inconvenient objects to obtaining political objectives at any cost? That's what Karl Rove does---not the Democrats, who aspire to a higher standard. Let the Republiscum have this sellout weasel---who can't be trusted---good riddance.
sold out Democrats across the country by questioning their patriotism, then he sold out Democratic voters in his own state by pissing on their will, then he sold out his party by besmirching the Democratic nominee at the Republican National Convention.
That's just the tip of the iceberg.
You call that individualism, I call that assholism.
...and don't say hi to your buddy Joe the (not)plumber.
He took the hypocrite party oath, he must go down with them.
There has to be SOME accountability for one's actions.
If Reid won't take him down then Hillary for Majority Leader.
there is not enough dem d*ck to suck on that will save you now. Your other hero's villa in Paraguay awaits.
Like Lieberman licking every members of the majority's balls during the opening session of the new Congress. And of course...the female genitalia of the female majority party members.
FTP= Fuck That Puto
he's 'Joe the Slummer',now. Poor Joe. Old friends gone-can't make new ones. Must be awkward.
Make him beg on his knees on the steps of the capitol, after alerting the press. Then kick him out anyway and leave his snivelling ass out there for all to see.
It is one thing to disagree with your political party.
It is another thing to vote in opposition to your political party.
It is another thing to leave the party when you fail to get re-elected.
None of these things hurt the other members of your party nor their agenda. It doesn't help them, but it doesn't hurt them.
But it is all together unacceptable to take actions that directly hurt the political party that you stand with.
If someone in my circle tries to shoot me down, they have tried to hurt me. If they miss and I survive, I will forgive that person eventually, but there must be justice. There must be a punishment, and said person must admit they were wrong and ask for forgiveness.
Lieberman took a shot at the Democratic Party. He has not admitted he made a mistake, he has not asked for forgiveness. All he has said is that he hopes things can be like they were before.
That is what Lieberman did. If McCain had been elected, it would have been extremely damaging to the Democratic Party and the nation for a minimum of 4 years.
If Harry Reid can't strap on a pair and deal with this then I hope Obama will.
put it,above-i may disagree with how my friend runs his life. I will never stand on his porch while the sheriff kicks him out of his house. adressing the GOP convention? Indorsing Mcshame? Being on the same stage at rallies? Nope. Fragg em.
Isn't Joe like your best friend sleeping with your wife but you don't break off the friendship?
but I'd shoot em both. jest sayin.heh.
I've already sent my senators an e-mail saying throw the bum out, which the Democrats should have done MONTHS ago. Lieberman can caucus with his Republican friends, or he can caucus by himself -- I don't care which. But it takes an incredible amount of chutzpa for Lieberman to think he should continue caucusing with the people he threw overboard -- and an enormous amount of self-contempt and contempt for their constituents for Democrats to allow him to do so.
Joe Lieberman has spent months sabotaging our Presidential candidates (plural) and months sabotaging almost every Democratic proposal to make life less rotten for people who aren't nearly as privileged as he. Let him pal around with the people whose agenda he really supports. I've also mentioned that if someone else wants to be Majority Leader, that's perfectly fine with me. There is absolutely no point in having a "filibuster-proof majority" if the current Senate Majority Leader has no interest in making Republicans follow through on their threats. (Democrats have to follow through, and Republicans don't? Whose side is Harry Reid ON?)
I'm gonna have to say "no", Joe. You can keep your warm phony wishes to yourself. No more caucusing with the Democrats for you.
After the war os over there are many deeds and thoughts you can forgive in an enemy, after all, he is your enemy and you are prepared for the attacks.
There is no forgiveness for those who chose to undemine your effort before a battle. Especially when their actions are an effort to advance their own power.
Is Quisling a common noun in the USA?
Now, in my best Whyle E Coyote voice "Hmm, Holy Joe Quisling. I like the sound of that."

But it should be, because it describes Lieberman so well!
What was it Obama said last night about cynicism? It's going to take a lot more than one speech to wash away what years of Democratic let-downs have wrought. Picking Rahm was the first squeek of air out of the celebratory balloon. Harry Reid's impotent meeting with Joe tomorrow will be the flatulant release of the rest of it.
"Reaching across the aisle" does not mean fondling Leiberman's balls. DO SOMETHING HARRY. We're watching.
Joe, I mean this with all due respect, GO FUCK YOURSELF!
Suppose, just hypothetically, that a republican senator, let us call him Mr. X., supporting Al Gore, passionately, vigorously, with every fiber of his being, in 2000. And let us suppose (in a fashion consistent with, indeed, factual reality, that Gore lost (ok, or was hosed by Clarence Thomas, but why quibble...))
How, do you think, Mr.'s Bush and Cheney would have treated Mr. X.? "Welcome back to the fold, old chum! - we are all co-travelers here in good ol' republicandom! A mere transgression, O kindly comrade. All in the spirit of good sport, wot, ho?"
Or, do you think it would have been a one-way plane ticket to political GitMo?
I hope our Friend, Mr. Lieberman, is making a quick trip to RiteAid for some sunscreen and/or is going to make the conversion to R, cuz he ain't welcome 'round here no more
piss off
Democrats should vote on whether to tie his ass to the railroad tracks or not.
I'll vote yes.
And I have rope!
if he promises to vote with the dems 100% of the time then he can hang out for awhile - if he doesnt then cut him loose.
Is Droopy Dog sorry? Is he really sorry? Too bad, so sad!
I think this is the moment of truth for the seemingly-worthless Reid/Pelosi team. They need to clean house before Barack comes in. First order of business: send Lieberman packing. Second order: Impeach Bush and Cheney. My guess for their apparent lack of testicular fortitude/spine was that they didn't want to spoil the Democrat candidate's chance for election. Now that it is over, it is time to do what is right--impeach Bush and Cheney. If we are really serious about right and wrong, send them to the Hague and let them try them as they will. But my guess is that Reid and Pelosi will simply close the chamber doors and sit around divvying up K street contributions. I hope the Democrats in power have heard our voices--WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK. We have thrown out the Republicans and if the Democrats want to stay in power, they better work for US or we can throw them out, too.
Kick this asshole out!
Funny how HE LOST in 2000,
Backed Kerry in 2004 and HE LOST,
Backed McCain in 2008 and HE ALSO LOST!
Anyone should RUN from Joe if he shows any sign of supporting them.
I'm PROUD to say I voted for Ned Lamont instead of this tool!
I so much appreciate the sentiment, here, but aren't we about to have a lame duck session? Whatever action takes place will happen, for the most part next year.
Being able to manipulate the odd processes of the US Senate is something that befuddles most Americans. As much as you want Reid's orbs, and those of Joe, please remember that you can't get ahead of the situation and be helpful for the cause.
Again, I probably am older have greater issues with Joe than most of you, but he may very well be more useful as a stooge for another 4 years, than anything else.
Then, come 2012, say hello to my friend Senator Lamont, if he still is interested. Remember, Joe and poor little rich kid, John, are now on a final round in the Senate. They will be all about their legacy and it probably won't be about divisiveness. They can be tooled. We can't think Robespierre, but more the Roman model of assimilation of foot soldiers. Revenge may be sweet, but often not useful to the cause. Robespierre fought the battle of virtue and terror. I suggest that using the slug may be more valuable (Joe).
One of the most telling moments in the past election cycle was the Senate floor confrontation between Lieberman and Obama. Joe was a slug. The next time they meet on the floor, Joe will be speaking with the next President of the United States. Face it, Obama, went man up on the slug and won. He's got the salt and Joe knows it.
(the weed hereby apologizes to UC Santa Cruz for any negative references implied.)
How dare you denigrate the brilliant, warm-hearted and hardworking Mr. Lieberman!
As our new President-Elect and Saviour-in-Chief has said,
"Joe Lieberman's a man with a good heart, with a keen intellect, who cares about the working families of America." "I am absolutely certain that Connecticut's going to have the good sense to send Joe Lieberman back to the United States Senate."
I'm sure what Obama meant to say was that Lieberman was a dumb, cold-hearted war-mongering mother-f-cker but just made a slip of the tongue.
...or AFTER Liarman showed his colors at the RNC>?
when Lamont was trying to end the war in Iraq by opposing Lieberman, and Obama came in to save Joe. Says a lot about the ethics of the pres-elect.
Quit clutching your pearls, princess. I'll get you a brown paper bag and you can use it to try to stop the hyperventilating.
I'll tell you something though: Your hyperbole and histrionics speak volumes about you.
What Lieberman did at the Republican National Convention should have been enough to show who he really is. If he get reelected next time, the people in Connecticut are morons. Forget that. They're morons for electing him the last time.
Democratic leadership needs to show him the door--ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BE TRUSTED. He deserves the lowest circle of Hell where Dante put traitors.
Harry Reid does not have the balls to strip Lieberman!If Lieberman gets kicked to the curb it will only happen if Obama jumps down Reid's throat!Reid and Pelosi both need to GO!
I think the voters of CT need to think long and hard about what they did when they elected an independent who couldn't get the nomination of the Democratic party. What was the allure of this guy? Was it that he had the interest of Israel as his real agenda? He did admit he was willing to do whatever it took to ensure their security. Was it because the fundamentalist right has the interest of Israel in their backwards agenda to force the return of Jesus? This guy is just like the folks that vote Republican for guns, gays and god. His thought process is clouded by religion..........that or McCain has a naked picture of him with a little boy.
Joe has his Head so far up McCain's A-S that:
#10 Every time McCain farts, Joe's lips move!
#9 He thinks he’s running for President?
#8 He feels like he’s on a Bombing run.
#7 He found Clinton's cigar!
#6 He was put on Auto-pilot.
#5 He met Carl Rove in The Chocolate Factory!
#4 He’s in The Green Zone wearing Depends and a Flack Jacket.
#3 He found Rush’s Limp-burger!
#2 He called 911
And the
# 1 reason why Joe Lieberwhore has his head up so far up McCains A-S is:
He gets to sit on Cheney’s lap.
I was praying for 61 seats so we can kick his trifling ass out and still have the 60.
I say kick his ass out now anyway. Maybe McCain will hire him as his personal butler so he can start polishing all his furniture in all his houses. Lie-berman does not deserve any place in our government.
with Low Down Joe Lieberman.
don't get to 60 outright, perhaps, moderate Repubs like Olympia Snow will see the writing on the wall and vote with the Dems.
I know Pres-Elect Obama has a LOT on his plate. But one of the items I will judge the new Democratic leadership on, is how they handle these people.
Lieberman needs to be booted from everything they can legally boot him from. Force him to change parties again.
I also expect that Pelosi and Reid will get a stern talking-to. We've had a Democratic majority in the Senate for 2 years now, they've proven themselves useless.
Joe Lieberman is no Democrat. In terms of American politics, he sucks up to whichever political faction is most likely to increase his own personal power and advance his personal agenda. Lieberman's personal agenda has absolutely nothing to do with the State of Connecticut, which for Lieberman is simply a marriage and residence of convenience. The only State Lieberman owes fealty to, cares about, legislates for, and politically represents is the State of Israel. Period.
The last time I checked, Israel does not have a seat in the United States Senate. If Lieberman wants to legislate for Israel, let him move to Tel-Aviv (I doubt he has the personal courage to try living in Jerusalem). Otherwise, he is simply an agent provocateur -- or minister without portfolio, if you prefer that term -- for a foreign government that has not always been friendly and aboveboard with its proclaimed "greatest ally," the United States.
Forget Ned Lamont, and forget merely taking away Lieberman's committee chair: Lieberman should be impeached, period. Then whatever mechanism is appropriate, appointment by the Governor or special statewide election, should put someone in Lieberman's seat who actually puts Connecticut ahead of his or her own self interest.
I like toast, but, LIEberman is a loser (Melba toast). Remove him from all committees upon which he serves. Vote his ass out asap.
We should kick him out just because he cost us several seats in the House and Senate. It was because of him caucusing with the Democratic Party that there wasn't a wave against the GOP...you see, according to the media the Democratic Party has had control of the Senate the last two years. If the GOP had the nominal control of the Senate the last two years(and they had enough control to stop the other party from doing anything) we would have picked up at least a couple more Senate seats. Thanks Harry Reid!!!
Lieberman should pay for his traitorous ways. He will still be pushing for a pre-emptive military strike on Iran. Make him pay
there is no question that this mealy-mouthed spineless sorry excuse needs to be ousted. Underemoniously, he needs to be put out on his ear now, or shoud we wait until he has a chance to vote and show his colors once again. why do the dems tolerate and exault him Any who do at this point should be given the boot along with him.
Obama, show that we made the right choice. stop the moderate approach. drop this mantle of too much civility. go after lieberman, throw his sorry ass out. This will in turn send the message to Pelosi and Reid to either follow the will of those who put them in office or they will go down along with bush and cheney. we need a thorough house cleaning on both sides of the aisle.
If Joe Lieberman is allowed back in the Democratic Caucus, and suffers no consequences for his behavior, I will officially re-register as a Decline to State independent.
I pledged a while back to myself that, after working to elect Barack Obama, I would no longer argue in favor of the Democratic Party simply out of partisan loyalty. I will instead be working for comprehensive electoral reform and other issues that are important.
But if they let this man back in, I will simply be done with the Democrats altogether. I will not call myself a Democrat, I will not register as a Democrat, and I will not campaign for Democrats. (Unless an exceptional individual runs for office who deserves my local support because s/he is who s/he is.)
There is no reason to work with him. Even if he were the 60th vote, there would be no reason to work with him. In fact, they should exercise their Constitutional removal power, and kick him out of the Senate altogether.
are our elected leaders mad? Perhaps they have worked alongside this turncoat for so long that they really can't see what he has done in a larger perspective. He may have done some good along the way and that's what keeps our elected reps supporting him, but look at what he has done lately. He needs to go, send him packing back to the republican base. He's going to quick realize that he was only being "used" and now that his usefulness is at an end to them, they are not going to want him either. Elmer Fudd, you truly are in a sorry state. last word: dems grow a pair, all of you, and take decisive action lest you become circumspect.
Bye Joe, you turncoat trader and creep! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
Now on to the Arrest of BushCo!
(To the tune of "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas")
If he doesn't vote with the dems any way the people of CT. will kick him out....They don't want a republican senator....hell they even let Shays go!
