Lieberman what party does he belong to and who the hell relected him.

This is one vote that probably wasn't ever intended for Hillary. But Obama supported his run in 2006. It appears it doesn't matter what party you belong to, it's more important to follow money and the power brokers.

He's listed as an ID (Independent Democrat) for reporting purposes in the Senate. Why didn't he go with a I (Independent) listing like Bernie Sanders. Talk about playing both sides of the field.

I think he's actually a wolf (republican) in sheep's clothing.

 

The scary thing? Had Gore been elected in 2000, I'm sure the RepubliNazis would have begun impeachment proceedings within hours of the inauguration, and we would have ended up with Lieberman as president. Which means, almost for certain, that he would have lied us into the same wars we're stuck in now.

Lieberman may be a true fascist on the critical issues, but I've heard that he's just liberal enough on social issues (e.g. he doesn't think gays should be rounded up and put in camps) that Republicans still consider him to be a socialist terrorist-loving homosexual.

I wonder if Gore knew what kind of nut he had running with him...

 

Lieberman knows his days are numbered. Chances are good the Democrats are going to increase their majority in November and they will no longer need his vote and he will likely loose his committee chairman position. He is also polling very badly in his home state and it is unlikely he will be able to successfully make another independent run as the DNC will target him and he will be outspent. His only choice for keeping his job is to defect to the Republican party and hope they can dump enough money into his state to counter the DNC, which is why he endorsed McCain and is speaking at the Republican convention this summer.

 

They won't be winning any seats with my votes. They promised to think before they funded and refunded this war. They promised to hold accountable those making policy decisions that affect all our lives. They promised to protect the rights of the individual. They have done less than nothing. Why should I vote for any of them. Pelosi is a joke. Lieberman is an outright scoundrel, but someone reelected him. No one get's a free ride on my vote. You earn it and not by default because the other party is seen as worse. They are all the worst.

I'll do like I do in state elections and vote for the long shot, non-big party candidates.

And what majority might that be that the dems have in the senate...the two independents one of them Lieberman saying they are part of the democratic caucus. The only ones with a majority are the corporate lobbyists.

 

Ask yourself how he was given a committee chair after dropping his party affiliation to get re-elected after losing his primary bid as a democrat? Didn't the voters during the primary have the right to select someone else to represent their party. You reward that type of behavior?

 

I agree with you. Lieberman should have been stripped of his committee chairmanship. However, it is really not as simple as that. The problem for the Democratic party was the Republicans would have welcomed him with open arms into their caucus had the Democrats pissed him off enough to completely jump ship. By giving him a leadership position they ensured he stayed with them giving a 51-49 majority, instead of a 50-50 where Vice President Cheney breaks the ties. It is very probable after the next election the Democrats will consolidate their majority, probably not a veto proof majority, but perhaps 55-45 or even 57-43 and they will no longer need Lieberman. At that point expect him to be stripped of his leadership position. Also, expect Pelosi and Reid to loose their positions in the next congress as well. If Obama does not select Clinton as his VP, I expect she will be the next Majority Leader.

 

Hmmm not the first time Senator Obama made a good call.

How about somebody who follows his conscience instead of the power brokers who want to evict him in a snit. Nice to see a lil independence.

Liebermans only diference with his caucus is that he has the courage of his convictions on on Bush's War.

I'm not so sure what this says about the convictions of The Democratic Party. If they are sooo pissed off why don't they just have the courage of thier convictions and dump him now?

Lieberman had that chair long before the election.
ALL of the voters of Connecticut voted to retain thier independent Senator.

:cheers2:

 

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!

 

The fact that Gore chose Lieberman as his running mate should say a lot about Gore... not to his blind followers, of course.

 

Connecticut? I'd didn't know there was a town in Isreal named Connecticut.

 

Lieberman's only courage and convictions come from his monied supporters. I wonder how much Blackwater, Haliburton and/or KBR stock he owns.

 

I only get six stations on the tv. Soon probably none, I can't find any converter boxes for sale in my area. Walmart says they only receive 12 per week. I've been up all night and the only late night news is on CBS, and they've been doing nothing but feeding us retakes of Lieberman flaunting McCain on Face the Nation. It's riduculous. It's time to say officially the democrats have no majority in the Senate. Lieberman is a republican. And if I was a republican I wouldn't trust him either.
