Joe Lieberman's coverup for BushInc on Katrina - is anyone surprised
Edited on Fri Jan-12-07 04:56 PM by blm
that he would do this? Anyone think he acts alone here?

There are enough coverup Democrats in our party who will support and protect Joe every step of the way even when he is actively supporting and protecting BushInc. Many of those same people want us to not examine and investigate the leadup to the Iraq war, even though the revelations could prevent a similar future leadup.

That protection of BushInc goes back over 40 years and didn't start with Joe and won't end with Joe - Joe is just one actor getting the attention for it at this point.

It's up to the rest of us Democrats to work to expose, weaken, and STOP that wing of the party that harbors the coverup Democrats.

Our democracy is too fragile at this point in history to allow the continuation of secrecy and privilege that is eating away at this nation.

It's past time that truth matters to our party and to our nation.

4. I already did.
Asked how he and Landrieu feel about "Holy Joe" now? Also suggested that he start respecting and honoring the will of the people. There is a REASON the Dems in Ct. voted this treasonous, rat bastard OUT!

2. I'm in.
I know how harmful and destructive it is to HATE. With LIEberman, however, I can't help myself. my only consolation is that I believe he is a criminal and he will be indicted for his crimes. It's just a matter of time.

6. This is an outrage for us on the Gulf Coast--he's backing off impeachable offenses IMO
What a slap in the face. What are they hiding in those emails? Do you think this is a big reason they needed Joe to chair the Committee of Homeland Security and Government Affairs?

12. There is no doubt that Joe has once and for all sold his soul in this deal.
Yes, they needed Joe and Joe needed them to get his seat back.

They are corrupt and they are vile.

Amen.

7. Which committee is in charge on the House side?
If Holy Joe won't investigate, the House committee can still do it.

13. Excellent Point
If Liebermann won't, then the House should. It's unfortunate that he is in such a powerful position as a swing independent. I never did trust him to look out for the American working person.

14. Of course, but we can count on the coverup Democrats to downplay
the efforts of those acting responsibly, as if the veneer of 'bipartisanship' is the greater virtue than acting in accordance with the constitution.

20. As much of a lapdog he's become for Bush.. are you kidding me !?!?!?
Do you seriously think an reTHUG candidate will select a pro-choice candidate with a 100% rating from Pro Choice America (NARAL)???

Not only that.. but the NRA despises him because of his stance on gun safety...

He's against Bush's school vouchers... he's completely against school prayer... and while he's no Al Gore, he's environmentally conscious...

Besides kissing Bush's ass and being completely blind to the problem in Iraq, Lieberman would never make it through the Falwell sniff test.

The only reason the R's and I's voted for him in Connecticut, is because they didn't want Lamont.

But as far as the rTHUG VP choice..??? Taint Gonna Happen.

27. I disagree, because Israel had a breakaway center party that spurned far right
and left and found success in its first election cycle. At the time I said there would be strategists preparing the same move here - and we already have seen evidence of that happening with the so-called 'Unity" party.

28. The difference is that Israel has a proportional-representation system
Which means there are more parties; more dependence on post-election deals between parties; and sometimes less predictable results.

29. True, but I think the center-right will have most US media making up any lag for them.
From everything we've seen from our media over the last dozen years, we can count on it.

15. Surprised? Hardly! Let's not forget that with a chance to pick up a Senate seat
the Pukes threw their own candidate under the bus to save Joe.

Makes it pretty god-damned clear who's side he's on.

32. He's down with the Bushes and the Clintons - and the PNAC crowd - so whassup?
Joe's in place where he is because they need him on committees to help continue te coverups for BushInc. That's what that crowd of Dems do and have been doing since 1993.

19. Time for Dems to twist the screws on Joe.
First take away his bargaining power by getting a moderate GOP senator like Snowe to make a quiet agreement to switch parties should Lieberman jump ship. Then teach him a lesson with about party loyalty by holding evidence of his campaign slush fund improprieties and other illegalities over his head to insure that he votes along party lines.

It's time to take Joe in hand.

30. Sickens me how Dem establishment supported Joe over the Dem candidate.
It really shows the Dem constituents are lesser voices to those of their establishment powerstructure in the coverup wing of the party.

HINT HINT HINT to Democrats everywhere!

Time to pull out all the political stops!

We must get rid of this BASTARD and also insure that he is replaced by a Dem...

Time to get serious...

33. You post all the time about "coverup Democrats". Just who are these people?
There are enough coverup Democrats in our party who will support and protect Joe every step of the way even when he is actively supporting and protecting BushInc. Many of those same people want us to not examine and investigate the leadup to the Iraq war, even though the revelations could prevent a similar future leadup.


Those are some pretty strong accusations. Just who are these Democrats you speak of all the time who support Lieberman every step of the way and don't want us examining the leadup to the Iraq war?

Names please, and for each one you name, provide some bonafide links that show these people covering up this stuff you're accusing them of. Please don't waste our time with links pointing to posts from blogs either. Thanks in advance.

34. Who made you God of media credibility? Are you going to make a list of blogs you accept?
Are you going to lay out all the sources you accept? That might be a good idea.

Most of us here know credible sources and know which ones are not credible.

So..do you like CNN, FOX, or MSNBC for your news? The NYT or the WP? ABC NBC or CBS?

Which is the most acceptable. I have found most of the blogosphere on our side to be quite credible. They have many times made the MSM back down and apologize for their lies.

I have been called a liar here twice this week for posting something that was from a source I trusted and knew.

So make a list, please.

35. Unless you are also blm, I don't understand why you answered
a question that I asked of her. But if you're going to answer for other posters, at least try to keep your answers from being nonsensical outbursts.

You know darn well there's nothing wrong with asking someone just who these "coverup Dems" are, but nice try in trying to paint me as some kind of a "God", lol.

I have been called a liar here twice this week for posting something that was from a source I trusted and knew.


Well you need to take that up with the people who accused you of that then.

So make a list, please


Me make a list? hahahaha. I'm not the one who keeps posting about "coverup Dems" and leaving out a list of names.
