LIEberman should be kicked out of the Dem. party ALTOGETHER so he can't use his

[jenmito]

position to try to "wield his power" and constantly get his butt kissed for his vote. Who CARES if the Dems. don't get to 60 in the Senate? It'll be close enough without the Dem. party letting LIEberman run all over it. He should just be forced to join the other side with the rest of the slimeballs. If he's allowed to stay in his current position after breaking his word, he'll "win" AGAIN!

[Sarah Ibarruri]

1. I agree! nt

[cali]

2. Well, Obama doesn't think so. And he won't be able to wield power

as he won't have any in the next Senate. Also, I trust Obama's political savvy.

[jenmito]

5. Obama said he should be allowed to stay in the PARTY-not to keep his position as

chair of whatever party he chairs. And Lieberman already said he refused to step down from that position. Obama could've given the wink and nod to the Dem. Senators when he said what he said, knowing Lieberman wouldn't stay in the party without keeping his position as chair of his committee he's on.

[redqueen]

7. He can't just refuse can he?

That's preposterous. He's NOT a Dem anymore (by his own choice) and the decision is not his.

[jenmito]

8. Nope, which is why the REAL Dems. should refuse HIM.

He's nothing but an opportunist.

[cali]

12. try reading your own OP. It states in big fat words that Lieberman should

be kicked out of the party. It doesn't even fucking mention his chairmanship.

[jenmito]

15. Hey-why the harsh language?

:shrug: My OP and my response to your post are 2 different things. To you I said that LIEBERMAN said he wouldn't stay in the Dem. party if he couldn't keep his chairmanship.

[BlooInBloo]

25. Liberman never said that. Sheesh. Learn the difference between a party and caucusing.

[BlooInBloo]

21. Obama never said that.

[jenmito]

24. He DID say he wants Lieberman to remain in the Dem. caucus.

[BlooInBloo]

26. It took you THAT long to finally utter a true statement. Better late than never.

[jenmito]

28. So what-do you think I was lying? Jeez! Tell the Dem. Senators to lighten up then.

[BlooInBloo]

31. No. I'm certain you're using words without knowing what they mean.

[jenmito]

34. And what are you certain the Dem. Senators are angry about?

[AtomicKitten]

3. He already took himself out of the Dem party by running as an independent.

Short of using him as part of a 60-member supermajority, I agree they should drop-kick his ass from the party and from any leadership position.

:hi:

[jenmito]

6. Well, really, he ran as a member of the "Connecticut for Lieberman Party" that he

created so that his name would be first on the ballot. He's so sleazy.

So do I. :hi:

[PBS Poll-435]

4. They also need to take away his IHOP frequent diner discount card

:grr:

[tinrobot]

9. Ummm... he already IS out of the party.

[jenmito]

10. He considers himself an "Independent Democrat."

[redqueen]

11. I consider him out of his damn mind.

There is no "Independent Democrat" party. He ran on his own, he's ON HIS OWN.

He knew damn well we'd cut his McCain-backin ass loose if we won a majority.

Suck it, Joe.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

13. I'm starting to agree. I'm sick of hearing about Traitor Joe. Just cut our ties and be done w/ it.

[jenmito]

18. Thank you...

I'm getting beaten up here. :shrug:

[CK_John]

14. Old Joe is an Independent. n/t

[jenmito]

19. He ran as a member of his "Connecticut for Lieberman Party" and now considers himself an Indep. Dem.

[BlooInBloo]

16. How long will it take people to fucking realize that he's not a fucking Democrat?

Sheesh.

[jenmito]

17. Which people are you talking about?

I'm talking technicalities. Sheesh.

[BlooInBloo]

20. You don't know the difference between being a member of the Democratic party...

and *caucusing* with the Democrats.

They just don't mean the same thing.

[jenmito]

22. Well, Lieberman calls himself an Independent Dem.

[BlooInBloo]

23. Which is relevant to exactly NOTHING you said.

[jenmito]

27. Then I don't know what the Dem. Senators are so angry about.

Sheesh.

[BlooInBloo]

29. Stick with the "I don't know" part.

[jenmito]

32. Tell it to the Dem. Senators and stop attacking me.

:eyes:

[TheDonkey]

30. I agree. He should be expelled from the caucus. Did we let Chaffee have a chairmanship?

Should we have let Zell Miller have a chairmanship. Obama's not perfect and this is his first major blunder imo. I just hope it doesn't come back and bite us.

[jenmito]

35. Thank you for understanding what I meant...

unlike some of the mean posters here. :hi:
