House Democratic leaders will likely kick Lieberman out.»

On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) refused to close the door on the possibility that he and other Democratic leaders would kick Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) out of the party’s caucus next year. When asked about the future of Lieberman’s chairmanship, Reid told reporters, “Next year will be next year when we get there.” Today, Robert Novak reports that Democratic insiders are “certain” that Lieberman will be out:

Despite assurances to the contrary from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Democratic insiders are certain that Sen. Joseph Lieberman will be kicked out of the party’s caucus next year and lose his Senate chairmanship if he addresses the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., as planned.

Lieberman’s Democratic colleagues willing to accept his support of Sen. John McCain for president consider his speaking to the GOP convention as the last straw. Lieberman was re-elected from Connecticut as an independent in 2006 after losing the Democratic nomination because of his support for the Iraq War.

11. He lied to Dem voters to win the primary.
He said I'm a good Democrat so vote for me and I will work to elect a Democrat as President in '08. Conn. voters should start a recall movement and kick his ass out of the Senate.

15. You're right.
Edited on Sun Jul-13-08 12:10 PM by Graybeard
But the promise to work for a Democratic president in '08 was an out and out lie. What a slime-ball.

4. oooHHH how daring of Harry!!!
Kick Lieberman out, how radical!!! That will surely solve all the problems we have. Harry Reid is a do nothing, worthless, useless toad. Why doesnt he do something about the lawlessness of the executive branch? Too hard I suppose. What a friggen waste of time.
