So, can we get rid of Lieberman now?

[PassingFair]

Doesn't he lose his mystical "60th" vote now.

Can he NOW PLEASE be stripped of his committee chairmanships?

PLEASE?

[Lord Helmet]

1. Yes please.

[gravity]

2. Lets pass health care reform first

[bigwillq]

3. Pretty please?

:evilgrin:

[mth44sc]

4. Yes

If the Dems want to tell us who they are - this would be teh first order of business...

[treestar]

5. We still need him. Plus one moderate republican.

otherwise, all we can get are budget reconciliation bills.

[PassingFair]

6. It is my understanding that expanding Medicare can be done through

reconciliation.

Lieberman must be flushed.

[treestar]

7. Apparently for the budget reconciliation the bill has to do nothing but

affect the budget - it can't have anything extraneous.

I haven't gotten far enough to figure out if Medicare could be expanded that way.

[Betty Karlson]

8. And it will send a strong message to other

"less loyal" senators: you mess with the bill, we mess with you. Let's whip some discpline into the remaining senators. Bush reigned the U.S. with 52 GOP senators!

[mrbarber]

9. No, that would be mean.

We wouldn't want to piss anyone off or upset anyone, would we?

[PassingFair]

10. Of course, you're quite right.

I don't want people to think we're mean.

What was I thinking?

[davidpdx]

11. I say flush him and Bacus as well

Take Nelson and put him in the toilet as well. Pelosi ought to do the same thing in the House. We are fucked after tonight and have nothing to lose. HC isn't going to get passed once Brown is seated. I'm pissed, this is so FUCKED UP! Fuck the Conservadems!

[704wipes]

12. ban him from the caucus; strip committee chairs - NOW

did he endorse Brown; I bet he did. I bet he didn't campaign for Coakly.

[Faryn Balyncd]

13. k and r

[never cry wolf]

14. Joe no longer matters, he is now irrelivant

His only power was as #60... now he does not matter, the silver lining...

[TheKentuckian]

15. Hang him high!
