New Republic: The Case For Letting The Turncoat Democrat Keep His Position In The Senate

[hhkeller]

Liberman works for Israels right wing.
He lied us into Iraq so that Israels squatter settlements could stay on the West Bank.
This guy has gotten thousands of our GIs killed and should be investigated for treason.

Lieberman needs to be shown the door.

What a cargo load of ***. LIEberman did exactly nothing with his privilege of subpoena power when it came to calling the chimp in chief on all of his crimes against humanity.

Now people want to say all is forgiven? You gotta be kidding me. This is the thing that drives so called moderates away from the Dems. Imagine a Rethuglican doing that to their party. Is it any question that they would throw him out on his rear so fast it would make your head spin? No I am not say do it because that is what they would do, I''m saying do it because it makes sense.

Who cares if he jumps over to the Rethug klan if he doesn''t get what he wants. Is there anybody that honestly thinks he has a chance to get re-elected doing that? He probably knows he cant get re-elected anyway and will probably make Obama''s life a living hell.

The Dems would show exactly zero backbone by letting this 2k Judas keep his chairmanship. I''m all for making an example out of this clown because one needs to be made. It is nothing more than ridiculous to think you can stab a guy in the back that you asked to help you get re-elected.

The Dems can''t possibly be that stupid.

The democrats won''t admit it but Leiberman was right, along with the republicans, on the Iraq war including the surge. He has served us well (I am a democrat). Unfortunately, the left wingnuts in the party will never admit they were wrong. Reid said we lost the war 3 years ago and Pelosi wanted to stop funding the troops. These are the wingnuts Leiberman had to deal with in his endever to head us in the right direction back then. He is a man of conviction and I will always vote for him no matter what party he is in.

thuderstone,

To discard Lieberman and push for a Democratic Party that embraces only your values is a recipe for a rout in 2010. You may have only a small window of opportunity to push your agenda. Bill Clinton had only two years.

[thuderstone]

His desicion are his, mistakes he made are also his. I think the man is senile. AIPAC goes, we could not afford him on as the chair on homeland security, because American intrest should come first before Isreal. But when people say we still need this guy, I think that is an mistake, we don''t need this guy in the democratic party, his every action warns about what is wrong with the government and we need to decide strong and firm, Joe is got to go. CT voters need to think clearly when his terms are up, because we Americans are peace loving, tree planting, freedom seeking, we don''t need confused old men running as our represetative in the highst form.

[blackyowe]

He slit his own throat and his blood is flowing from his body as we speak. Such a man is no leader.

[ausus-2009]

For the Democrats to throw Lieberman under the bus would be an act of sheer stupidity. There is an outside chance that the Democrats and Lieberman together would give the majority needed of 60 to avoid filibusters. To antagonize him could push him over to the Republicans on crucial votes.

[wingnutsblow]

Throw Holy Joe so far under the bus he comes out the back and gets run over by the next bus. Elections have consequences, turncoat.

editorialstaff net notes: Every conservative, libertarian, and military family member in America is praying daily, that the defeatocrats are stupid enough to throw Uncle Joe under the bus, on the way to their deafeatist inaugural ball. When he is forced to caucus with the forces of liberty and justice for all, they can take down the sign that says, "When the last honorable statesman leaves the defeatocratic caucus, please turn out the lights."
