When the new Democratic majority took power in the Senate in 2006 I (along with many others) expected things to slightly improve. By "slightly improve" I mean that the Senate would insist more on its Constitutional prerogatives and fend off the Bush Regime's more egregious assaults on the rule of law and common decency.
Instead I was treated with the spectacle of watching Harry Reid (D-NV) whimper and roll over faster than a Nevadan hooker at the prospect of scoring some john's gambling winnings by taking it up the ass. On virtually every subject.
Which brings me, mercifully, to the subject of Joseph Lieberman (CT-Quisling).
Instead of actually punishing Lieberman for Party disloyalty or at least giving him a wedgie, the Democratic Senate Caucus is allowing him to sail on virtually unscathed, losing a relatively unimportant subcommittee chairmanship and giving what was probably a facile, insincere apology written for him by a Republican staffer."

Harry Reid Poll: Nevadans See Senator As "Weak"
A majority of Nevadans want a public health care option and are worried about Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's leadership on this and other issues, according to a new Research 2000 poll. Failure to pass a public health care option would make a significant number of voters less inclined to re-elect the longtime senator.
A majority of respondents called Reid a weak leader and ineffective, according to the poll. While more Republicans and independents described Reid as a weak leader, a full 47% of Democrats also had an unfavorable opinion of the Senator's leadership. Fifty-one percent of party members, meanwhile, said Reid was ineffective. Ninety-two percent of Democrats said Reid was "not progressive enough."

So Harry has been in the Senate since 1987.... I am not in favor of ANY politicians serving for "20+ years"
I personally would prefer a Progressive Leader.. not a Harry Reid.
