3. Well someone had to take over for Zell Miller.

Maybe they're a tag team?

4. I wish they would force him to leave the party. Take his bullshit with him.

8. Be Careful What You Ask For

First, Lieberman is alread OUT of the party.

He is an Independent. He lost the Democratic primary in Connecticut, and instead of leaving the Senate race, he chose to run as an Independent. That is how he got himself elected.

He caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate, and that is why we have a majority in the Senate.

We the Democrats to force him to leave their Senate caucus, the Rethuglicans would become the majority party in the Senate.

10. Sorry---- but you're flat out wrong

<snip>

Joe Lieberman will not switch parties, not now, and not until such a switch can benefit him enormously. As hilzoy demonstrates, the Senate Organizing Resolution gives the Dems control of the Senate — regardless of numbers — until th 11th Congress. That is, until 2008. So Lieberman switching would not hand control of the Senate to Republicans. All it would do is make Lieberman unimportant. right now, Lieberman gets his face on TV and his name written about reverently by the Broders of the world because he is a Republican who calls himself a Democrat. Under such circumstances, and considering the almost alerguc reaction to common sense and logic our national punditry seems to display on this issue, Lieberman’s support of Republican positions on all the important questiosn of the day makes him, not a Republican, but “bipartisan”. And that makes him “important” to the punditry. If Lieberman were to become a Republican in name as well as in fact, then he would just be another neo-conservative and the print accolades and TV invitations would come to an end.

5. I watched as well. Liebermann makes no sense - berating Pelosi for talking to Syria..

What the heck were all the Republicans doing in Syria? What is the difference?

Josef acts as if he owes his seat to Rove.

7. He does owe his seat to rove--or at least to the republicans.

Good ole Joe has a pact with the devil some time ago. We can only hope that he is McCaining himself.

2. Once Again .....

I want to thank all the Democrats that voted for Lieberman.... NOT!!

[stirlingsliver]

6. Lieberman is NO Democrat

Lieberman is NO Democrat.

He LOST in the Democratic primary in Connecticut, and instead of bowing out of the Senate race, he ran as an Independent.

He is still an "Independent" in the Senate.

He caucuses with the Democrats.

9. What did Specter say?

[wake.up.america]

11. Specter, for the most part, supported Nancy, saying she was doing what needed to be done.
