I'm pretty upset after hearing Lieberman at GOPuke convention
Hubby and I feel Lieberman should be stripped of all his committees. He is NOT a Democrat. Don't treat him like one!!!

2. Play nice until November, count Senators after the election . . .
And then make some choices. Surely he expects some backlash from his appearance at the convention, and the lash will need to be applied. OTOH, We're stuck with him for 4 more years.

6. My understanding is that since the party breakdown leaves us in "control"
of the Senate by just one vote, if we strip the self-righteous ass of his committee assignments we risk him formally switching parties. If that happens then the VP gets to select who controls the Senate and its committees, pushing us back into the minority and out of control of EVERY committee.

13. That's what I'm staking my hopes on
cuz obviously this dude needs to go. It makes me sick that we sorta have to have this jackass on committees even for a short while, but I reluctantly understand (however nauseated I am in the process).

14. He won in 2006. He's a senator until 2012. Independent, 'Lican, whatever . . .
He's gonna be there.

15. Take away Leberman's senority. DEMS should take him off committees
Fine let him be there.

The way I understand it, he LOST his Democratic standing. He should be at the bottom when getting on committees.

Make him be a newbie all over again. Take away his senority.

7. Forgive me...
But is this somehow a big surprise?

(I hate him too... We were lectured here by ADMIN for saying such things... about a DEMOCRAT. Yep.... We ARE SUPPOSED TO LOVE THEM ALL.... apparently even if it means they are total asswipes.)

Lieberman is no democrat - he is however the biggest shill for the GOP since the entire Bush clan.

9. I agree, but as other people have said
it's a means to an end. We are stuck with him until the new Congress adjourns in 2009. Then he's fucking burnt toast.

17. I have never hurt a person in my life (well, maybe my sister when I was a kid)
Edited on Wed Sep-03-08 12:26 PM by Oregonian
but, I swear, Joe Lieberman evokes in me such outrage that I can't even describe the scenarios I envision in my mind happening to him.

on edit: Just to clarify: Of course I would never actually do anything to anybody, but it makes me feel better to think of horrible things happening to Joe Lieberman.

18. There was a post here that the Dems extorted 250K out of him..
to keep his chair positions. I say it wasn't worth it.
