How should Lieberman be kicked out?
for his actions during this presidential campaign? Now assuming that we'll have enough votes that we don't need that loser (and at this point it's a fair assumption to make imo) How should he be terminated by the caucus? Now this is a little tongue in cheek, but what if they just gather up all of the senate democrats on the steps of the Capitol Hill, then Sen. Reid goes up to the podium and says "Sen. Lieberman...You're fired!"

26. Exactly. Anything public is a bad idea; just treat him as little more than
a third rate staffer.

23. Definately not!
Bill Lumbergh: Milt, we're gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B. We have some new people coming in, and we need all the space we can get. So if you could just go ahead and pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be terrific, OK?

Milton Waddams: Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler...

Milton Waddams: And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

LOL!!!!

3. I am afraid
I am afraid it won't be anywhere near as dramatic. They will just kick him out of every comitee. He'll be truly a party of one. Connecticut for Lieberman or whatever party he is in...

4. He shouldn't get any of the attention he craves.
Quietly send someone to his home and tell him he's no longer wanted in the Dem party.

right on the ass, hard enough to launch him to Haiti

12. I say wait until January, and just don't give him any assignment!
Somehow I KNOW if we try to do it now, the Pubs will find a way to screw up all the current committees. I realize it's not dramatic like you want, but JoeBoy will have NO HOME! The Pubs really don't want him, the Dems SURE don't want him, and Bernie Sanders doesn't want him around either! He'll be ALL ALONE with NO VOICE! I'm sorry for the people from his State because they'll get NO representation from their Senator, but TS! They were dumb enough to elect the idiot, so they'll just have to wait it out!

13. Nothing more than his phonecalls aren't taken, aren't returned, no messages taken,
he's asked to leave the room when the dems caucus, no invitations to lunch, etc. The modern day equivalent of a Puritan village collectively turning its back on the village pariah with the condemnation, "You are bane!"

14. If Dems can maintain a veto proof majority without his vote he'll be quietly
voted out of all his committee chairmanships. But, knowing the DCDems a veto proof majority means veto proof plus 1 or 2 without him.

15. Nobody who speaks at the Republic convention and
advocates the support of the Republic nominee deserves shit from Democrats.

In California, the Democratic Speaker of the Assembly recently kicked another Democrat out of the Capitol building in Sacramento because she refused to vote with fellow Democrats on a budget bill because it didn't include funding for something in her district.

So the Speaker called a moving company and this Democrat's office is now an an adjacent state building. But not in the Capitol.

Lieberman deserves worse.

16. The old Al Bundy method
run him into the door jamb, then toss him out the door.
Second choice is to send him to Iraq in a uniform with a gun to support his favorite war.

while they all swat him on the ass.

21. He thinks giving 100K to the Dem Congressional Fund will save his sorry ass.
That money needs to be thrown in his face and Reid needs to tell him to get out. What he did the other night, by calling himself a Democrat and simultaneously bashing Democrats was reprehensible.

27. Just strip him of his seniority

Let him do whatever he wants... once he no longer has any chairmanship over any committee. Take away his power in the Senate, and just let him be a roaming MOUTH.
