  Do what's right, dammit!

  I am sick to death of everyone advising the Democrats to think strategically, tread the middle ground and not upset the apple cart. In other words, don't kick out Joe Lieberman (who's as much a Democrat as Zell Miller), because the Republicans might take back the Connecticut seat if he splits the vote as an independent! Oh, we're afraid to follow you, Bluto! We might get in trouble!

  Enough already! If the Dems haven't figured it out by now, let me spell it out: you're in this position, losers of the last 3 elections, because you DIDN'T take a principled stand, DIDN'T reject political bullshit and do what was right, DIDN'T show real leadership and DIDN'T have the balls to drive a stake in the ground and say, "Screw political gamesmanship, we're going to show backbone and fuck what anybody thinks." Idiots, after six years of Bush and the GOP-wrought disasters we've experienced, that's what people want!!!!

  So you did the right thing in getting rid of Joe L. Worry about the election when the election comes. Finally, at last, the Democrats might be starting to understand: Americans are sick of politicians. We demand leaders with guts and honor and principles. We don't want Joe Lieberman. And if for some reason enough of us are stuipid enough (again) in November to leave the GOP in control of Congress, we'll keep working it until we take the whole government back in 2008.
