I find myself, for once, agreeing with the moronic pachyderm-(woe)man. Please Joe, state your true calling as a GOP'er! Disavow the so-called Democratic majority. I'd rather the fire cleanse the big tent of pseudo- and stealth- Republican'ts than allow that orally submissive fuktard Reid play the supplicant foil to Fuktard-in-Chief, Shrub.

Then I find myself confused. I find myself thinking about me, myself, and I, more than anyone else, which puts me high in the running for the role of Joe Lieberman. Maybe I should run for President of Israe- I mean - 'Murica. I think that I am what we (I) should be for us (me), which is to say, I know what we (I) need, I mean, I know what we need to save us (me) from the horrors facing Isra- I mean, Amurica.

and get in line to be a member of the kumquat committee. you sure do know your government, eh elephant?

I'd say it's an odd position for me as an independent Democrat to be giving counsel to Republicans. But look at the polls. John McCain is the only Republican who can defeat the Democratic candidates in November.

Actually Joe, I'd say it's damn odd for any kind of Dem to be actively working to defeat the Democratic candidate in November before that candidate has even been chosen. But it's pretty much expected for a Republican.

So go ahead and switch Joe, you know you wanna.

The one and only GOOD thing that came out of Bush stealing the 2000 election was the fact that we are not facing a Lieberman VP run right now. Assuming we would have had Gore for 2 terms, we, as Democrats, would be stuck with Joe Lieberman as our incumbent candidate. I just ate dinner and the thought of that made a little of it come back up in my throat. ugh!

Douchebag in chief. And that's the best thing I can think of to say about him. The Democrats should dare him to switch his caucus (He can't switch parties because, you dolt (Elephantman/woman I am talking to you), he is NOT a Democrat, he is officially a member of the Lieberman for Connecticut party). He won't switch, because he knows the Republicans are about to suffer a wipeout of epic even legendary proportions. And then he would be left high and dry the petulant little mandarin he is.

Joe Lieberman. and if he thinks that running with McCain is going to get him within spitting distance of the only office big enough for his Ego, than he'll sell out state, party, and country to get it.

Seriously. How did this guy even get in the door in the first place?

Somebody needs to point out another ugly truth behind Lieberman's latest ploy to try and get himself out in front of the latest parade that will yield him another free pass of guest appearances on right wing cable TV. It was less than a decade ago that this clown was being sold to the voters by none other than the DLC as one of it's rising stars and how if other elected oficials wanted to rise in the ranks of the Democratic Party establishment, they needed to copy Lieberman's every move while taking notes if they had to. Thank God the likes of Howard Dean showed up to at least take on the no-backbone corporate sell-outs at the DLC and ditto for a guy like Ned Lamont who had the guts and the will to offer voters a chance to do themselves better than this never ending glory chaser.

Here's a real reason why many Democrats don't like Joe. Contrary to a substantial amount of Democratic voters, Lieberman seemes to believe that the defintion of "bi-partisanship" is to constantly capitulate to right-wing Republican spun positions while accepting large financial assistance from huge lobbyists and Republican special-interests in an effort to sustain and potentially further his own career. The only guy Lieberman is fit to endorse is Zell Miller.

I saw recently where the DLC's latest shining example of how to operate properly, Hillary Clinton, doesn't believe it would be necessary to yank Lieberman's choice committee chair assignments from him despite his repeated attempts to undermine Democratic positions or momentum at almost every turn. That's the DLC establishment in action as usual. Just more proof that anyone with any connection to the DLC has absolutely no political courage whatsoever. If it comes down to Clinton against McCain in November, then I'm actually for once hoping for a 3rd party candidacy. At least then there might be a chance for someone who doesn't have the stink rotten smell of Lieberman all over them.

As the resident troll (you know the one, the guy who is a Bushevik first, Republican second, and American last if at all), has been urging, Lieberman should switch. This would at last show fully his true colors, if nothing else. It would, however, do nothing at all to the balance of power in the Senate. This goes to something folks like your typical "conservative" do not understand: rules. The Senate, you see, operates according to them (indeed, the only extent to which a "conservative" understands the concept is in using them to block virtually every legislative act of Democrats - remember that the Senate Republicans already hold the record for the number of filibusters ever filed in any congress - with another year still remaining). When the Senate was organized for the 110th Congress in January of 2007, the organizing resolution passed lacked the provision present in the 2001 resolution that allowed for re-organization of the Senate should a member switch parties (this was done at the time to reflect the fact that Democrats technically had control of the chamber when the resolution was passed due to Al Gore still being the VP, and it was understood that with Cheney coming in, the chamber would be 50:50, and was thus needed). Due to this, should Lieberman shift to being a Republican, Harry Reid would continue to be the head of the Senate's controlling Democratic delegation, and Democrats would continue to head the Senate committees. Them's the rules. Tough luck, Elephantman. Switch Joe, switch!

In any case, Joe will be less than a footnote after the 111th Congress convenes, and the Democrats have a solid, working majority that can actually accomplish the business of the people over the objections and obstructions of the America-hating thugs of the Republican caucus.
