Joe the Turncoat and Harry the Indecisive

[Stingo]

Spineless Dems strike again. This time it is Harry Reid, who should have brought the hammer down on Joe “the Turncoat” Lieberman long, long ago. There was no obligation that Lieberman support Obama in the election, but there was an obligation that he not attack Obama. This after Obama campaigned for Lieberman in his tight race.

1. Either do a man all possible harm to leave him alone

Why spurn Lieberman when we might need his vote down the line? If he is willing to fall back into the fold why cast him out? Just from a tactical standpoint why?

4. Indeed. Joe is irrelevant, and ought to be left to rot unless some advantage accrues

to disturbing him as he moulders.

[Stingo]

6. I don't care

We stand for values, and Joe the Turncoat does not share those values. This is a moral issue for me. Get rid of him.

[bemildred]

7. Yeah, heck, who need to be pragmatic anyway?

I am all for taking away his perks, but after that ...

[Stingo]

8. One sets the tone at the beginning

It is time for the tone to be set for the entire Obama Administration. Read the article -- Obama campaigned for Lieberman after Lieberman begged him. Then Lieberman paid him back.

2. Hillary for Senate Majority Leader!

Thanks for the link to the Blog. The Blogster suggested the Dems. vote for Hillary for Senate Majority Leader. I second that proposal.

3. I've never been for Hillary for Pres

I've ALWAYS thought she would make a good Majority Leader, both to crack the whip and to be a spiritual leader.

5. I like it. nt

9. I think the biggest problem with The Silly Little Man is...

That he goes about his leaprous business with an arrogance that is stunning. He really thinks he has the whole of the Senate right in the palm of his hand and that no one dare deign to challenge him. These are truly sociopathic qualities and point to the fat that whatever deals might be cut with Joe, whatever favors he owes, he is not to be trusted.

It is way past time to teach him the manifold errors of his ways.

10. Scheisskopf?

My goodness, there is some irony somewhere here, but I'm not really sure where.

11. Let It Play Out

Lieberman's been offered a deal--probably Mafia-style. It's more than he deserves, but let Obama be the boss and give him some breathing room to work in.

EVERYBODY knows about Lieberman. He's being offered his one and only chance. Keep cool.

[Stingo]

12. I will accept that

But if it were my decision, Lieberman would be gone.
