5. About fucking time.
We no longer need Lieberman to get a majority, so now we can safely tell him to suck it!

7. Make Joe choose a caucus
Strip him of any comittee assignments and chairmanships.

That way he can't claim he was tossed out - he just won't be a position to do or know much of anything.

Of course - in the alternative - he can go over and continue to break bread with his new buds on the wrong side of history.

8. and to think u guys want to get rid of him
before him and nancy have even had a chance to change their ways under president obama...

people should really wait to start calling for heads...

they had valid excuses , but they wont have them anymore once obama takes office...

if they are still lame and do nothing... THEN its time to make a stank

38. Bullshit.
Nancy had no valid excuse to cast away the biggest lever congress has over a sitting administration. There is no valid excuse to take impeachment off the table so publicly.

19. So, if Reid finally does this...
how many days, weeks or months should we give him, free of criticism?

20. It's easier to have a backbone when you have 57 or 58
votes in the Senate than when you have only 51, or so it would seem.

39. I don't think making the Republicans go on the floor and filibuster
a bill they don't like instead of retracting in the face of a filibuster threat is asking the impossible.

24. Bye, Bye Traitorman....it makes me want to hurl that I ever voted for this man as VP
but live and learn and the lesson is now learned and will NEVER be forgotten.

WHAT. A. FUCKING. TRAITOR.

Reid is taking care of step one and I have full faith that the people of CT will take care of step two.

28. Good!
Joe, Not helping us if you disagree with the guy is fine. Working for the other side is a different matter, you backstabber. Reid is gonna rip you away from your positions, and if you want some power, you better hope the Republicans will respect a turncoat. Good luck with that. You're finished, Joe.

33. He should be placed
on a stock so we can throw shit at his face.

Thank you Reid, this asswipe has been holding us
hostage for too fuckin long, about time.

Two things, will never forgive him for

1) What he did to Gore in 2000 election and

2) Campaign and giving that awful speech at the
RNC convention.


Bite you in the ass..... Good riddance

35. Connecticut Democrats are still looking to censure him as well
Could be a vote on it in December here in CT.
