POLL What's your view on today's decision about Joe Lieberman?

[Jackeens]

[Why Syzygy]

1. I feel sick watching the Cabinet fill up with DLCers.

Queasy and uneasy.

[YOY]

2. Like McCain would have picked better.

Fucking DLC Republican should-bes are better than anything McCain and Palin would have vomited.

[Sebastian Doyle]

9. No, actually they're much worse

Because they'll push the exact same corporatist & Likud sucking bullshit policies that the Repukes do, but then Mush Limpdick and Sean Hannity will call it "Liberalism" anyway. :puke:

[stray cat]

3. I prefer the extra vote for the dems to the satisfaction of revenge

Particularly since Obama seemed to want to be magnanimous in victory

[PBS Poll-435]

4. The smarter approach

nt

[WinkyDink]

5. LBJ is spinning.

[mvd]

6. Not happy, but I've been wrong before

I was worried about if he could hold up to Rovian tricks. Obama did. After the Repuke convention, I wanted him to attack more. He didn't need to. So he has earned trust.

[Dr Fate]

13. I feel the same way, to a degree. Still, Obama never said he wanted Joe to hang on to his chair.

All he ever said was that Joe should retainhis position...

I think there is an effort to paint some DUers as anti-change or even Anti-Obama b/c they dont think Joe should keep his chair...

[mokawanis]

7. I keep watching the clip of shithead at the RNC

and I remain pissed as hell. I'd like to see him punished, damn the consequences. However, I am willing to listen to arguments and change my view.

[mvd]

8. Yes, I thought Obama should have remained neutral

even though I could see him not calling for Lieberman's ousting. But the Senate's decision really disturbs me because I know Lieberman will not be loyal.

[DevonRex]

10. I'm pissed off. But I'm not mad at Obama about it. And I'm not mad that he

disagrees with me. I think his position is honorable. And I think he has a way to deal with Joe Lieberfuckingtraitor.

Even so, I would have liked to see Joe lose his chairmanships.

Funny how the two things can coexist. I don't like Lieberman staying put AND it's cool that Obama disagrees with me.

[political_Dem]

11. It makes me question how moral these people are.

They should have done the right thing and kicked Lieberman out. He's already a Republican anyway. His caucus vote wouldn't be worth it.

[Dr Fate]

12. Did Obama ever say that Lieberman should retain his chair?

If not- then what does this have to do with Obama's judgment?

(Note to mods-Not stalking-just interested in Lieberman threads)

[galaxy21]

14. Considering he votes Dem 90% of the time, its foolish to want to see him out of the party

Yeah, his personality sucks, but you have to take what you can get.

[gkhouston]

15. The Senate Dems will regret it -- and probably do already.

Joe will go on playing his games until he's stopped -- either by getting his chair or his seat yanked, whichever comes first.

[Individualist]

16. Not surprised

[QueenOfCalifornia]

17. I picked

the red one.

I am angry... real angry. :argh:

[slackmaster]

18. Other - I haven't heard about it and don't really care

:nuke:

[TripleKatPad]

19. I am numb

I fully expected it. Anyone paying attention to the Dems these last two years should have, too, IMHO.

Truth is, I have so much anxiety about a brazillion other things going on, I just can't spare even one ounce of emotion on this particular situation.
