Joe L...Does the End Justify the Means?? Its that Old Question...Is he worth it?
We have given up PRINCIPLE....Joe is a Turncoat...FUCK HIM...he is a TRAITOR of the WORST SLIMEY KIND...WE TRUSTED HIM....AND NOW WHAT?

So we can have 70 votes? Of course its a big deal....but we have given up Principle....in the long run...others will follow...not play by the common rules as Joe did....They watch him get away and think they can do the same....this is not fucking good in my book.

Somebody should slap his silly ass face of his....he is a :puke:

1. I'm sick of the wimpy assed congresscritters.
Next time some asshole tells me there is no difference between the democrats and the republicans I'll think of Judas Lieberman and I'll have to agree, as bad as I'll hate to finally do that.

2. Just posted an OP Ct. to censure and ask for...
his resignation from the state dem party.

Let Ct clean up they helped make. Ct dems that voted for him over Ned Lamont can deal with him now.

3. it was the smartest way to handle the situation.
Think about it: Obama now owns Joe, and Joe knows it. The Senate knows it. The whole Congress knows it. Joe has been neutered and rendered a reliable Democratic vote. The only way he votes against the Dems is on some issue that he had formerly taken a stand on. There will be no more new trouble from this guy.

By foregoing the opportunity to be vindictive, Obama's taken Joe's potential excuse to do the Dems any more harm. He won't have a reason to jump to the other side of the aisle now. Let him stay until Connecticut has a chance to wipe the slate clean.

4. In Kaneohe we have a sayin....NEVER TRUST THE UNTRUSTWORTHY
Obama should not have trusted this asshole.....its like trying to convince GOOPers...like talking to them trees yonder...not gonna work...

I think Obama is a wonderful guy...smart beyond his years...but he is not God...not is he the ultimate wise guy...eventually.. he has to delegate because of information overload(no one can know everything)....

Its a mistake is all I am saying...a zmall one...

6. Well
IMO, why not boot him from his critical committe (on which he's been terrible and on which he could cause some real trouble down the road) and let him stay with the Dems otherwise? Sounds like a tough but fair and reasonable compromise.

Instead it's more Dem weakness.
