1. He wants Lieberman? What position? Doggie style!

McConnell has long been the subject of the Larry Flynt rumors. If only they were true, or 'out'...

[MNDemNY]

2. He can have his sorry ass.

[DebbieCDC]

3. Take him off our hands please

You want him, you got him.

[peacebird]

4. he can have him. Good riddance.

[Avalux]

5. He can have him. PLEASE let McConnell be the recipient of Joementum (LOL!!!)

:rofl:

[GreenEyedLefty]

6. Goodbye and good riddance.

[TomInTib]

7. Just go away, Joe.

Just go the hell away.

That's my position (besides Bent-Over-the-Towel-Bar for the last eon).

[ThomWV]

He can have him, but Harry better put him on the National Sewer Maintainance subcommittee

As the ranking minority member.

Take away every meaningful committee assignment he ever thougt of and let his ass hang out in the breeze.

[gkhouston]

8. Why are we pretending he doesn't already have him? n/t

[rateyes]

9. How much would we have to pay you, Mitch, to take him off our hands?

I'll contribute.

[sharp_stick]

10. He can

[Beregond2]

11. For what? A doorstop?

[katty]

12. take the nasty article away!

[Vickers]

13. Like, officially?

:eyes:

[WiMu]

14. I can't stand Joe, and just wish he would go away,

that said just a little word advice for Joe, those that change sides are never truly welcomed by those that they change to. They may want you for your vote, but you will never be fully accepted into their embrace. Just think of Benedict Arnold, he was given a command by the British, but he was never really one of them.

[IsItJustMe]

15. Take him Mitch, but always watch your back.

[whistle]

16. Let him go, we don't need a turncoat in our ranks

[Kip Humphrey]

17. His Mossad handlers can't be very happy with ol' Joe.

[kenny blankenship]

18. I have a wheelbarrow

the tire may be flat, but the trunk of my car is quite spacious.

Whenever you're ready to take him in, just say the word.

19. Depends on the final count: having Lieberman could give us one more seat on all Committees

What people are not focusing on is that the allocation of seats on Senate Committees is based on the proportion of seats held by the two parties. In other words, in a 51/49 Senate, most Committees have a one-member Democratic majority. As the size of the Democratic majority in the senate increases, so does the size of the Democratic majority on each committee. So by keepin joe in the caucus, it could mean one more seat on most if not every committee, depending on the final numbers.

From that standpoint, I tend to want Joe to stay a part of the Democratic caucus, even though I'm adamantly against giving him a committee chairmanship (or any chairmanship of any consequence).

[rebel with a cause]

22. He won't stay without a chairmanship or other desired positions.

Joe is still blackmailing the Democrats, if he stays he stays on his conditions. What good is it to keep him if we have to sell our souls to do so.

Let him go, and deal with the situation that arises.

[onenote]

23. as I said, I wouldn't give him anything of consequence to keep him

but I might give him something. He's not getting a committee chair if he bolts to the repubs either, so even a crappy piece of power might be enough to call his bluff and, if so, the entire party benefits.

[Myrina]

20. Holy Joe is supposed to be an "Independent" ...

... so NEITHER party should touch him, IMO.


:shrug:

[Tarc]

21. Good fucking riddance
