Duers can forgive LIEberman if they want

[malaise]

I'll never forgive him. I hate that SOB.

[Olney Blue]

1. I'm with you, malaise.

[BlooInBloo]

58. As if it's even on the table.

[Oceansaway]

2. Durbins done in my book too...screw him...n/t

[IsItJustMe]

34. Durbin is one of the few liberals we have left in the Senate.

[tekisui]

3. I will never forgive him or say a knid thing about him,

but if he is the 60th vote to override a filibuster on healthcare or a judge nomination, I will gladly take it. It is an unlikely scenario, but the Democrats in the Senate own him now.

[Mike Nelson]

4. Hopefully he will lose

to someone in CT
(guess we're stuck with him)

[malaise]

6. Lamont for Senator

I wish Connecticut had a recall system. He's on Rachel with Allison now.

[Truth Teller]

5. It doesn't matter if we forgive him, honestly

Obama and most Democratic Senators have.

[malaise]

10. I know but I'm a

Truth Teller and I'm venting. :D

[Truth Teller]

16. Sorry

I'm in a bit of a malaise right now. :)

[malaise]

20. LOL

:fistbump:

[Donald Ian Rankin]

43. I very much doubt that.

However, it's currently in their - and our - interests for them to cooperate with him.

Which is not the same thing at all.

[Mind_your_head]

7. Well, ole' JOE is indebted to the democratic party now, eh?

Not what we democrats generally like to believe in, to be sure. But that's how this seems to be "shaking out".

If the Dems need that 60th vote.....well Joe will be the 'go to' guy. He is feeling "mighty important" right about now.... hmmmmm........

[goforit]

18. Indebted never!!!..With Homeland security, Bushco can attack the US anytime and

anyplace!!!

[Mind_your_head]

19. Heh! These 'old guys' have way too much power that they don't even have

enough imagination to use!

Bwahhahahaha

[goforit]

52. LOL!!!.....So true!!....The same ole fingerprint keeps showing up.

[Webster Green]

8. Yeah, and Reid as well..

What a pair of pathetic fucking cowards! :thumbsdown:

[malaise]

30. Couldn't say it better

Ah well let's pass the agenda

[Gold Metal Flake]

9. What will be the focus of his first hearings of 2009?

I think we should all ask that question of our Dem Senators a whole goddamn lot. If he has the job, what will he do with it? Ask Reid. Also, ask Obama, since he has no problem meddling in the Senate's business.

[elocs]

11. Yeah, don't forgive him. That'll teach him. Unforgiveness is so good for the soul, too. n/t

[peace13]

13. Forgive him or not...

I wouldn't take my eye off of him.

[elocs]

29. Well, he is kind of under the microscope now.

Just because he didn't lose his chairmanship now doesn't mean he cannot lose it in the future. It's up to him.

[MrCoffee]

39. Of course it does...there's no way they'll ever take it away from him

He was stumping for the Republican nominee for President. After this, Lieberman could stab Harry Reid's mother in an alley and still be welcomed with loving arms into the Democratic caucus.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

12. I don't think anyone here is "forgiving" him...

...it all comes down to tearing off a piece of his worthless coward ass TODAY versus looking at the big picture.

Make no mistake about it...I wipe my ASS with Harry Reid...but the decision didn't come from Reid.

Eyes on the PRIZE, my friend...eyes on the PRIZE.

Lieberman's day is coming. Today was not that day.

Enjoy the fried fish, and when the time is right, we'll kick that little scumbag to the curb.

It will be SWEET.

It will be worth the WAIT.

It's not going to happen TODAY.

But it WILL HAPPEN.

EYES ON THE PRIZE.

:patriot:

[malaise]

15. I understand everything you say

But I won't be forgiving LIEberman. Watching him will be like watching Bush. :puke:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

26. We are 100% on the same page. 100%.

The key word here is "later"...

...Lieberman's day will come. Today is not the day. No one...not you, not I, not the overwhelming majority of DU...is "forgiving" anything. We are simply focusing on the bigger picture.

:patriot:

[malaise]

28. I know bro

I'm focusing too but damn!!! :D

[Sebass1271]

22. whatever you say my friend to make us feel

better democrats... today i was so down.. i had lost all hopes for my party. I felt they didn't like to fight for their core beliefs and ideals.

Right now, i am feeling a little better with the win in Alaska.

I am NOT forgiving Lieberman. It is not a matter of forgiveness, it is a matter of remembering everything he said about our President elect during the election.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

27. See my response to malaise above...

...I have no intention...today, or at any time in the future...of "forgiving" Lieberman.

This WAS NOT Harry Reid's decision. As the saying goes, Harry Reid is about as valuable as tits on a bull. I think he's a spineless coward and a pitiful excuse for a "leader."

Obama gave Lieberman a pass because Obama has his eyes on the prize, the big picture.

Lieberman's day will come.

Anyone remotely familiar with my posts on DU knows that I'm not a Lieberman supporter in any way, shape or form.

His day will come.

That days is not today.

:patriot:

[goforit]

14. Hey guys!!! Ned Lamont was just on Rachel Maddow. Send $$$ to him for

his comming campaign against Looserman.
He said Lieberman always likes to play the victim......so let us give him what he wants.

[Sebass1271]

23. I live in Florida.. but i will donate my entire paycheck FOR

Whomever runs against him. My mother, sister, step-dad, brother in law all live in CT and i'll make sure they won't vote for Lieberman next time around. I have him targeted.

[malaise]

33. By brother and his family live in CT

Anyone but LIEberman - start the campaign

[Mnemosyne]

17. I still believe he was responsible for a close enough race to steal in 2000. asshat. n/t

[onenote]

42. interesting...can you elaborate?

[Mnemosyne]

54. Many people I know liked Al, but Lieberman creeped them out. I'm

not sure why, NW PA.

Several did not vote at all because of him. Nader and whomever the Constitutional or Libertarian party candidates received the rest of their votes, as I recall.

I voted for Al, whom I like, to stop the pig farmer, but couldn't stand Lieberman.

I'd bet it happened more than we know. jmho

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

21. Ditto.

[spanone]

24. yep

ready....aim....puke

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[bertman]

25. If Howard Dean thinks it's a good move to keep LIEberman I wil go along with it.

Grudgingly, mind you, but I'll give it a chance. Even though I hate that piece of shit excuse for a U.S. Democratic Senator.

[Individualist]

31. Good for you!

I'll never forgive him or the DLC that's protecting him.

[ZombieHorde]

32. Duers can forgive LIEberman if they want

Thank you for your permission.

[lamp_shade]

35. I'll never forgive him either, but I'm confident (very confident) that he'll regret

his recent actions, and this will happen sooner rather than later. Of this I'm certain and in the meantime I plan to just shut my mouth and wait for it to happen. I anticipate a rocky road ahead for our dear mr. lieberman, and some hard spankings along the way.

[GrizzlyMan]

36. I can't wait until the Homeland Security comm. is de-emphasized and later abolished

There are going to be a lot of hysteria addicts here eating crow. I've got news for you, Obama is smarter than ALL OF YOU.

[tavalon]

37. Are there more than a few outliers here ready to make nice?

I figure most of us are with you. I would only forgive if he had to grovel and there has been no grovelling, so no forgiveness will be forthcoming and if he's stupid enough to run again in 4 years, I will send much money to see him removed permanently from the Senate. He needs to go back to being a private citizen, post haste.

[mzmolly]

38. We needn't forgive him, we just need to remember the number 60.

We may need his sorry arse for an important vote on Health Care or ?? in the future. His wrist slap was as convenient as it was "cowardly".

[Egnever]

40. Yea cause lieberman is a depnadable dem vote right?

[mzmolly]

44. He has been,

yes. His voting record is largely progressive, sans the Iraq war.

[Egnever]

45. I guess we will see

I don't for a second trust him.

[mzmolly]

46. Smart on your part.

Neither do I. I consider him a useful idiot at this point.

Nice to see you Egnever :hi:

[Egnever]

48. You too as always Mzmolly

Your posts are always read with respect by me.

[mzmolly]

49. That's a very kind compliment.

Ditto. :)

[onenote]

41. And I won't support him if he runs for re-election

but I'm done worrying about his keeping his HSC chairmanship. Its done with. Time to move on.

[Dukkha]

47. i'll remember the ass kissers when he fools them again for the 12th time

and they whine "how can he betray us like that? I did NOT see that coming!" :eyes:

[malaise]

50. I don't think he can fool too many people anymore

-four more years and he's out of the Senate.

[renie408]

51. I don't forgive Lieberman. I hate him, too. I also understand that in the real world,

sometimes you have to work with people you would rather set on fire and watch run around screaming. And that revenge oftentimes gets you nothing but temporary satisfaction.

Do I like it? No. Can I live with it? Grudgingly.

[Stand and Fight]

53. Room for one more? n/t

[malaise]

56. Lots of room

:D

[Stand and Fight]

59. Glad to hear it.

There is no way in hell that Lieberman should be excused for his reprehensible behavior since 2000 --- the recent behavior has only been the icing on a very bitter cake.

[MadMaddie]

55. I don't forgive him

I am waiting for him to Self destruct....it's gonna happen, it's just a matter of time.

[malaise]

57. My identical wish

:D
