Is Joe Lieberman’s true allegiance to the American people or to the security of Israel, no matter what cost to Americans? Is he an Israeli plant? It seems as though what makes him tick is protectionsim of Israel at any cost to anybody other than Israel. I am not against Israel, but I am not interested in having a possible Israeli plant in a powerful position in our government. We have enough work to do without having to deal with a possible spy in our government. He backed McCain due to McCain’s pro-war stance, plain and simple. What does this have to do with the American people other than the American people are the ones who have to die and pay for all this. Joe Lieberman has never served in the armed forces himself…his Dad got him out of it. Is this a chicken-hawk they talk about?

First, Obama is now the ‘leader’ of the Dems.

Second, as I read somewhere else, the larger the Dem caucus is the higher number of Senators they can have on each committee. Now they have a margin of one more Dem on each committee. If they have 58 or 59 people on the caucus they might have 3 extra dems on each committee.

Yes, I certainly believe that Lieberman should pay for his perfidy. But, do you really want him in the Repub caucus ?

I think you have a point. The anger against Joe Lieberman goes back to 2006. He was not the only Senator who continued to support a forever occupation. There were others. But even then he was unique as a Democrat in going out of his way to taunt those whose support he demanded.

Joe Lieberman is a skunk of the first order, and should have his sorry ass kicked to the curb. It is my feeling that Lieberman has been extremely bitter ever since the netroots pushed for, and managed to get, Ned Lamont the nomination instead of him (since Obama won the Presidency, and has changed the face of campaigning forever, I think that given a similar situation, that Lamont would have taken the election if the race was held post Obama instead of pre.) Anyway, I don’t doubt that a bitter Lieberman sees Obama as a product of the same netroots political action that rebuked him, and has been out for revenge ever since.
