...as HOW he did it. Lieberman didn't simply endorse him, he stumped for him and parroted the Republican garbage. And so many times when McCain was spewing his vitriol on the stump, we saw Lieberman behind him, cheering him on. That is grounds for divorce.

Lieberman lied down with the dogs, now he can get up with the fleas.

......And did I mention that Howard is first?

Leiberman ran for the senate and was beat by the Democratic Party in Connecticut. he ran as an Independent and the republican party never seriously contested that because they felt Leiberman was 'one of them'.

Also the "senator" was on Sean Hannity in 2006 and after stabbing Gore in the back in 2000.

He shouldn't be even let near a committee, much less even chair one. I can't and am sure you can't say how you really feel about the dubious senator Joe Leiberman.

I have mixed feelings. 

While I hate Joe and veiw him as more of a moderate republican than as a democrat.  Obama has pledged to work bipartisan.  I also expect that there will be "true" republains in Obama's cabnet. Rejecting JL and forcing him to caucus repub would  hardly be a bipartisisan step.

Rejecting JL would be hightly popular among liberal democrats such as myself.  It woud be seen a petty and childish by indepentants who wrestled with the choice until the end.  What the republican base thinks is irrelevent, but those folks for whom the choice was 60-40 or 51-49 it wil be seen as the democrats acting childish, vindictive and power hungry.  Both to those who voted Obma and those who voted McCain.

If a republican who supported McCain wanted to switch parties would we welcome him or her?  I dare say yes we would.

Furthermore the republican party right now is without a national spokesperson.   McCain, Bush nor Palin will fill that void.  If JL was to caucus repub he could easily step into that role.  I woud rather see that be a vacumme for a while. 

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. 

My heart says Joe go <string of bad words here>, my pragmatic brain says "welcome back, lets work together to make the country great."

elections have consequences.  sen joe lieberman needs to suffer the consequences of his actions.  if he had endorsed john mccain in the statesman-like manner that colin powell did sen obama, i could accept that.  but lieberman is a self-righteous little man who could not restrain himself in sticking it to the dems. 

Change the Globalists Can Believe In

David Edwards and Andrew McLemore, writing for Raw Story, report on the Clintonite John Podesta, chairman of Obama’s transition team. “The high voter turnout and landslide electoral college victory spell a clear path of American support for Obama’s message of political reform, Podesta told Fox News’ Chris Wallace on Sunday,” report Edwards and McLemore.

Podesta told Wallace they are “moving aggressively to try to build out that core economic team, the national security team.”

“I think his charge to us is that he wants a broad diverse cabinet, one that’s built on first criteria excellence,” Podesta said.

When asked by Wallace what some of Obama’s first decisions might be to prove his dedication to changing Washington, Podesta mentioned that Obama will review all the executive orders issued by President Bush and determine which ones should be repealed.

The co-chairman said Obama would probably overturn the ban on stem cell research as well as orders concerning healthcare and energy transformation.

Obama’s First Appointment: An Ominous Portent

Obama’s first appointments have confirmed the grimmest suspicions about the new regime.

	The naming of the vicious thug Rahm Emanuel as the new Martin Bormann of the regime has caused much consternation, even among the netroots or nutroots crowd over at the Daily Kos.

The naming of the vicious thug Rahm Emanuel as the new Martin Bormann of the regime has caused much consternation, even among the netroots or nutroots crowd over at the Daily Kos. Rahm is a former member of the Israeli Defense Force whose ruling passion is that he is a warmonger. In 2006, when Rahm ran the Democratic congressional money machine, he made sure that only warmongers committed to the open-ended prosecution of the Afghan and Iraq wars could get any Democratic Party financing for their races. Many contests were lost as a result. A tragic case was that of grass-roots antiwar activist Christine Cegelis of Ohio, who was defeated in the Democratic primary by Tammy Duckworth, an Iraq war veteran who advocated endless hostilities there. Duckworth lost to the Republican by several points. If the $300,000 Rahm gave Duckworth had been shared with anti-war candidate Bob Bowen in Florida, a Democratic seat could easily have been added. Rahm is also a product of the filthy and corrupt Illinois bipartisan Combine, which I have described in my books.

Also, give Harry Reid the heave ho. Joe Lieberman is playing the system (the same wat he did with his switch to an Independent) just to keep his butt employed and both are using long term  political friendships to assist each other. If he stays, this will be one of the biggest scams in present day politics and it will make the Senate looks even more suspect and weak. It also marks a smudge against Obama with Joe the Fox in the hen house.

Hello! Lieberman actively campaigned with McCain on the campaign stump and approved all the falsley spewed hatred and misgivings about Obama and now just because Dems want to try and gather 60 seats that they will keep this backstabbing SOB?

If Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are that foolish, desperate and dumb, get rid of all three. Obama does not need this crap with Joe the Indian Giver, starting out his Presidency.
