Before you get in my ass, here me out.  Would it not undercut Republicans who are preparing to respond with calls of pettiness and vindictiveness to what is now believed to be impending doom for Liebermann at the hands of Democratic leadership if he wasn't punished (at least officially)?  Would it not go a long way to promoting President Elect Obama's message of healing the partisan bickering in Washington?  Would it not give President Elect Obama more sway with moderate Republicans who know their future is NOT tied to the far right wing of the Republican Party?  Does anyone doubt that Liebermann is not going to vote with President Elect Obama on every domestic policy issue?  He still has his constituency to answer to, and they are still overwhelming left wing.  I, personally, would rather see Liebermann humbled and embarrassed by President Elect Obama's forgiveness and generosity than have him look like a victim.  Quite frankly that's all that was accomplished when he lost the CT primary. It backfired big time on the Democrats, and I think ousting him from his leadership position would hurt President Obama more than Liebermann.

Lieberman sucked up to the Republicans because they had the power.  They had the White House, they had Congress.  What better way to stick it to the Democrats who didn\'t support him than to suck up to the Republicans?<br><br>And the Republicans were all too happy to let Joe suck their dicks so he could have a little bit of power.<br><br>He knew if the Democrats regained control, he\'d lose his power, which is not in the chairmanships, but in being able to caucus with the Democrats but "threaten" to jump over to the Republicans.<br><br>That\'s why he was riding and dying for John McCain, not only because they are good friends, but because he\'d only retain his little bit of power if John McCain won.<br><br>Well, he didn\'t.  There\'s a new Democratic sheriff in town who has already hemmed him up.  The Republicans are no longer in control.  Lieberman could jump over to the Republicans and it probably wouldn\'t make a bit of difference.  Without being able to have influence over the Democrats or Republicans, Joe Lieberman loses his power.  That\'s why last week he was kissing Obama\'s ass --- he knew the GOP was going down and he didn\'t want to go down with them.  He wanted to curry favor with the Dem. side.<br><br>Neither side has much use for him and neither side can trust him.  Sheriff Obama and Deputy Reid need to completely grind him down to the ground before the Connecticut electorate finishes him off and the best way to do that is to keep Lieberman nice and close and let everyone know Lieberman is Obama\'s bitch.  They can\'t do that if they strip down Lieberman.</div>\

That being said, Nader IMHO is an egomaniac that keeps running for president just because he doesn\'t want to be forgotten (instead of what he contends, is an interest in serving the American People).  All his running off at the mouth is just the result of his feelings getting hurt because he got like 0% of the popular vote (statistically).

Going to the Rethug Convention and giving a speech, while flaunting his support for McCain (and in doing so, repudiated both Obama <i>and</i> Clinton, because it was early going; Clinton still had a shot at the nomination), has finally gotten Reid to the point that Lieberman has frosted his cookies and needs to be taken DOWN.</div>\

For starters, as Chairman, Lieberman would have subpoena power against an Obama administration.  That, my friends, cannot happen under any circumstances.  Not because I\'m expecting the new administration to be like the current one, but because Lieberman has nothing but contempt for Obama, and I\'m sure he\'d like to be a thorn in the flesh.  <br><br>It\'s time to strip Lieberman of his subpoena power.</div>\

Don\'t get me wrong I\'m no fan of Lieberman (I think I mentioned in another post about good ole Joe, how much I don\'t like his style of politics).  That being said, I don\'t think that it is productive for the democrats in the senate to take their long awaited revenge on the poor sad senator.  That that type of behavior could backfire on them in two years time (or perhaps sooner).  Bi-partisan is the word of the day, and no matter how much they (we) don’t like Lieberman they will have to work with him, because he is a senator  and that simple fact means he has a lot of pull simply has a result of how the Senate is constitutionally set up (filibuster anyone?).  It should be made clear to him, however,  that he has been acting out of pocket for quite a while now (like say, waaaay back in 2001) and that he needs to figure out who and what he is.</div>\

Healthy societies punish criminals by putting them in jail, even though it costs the good citizens money to do so=not a zero sum game. Good parents will remove their screaming brats from a movie they want to see or a family activity they want to be at=not a zero sum game. The reason they do it is not just to avenge what just happened, but to make sure it doesn\'t happen next time.

Would it not undercut Republicans who are preparing to respond with calls of pettiness and vindictiveness to what is now believed to be impending doom for Liebermann at the hands of Democratic leadership if he wasn\'t punished (at least officially)?  Would it not go a long way to promoting President Elect Obama\'s message of healing the partisan bickering in Washington?  Would it not give President Elect Obama more sway with moderate Republicans who know their future is NOT tied to the far right wing of the Republican Party?  Does anyone doubt that Liebermann is not going to vote with President Elect Obama on every domestic policy issue?  He still has his constituency to answer to, and they are still overwhelming left wing.  I, personally, would rather see Liebermann humbled and embarrassed by President Elect Obama\'s forgiveness and generosity than have him look like a victim.  Quite frankly that\'s all that was accomplished when he lost the CT primary. It backfired big time on the Democrats, and I think ousting him from his leadership position would hurt President Obama more than Liebermann.  Just sayin\'.</div>\

If Lieberman is allowed to continue caucusing with the Democrats, what\'s to keep him from snitching to Republican leadership about the strategies that Reid and other leadership develop?  What\'s to keep him loyal, after he\'s shown ABJECT DISLOYALTY  to those who brought him to the dance?<br><br>Let\'s face it - Zell Miller pulled the same shyt; only he did a wise thing.<br><br>He RETIRED FROM HIS SEAT.  Even though the Democrats at the time of Zell\'s defection, were in the minority and had no real means of punishing him for his defection, he was wise enough to know that if he stuck around, without changing party affiliation, Daschle and crew could give him HELL.<br><br>I\'ll give you another example; THE RUSSIANS.  Back in the days when Russians defected from their country, they understood in no uncertain terms, that they could not go back and resume life as if their defection never happened.  In fact, if they were caught by the KGB, it meant certain DEATH.  No defector has returned to the Soviet Union and lived to tell about it.<br><br>Lieberman should be treated as a defector.  He should not be welcomed back into the Party fold, now that McCain lost, as if he hasn\'t done anything.  He snitched on too many Democrats to mention and nothing happened to him (it\'s one reason why Maxine Waters and a few other CBC members couldn\'t stand his ass, and got on board for Ned Lamont early).  He cannot be treated as if there are no consequences to treachery, because there are.<br><br>If Reid doesn\'t corral him - you know what criminals do when they believe they got away with misdeeds.<br><br>THEY DO IT AGAIN.  That\'s why Reid\'s strategies are important - he has to send Lieberman the message that his shyt won\'t be tolerated, and what better way to do that than strip him of his committee chairmanships and allow him to change parties?<br><br>And yes, I highly doubt Lieberman will vote with Obama on domestic issues, because for Lieberman, it\'s not about doing what\'s good for the party and the country; IT IS ABOUT LIEBERMAN.  He is <i>that</i> self-centered and egocentric; if he wasn\'t, he would have accepted his loss in the Democratic primary and went the hell home.  He would have acted in the best interests of the democratic party.  <br><br>And Obama got "South Side" on his ass in the Senate Chambers.  You think Lieberman hasn\'t lain awake at night, figuring out how he would pay Obama back for that the first opportunity he got?  Unnecessary Senate hearings to harass every step Obama takes, does that, if Lieberman has subpeona power.<br><br>Lieberman has shown himself to be THAT CRAVEN.  Losing his committee chair neutralizes Lieberman because if he goes Republican, he has to start over in terms of Seniority in the party, and unless they bend the rules, he\'d have no power at all.  Which would be fitting for him - in the Senate, but has no power to do shyt to ANYONE.<br><br>I say that that\'s in Obama\'s favor because he will need as much support from the Senate as Bush got, and for far more worthy issues than Bush handled.  Bush was about being a dictator - Obama\'s about being a LEADER.</div>\
