Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) is increasingly irritating a group of Senate Democrats with his independent bid for Senate, according to The Hill, and aides close to the senators say Lieberman may be stripped of his seniority in the Democratic caucus if he wins the general election in November.
Lieberman "shocked" some Senate Democrats when he suggested that those calling for a reduction in troop numbers in Iraq are bolstering terrorist groups.
The issue of Lieberman's seniority becomes more important if Democrats win control of the Senate. If Lieberman kept his seniority, he would take over as chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which is primarily responsible for investigating the executive branch.
It's about time the Democrats drop a set and send 'ole Joe packing over to the GOP party where he belongs.
The guy is a liability if he has any working knowledge of party level elections plans leading up to this years election.
I compare him to a spy in the midst and no one really knows where his loyalties lie right now.
Given the fact that he is rambling rhetoric similar to both Karl Rove and Vice President Dick Cheney, I would think it's almost a slamdunk to say at this point Lieberman has defected to the other side and the party must now cut him off and eat the loss.
I wouldn't give him or his staffers access to internal documents, memos or anything of value that could be used against the Democratic Party come this November.
The party as a whole needs to look forward and start protecting itself and plugging leaks.
The answer is simple, shut him down and make him truly an independent politician.
Take this loss as a whole and protect hopeful good returns and the movement of change leading into this November.
