Senate Democrats have voted to keep Sen. Joe Lieberman in the party's caucus. The Independent Senator from Connecticut supported Republican John McCain during the presidential campaign.
This is one of those "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situations. On the one hand, if you get rid of Holy Joe, it'll come back to haunt you in 2012. I can see the headlines now: "DEMONCRATS HATE JEWS AND ARE SECRETLY PLANNING A NEW HOLOCAUST!!!" On the other hand, if you keep Two-Faced Joe, it shows that you aren't really any better than the GOP about ousting corrupted politicians.
I could see the validity of Obama's argument. Making the traitor a martyr could be worse than just letting him keep his chairmanship roles and dealing with him.
This guys a total traitor and lacks the moral character we need in a Democrat controlled Congress to push forward much needed changes.
I really hope Reid and Pelosi drop him from the caucus like a "bad habit" as soon as possible. I wouldn't want him (Lieberman) having access to DNC emails and various secret documents not knowing where his loyalty's lie.
Well, it figures...Holy Joe can't even be forced to leave because he could use it to his advantage to show how "evil" Democrats really are. It's like that old saying: the devil you know is better than the devil you don't.
Sen. Joe Lieberman says he will support President-elect Barack Obama despite backing Sen. John McCain.
Really, Benedict Arnold would like to keep his prestigious Congressional committee positions now?
He's dirty, a traitor and he deserves everything he gets from the Dems. He turned on the party, he backed McCain and led in the viscous personal attacks against president-elect Obama.
Sorry John, you made this bed of lies and deceit, now you have to lay in it...
After meeting with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada), Senator Joe Lieberman (I-Connecticut) didn't discuss the future of his relationship with the Democratic party.
Now there's the surprise of the century -- Ol' Turncoat Joe switching fully to the Dark Side! Seriously, who would do business with him? He's more two-faced than Batman's Two Face. You never know what side he'll be on next, and you never know what kind of sensitive information he'll spill.
On Fox News today, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) said that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is behind in the polls because of the economy. He then said that he hoped the House passed bailout legislation tomorrow because it would be "good for the country. And, frankly, it would be good for John McCain."
