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.
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.
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...
Mr. McCain played biggest gamble of his life by picking Gov. Palin. If it was his own life to be endangered by his decision that would be okay. He is playing Russian roulette with future of the US as well as whole world. He really put his presidential ambitions in front of country.
The last couple of week’s performance of Palin very clearly demonstrated that she is nothing but a pretty Beverly Hills Hillbilly. She has no substance, no culture, and no education. She is a perfect example of an Alaskan Homesteader. Her appearance on the national scene reminds me of a Homesteader's town visit once a month for a shower, laundry and groceries. This is not Vaudeville Theater. The presidency of the USA is a gravely serious business.
Last time (8 years ago) when we acted with our "folksy" desire to see a real down to earth, not very bright President, look what happened. If you really want to repeat same mistake because your resentment over Hillary episode, abortion, religious fervor or any other reason, go ahead and enjoy the ride. The whole world is watching and wondering are we going to screw it up again.
Most influential Republicans and conservatives are cautioning us about Palin and McCain. I am asking independent minded people of this country please; please don’t vote with your emotion. READ, LISTEN, COMPARE before you pull that lever. In this election, we all have a very serious responsibility. Let us do it right.
A very good letter to independents on the state of the union including where we've been, where we are now and hopefully where we will be in the immediate future politically.
Between the far right and extreme left are people in the 'middle' common-sense Americans, of all political affiliations, who are more concerned with the issues facing our Country than strict partisan ideology. In this election, like most others, it's these people who will ultimately choose our next leader.
Listen to Bob Courtney talk about why the smears against Obama swung his vote.
