ST Politics Poll -- How do you solve a problem like Joe Lieberman?

Posted by znufrii, elitist (aka znufrii) Oct 21 '08, 07:47

I find the idea that congressional leaders would actually let him keep his chairmanships and seniority in the democratic caucus to be categorically absurd.

Kick him to the curb where he belongs.

Responses:

I agree and I'm suprised he didn't decide to switch parties by now. - Krusty Oct 21, 07:53 5
- Becuase he's not in line with the GOP on the vast majority of issues? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 07:58 4
  - except the issues that underpin their entire power structure. - znufrii, elitist Oct 21, 07:59 3
    - I'm sorry, when he votes 90%+ in the Democratic preferred position, I'll stick with the idea he's not in lockstep with the GOP. - Will Hunting Oct 21, 08:02 2
      - that 10% only serves to marginalize the other 90%. - znufrii, elitist Oct 21, 08:11 1
        
        All I hear from you is "lame justification lame justification lame justification." The GOP won an election in 2000 without needing Iraq & this broad - Will Hunting Oct 21, 08:29
If he was elected by his constituents, he must be doing something right. -- nm - nubby Oct 21, 07:49 6
- fair enough, but should he continue to be rewarded for constantly throwing the Democratic party under the bus? -- nm - znufrii, elitist Oct 21, 07:50 5
  - Sure he should. The Democrats need him more than he needs them. - Will Hunting Oct 21, 08:10 1
    - they needed him to be the 51st vote. Not anymore. -- nm - znufrii, elitist Oct 21, 08:11
  - I guess I'd have to know how Jeffords was treated after he switched parties. -- nm - nubby Oct 21, 07:51 2
    - Jeffords was given full seriority in the Democratic caucus, including a chairmanship, when he switched over -- (link) - znufrii, elitist Oct 21, 07:55 1
      - Hmm. - nubby Oct 21, 07:56
