Joe Lieberman has lost the race. I think it is time that we all start to come to terms with how incredible this is. Out of nowhere, Lamont surged to pick up the lead, and now he delivered a blow that will be felt around the country. One huge thorny issue remains, what to do about a man who has betrayed his party. Joe Lieberman, in his bid to run as an independant, has thrown aside the wishes of the Democratic party, discarding them like so much trash.
One thing I know for sure about Joe Lieberman, never trust a man who stabs his friends in the back. He is a backstabber. He is disloyal, and he doesn't respect Democrats enough to abide by their wishes. I don't think he should be allowed to spit in our face like this and get away with it. One thing is for sure, for Joe Lieberman, he has sealed his fate. He will never be trusted again. He will never be a force in Democratic politics again. It would not suprise me one bit, that if he wins, that he would take the job of Secretary of Defense, turning this seat over tot he GOP.
If he continues we ought to bear down on him like a freight train. He is an affront to the party. He must be dealt with. We ought to use every means at our disposal to make him feel the heat, and squeeze him so hard that he drops out of the race.
1. He ought to be stripped of his committee asignments.
2. He ought to be barred from using the word Democrat in any context. If it takes a lawsuit, so be it.
3. Anyone who we have leverage over, who crosses the line to supprt Joe should be smacked...or worse.
4. He ought to be cut off and ostracized.
We need to do everything possible to stop him.
