I think we will find no opposition to the senior senator from Connecticut, Joseph Lieberman (LIP) being dispatched from any leadership role in the next Congress, and be barred from being allowed to caucus with the Democratic majority. If he wants to vote for our causes, so be it. However, he needs to be banished, and banished now.
Not only did he actively support John McCain for president, he did much else:
- Attacked President-elect Obama regarding foreign and domestic policy
- Addressed the GOP convention, and not only supported McCain, but attacked Mr. Obama
- Helped prepare Sarah Palin for her media rollout (I guess we should thank him for that one)
- Actively supported Palin, and praised the choice.
- Sought the Veep nod from the GOP
- Campaigned around the country for McCain.
- Never said a word as Obama was branded a terrorist, socialist, muslim, alien, or any of the other attacks against our next president.
We don't need Lieberman for any reason. The dems are not close to 60 seats, nor are we close to losing a majority. The mid-terms are looking good right now.
I say there should be a speedy and public rebuke of Joementum by the Democratic leadership in the Senate (and House), and that President-elect Obama not stand in the way.
