Senators,

If you keep this man in the caucus then you are telling the world and in particular other Dem. Senators who might have ambitions of going ROGUE, the way Sen. Lieberman and Zell Miller did, that they can do so with impunity. I don't believe Sen. Lieberman would have had the guts to do what he did had you publicly punished Zell Miller for his similar actions. Your allowing Sen. Lieberman to remain in the caucus will have a disastrous effect on the whole party caucus cohesion, I believe. Thank you.

Best Regards
Lieberman should be STRIPPED of his chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee right away! Why is Sen. Reid even giving this traitor that chance to relinquish the spot? Sen. Reid please strip this wacko of this position immediately! Thank you.
Imposters, moles, or what...

And,if you think Lieberman made an ass of himself at the GOP convention, you haven't seen anything...

His banker/media hound in arms...

Michael Bloomberg, New York City.

MOTTO:

"Trashing anybody, anything which does not include us".

Even nuttier than speaking at the Republican Convention, was Lieberman's appearance at Hagee's Christians United for Israel. I think perhaps you need to be a Jew to fully appreciate the utter irony and weirdness of this.  If there is a rapture Joe, your a$$ will be in the lake of fire with the rest of us Jews.  LOL. 

Addressing a group of Christians run by Rev. John Hagee, a paster who was repudiated by John McCain in May because of racists remarks that Hagee had made.  The group that Lieberman addressed is called "Christians United for Israel.

Prior to making this address. over 40,000 signatures were delivered to Liebermans office from Jews like me asking Liebermann to not speak at the event.  The Executive director of J Street spoke out and said that Hagee and his supporters bear no resemblance to the the consensus of the vast majority of American Jews who support a negotiated two-state resolution with Israel and Palestine.

Among Lieberman's sickening lines from that speech, the two that induced my gag reflex were these:  1)  "I am your brother Joseph."  and 2) He compared Hagee to Moses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it were not so insane, it would be laughable. Maybe Lieberman is going for the most despised man on this planet.  Here is some text from that speech to Hagees followers.

Jilting Joe Lieberman shoud be:

1. stripped of whatever "seniority" he has in the senate.

2. Removed from all committee chairmanship positions he holds.

3. Removed from all committees in which he is a member.

4. Barred from speaking in the senate.

5. Allowed to represent his state as long as they care to elect him.

6. Encouraged to join the republican party.
I watched the Tuesday Republican convention with an open mind and was left with the following thoughts.   Read More »
Why is Nancy Pelosi just now feeling the need to threaten to help strip Senator Joe Lieberman of his committee chairmanship.

The real question is - why has Senator Lieberman been permitted to occupy what is rightfully a democratic party chairmanship when he has obviously not been a democrat for some time?

Could Pelosi be feeling a little heat from Cindy Sheehan???????
John McCain refer to Lieberman as "the best democrat he knows...???" 07/30/2008, CNN. No one cared to correct this absolute blunder...Where were their pundits?

FOI on medications(s) digested regularly by the

presumed presidential candidate(s).

Is this too much to ask?

Bar marking lower than a snake's belly
___________________________________________

He does hold the Democrats in the Senate hostage as being part of the Democratic majority of 51%.

But he pulled two tricks during his DLC sponsored 2006 run against Democrat Ned Lamont that Ithink were lower than a snake's belly.  First He had flyers about Ned Lamont, the Democratic nominee that contained outright lies--just like the Republicans do.  "Ask Ned Lamont why he Hired The Former Republican Party Chairman To Run His Senate Campaign.”  Of course Ned Lamont didn't have a former Republican party Chairman running his campaign.

Also Lieberman and his campaign repeatedly told voters that Ned Lamont's campaign (the Democratic opponent), or someone who supported Lamont was responsible for crashing the Lieberman website before the 2006 election.   Then we found out that Joe Lieberman, the darling of the DLC who was supported by DLC members over the DEMOCRATIC nominee in 2006 knowingly repeated again and again the lie and innuendos about his site being crashed by Lamont after they had been told by the FBI that they (Lieberman) had crashed their own site. 

He was also assisted by the Attorney General of Conn. Lieberman and the Attorney General of Conn were told after an FBI investigation a WEEK BEFORE the election that it was the fault of the configuration of the configuration itself, the poor design, that crashed the site. They knew a week before the election and never corrected their accusation.  In fact there is a video on the Internet of one of the spokespeople from the Lieberman campaign.THEY KNEW A WEEK BEFORE THE ELECTION AND THE NEWS HAS JUST RECENTLY BEEN RELEASED DUE TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT.

The cartoon below by John Klossner says it all for me about the way I feel  regarding Lieberman.  Let us also remember that Joe Lieberman would not be where he is today if it were not for some members of the DLC who supported his campaign for CT Senator against the Democrat, Ned Lamont.  Al From, a Democrat and member of the DLC managed Lieberman's campaign.  Bill Clinton, a member of the DLC is reported to having said that he didn't care who won--Lamont or Lieberman.

I detest Lieberman and the DLC who helped to put Lieberman in office. However, the fact is that Lieberman does tend to vote with the Democrats on every other issue than the war.  And I believe that he makes up our majority count for 51% in the senate (since he bills himself as as a democrat leaning independent)

I think that is the only reason that our Democratic Senators have continued to play nice with him.  If we sever all ties with him, he may come entirely out of the closet and burst forth in all the glory of who he really is, voting on ALL issues with Republicans.

Strip that ass of his seniority today!  He is using it to assist a Republican nominee for President!  He should have been stripped of it anyway when he ran as an independent!! The only reason he wasnt is because he is a DLC pet.


PRESSURING THE SENATE DEMS TO STRIP LIEBERMAN OF HIS COMMITTEES AND SENIORITY - IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING:Put pressure on the Senate Dems to strip Joe Lieberman of his seniority and committees with the Democrats, which he is using to help elect McCain while attacking Obama.


If the Dems can't or won't deal with a slimeball like Lieberman, why should we expect them to deal with other complex and/or controversial issues? So if you have a Democratic Senator[s] call them now and tell them to pressure Harry Reid to strip Lieberman from any of his associations with the Senate Dems.


And if they tell you they would lose their majority if they did this, tell them the Jeffords Rule would prevent this and besides, why would any of them want to be associated with someone like Lieberman because his stench rubs off on all of them.

Some 2,000 extremely pro-Israel community and religious leaders will meet in Washington on July 19, fan out across Capitol Hill and, in effect, tell their legislators: If you want our political backing, you must support the Jewish state — no ifs or buts.There won’t be a single Jew among the citizen lobbyists. They will all be evangelical Christians, mainly ordained and lay pastors, embarking on the first major public action of the newly formed Christians United for Israel (CUFI).The founder and leader of the group is the Rev. John C. Hagee of the 19,000-member Cornerstone Church of San Antonio, Texas, and a televangelist whose broadcasts reach millions in the United States and 120 other countries.

Senator Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut is scheduled to appear as the featured speaker at the July conference in Washington

I liked Hillary Clinton from the first moment I saw her in December 1991, before I even knew her name. I caught the tag end of a talk she gave in a small caucus room next to Florida Democratic Party Convention at Disney World. She talked knowingly and intelligently about her unnamed husband's health care and education programs.

But, people change over time. There was a time when Joe Lieberman went to Mississippi as an attorney during Freedom Summer (the cutting edge of the left).

Now Hillary Clinton is trying to prove she is super hawk in the middle east.

Hillary Clinton is trying to claim the Florida delegates without ever campaigning in Florida.

But, the most troubling sign of the "Lieberman Syndrome" is that Hillary Clinton supporters in Florida are preparing to demonstrate at the DNC HQ in Washington. There are two possibilities:

1. The all expense paid Washington trip is tacitly supported by the Hillary Campaign and secretly funded by one of her supporters.
or alternatively,
2. The all expense paid bus trip to Washington is being paid by Republicans (and laundered through LULAC and other groups) and the Clinton campaign should be disassociating itself from the demonstration at DNC HQ.

Is the demonstration at DNC HQ a prelude to Hillary Clinton declaring herself an "independent Democrat" like Joe Lieberman? Stranger things have happened, especially in Florida.

I hope she shows up in Florida and explains herself, but it does not look good from here.

  DLC Member, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal (Attorney General of Connecticut) may have knowingly withheld information in order to assist Joe Lieberman in winning the 2006 race against a real Democrat—Ned Lamont. It was recently revealed by Keith Olbermann (April 9, 2008) that the FBI sent an email to Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal regarding the conclusion of their hacking investigation and that the Attorney General did not make this information public--even though it was critical to the Democrats in his state. 

[In the summer of 2006  Independent Joe Liebermann and his campaign made a big stink, playing the wronged victim and  accusing his Democratic opponent, Ned Lamont, of hacking into his site and making it crash.  A big FBI investigation was initiated, of course at the expense of the taxpayer, and the results of the investigation yielded that it was the poor design of the Liebermann website that caused the crash and not foul play.] 

An email was sent from the FBI to Attorney General Richard Blumenthal regarding their conclusion of the hacking investigation.  The email was sent out on October 25, 2006, about a week before the general election.  The only reason it saw the light of day was because of an FOI request. 

Several journalists are quoted to have interviewed Blumenthal after Oct. 25 but before the election and Blumenthal is quoted as saying “as yet we’ve reached no conclusions.”  It would appear that members of the DLC, including Lieberman, thought that it was OK to let the voters go ahead and believe the smear campaign that Lieberman had launched—SHADES OF Hillary Clinton’s lie about people from Obama’s campaign meeting with the Canadians to say that NAFTA was just campaign talk when it fact, it was someone from HER campaign that did that.  The Canadians have apologized to Obama, but not Hillary. 

Not only has she not apologized for her "misspeak", I've heard that she is even repeating the untrue story about Obama in Pennsylvania. Now that’s audacity , or is it mendacity?

Lieberman won by a lie.  Yes, that same DLC darling who recently endorsed John McCain.  He and his campaign repeatedly told voters that Ned Lamont's campaign (the Democratic opponent), or someone who supported Lamont was responsible for crashing the Lieberman website before the 2006 election.  

Now we find out that Joe Lieberman, the darling of the DLC who was supported by DLC members like Bill Clinton and Ed Rendell and even endorsed by Al From over the DEMOCRATIC nominee in 2006 got elected in great part by a HUGE lie that he knowingly repeated again and again.  He was also assisted by the Attorney General of Conn.

Lieberman and the Attorney General of Conn were told after an FBI investigation a WEEK BEFORE the election that it was the fault of the configuration of the configuration itself, the poor design, that crashed the site. They knew a week before the election and never corrected their accusation.  In fact there is a video on the Internet of one of the spokespeople from the Lieberman campaign.

THEY KNEW A WEEK BEFORE THE ELECTION AND THE NEWS HAS JUST RECENTLY BEEN RELEASED DUE TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT. 

Here are more of Lieberman's lies that he used to get elected.  I wonder if Mark Penn was his campaign manager?

A lot of people like to remember Bill Clinton as a Democratic President.  That he was, but more than once he acted like he was not as has his wife.

Former president Bill Clinton joins Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (D-Conn.) in Waterbury, Conn. Clinton worked on Lieberman's first state Senate bid.

Ned Lamont, Lieberman's Democratic opponent in 2006 was very antiwar.  Lamont won, inspite of Clinton's endoresement of his DLC Bud, Lieberman.  After Lamont won the nomination, Clinton was reported to have said that he didn't have any problem with either candidate winning.

Here is a direct quote from Bill Clinton and his support of Lieberman:

""Joe Lieberman was wrong on the bankruptcy bill, wrong on not filibustering Alito, and wrong on Terri Schiavo. But his position on the war is pretty similar to Hillary's and that's good enough for me."

And  you think the Clintons are anit war--either one of them?  I doubt it.

It's a fact.  For example we have the DLC to thank for Joe, Republican, Lieberman.

Al From, DLC founder and CEO along with other key DLC members supported and worked on Lieberman’s independent Senate bid in 2006.  Al From, sly crocodile that he is, says now that he is “very saddened by Senator Lieberman’s choice” [to support McCain.]   Too bad that these same DLC members didn’t think it was important to elect a Democratic Connecticut Senator back in 2006.

Bill Clinton himself, another DLC member was quoted in 2006 as saying that said he “wasn't too concerned about who won the election between Ned and Joe.” 

The DLC as you know is not an “official” group that is sanctioned by the Democratic party so please don’t misunderstand that I’m criticizing the Democratic Party because I am not.  The DLC are arrogant, self-proclaimed leaders of the Democratic Party whose membership is made up of approximately 37% of Democrats in Congress.  Bill and Hillary count among the membership of the DLC.  Those who do not are among the great Democratic stalwarts like Barbara Boxer, Patrick Leahy, Russ Feingold, Barack Obama and Ted Kennedy.
