Would you like Lieberman replaced as senator?

[Moloch]

[Neil Lisst]

1. yes, but only by a Democrat!

If a different Dem can win the primary and election, I would be for that, but only if that is the case.

[Usrename]

2. Zell Miller is a bafoon, he revels in his bafoonery.

Joe Lieberman is a treasonous bastard and must be cast out.

Heads on pikes!!!

[louis c]

17. Joe Lieberman is Miller Lite (Zell, that is)

Defeat Miller Lite. Connecticut need a real Democrat.

[LSparkle]

3. Buh-bye, Joementum ...

He should run as a Repug.

[Freddie Stubbs]

6. He's not going anywhere

No one in Connecticut has the guts to run against him.

[LSparkle]

13. Why is that? Everyone who's not DLC does nothing but complain ...

Why is everyone so scared to run against him? (Does he keep KKKarl on the payroll for dirty tricks?)

[Freddie Stubbs]

14. Perhaps because he is the most popular Democrat in CT

Being popular among the voters is the strongest insurance against strong challengers running against you.

[AntiCoup2K4]

26. Democrat my ass!

Treasonous whore is more like it. :grr:

[Usrename]

16. No one can raise a penny to campaign against him.

From either party. He has unlimited fundraising capabilities to crush any opposition, and everyone knows it, so they will not support any opposition.

We need to slay this giant.

We need direction and unity to save our country, and this message would provide both. Victory against him is the only hope I see to begin changing our future. Even impeachment will not save us. These are the same thugs from the Nixon era. They will not stop. They will not police themselves. They must be defeated.

One brave soul is all we need to begin the fight. Someone from Connecticut.

Heads on pikes!!!

[GreenArrow]

4. I'd like Lieberman publicly

horsewhipped.

[Walt Starr]

5. If it came down to a 51-49 Senate with the Dems in charge

I fully believe in my heart Joementum would jump ship to the Repukes to make it 50-50 giving the Repukes control of the Senate.

[Freddie Stubbs]

7. What then, is his motivation in staying as a Democrat?

As a member of the minority party in the Senate, he cannot become chairman of of committee.

[Walt Starr]

8. If he jumped ship now, he could lose his seat in '06 for no gain

The Repukes would give him nothing. Not a single thing, to jump ship now.

If, on the other hand, it meant the difference between being the majority and the minority party in the Senate, he would have his pick of committee chairs.

If he jumped ship now, he'd lose support in Connecticut and could possibly face tough opposition from the Democrats in '06.

[Freddie Stubbs]

10. CT elects a lot of Republicans

The Governor, as well as 3/5 of the House delegation is Republican.

he certainly has the chance to jump ship in 2001 and change the majority. Certainly the GOP would have rewarded that. But he didn't. He stayed a Democrat, and cast the most important vote a Senator can, for majority leader and control of the chamber.

[Walt Starr]

11. HE expected he had a good chance at the Democratic nomination in '04

He no longer has any chance whatsoever of being nominated for the presidency in the Democratic Party.

He's biding his time and will jump should it be a 51-49 split after next year. Mark my words.

[Usrename]

Jump ship???

He's already jumped off the precipice of fascism! He is not one of us.

[tx_dem41]

9. Since he is among the most liberal Senators on sooo many issues..

including abortion, labor, budget, gay-rights, civil-rights, health, etc....I can't see that happening.

[Walt Starr]

12. Only time and the outcome next year will tell.

I suspect he's been courted pretty heavily since his fiasco of a run at the Democratic nomination in '04.

[Autumn Colors]

15. Yes and I'll help make it so

I'm a CT dem.

[LSK]

18. damn, cant vote twice n/t

[Skip Intro]

19. Yes. By a Real Democrat. Very much so.

[kohodog]

20. I'm from CT and unfortunately there isn't enough sentiment to dump him.

But we'll work on it. The progressive contingent here hates him but that won't be enough. (R) Jodi Rell will probably be re-elected too. Amazing in a state that is dark blue.

[progressoid]

21. I'd like him replaced as a Yak or a Dromedary.

[Fluffdaddy]

22. Democrats is a big house party. We have room for likes of Lieberman

[Greyhound]

24. No, I'm afraid we don't. He has no redeeming features beyond

being re-elected by mostly white DINOs and the nominal D after his name. He has not passed up one opportunity to screw over the people in favor of his corporate masters. Sure he votes with us on the placebo issues that have no real impact us, but votes in favor of big $ over little people every chance he gets.
With Democrats like him, who needs re:puke:s?

[ihelpu2see]

23. Yes, from a democrate in CT

[Faryn Balyncd]

25. yes

[BJW]

27. it's his perpetual whiny voice that really bugs me!

[Hubert Flottz]

28. Joe is a sore loserman for real!

Mad at ALL the democrats that didn't vote for him for pResident in 2004! I guess from the numbers that I saw, that would be just about every democrat in the country he'd be pissed at.

[against all enemies]

29. Every Republican quotes Joe these days. The Republicans

best friend. If Cheney leaves maybe Joe could finally be the VP.

[Sam_Lowry]

30. Please, let me see him and Zell

playing golf far faaaaar away from Washington (fingersX!)

[Number9Dream]

31. Does Lie_berman even have a clue how many ...

...in his own party think he's a traitor?

[Heewack]

32. I don't know.

Did you see that poll in the WP on Sunday? I would link to it but I'm not at the computer that has my WP password.

It was something like 70% of the country felt that criticism of the war by Democrats hurt troop morale. Even amongst registered Democrats by 55%. 70% also felt the criticism was for merely politcal gain. Maybe ole' Joe is just following the polls.

Search WP for "Sympathetic Vibrations"

[Moloch]

33. I should call his office and read them the results of this poll...

Lieberman is a disgrace.

Violence is ok as long as its not in a video game.

What a completely fucked up world we live in.
