What About Accountability?
Listening to Bayh do his blah, blah blah about LIEberman on Rachel. Yes he went over the line but it would be counter-productive to have a bitter Joe and ....if he resigns then we'll have a real republiCON take his place. LIEberman went so far over it the line is no longer visible. So where is the accountability for the guy who not only mugged you but stabbed you in the back over and over? We've had 8 years of that and it has practically destroyed this country. Won't the dem leaders ever learn. Will it take outright murder on the senate floor for them to hold someone, just one person accountable for their actions. And yes, I know the arguments about the votes, but for once will the dems ever do what's right opposed to being politically expedient?

1. I believe the Dems will remove Sen Lieberman from his chairmanship(s)
Even if Bayh votes against it.

5. Lieberman should be the example of Democratic power.
We are not used to having authority. Now would be a good time to flex a muscle, and let the RW know that we will not be bitch slapped without consequence.

6. Accounting? What's that?
Oh that's the little thing that keeps the balance sheet honest and it's not only for numbers and money.

7. There You Go
Next thing you know, if Stevens gets in, they'll back down so he won't be bitter too. :sarcasm:
