Obama admin's OPM, headed by a gay man, reportedly blocks lesbian from getting health benefits
He attacked Obama, who had the decency to campaign for him, and Traitor Joe did promise NOT to attack Obama when she shamelessly spoke at the Rethuglican convention, and broke his word.
I will be disappointed if the Dems vote to keep this dishonorable snake in his undeserving position. The Dems should show how traitors to the party must be dealt with. If Liebermann in his arrogance thought that everything will be great despite his shameless brown nosing, then he
should feel sorry.
pigs. ;>)

Dennis Miller is a punk, along with O'Reilly. They deserve each other.
I know politics is about what is expedient, but, this is about his core beliefs. He does not support the Democrats agenda, he obviously does not support President Obama and most importantly will continue to feed inside information to the Republicans. When he failed to get the Democrat nomination and ran as an Independent he made a choice and as an Independent is free to vote what ever conscience he still possesses but he is not an elected Democrat. The only resemblance to a Democrat is his close resemblance to the last three letters---RAT.
are they just keeping him so they'll have 60? cause he's not worth it.
His chairmanship must be taken away because he is the one who sacrificed it for a place at the McCain " victory" table. There is no rational justification or justice in allowing this man to continue his Democratic charade. For the good of the party (and the country) he must be appropriately dealt with. He can go where he wishes to go as long as the people of Ct. put up with him.
Minnesota
he won't be getting the senate leadership: reid, schumer, durbin, leahy. that's bad news. except for bayh, he probably won't be getting more of the 19 current senators that supported lamont. he won't be getting sanders or dorgan. he won't be getting any of the 6 confirmed freshman senators, since by backing mclame, he effectively campaigned against all of them.
joe needs 27 and currently has 8. i count at least 27 against. i think he's gonna lose that chair.
Joe's a vengeful snake who comes from a family of vengeful snakes who have had no problem disowning their own children and throwing close friends to the wolves. A surprising number of people are scared of Lieberman, and for good reason. The fact that Dodd is supporting him in this, after he screwed Dodd to punish him for his (tepid at best) support of Lamont, is very telling.
Schumer, Bayh, Reid et al will be pressuring everyone they can to stand by Joe.
You know... I don't see the sense of voting in a Democratic majority if they're all going to be practically as crap as the other side of the room. No wonder their numbers are so low.
the decision to put it to a vote is reid's. by putting it to a vote, reid's telling everyone, "let's kick this douchenozzle out". and only a really tone-deaf leader stages a vote he knows he's gonna lose. a good lawyer never asks a witness a question he doesn't already know the answer to. joe is history.
Why didn't he?
1) to wait for the still open races to finish
2) to allow everyone's favorite drama queen to go gently into the night and not run crying to the cameras, which is why he initially offered joe a lesser seat on the veterans affairs committee instead of the top seat on homeland security.
well, once a drama queen, always a drama queen. lieberman said "no deal" and forced a full vote. now it's all or nothing for joe, who by the way hasn't shown much talent lately for picking winning hands.
I'm in Connecticut and I'm a Democrat. We CT Democrats did not want Joe representing us; we voted him out in a fair primary election. Joe formed his own party, ran, and won.
Joe Lieberman is the Connecticut for Lieberman Senator from Connecticut. He has no place in the Democratic caucus and he has no right holding the Chair of ANY committee, much less an important and powerful one.
Harry Reid has chosen to spit on the wishes of Connecticut Democrats and made us accept the traitorous garbage that is Joe Lieberman in the Democratic caucus.
I'm going to become a proponent of storing the nation's nuclear waste in Nevada.

Two years ago, Connecticut Democrats voted for change in Joe's Senate primary against Ned Lamont.
Despite pledges to caucus with our party and refrain from attacking our presidential nominee, Senator Lieberman has threatened to leave our ranks and even joined the Republican Convention to attack Barack Obama in a keynote speech.
He even campaigned against a "filibuster-proof Democratic majority." Make no mistake, when offered a chance to stay in the caucus at the expense of his chairmanship, he countered with more threats in a nationally televised press conference.
The decision is now up to the Democratic Senators on the Steering and Outreach Committee. They need to hear from us to ensure that they relieve Joe Lieberman of his Homeland Security Chairmanship -- and don't give him another Committee chair.
Lieberman has not investigated one meaningful scandal in his role as chairman during the Bush Administration, but we are certain he will be happy to cause problems for an Obama Administration.
It's time for Joe to go.
Getting kicked to the political curb would be the least of his worries.
