HOW MANY REPUBLICANS WILL LIEBERMAN ENDORSE BEFORE REID TOSSES HIS ASS OUT OF THE CAUCUS?

>

Marty Meehan doesn't belong in this picture with these 4 hypocrites

Because he's a member of the Senate Democratic caucus, Holy Joe Lieberman (I-CT)-- who was defeated in his bid to win the Democratic nomination for Senate in 2006-- holds the chairmanship of the powerful Homeland Security Committee. He has been using his position to slyly support Bush's agenda and has wrecked Democratic Party initiatives to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Harry Reid should have tossed him out of the caucus long ago but his formal endorsement of John McCain easily should have been the last straw.

A few weeks ago the Connecticut Democratic Party invoked the Zell Miller Rule and took away Lieberman's superdelegate status. Instead, Lieberman has offered to go to the Republican Convention in Minneapolis and talk about why McCain would be better than either Clinton or Obama. It's revolting that because of Reid he will be doing that as a member of the Democratic caucus.

And then there's his revolting endorsement of rubber stamp Republican Susan Collins (R-ME) who is running a vicious and desperate campaign against Democratic Representative Tom Allen. Shumer sure speaks up when he is trying to scare grassroots candidates out of races where he wants self-funding millionaire DLC creeps to represent the party of Franklin Roosevelt. But on Lieberman campaigning against the DSCC candidate... not a peep squeak.

Today we have Lieberman positioning himself to jump into another Republican campaign, that of the Bush-supporting Chris Shays. Let's see if Rahm Emanuel and Chris Van Hollen can talk some sense into Shumer and Reid. Shays' opponent, Jim Himes, is one of the DCCC's top priorities and also one of the shining examples of what the Democratic Party should be looking for in candidates. Watch him oozing his fake persona on TV today:



If you would like to register you're feelings about Lieberman, may I suggest a contribution-- and even $5 or $10 would be useful and welcomed-- to the progressive Democrats who have been dissed by Bush's favorite senator? You can donate to Tom Allen and Jim Himes at the same time right here.


UPDATE: LIEBERMAN ON THE ATTACK AGAINST CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS

The Foundation for Defense of Democracies is a right wing front group, running partisan attack ads against Democrats all over the country. As expected, the odd assortment of Neocons and neo-fascists running the show include Steve Forbes, Jeane Kirkpatrick, Jack Kemp, James Woolsey, Newt Gingrich, Gary Bauer, Eric Cantor (R-VA), Frank Gaffney, Charles Krauthammer, Bill Kristol, Richard Perle, Zell Miller and... (get this): Joe Lieberman and Jim Marshall (D-GA). Since the group has launched a series of vicious and untruthful ads against Democratic congressmen like Chris Murphy, Joe Courtney and Ron Klein, Lieberman and Marshall should both be stripped of their seniority within their respective Democratic caucuses.

Dear Howie,

Just gave a little chunk to both Himes and Allen per your suggestion. It's personal with me and Joe (you see, I was his roommate at Yale -- and liked him as a friend then). I saw that he was a natural political talent and back then, in college, predicted that he would be the first Jewish President.

Thank God, I was was wrong. We used to speak or write regularly before he voted for the War on Iraq and Gonzales and the reactionary Supreme Court judges (and I continually e-mailed him my true thoughts about what he was doing). Haven't heard back in the last few years (except from his campaign committee) after he turned out to be such a sickenly smarmy war weasel.

Keep up the good fight for justice and the true American Way.

Best,

It's the least I can do.
One of my missions in life is to always donate to the opponent of anyone Joe Lieberman endorses.

Sen. Schumer, Rep. Engel, Rep. Marshall and DOnna Brazile have all resigned from the board.

I think those of us from CT need to keep spotlighting and writing to the local newspapers about Holy Joe's GOP adventures. He and Harold Ford are endorsing Shays against Jim Himes. I said it before and I'll say it again. It's despicable. No party should run against its own. I can expect this type of behaviour from Lieberman--since he's just plain crazy, but Harold Ford as head of the DLC?!? Please tell me what's going on.
