Joe Lieberman about to have to pay the piper

This has to do with making sure all of the people in their party actually support their party.

That has absolutely zero to do with allowing a member of your own party to chair congressional committees while continually publicly trashing the party and it's nominee. I'm sure they'll be glad to work with Lieberman on issues he can help on, but you and I both know that neither political party would allow his shenanigans to go on and allow him party leadership.

Joe is not a member of their party. He's Independent. They threw him under the bus. He mde them pay. They were fortunate that he was willing to caucus with them to give them a majority. He has every right to be Independent. They needed him to get a slim majority. He needed them to have a chairmanship.

Obama is the head of the party now. Not Reid, not Pelosi. As soon as BO heard word about what the Dems thought to do to JL HE COULD'VE PICKED UP THE PHONE AND SAY (sorry, got stuck on caps---I'm typing this on my phone, too time consuming to correct it), BO could pick up the phone and simpl tell them, "Revenge is old politics, I promised America Tuesday that petty immature politcs is over."

I think keeping a campaign promise is more important than getting even.

You sound as dingy as Sara. The President has nothing to do with who chairs what committee. The senate Dem's gave Joe a chair position and it will be the senate Dem's who take it away from the traitor if they choose to. Joe is as phony as a $3 bill.

Well, I bet Sarah knows that "dingy" is pronounced "din-jee" and means dark or dirty like a "dingy, old t-shirt". Trying to insult someone's intelligence is more effective if you know the meaning of the words you are using and how to spell a woman's name that has been plastered all over America for the past two months.

President-elect Obama is the HEAD of the party. That means he sets the tone and direction of his fellow Democrats. He promised a change in politics, a change in Washington, and handling Lieberman in a forgiving way would show how quickly he has assumed control of Washington and would show how quick he can deliver on the promise to change the partisanship.

Phony is a party that betrays a guy during the primaries in 2006, forcing him to go Independent, approaches him hat in hand when they need him for a one vote majority, and then when he is expendable they want to take revenge for his support of the Republican candidate. He was complimentary of BO but simply said his support of McCain had to do with his expereince. Joe is an avid Israel supporter and believes like McCain that this war on terror is tantamount.

Joe is no longer a Democrat. He is an Independent not of his choosing but because of his party that betrayed him. If he were a Democrat and openly supported Mac, your position would make sense. And if Obama had not claimed that Democrats were going to bring change to partisan and get even politcs, it would make sense. I am just pointing out that BO could really prove to alot of us who are skeptical that he means what he says by using his powers of persuasion and his magnetic aura to get Reid to follow his rhetoric and put their actions where the party leader's mouth is.

Thank you for your lesson on spelling oh mighty one.
