How many more "Liebermans" are left in the Democratic Party?

[Stoic]

Just in case I hadn't mentioned it lately, JOE LIEBERMAN IS NOT A DEMOCRAT!

Now that that's out of the way, I was wonder who you think still inhabits the bowels of the party that is "Libermanesque"? I nominate Diane Feinstein and recommend that we give her the same treatment that Holy Joe got.

[SteppingRazor]

1. There are certainly Democratic senators that aren't as progressive as others...

Pryor, Landrieu and both Nelsons spring immediately to mind. But I would qualify that by saying that none of them have been as constant or as clamorous in their support for Bush's foreign policy as Lieberman is.

2. Feinstein was rolling off my tongue. Rahm Emmanuel. Steny Hoyer.

[Ninja Jordan]

17. please..

Our House whip is the same as Joe Lieberman? put the pipe down.

[robinlynne]

20. Ninja, ahve you read about the amount of work he did to get rid of rpogressive candidates,

no, not even ptogressive, just anti-war candidates in 2006? One of his top priorities is keeping progressives out of congress, hence unrepresented. He works at it as hard as the republicans do.

[rateyes]

3. Senator Clinton.

Same votes. Just less vocal about it.

4. It doesn't matter

All that is important is that we identify who they are and run them out of office so we can return to being the minority party as quickly as possible.

:eyes:

6. no, what really matters is winning at all costs..

and if that entails compromising what would tradionally be looked upon as Democratic values by electing blue dog dinos that vote with the repubs most of the time so that the dems can have their precious majority on paper, then so be it. yay team!

[cuke]

7. no, what really matters is losing at all costs

And if people die as a result, so be it

[frylock]

11. people are dying..

all the while the dem leadership sits on their nuts hoping for a platfornm to run on in 2008. That strategy is going to backfire, and then you can blame the true prgressives who have grown sick of the bullshit and decided to take their vote elsewhere.

[cuke]

13. Well, as you said "So be it"

If you don't care about people dying, that's your perogative.

[frylock]

16. yeah -- i don't give a fuck for my brother who will be redeployed shortly

[cuke]

18. That's your perogative

Can't say that I understand it

[frylock]

19. it would appear that you don't understand jack shit..

so i'm finished with your obtuse ass.

on edit: should i hit alert for you?

[Romulox]

21. Check the profile of the poster you are arguing with--1200 posts in 12 days...

And most of them involve inane word games. I would say reasoned debate with this individual isn't in the cards.

Nice user name, btw. :toast:

[frylock]

22. thanks for the heads up..

nice PDA, by the way. Did it come with the teleportation device?

[rateyes]

10. Rah Rah!! You're sarcasm is noted, and agreed with. nt

[LoZoccolo]

12. Who votes with Republicans most of the time?

Care to give any voting records, or are you just spreading the Big Green Lie without even being convinced of it yourself?

5. I think a better question would be

Who in the party is NOT a Lieberman, ie a "middle of the roader" who, twenty years ago, would have been classed as a hard right-wing conservative?

I expect the list of names will be much shorter.

[cali]

8. Lets start with the 75 of so progressive caucus dems

they certainly wouldn't have been classified as hard right wing conservatives 20 years ago. Actually, a few were in office then.
And sorry, Pelosi would never have been classified that way. Let's move on to Feingold, Kennedy, Kerry, Harkin, Leahy, Boxer and others in the Senate.

9. With every one that leaves...

two seem to take his place.

It's Night of the Livng DINOs.

Dawn of the DINOs.

Congress is like a bad zombie movie.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

14. A whole lot...

IMO.

I read an article here that showed Evan Bayh votes with the Dems maybe 50% of the time -- 50 fricking percent!

There are a lot of new Dems who are barely Dems -- but, we are supposed to be happy to have them onboard so we can have a "majority" in Congress. A whole hell of a lot of good that does when they vote like the GOP. :(
