1. As it should be.

Lieberman endangered our president elect and embarrassed CT.

[elocs]

2. CT had a chance to deal with Lieberman in 2006. Next chance is 2012.

Lieberman is not going to resign and who is going to censure him? The Senators who allowed him to keep his chairmanship?

[nomaco-10]

3. The dem state party not the US senate. n/t

[elocs]

5. What power does the Democratic state party have over an independent U.S. Senator? n/t

[Larkspur]

10. After Lieberman moved to a new home in a new city, he registered as a Democrat

the rest of his family remain Unaffiliate.

[elocs]

11. Other than electing him or not, what power does the state of CT have over Lieberman?

I don't know. Can someone please explain?

[Larkspur]

12. The state of CT can't do anything to Lieberman but the CT State Dem Party

can censure him. That's another slap on the wrist.

The only thing to do now is sign the pledge -- http://www.thenation.com/blogs/actnow/384437 -- to help oust Lieberman in 2012, should he decide to run for re-election again.

[elocs]

16. I kind of thought so. The Lieberman situation sucks, but to be pragmatic

I think we need to judge him by what he does for the next 4 years. I am not sure, but I think that just because he got to keep his chairmanship for now does not mean it is safe for the next 4 years either.

17. None

There is no recall provision for Reps or Senators. The House and Senate both set their own rules for who they seat as members.

[BlooInBloo]

9. Yup. We all have to thank the jackass fuckwipe CT electorate for Joe. Fuck them.

[sallyseven]

13. The republicans voted for Lieberman

not the democrats. They did not support their candidate. They voted for old Joe instead. I wish people would get the facts straight.

[BlooInBloo]

15. It's always funny how the deluded keep parroting that....

From very simple arithmetic performed based on CNN's numbers way back when:

[calico1]

24. Most Democrats, including me

voted for Lamont, our Democratic candidate.

But thanks for the insult.

[SuperTrouper]

22. You need to correct it: the jackass fuckwipe REPUBLICAN electorate

who along with the independents chose LieberRat because Ned Lamont got most of the Democratic vote

[SuperTrouper]

21. We dealt with him and defeated him in the Primaries. He was a total selfish moron who created

a Party for Himself and ran as an Independent and he was elected with overwhelming GOP support. :mad:

[John Q. Citizen]

4. How is it that Lieberman can resign from the state party when he ran against the state party's

candidate two years ago?

That is as stupid as what the Dem US Senate Caucus did.

When will people wake up and defend themselves from scam artists like Joe Lieberman?

[Jennicut]

6. My state is killing me. He already resigned in 2006. He ran as an independent

How is he part of the CT Dem party still? And doesn't our state Senate have something better to do?

[MaineDem]

7. I doubt the state Senate is dealing with this

It's the CT Democratic Party. And I remember reading somewhere that he is re-registered as a Dem in CT. I didn't believe it but that's what I was told.

[Jennicut]

8. God, he is? Loserman is a sneaky one, isn't he? Kick him out of the CT Dem party then.

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

25. I doubt if we'll kick him out since PE Obama has been so

forgiving. But we damn well better censure him at the very least.

This may be on the agenda at the Democratic Town Committee meetings this month. Mine is next week and I won't miss it.

[bdamomma]

14. let his own state deal with him.

[zulchzulu]

18. Perfect!

Keep it local. The blood stains stay there and not on the congressional floor.

Where do I give money?

[demokatgurrl]

19. They have the power

to vote him out. Let's see if they do that.

[Alter Ego]

20. I thought Lieberman wasn't accountable to the CT Democratic Party

seeing as how he abandoned them.

[Cha]

23. Good! Let Connecticut Dems

take care of him.

[Dr Fate]

26. In other words, Lieberman never had any choice but to caucus with DEMS, chair or no chair.

I think the Senate DEMS lied to us again, frankly.

Either that, or they were too spineless to call Joe's bluff- going GOP in Blue CT was never an option for Joe- he would have lost re-election in total disgrace if he had become an Obama obstructionist....

[xultar]

27. But he ran as an independent and won. Lamont didn't win. They can't ask him to resign...

well they can it just doesn't mean shit.
