Here's my E-mail I just sent

Honorable Senator Reid,

I just found out that Joe Lieberman voted with the republicans AGAIN. It's time to strip him of his chairmanship. He's NOT a democrat and has shown it time and time again by obstructing what the American people (SEVENTY PERCENT OF US) want. Get rid of this guy Harry PLEASE.

[Ian David]

1. Not until Vitter resigns. n/t

[WCGreen]

2. If they strip him of his chairmanship, he will bolt the caucus and

give the control of te senate over to the GOP...

You know, sometimes it's better to cool down an little...

FYI...

[SoFlaJet]

3. I thought there was a

provision where the republics couldn't get control in this session WC....am I right about that?

[WCGreen]

4. There is no provision for that...

Remember when Jeffers went independent and caucused with the dem's back in 2001...

The power in the Senate switch to us for the remainder of he term...

[Benhurst]

7. You are right, sort of. Actually it was a special resolution which

allowed the Democrats to take control because of the Jeffords switch.

[WCGreen]

11. I was just going to say I was wrong....

14. You are ...

welcome. :hi:

[Benhurst]

12. You are right, and

you are welcome. :hi:

[OregonBlue]

5. Offer the Chairmanship and other perks to Snowe if she'll switch!!!

[SoFlaJet]

6. I like Olympia Snowe

and think it would be a good idea to try and convince her to bolt...

8. If I remember correctly--

--the Committee Chairmanships were promises made to Joe in order to keep him caucusing with the Dems. Take that away, he would caucus with the Pukes, and return control of the Senate to them. Not worth it. We know how he's going to vote, and we'll just have to live with it. Having the majority in the Senate is just to important right now. (Especially if impeachment happens . . .)

13. If LIEberman were to bolt....

is there any way that the voters in his state to throw him out of office in the middle of his term.

[VP505]

16. The Dem's will

maintain majority status until the start of the 111th congress, regardless of who LieBerputz caucuses with!!!

9. how in the world was Gore talked in to this guy

for the life of me, I have never been able to figure that out. . . .

and have held it against Gore since then . . . what a mistake . . . he would have a hard time getting my vote back for that alone

[Benhurst]

15. "Holy Joe" was seen as an antidote to the Clinton/Monica connection.

The Washington Talking Heads were all saying that was going to be a big problem for Al. As usual they were dead wrong. Al was, and is, a Boy Scout, in the best meaning of the term. He and his wife are obviously deeply in love with each other and dedicated to their children. The idea that any untoward actions taken by Clinton in such a private matter would have harmed Al was absurd.

17. Lieberman's Chairmanship isn't up for Reid to change

It's legally subject to a resolution of the Senate. To change the Chairmanship would require 1) 60 votes to bring up a resolution for a vote, and 2) a majority vote to pass the resolution. I don't think the R's are going to help us out...
