See Ya Later, Joe

This isn't terribly subtle. Nor should it be.

"Lieberman went too far when he distorted Sen. Obama's record," said [Senate Majority Leader Harry] Reid spokesman Jim Manley. "From Reid's perspective, (Lieberman) has every right to give a partisan speech to whomever he wants. But he doesn't have the right to distort Sen. Obama's record like that. Sen. Reid was very disappointed in Lieberman's speech."
Added Manley: "The Democratic caucus will likely revisit Lieberman's situation after the November elections."
Asked if Reid was putting Lieberman on notice, Manley replied: "Without overplaying it, the answer is, yes."

Harry, it might be a little late as Joe will could very well be on his way to the Office of Secretary of the State or Defense Dept. by then...

What I dont get is how Connecticut permitted Joe to lose as a Democrat and then re-register as a Independant next day. How did that happen? Those people on that job should have been shot.

It's quite easy as he was quite popular among GOP and moderate Dems. Needless to say, he's played a very good chess match with the Democratic Party.

I thought there was some sort of compromise (or whatever the technical term is) that would have allowed the Senate to remain in the hands of the Democrats should Lieberman finally cross over. But earlier today, I read that Arlen Specter, among others, is trying to get Lieberman to switch so that it'll go back to the Republicans. What gives?

Come what may, if the corporate Republican financed and lobbyist led DLC, Democratic Leadership Council, had not had control of the Congress, Lieberman would never have been able to caucus with the Democrats after 2006. DLC Republican spy Lieberman should have been booted out of the democratic caucuses after the 2006 primary election and should not have been leading any democratic committees; in less than a couple of months, Republican spy Lieberman must be booted out of the Democrats caucuses, otherwise there is little point of having two parties, if all representatives agree to abide by one party rule. This time there must not be any excuse at all --- rat fink Lieberman is a traitor to the democratic cause and must not be allowed to listen in on any democratic plans.

You know? this whole thing...is making me.....NERVOUS! but not for the obvious reasons like.."what the hell happens if they actually...gulp! WIN!."

No!..not that...necessarily..but rather...WHY?

WHY would McSame CHOOSE this...unbelievable scumbag of a Woman..a Woman that gives Women a BAD NAME...helll..scratch that...that gives the HUMAN RACE a bad name...WHY? It is...a HUGE Albatross..just WAITING to happen...WHY?

So..I am NERVOUS..because I am thinking to myself..WHAT DOES THE MCSAME CAMP....KNOW?

What do they KNOW..that would ..ALLOW them to make this choice for VP (Villanous Person) without the sleightest hint of..."worry"...or concern for the shere..VOLUME of really dispacable actions this woman has taken in her...uhhh.."Career"...she is SO damaged...AMGED GOODS HONEY..and yet...? they PICKED HER! WHY? WHY? WHY?

I believe this may end up being the ...well a SORT of.."smoking gun" for the fact that they have ALREADY RIGGED THE ELECTION! Why else would you make a choice..so...destined to create problems...it is as if they have DECIDED to lose...and in a FAIR election..the choice of PALIN makes sense in only one way..the "winning" of the Daily News Cycle...but that is not enough...not for these stakes...SO...WHAT DO THEY KNOW? What is the Ac up their sleeves that would allow them to pick a VP candidate that is...ONLY "good" for ATTENTION..both negative and....well...what do you call the "she's a woman.." factor?? And again..that aint enough...I mean..that is...if you wanna..actually..uhhhh..WIN!

So...for the last time..WHY? What do they KNOW? And is this the actual "historical" beginning, as in....the beginning of the story...of the LARGEST ELECTION FRAUD IN AMERICAN HISTORY...????

I truly believe...that it may very well be...just that...the beginning of the story of another corrupted election...the picking of a VP candidate SO PATHETIC that she is ONLY good for daily NEWS and could never make for a "winning ticket"...unless of course..."it's in the bag"

They need to steal 1 million this time Folks!...1,000,000 to win....an it may be a forgone conlusion...Palin makes me...HELLA NERVOUS..as they say out in front of the local "liquor cheaper"..."she's HELLA LAME, dude!"

alrightee then...adios for now...

Sarah Palin's shoveling moose dung to cover up the stench of 8 years of CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN governance may work well in Alaska, but not so well in the rest of the country where the people are not accustomed to the stench of moose dung.

Working Americans are suffering in this RECESSION. Yes we are in RECESSION, the Bush McCain RECESSION. All over America there are people being foreclosed, laid off, suffering from inflation, specifically food and gas costs. This is linked to McCain and his policies as the "incumbent candidate" of George W. Bush. McCain is for the fat-cat, foolish corporate executives who lay off workers, run their companies into the ground, yet leave with $50 million golden parachutes. McCain is for the corporate tax cheats who screw American workers, paying $0 in tax. McCain is for the thieves at Enron and the other oil barons and defense barons making billions at expense of the US taxpayer. Have I told you we are in a RECESSION? McCain is a hothead. McCain has a tendency to fly off the handle. Do you want his finger on the New-Clear trigger. Some say McCain is Riddled with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Don't let McCain rob you of your SOCIAL SECURITY and Medicare by his privatizing initiatives. Don't let McCain tell us to stay in Iraq for the next 100 years. Vote Obama/Biden.

The Democrats made a deal with the devil, which comes as no surprise. Lieberman said to them, give me what I want or else I'll caucus with the GOP which meant that VP Cheney would have been the tie-breaking vote which means the GOP would have controlled the Senate. Actually, the Democrats should have done that earlier and let Lieberman be the traitor he is out on full public display. But as usual, the leftwing of the war party is always in synch with the rightwing of the war party which means more of the same. REMEMBER:

"The surge has worked beyond our wildest dreams." -Barack Obama
