She pegged Lieberman on every single word she said! What's the only thing Lieberman has investigated? All the CZARS in the Obama Administration. Period! Less that a year since she made these comments and GI JOE has put Obama's Healthcare Plan in jeopardy, thanks to the HEAVY pockets of money he got from the Insurance Lobbyists! WHEN Are the Democrats Going To Start LISTENING TO Rachel Maddow?

What’s the only thing Lieberman has investigated? All the CZARS in the Obama Administration. Period!

HE deserves to hear from all of us about that. I disagree with the vitriol toward Senator Reid. As to Senator Reid's choices in January... Let's see. Two choices: 1. Keep Lieberman around, caucusing with Democrats, with a committee chairmanship. He votes with the majority most of the time. 2. Punish him severely. Throw him out of the caucus. Strip the chairmanship. Get fewer votes in line with the party. At the time, that meant 58-1 = 57 (Franken was not seated, and Specter was a Republican.). Senator Reid absolutely made the smart, and less childish move. Reid looks like the adult that he is, and Lieberman the spoiled attention-seeking child. Now, it is up to us, and to Senator Lieberman's constituents, to let him know how we feel. So, call, write, e-mail away. First caveat: I am appalled at Senator Lieberman’s filibuster threat.

All Obama has to do to get Lieberman's vote is bomb Tehran. If Obama won't oblige, Lieberman will do all in his power to cripple Dem initiatives in order to be better positioned for future Arab hating. It’s simple.

Time to get REAL busy on the LieberDem. Calling all progressives! We need two really good ads, one for Harry Reid district calling him out on reconcilation or BUST! And we need a really good ad for the LieberDem's district/state. This time we need to make it UGLY! Real ugly for Holy Joe so he won't even want to run in 2012. Maybe we could recycle that George Bush Kiss along with the other Senate repugs denying health care? We could list all of Joes major donors. There better be some type of punishment for this cr@p he's pulling. And pulling his committee chair ain't good enough. As for Reid, we could pull up the video of him saying "I trust Joe Lieberman" Now what Harry? Its HAMMER time! Time to get REAL busy on the LieberDem. Calling all progressives!

Odds are that Holy Joe has friends in the White House who are more than happy that he carry their dirty water, while they pretend he’s working against what they truly, in their heart of hearts, really would like to do, if only it were possible.
