Good going, Joe...
Congratulations to Senator Joe Lieberman on his reelection to the Senate. I only wish he would have reconsidered his quick decision to caucus with the Democrats, even if only for a while.
Shouldn't the Dems have been forced to think about their disloyalty, their disregard for history and their sheer stupidity before being given a "Get out of Jail" card from Lieberman? Here's a guy who agreed to take up his party's flag and balance the Presidential ballot with Al Gore. Here's a guy who took a pummeling and attempted character assasination from Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the circus on behalf of the "party". And yet his own collegues, upset with one stance Joe took, threw him to the wolves. Take a look at some of the recent comments made...
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who campaigned in Connecticut for Lamont, said he and fellow Democrats were not holding any grudges against Lieberman, who won a fourth term last week.
"We're all pros," Kerry said. "We're all adults and we're friends ... We're glad he's caucusing with us, and you move on."
Well how appropriate, Sen. Kerry, that YOU aren't holding any grudges against Lieberman. How did this guy ever become a Presidential nominee? First, he tries to single-handedly give the election back to the Republicans with his stupid joke, then he says this? Is his 15 minutes of fame about up yet?
Lieberman, who wants to be identified as an "Independent Democrat," said he was welcomed back to the party fold at a luncheon caucus by Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, who likened Democrats to a family and said families occasionally go through crises.
Yes, Senator Reid, families go through crises. But most families don't try to eat their own. You should be ashamed of yourself and your party... and Sen. Lieberman's decision to caucus with you should shame you even more.
"Not a single Republican senator or political operative has called to ask me if I would consider switching and organizing with the Republicans," he said. "I really appreciate that and they respect who I am and that I gave my word."
Sounds like at least one side understands the term loyalty...
