OK, what next for Zell Lieberman?
   
So Traitor Joe trashes our candidate at the GOP conevtion... I want to see a response from Dem leaders TODAY.

You know, the primitives oftentimes act as if some phenomenon is new, when in fact it's been happening since the beginning of time, or the establishment of the United States, or the invention of political conventions.

It's been a rare convention where a member of the opposition hasn't been featured.

1. Joe's place in the caucus was preserved last week
   
HE donated $250,000 to the DSCC. HArry Reid got what he wanted so Joe gets what he wants.

2. Well, I'm sure he'll get a cabinet post under McCain...
   
Because he sure as hell won't be elected Senator again.

3. Just until November.
   
After that it's "Oh hey Joe, no more committee assignments for you... and you can forget chairing any of them, and your office is on floor SB-3... all the way to the end of the hall, we'll get the exterminators down there real soon now... and, oh, btw, in the words of one of your heroes... "Go **** Yourself"".

4. Reid was talking up how much Joe will be needed for filibusters
   
Joe will still chair the Homeland Security committee. He'll get some plum committee assingments.

HE threw HArry a bone so Harry will definitely roll over.

5. It all depends on how many we pick up... but even with Joe we are unlikely to break the filibuster (need 60).

So... they kept threatening the "nuclear option" when they had a majority, threatened it so much that they often got exactly what they wanted.

I suggest that the Dems grow an Obama spine and do it right back to them. If they call our bluff, go nuclear on their ass. We need to restore balance and the constitution NOW, it's truly a "break glass in case of emergency" situation.

Joe was elected as an independent running against a dem.
There is no reason to think that it wont be the same next time.

I suspect this person in all their self proclaimed wisdom and insight has no idea of that fact.

But Joe's pretty old, Carl.

Joe's not old and senile like the spittering sputtering spattering Jr. from Vermont, but I think he's in his late 70s.

Nice to see that the DUmmies still can't see the forrest for the damn trees.


Still clueless to the fact that THEY are the reason we've had long standing members of the Democrat Party speaking at the last two Republican Presidential Conventions.


When a Dem feels more comfortable speaking to the GOP that SHOULD be a wake up call to the DNC.
