http://liebermanmustgo.com/ - IPublius, on 07/09/2008, -3/+31Lieberman is an Independent, not a Democrat. They already dropped him during his re-election campaign and he won anyway. I'm not sure how you strip an Independent of his Democrat title exactly, but it could be interesting to watch.
- marabout40, on 07/08/2008, -17/+42Lieberman's like a hemorrhoid on an ass: Lieberman=Hemorrhoid, McCain=Ass.
McCain, Lieberman, and Graham: The Three Stooges.
I'll be glad to see them all go. - AndreiOttawa, on 07/08/2008, -18/+41Lieberman is such a douche..
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -9/+27Petitions are as useless as Youtube and Digg..This will never happen..These folks are smoking Dope !
- TheInformer, on 07/09/2008, -0/+15He was dropped as the Democratic contender for his seat longer ago than the length of an episode of American Idol, therefore your comment is beyond the attention span of many people.
- SoyJames, on 07/08/2008, -15/+30They are still taking signatures as of Tuesday night:

Picture this happening here in the US and the nonstop news coverage...
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/212/story/43313.html - shauncorleone, on 07/09/2008, -12/+24Oh you people are hilarious, and not just because of the cute petition. If Lieberman held to the exact same principles and still had the "D" next to his name, you would feel completely differently about him. You think it's trendy to follow Obama and you'd follow any other hack in his party, including the great "leader" Pelosi and real traitors like Murtha.
How the Democrats even "dropped" him is beyond me. That would require having some kind of principles for him to violate in the first place. - MorganMghee, on 07/09/2008, -7/+17RTA, they're not taking away his seat, they're 'stripping Senator Joe Lieberman of his rank and committee chairmanship when the 111th Congress takes its seats in 2009.' The committee voted him in and they can vote him out.
- proliance, on 07/09/2008, -16/+26Just more proof that the Democrats don't allow independent thought.
- mcquitty, on 07/09/2008, -4/+13Not only that, he votes with the democrats percentage-wise more than some other democrats. So, why is he demonized? Why aren't the others demonized as well?
- arpad, on 07/09/2008, -2/+10Look at some of the comments to get a feel for the temper of your idealogical brethren.
Running an ideologically pure primary opponent against Lieberman was a pretty stupid thing to do. What made it a truly idiotic plan was losing the election to him.
Now the Daily Kos crowd is revealed as both intemperate and incompetent. Not a great combination if you expect to maintain political influence. About the only arrow left in their quiver is having some uber-rich types like George Soros and Andrew McKelvey on their side and even those guys have signaled that they won't continue to ladle out money without some results, evidence the withdrawal of their support for the anti-gun movement.
I figure even those rich lefties will get tired of the hysterical antics of liebermanmustgo.com crowd and start to put less money into those organizations. You don't get to be a billionaire by throwing good money after bad. - tony979, on 07/09/2008, -1/+9Here we go again, the politicians are fighting among themselves instead of trying to solve problems that this country is facing. Get with it congressmen, do something constructive. I think it is time to replace everyone in congress with new blood. lets not reelect anyone that is in office now and get new people that might do something instead of trying to get re-elected. I am fed up with the lot of them.

- AgainstObama, on 07/09/2008, -3/+10If you don't agree with the radical left-wing views, you can't speak!
- stanleyford, on 07/09/2008, -0/+7"I tend to think that this is only the start of something bigger...that will demand the Expulsion of Elected officials that don't do their job as they were elected." -- We've had that for a long time. It's called an election. The fact that Lieberman keeps getting re-elected tells me that, if no one else, at least his constituents think he's doing his job.
- legolas68, on 07/09/2008, -5/+12I love it when the democratic party careens ever leftward. I just wish they would go beyond the point of no return and into oblivion.
Good riddens I would say. - vietnam2nd, on 07/09/2008, -21/+27this Guy needs to join the republican party he is no longer a democrat. he is a Benedict Arnold. the sooner they strip him of chairmanships the better.
- pintomp3, on 07/09/2008, -20/+26traitor.
- Moonkeeper, on 07/09/2008, -7/+13I fail to understand the hatred towards Lieberman by the dems. Outside of Iraq he votes with the dems nearly every time.
- tony979, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6amen to that. get rid of all of them and get new blood
- DaDrake, on 07/09/2008, -2/+8Yea man... ***** those politicians who put country before party. ***** them!
Seriously... I am sick and tired of people who treat parties like sport teams. - mmmmmbiscuits, on 07/09/2008, -2/+8In your wet dreams, moonbatz0r.
- ender7074, on 07/09/2008, -1/+6It is so time for term limits on Congressmen.
- sphoony, on 07/09/2008, -0/+5I think you mean 'left wing liberal' not 'right wing liberal'.
- mmmmmbiscuits, on 07/09/2008, -4/+8Keep slurping up that propaganda from the Senate MAJORITY leader, Morgan. It will distract you from the fact that Reid and his cohorts are gutless bitches with an all-time low approval rating this week.
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -11/+15It shouldn't be hard to round up 43,000 liberal hatchetmen. So what? Washington is crawling with them. They are powerless. He serves at the pleasure of Connecticut voters who like his maverick spirit. The liberals have another chance in 4 years. I look forward to his speech at the Republican Convention.
- DaDrake, on 07/09/2008, -2/+6Not the school bus.... the short bus.
- toekneebullard, on 07/09/2008, -0/+4I'm glad someone said this. He was voted in. If you don't like him, move to Connecticut and vote him out.
- homescrubb, on 07/09/2008, -2/+6oh democrats... wont you ever man up?
please? - mmmmmbiscuits, on 07/09/2008, -8/+12Time for you to go outside and wait for the school bus, isn't it?
- ender7074, on 07/09/2008, -4/+8Because its the trendy thing to not like Liberman. Just like the Obamanations that drool over his every word. The minute its not the trendy thing to do, both will go back to being ignored.
- j37hr0, on 07/09/2008, -0/+3Steroids in baseball is an FBI and justice department investigation. The congressional hearings on it were done by the House Oversight Committee, not the Senate. Taxation isn't a punishment. In order to have a government where property rights are defended by the government taxes are required to fund the government to protect those precious property rights in the form of national defense and security, and law enforcement. Are you still with me Mr. Boortz? OK, so the people with more property, have a higher obligation to pay for those government services than those with less property. Why should those with less or no property pay for the defense of the property of those who have a greater share?
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -11/+14Why am I not shocked that Democrats are eating their own. Our country would be better off if they were worm food…………
- digbird, on 07/09/2008, -10/+13The Democrats won't do this for the same reason the Republicans wouldn't do something similar to Chuck Hagel. Which is to say, they need Lieberman's vote on a lot of issues that he can be counted on to vote Democrat.
Another reason why they won't do something like this is that it would mightily annoy the voters of Connecticut (who quite resoundingly returned him to office in 2006). Lieberman is a very senior Senator and that gives Connecticut more political pull than such a small state might normally have. Stripping him of his committee assignments might give McCain an advantage in Connecticut in November 2008. - Lamadave222, on 07/09/2008, -8/+11The People's Socialist Demokrat party will do nothing about Lieberman. If they don't count independents as Demokrat but as Republican then they would have to talk about sharing chairmanships with the Republicans and since the only thing the Dems are interested in is naked governmental power for self-aggrandisement, they can't have that. The continuous ad hominem attacks on McCain may suggest that, as always, the Dems can't actually run on their belief system because their philosophy is anti-capitalist and pro-socialist. Veterans have always had complaints about post-service treatment and they are probably correct in their complaints but I hope they do not confuse speechafying by someone whose disdain for the military is palpable with actual concern. Really, Barry could give a crap as long as you vote him into office. You don't think his position on veteran's affairs might evolve once he has power? Sell now while you are still allowed to make a profit.

Who gives a ***** about what 43,000 wingnuts say?
Hey! A petition! A novel idea. Maybe they'll deliver another one that demands chocolate milk for lunch. - Elranzer, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2Connecticut gave us Joe Lieberman, Hillary Clinton and George W Bush. I say they be stripped of their "seniority" in government.
- inactive, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2Better yet, an all expense paid, one way trip to Israel.........
- IPublius, on 07/09/2008, -2/+4Still not part of the Democratic Party. He has not relabeled himself as a Democrat. he's an Independent who works closely with the Democrats.
- DaDrake, on 07/09/2008, -3/+5McCarthy would be proud of you dalexandruz.
- chipwalker, on 07/09/2008, -5/+7Obviously this will get me dug down, but here goes anyway since all the wacked out right wing liberal ***** on digg just makes me boil.
The democratic party is a joke and Lieberman realizes this. It's a shame that the party has no real direction, but i guess doing nothing makes it easier to point the finger. Keep up the good work investigating steroids in baseball dems and lets bring obama in so we can socialize everything. We may have to increase taxes and the size of the fed in order to maintain these programs, but thats a good thing right? Wait I got a much better idea, lets tax the ***** out of people who are successful and make a good living, obviously they are the ones who should be punished. F.CK OFF - pyronik, on 07/09/2008, -14/+15well being as the whole democratic party is a bunch of benedict arnolds I'd say that makes lieberman more like.. i dont know.. a patriot
- inactive, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2No, those are just rightards clustering around Clueless Joe's ***** for warmth and food.
Yeah, really to grow em big you gotta let 'em feed off Cheney, but in a pinch they can suckle off any neocon.
Good for you for cheering him on. In the end you rightards will be stuck with him, remember that.
Look at what a great job he did for the Dems. - Elranzer, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2Typical republican comeback: "But... but... but... DEMOCRATS!"
- edjenkins234, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Yeah passing illegal wiretapping bills, not overriding healthcare vetos, not impeaching an obviously illegal presidency, and continuing to fund two endless wars......man these guys are some left wing nut jobs.....
- Jeremyz0r, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1As usual, the digger's community to catch sarcasm blunders again.
- Roger_Ramjet, on 07/09/2008, -2/+3Sour grapes. If you wanted him out, you probably should've, oh, I don't know, maybe defeated him in the election?
