Lieberman must go

From My DD:

"Sen. Lieberman prefers to remain in the Democratic caucus," the aide said. "However, he believes he should remain as chairman of the Homeland Security Committee. ... He thinks that political retribution should not go ahead of homeland security."

Kick Lieberman out of the caucus and take his chairmanship. Do it NOW.

Lieberman commits treachery on a routine basis -- he did it to Bill Clinton during the Lewinsky investigation in 1998 and 1999, he did it to Al Gore when he tanked the Cheney debate and by giving away the 2000 recount, and he did it to Barack Obama by campaigning for McCain in 2007 and 2008. Worse, he as much as called Obama a traitor and a terrorist after BEGGING Obama to campaign for him in his 2006 Senate reelection, something Obama was happy to do, even though Lieberman was not the Democratic nominee.

Why is Lieberman a treacherous prick? Because there are never any negative consequences, and there are sometimes positive ones.

Reid says Lieberman is loyal on all issues but one, so we should be nice to him. If Lieberman is REALLY in step with Reid on all issues except the Iraq war, well then, it shouldn't matter where Lieberman caucuses, or if he belongs to a caucus at all.

Lieberman needs to lose his committee chairmanships and he needs to be kicked out of the caucus, partly as punishment for his many past acts of disloyalty, and partly as a deterrent to any other Democratic Senator who considers similar treachery.

Lieberman must go.
