F U Joe Lieberman

Joe Lieberman announces that he may filibuster the health care reform bill with the Republicans because he doesn’t like it: “I told Senator Reid that I’m strongly inclined–i haven’t totally decided, but I’m strongly inclined–to vote to proceed to the health care debate, even though I don’t support the bill that he’s bringing together because […]

Screw Joe Lieberman!

Is anyone else as sick as I am of all these guys with gold-plated government insurance plans telling everyone else they can’t have insurance? Joe Lieberman doesn’t mind spending money for an unnecessary war in Iraq but actually helping people right here in the U.S. is just too expensive. Never mind that reform is supposed […]

Tom Carper On Being Made a Fool of By Joe Lieberman

While he admits to having been duped, I don’t happen to believe that the letter below was actually written by Tom Carper. Where are the threats to turn the IRS on me? Where are is the simmering violent psychopathy? No promise to rip my head off and give it to his dog to use as […]

Joe Biden Smacks Down Lieberman AND McCain

Filed in National by on May 23, 2008 26 Comments

When he’s good, he’s good. Read his WSJ editorial (published today) response to Joe Lieberman’s very public bedwetting from Wednesday. Biden starts: Sen. Lieberman is right: 9/11 was a pivotal moment. History will judge Mr. Bush’s reaction less for the mistakes he made than for the opportunities he squandered. And here is the gist of […]

I Still Say F U Lieberman

Filed in National by on November 3, 2009 7 Comments

Color me skeptical: Sen. Joe Lieberman has reached a private understanding with Majority Leader Harry Reid that he will not block a final vote on healthcare reform, according to two sources briefed on the matter. The unpredictable Democrat-turned-Independent last week publicly stated he would join Republicans in filibustering the Democratic legislation after Reid (D-Nev.) announced […]

Lieberman Literally In Bed With Drug/Insurance Lobby

Geez, you’d think that the Main Stream Media might have discovered that Pious Joe’s equally-pious wife has returned to her roots–as a lobbyist for the pharmaceutical and health care industries with conservative lobbying shop Hill & Knowlton, which also numbers AIG among its clients. She had previously worked for APCO Associates, a lobbying shop that […]

So reports Kagro X over at dKos. Post what you read or hear in comments. EDIT: The Hill reports the vote was 42-13. UPDATE 2:From Steve Benen: Second, let’s pause to appreciate just how smart Lieberman is. In this case, I don’t mean that as a compliment. It was inconceivable that if Obama won in […]

Lieberman’s second trip to the woodshed

Filed in National by on November 6, 2008 14 Comments

Harry Reid will be meeting today with Joe Lieberman. I’m not sure what will happen, but I sure know what I want to happen.  I want Lieberman stripped of his chairmanships, and I realize this may be viewed as cutting off my nose to spite my face.  Sorry, can’t help it. I don’t trust Lieberman to […]

Reid boots Lieberman from party lunches

Filed in National by on September 9, 2008 26 Comments

Should have happened three years ago. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has told Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) that he “can no longer attend Democrats’ weekly caucus lunches or the biweekly chairmen’s lunches used to formulate policy.” It is a start I guess… GovExec reports that Lieberman was “virtually shunned by other Democrats when he […]

Carper Leaning Yes. Coons Leans War.

Filed in National by on August 6, 2015 68 Comments
Carper Leaning Yes.  Coons Leans War.

Unthankfully, Chris Coons, supposedly the smart one, is leaning no.

Sen. Chris Coons, who was personally lobbied by President Barack Obama and national security adviser Susan Rice to back the deal during a trip to Africa in July, said the view of the accord was about evenly split in his home state of Delaware in the first few days after the announcement. But the Democrat now says telephone calls against the deal outnumber those in favor by 10-to-1 in his state, an avalanche of opposition he has no choice but to listen to.

“I am a Democrat, and I would like to be able to support this agreement,” Coons said. “But I have serious reservations about it.”

Let me make some things crystal clear for the Senator.

If you vote no, you are not a Democrat.

If you vote no, you want and desire immediate war.

The day after you vote no, you and I can meet at Elaine Manlove’s office, and I will help you fill out the forms to change your registration to the Republican Party.

Your next election is not until 2020, but I will make it my life’s work to deny you renomination and reelection. You will be the Joe Lieberman of Delaware. You think we hold Tom Carper in disdain for his moderation at times, just wait to see what we do to you.

I can give two shits about conservative astro-turf phone calls to your office. This is one of those issues where you substitute your own judgment and your knowledge for the people’s rather than just being a conduit of what an unintelligent Sussex County teabagger thinks.

And if you genuinely have reservations about this deal, let me tell you something: everyone has reservations about this deal. This is a deal with an adversary. An enemy. Someone and something we do not trust. If you did not have reservations about this deal, you would be an idiot. I have reservations about this deal. We have to see whether Iran sticks to it. That is my reservation. And if they do not, guess what Senator… WE CAN BOMB THEM THEN. WE CAN REIMPOSE SANCTIONS THEN. WE CAN GO TO WAR THEN.

To vote no now means you unequivocally want war now. It means you do not want to even give peace and inspections a chance. It means you have no brain. It means you are a Republican.

If you are really taking into account the phone calls of those who do nothing all day but sit at home and watch Fox News, please remember, they voted for Christine O’Donnell. They never voted for you. They never will. And besides, your next election is in 2020. Chances are they will be dead by then anyway.

Seriously though, to base a vote of this importance on feedback your office receives makes me question your suitability and ability to perform your job. It also makes me think you are a coward. Whether you fear the voters or you fear your donors, or both, you are still acting out of fear.

DL readers, since it appears the so wise Senator places great value on the calls he gets, take a moment and call 202-224-5042, say you are a Democrat, say that he will support the Iran Deal or he will not be the Democratic nominee in 2020. Say all that.

It’s time to clobber our mealy mouthed federal representation over the head.

Daily Approval Rating — Results for Senator Chris Coons and Poll for Congressman Carney

Here are the results for Republican Senator Christine O’Donnell, oh wait, I’m sorry, Chris Coons:

Strongly Disapprove – 47%
Disapprove – 24%

So a grand total of 71% disapprove of the neocon coward. 27% approve. 2% had no opinion or were ‘meh.’ Chris, if I wanted a neocon reactionary I would have voted for the witch. If I wanted a spineless shadow craver I would have cloned Tom Carper. My God, it just occurred to me. We have elected the short version of Joe Lieberman.
