I think it is time to call Joe Lieberman on the damage he has inflicted on the Democratic Party and more importantly on our nation.

For those of us who were around in 2000, back when Josh put up his first tentative posts, during the Florida recount, Joe Lieberman was no where to be found. When Dick Cheney and the Republican pitbulls (no lipstick) were spewing their venom, Joe Lieberman was AWOL. The VP nominees sole role in the run up to the election is to be the guy carrying the big stick. But good ole Joe, couldn't even swat Dick Cheney in the debate when he was serving up softballs like how he made all of his money in the private sector (no mention of the government contracts he got for Halliburton, feeding from the public trough). Nor did he stand up to the Republicans when they were breaking every rule on ballot eligibility for things like ballots being faxed in AFTER election day. Yes, Joe must have been thinking of himself even then.

So, where did Joe's inaction lead us? Well for starters, President Bush, 9/11 (President Gore would have read the memos), the Iraq War, Guantanamo, eavesdropping on American citizens, Enron, and the massive failure of the investment banking industry (Al Gore was a populist before it was popular). Yes, one could lay all of this and more on the doorstep of Joe Lieberman because he wasn't the tough, loyal Democrat that was needed back in 2000. And I do.

Kick him off his committee chairs NOW. If he has any remorse for his actions he will still caucus with the Democrats, but to be honest, Joe only cares about Joe. So lets all man up and give Joe what he deserves.
