He's nothing but a traitor, I'm extremely disappointed in both Obama and the Democrats...by letting Lieberman off the hook, they have basically condoned his actions and thrown the left wing of the party under the bus.
Perhaps this is Obama showing us change- it's not business as usual in Washington DC. Had Lieberman been stripped, Obama would have been accused of orchestrating his dressing down and been called a dictator or something.
He is slimy and vile, but he has been a vote. And maybe they are looking ahead and believe he'll be replaced by another Democrat in CT in 2010.
"I found that of 638, 110th-Congress votes through July 31, 2008, 36 of those came down to a tie or were decided by only one vote and, of those, Lieberman voted with the Democrats 31 times -- and on most of those 31, Democrats prevailed based on Lieberman's vote.
"I didn't like seeing that, but the results were real and they made me conclude that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) was right to not push for Traitor Joe's ouster two years ago and that, like it or not, Democrats actually did need him on their side, at least some of the time."
