Cowardly Senate Democrats DEFY Democratic voters, WELCOME JOE LIEBERMAN with hugs and kisses.....
Yet more proof, as if any were needed, that Senate Democrats are a UNIVERSE UNTO THEMSELVES... surrounded by sycophantic staffers (who are fired or run off if they don't kiss enough senatorial butt) and sycophantic donors (I'll give you $10,000 for your campaign if you give my corporations ten-million dollars in tax-cuts and subsidies"), all of whom make senators feel like gods on Olympus as they wheel and deal on Capitol Hill while scorning the human riff-raff of the world and Hades far below.
Democratic Party voters of Connecticut turned out in large numbers, raised millions of dollars, and took on the huge $20 million corporate donor warchest of Senator Joe Lieberman - AND AGAINST GREAT ODDS, DEFEATED the EIGHTEEN-YEAR ENTRENCHED INCUMBENT!
Those true-blue Democratic voters of Connecticut have already had one effect.... they have, probably for the first time in US history, forced a major party's former Vice Presidential nominee to RUN TO THE OTHER SIDE of the aisle, forcing Joe Lieberman to SWITCH SIDES and HELP the Bush-Cheney-Rove Republican party!
OK, during the Civil War, at least one former Vice President of the United States joined the Confederacy.. WHICH IS OUR POINT! Over this past decade, SOCIAL SECURITY; HEALTH CARE and PRESCRIPTION DRUGS for seniors; CREDIT PROTECTION for embattled American consumers; PUBLIC EDUCATION; the SEPARATION OF CHURCH and STATE; the right for Americans to have OVERSIGHT and FULL PUBLIC DISCLOSURE of corporate and especially government spending - - - on ALL of these and dozens of others, these issues DEFINE WHAT IT IS to be a Democrat!
And, in almost every one of the above issues, former Democrat JOE LIEBERMAN is SOLIDLY ON THE SIDE OF the Republican Bush-Cheney-Scalia-Scaife administration.
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY THEcorrupt, complicit SENATE DEMOCRATS are cheering, applauding, and WELCOMING Joe Lieberman.
Like Lieberman themselves, they are SO REMOVED from American voters IN NEED of Social Security, public education, affordable health care and prescription drugs, affordable higher education, secure employment, and job benefits, THAT our 'Democrat' senators CONSIDER THEIR PRIVATE SENATE CLUB to be FAR MORE IMPORTANT than the will or needs of millions of rank-and-file Democratic voters who have funded the last 3 MISERABLE FAILURE Democratic national elections.
In fact, JOE LIEBERMAN was at the heart and soul of TWO of those failed Democratic national elections - the 2000 stolen election 'won' by George W. Bush in Florida, and the 2002 midterm where Senate Dem. Majority Leader Tom Daschle and Senator Joe Lieberman, chair of the Senate Governmental Affairs committee, threw a WET BLANKET on a thorough and dynamic ENRON investigation, thereby not only ROBBING mid-term Democrats of their BEST ISSUE to win the 2002 midterms (i.e., portraying the Bush-Cheney administration as entirely beholden to the corrupt executives of Enron), but eventually ENABLING the Enron extortion of billions of dollars from the California economy, and thereby the LOSS California governor's mansion to the Rethuglican Party!
LIKE A BAD PENNY, JOE LIEBERMAN KEEPS SHOWING UP AT CRITICAL national elections for Democrats, and as Vice President John Breckinridge took up arms against his country (Breckinridge becoming a general in the Confederate Army), Joe Lieberman is now taking millions of dollars in contributions from REPUBLICAN DONORS in an attempt to DENY THE WILL OF DEMOCRATIC VOTERS.
WILL American voters prevail over the UNHOLY ALLIANCE of the bullying, corrupt Bush-Rove-Cheney Rethuglican Party; the treacherously corrupt press/media, and the COMPLICIT "Sell-Democratic-Voters-and-American-workers-and-consumers-down-the-river" Democratic Senate?
We have only 8 weeks left until November 2006 to find out, BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, the COWARDLY Dem. SENATE would be JUST AS HAPPY TO SUFFER A 2002 defeat, as they were back in 2002, CHEERING and APPLAUDING as they are the prime architect of that defeat (and the 2000 Democrat's wilting Florida recount battle), Senator Joe Lieberman!

Senate Democrats cordial to Lieberman

WASHINGTON - Democrats applauded, a Republican colleague gave him a hug — Sen. Joe Lieberman still has plenty of friends in Congress.
Weeks after Lieberman lost the Democratic primary — and defied his party with an independent bid — the three-term Connecticut senator was greeted warmly Wednesday as he attended the party's weekly luncheon and participated in Senate business.
Democrats gave Lieberman an ovation as Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., introduced him at the lunch and welcomed him back. Republican Sen. Susan Collins (news, bio, voting record) of Maine shared a hug with Lieberman on the Senate floor.
"My colleagues were as warm and collegial as you would expect them to be," Lieberman said of his reception on Capitol Hill.
The cordial response reflected a harsh political reality. If Democrats manage to gain six seats in November and Lieberman wins, the party will need him to take majority control. Lieberman, the party's 2000 vice presidential nominee, has said he would caucus with Democrats if he prevails in his independent run.
"I didn't sense any awkwardness in there. There was no discussion about him and Connecticut and his future," said Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., one of a handful of moderate Democrats who are supporting Lieberman's re-election. "It was hearty applause welcoming him back and, I think probably through that, sending him a signal that he's very, very welcome in our caucus."
