The “if they defund the war” comment is interesting, and puts the Dems on the horn of a dilemma. Do they defund the war to satisfy the nutroots base, and wind up sacrificing their majority in the Senate, or do they PO the nutroots but try and pacify Lieberman? No matter what, expect the outpouring of hatred and vitriol for Lieberman to measure an 11 out of 10 (obscure spinal tap reference).
It’s funny here in CT; Dodd is running for president, but endorsed Lamont in the Dem primary. Lieberman said at the time “I can forgive, but can’t forget”.
The GOP is the party of tolerance. I’ll tolerate my differences with Lieberman considering where he stands on national security issues, so come on over, Joe.
Just seeing the colossal nutroots meltdown makes it worth it.
Tolerance is a big reason why you seeing the supposedly liberal Giuliani leading the polls, and why a boob like Chuck Hagel is so unpopular within the party
When and if we ever to return to speech like “The defeatocrats are trying to sell us out and I am no lemming” which would of course be what was meant in his statement to Politico (RIGHT JOE!), will be the day that America regains a better direction. Enough with the PC blathering silliness (BS – for short)!
Didn’t I mention something about this the other day?
I propose a trade: Lieberman for Hagel. Or Collins. Or Snowe. Or Specter.
A trade is no good. The republicans wouldn’t gain control, and Harry Reid would still be in charge. I think if the republicans get the majority, they get to appoint commitees, etc.
G – It may not be good enough but the trade would be an improvement.
Interesting Link Below-Regarding control of the senate.

I don’t know if it’s true or not. It looks like a lib site.
G – the Dems were already in control before the 2006 elections. Mostly, when the GOP was in the “majority”, they immitated doormats and let the Dems wipe their feet on them.
A trade means the RINO-to-be-named-later gets to be their problem for a change. Plus there are some out there who voted for the Democrat Party believing they would keep their promise of creating a coherent Iraq strategy (don’t you dare laugh!), and Democrat control of Congress means that they have to produce. Democrats loath making anything except trouble. Try it yourself: If you want to have a little fun and make a Democrat soil their underwear, whisper “accountability” in their ear.
But those fun and games are in the future. For now, which RINO should go?
If we want to raise the collective IQs of both parties, Hagel gets the nod.
If having the most senior moments by a senior senator is the benchmark, bye-bye Specter!
How about good ol’ sexist “ladies first”? Collins or Snowe. The tiebreaker can go to the one who has had the most fantasies about “servicing” William Jefferson Clinton
(That last comment was probably uncalled for. Not to mention that these days John Murtha is their main squeeze.)
G-Monster, the analysis in that link is wrong. Just because the organizing resolution is worded differently for the current Senate, there is nothing to prevent them from holding a vote the very day they gain the majority to modify the resolution and give them the committee leaderships.
Michael,
I came to almost the exact same conclusion, after futher thought. I didn’t want to overpost here, and I’m glad you pointed it out. The story in the link is wishful thinking for the libnuts.
