WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Despite assurances to the contrary from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Democratic insiders are certain Sen. Joseph Lieberman next year will be kicked out of the party's caucus and lose his Senate chairmanship if he addresses the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., as planned.
Lieberman's Democratic colleagues willing to accept his support of Sen. John McCain for president consider speaking to the GOP convention as the last straw. Lieberman was re-elected from Connecticut as an independent in 2006 after losing the Democratic nomination because of his support for the Iraq war.

I wish he would stop caucusing with the rat dems.
Hmmmm. So Lieberman will address the RNC. I remember very clearly when Zell Miller also spoke.
Democrats addressing Republicans.
Gee! Next thing ya know, those silly Republicans might even nominate a Democrat for president.
lolol
Isn’t that a silly idea?
Kind of a "Johnny PayCheck" moment....
We already did.....
Stalin Obama can’t accept Trotsky Lieberman. He better looks out for a Mexican with an ax. (No this was not a pun on illegal immigration...)
The only real difference between Lieberman and his dem cohorts is he's not hypocritical about supporting regime change in Iraq and the absolute offense we had to take in the WOT.
The other dems don't care about their past words being completely opposite from what their traitorist words are now. That's the only difference, Lieberman is still a liberal dork!
Other than Leiberman, are there any other Dems with any kind of decent character? I was thinking about this as I read some Dem reaction’s to Tony Snow’s death, and I honestly cannot think of a single one!
The funy thing is that they gave him the VP nod to win the Florida jewish vote and now they’re ready to boot him..
I don’t think Joe will ever leave the party, they party left him.
Yea!we could not bare to have Ned Lamont as our Senator in Connecticut.One Liberal Nut per state is enough.
As many differences as I have withLieberman,I’ll take him anyday over what we could have had.

They won’t can him now because the numbers are so close. They think they will have a huge majority in Jan. and won’t need him. He should leave now.
It was a Spanish Communist who killed Trotsky in a city near Mexico City.
The Spanish Communist gained access after sweet-talking an American Communist female assistant of Trotsky.
The axe may have been found, and Trotsky’s great grand daughter is a recent appointee of the National Drug Abuse Institute, or some similar federal organization.
Don’t ask me how I know all of this.
Now they want to throw Joe under the bus. He should tell them to shove it and come over to our side. They betrayed him once when they didn’t back him. He shouldn’t let them do it to him again!
How do you know all that?
Lieberman is basically Hubert Humphrey, politically. He’s an honest, open man who’s convinced of an absurdity, i.e., leftism.
Definition of poetic justice.
Senate winds up 50-50 and Lieberman jumps ship.
Senator McCarthy wants to know... ;oP /just kidding
I’ll trade the Rats one Joe Lieberman for one Chuck Hagel.
Does anyone remember the Lieberman-Warner climate change bill? Aside from thinking like McCain, why would we want him?
Gee. The Republican Party will never win another election if we did that. You idiot. You're an "extremist" "single-issue" kind of person, aren't you? I'll be you won't vote for a Republican unless he/she wants to teach that the earth is flat.
I'm teasing. Just goading the "moderates" over here.
Their gain and our loss.
Yes, it is when people will vote for either a 3rd party choice - or stay home to teach the GOP a lesson. When they do that, they'll HELP ELECT Barak HUSSIEN OBAMA - the terrorist loving MUSLIM!
Wise up.
Lieberman is playing Tolkien's Wormtongue to McCain as Theoden.
Not with their whole hand.
I am in Mexico for a while (legally, I tell you, legally).
This article mentions that Trotsky’s great grand daughter is the head of a federal agency concerning drug abuse (she is an M.D. and apparently a Bush administration appointee), the controversy about the murder axe, and that Trotsky worked as a paid movie extra in New York in 1917.
He apparently applied for asylum to the United States while in Ensenada, Mexico.
The US denied him asylum, and he landed up in Mexico City.

Trotsky was an evil individual responsible for the murders of many, he was the older version of Che.
Aproveche (enjoy).
Thanks for the article. Lots of info on Trotsky, even though it’s written as a drooling hagiography.
Note by fish hawk: the word "left" here has way more meaning than originally meant.
And he always whines when he talks.
The Democrats are assuming that they will pick up at least one more seat next session, probably more. So they will no longer have any need for Lieberman and he will no longer have any leverage.
Of course they are going to dump him. Their liberal base is demanding it.
If McCain wins, Lieberman will get a cabinet position, probably Secretary of State. If Obama wins and the Democrats pick up even one more seat in the Senate, then Lieberman will have no power whatsoever.
If the Democrat was Zell Miller, I would be relieved. He’d be running to the right of McQueeg...
I’ll do my part to get him out of office.
Lieberman= 0 ACU rating, Gore VP pick, global warming bill. No thanks.

Democrats Wave Goodbye to Lieberman
Their gain and our loss.
Thas a fac Jac ... so the Democrats don’t like him .. he is still a stinking liberal no matter how Hannity tries to dress him up or the way some on this board do as well.
A tiger is a tiger
A liberal is a liberal
A Democrat is a Marxist .. and LIE ..berman still fits in that camp ... how soon we forget Algore - LIE berman ticket .. sore..loser...man
Wasn't it put more colorfully?
"The Democratic party got up and flew away!"
I recall Joe Lieberman flip-flopping on school vouchers and other issues. I am not sure what he stands for other than huddling next to John Sidney McCain and whispering answers to him. Even then poor McCain fumbled. Too funny.
I strongly suspect Lieberman is for the war in Iraq because he believes it’s good for Isreal—no matter whether it’s good for the USA.
If you find that too incredible to believe, listen to this: former New York City Mayor Ed Koch said on his radio show that he supports the war in Iraq because it’s good for Israel.
I guess Koch can afford to come right out and say his first concern is a foreign country because he’s retired from running for office.
“I am not sure what [Lieberman] stands for other than huddling next to John Sidney McCain and whispering answers to him. Even then poor McCain fumbled.”
I can picture it:

With all the seats they’re expected to win in November, they won’t need him.
Isn't that what they're doing this year?
You must not be old enough to remember Bill Clinton.
Ain’t no shame.
OB has too many people under his bus, so the dnc tosses Sen. Joseph Lieberman under their bus.
