    The Dems are about to rip away his chairmanship and he's already met with GOP leadership today. Actually I don't know if he'll move to the GOP and even if he does I can't see his votes changing a large deal considering his cons uents aren't going to deal with that one bit.

    He's an independent thinker. I don't see him going GOP because he still votes majority democrat.

    He votes his conscious and not always on party lines. Like we all should. But that is just my opinion.

    I see the Democrats putting a lot of effort into defeating him the next time his number comes up.

    The only thing Joe Lieberman cares about right now is having a committee chairmanship because of how much power that carries. If the GOP was stupid enough to offer him one he'd jump ship in a heartbeat.

    Its not about independent thinking its about power.

    Depends on what he does. Chances are Democrats are going to lose seats in the next election unless things go spectacularly so there will probably be many other seats where the money is needed.

    I think if he goes to the GOP it will almost be self defeating but I honestly can't see this guy voting with the GOP on anything outside of a few national security issues. He votes almost exclusively with the Democrats because that's what his cons uents demand.

    We'll see.

    Uh, why would that be wrong? A political party is in place to win elections. Why on earth would them wanting to win a seat for their party be wrong?

    I disagree and party affiliation is blown out of proportion, IMO. Partisanship sucks.

    That kind of thinking is why congress has such a low disapproval rating.

    personally being called a terrorist or calling the people that you hang out with, past or present tense, a terrorist?

    so, what do you think about a party that runs their campaign on lies and hate? that tried to win by simply fooling the public? how many of them can we expect you to hire?

    Thats a complete non sequitor (and its not the reason congress has a low rating) but can you explain why it would be wrong?

    You can disagree but its the truth. He met with McConnell today and tried to get a committee chair out of him but of course there are none to be gotten. I don't just make things up. Congress is run by these committees and having a chair is a huge boost to the power your wield.

    A party's platform doesn't mean a member of that party has to vote exclusively with that platform. I don't agree on every issue with democrats or republicans. I don't want any of this talk about regulating radio air time just because conservative radio kicks progressive radio ass. Gay marriage should be up to the voters and not legislated from the bench. And other issues.

    I never said you make things up I'm just saying, and again it is my own opinion, that the way things are run now is bad for the country. Are they doing what is best for the people or what is best for them? Of course it is the latter. I just think that is the wrong way.

    If you can't see how being a self-serving politician is wrong then there is no need for me to try to explain it to you. The reason congress has such a low rating is because they don't know how to act like children and act like adults and get the job done. And there is no ONE reason why congress has a low approval rating but the partisan way of governing is a big reason why I give them a low rating.

    i didn't see joe arguing the merits of obama being a terrorist.
    I don't agree on every issue with democrats or republicans.
    neither do i.

    sounds like another republican false alarm. don't see that happening.
    Gay marriage should be up to the voters and not legislated from the bench. And other issues.
    i think that's what happened.
