Lieberman’s superdelegate status stripped.

Lieberman’s superdelegate status stripped.
Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), who endorsed Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for president, will be disqualified as a superdelegate at the Democratic convention “under what is informally known as the Zell Miller rule.” In 2004, Miller — then a Democratic senator from Georgia — attacked Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) in a speech at the Republican National Convention. The DNC “responded with a rule disqualifying any Democrat who crosses the aisle from being a super delegate.” (HT: Firedoglake)

Take his committee assignements while you’re at it, harry. he’s bad for the USA, like all republican swine.
February 7th, 2008 at 9:57 amDoes this mean that Lieberman is going to go Yosemite Sam on Tweety and challenge him to a duel?
February 7th, 2008 at 10:03 amThey should make it a ceremony–have him stand there, rip his lapel pin from his jacket, cut his tie in half and depants him in front of everyone.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:04 amGood one 5th Estate….Maybe when they are done with that they can crate him up and ship him back to Israel….Blessings
February 7th, 2008 at 10:07 amI just registered so I could be able to say…
HA-ha!
February 7th, 2008 at 10:07 amHey DNC, I have a better idea, strip ALL the superdelegates, and let ht people decide.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:08 amTake his committee chair, his office budget, his computer access, and put his desk in a goddam broom closet in the parking garage..
February 7th, 2008 at 10:08 amCool Beans.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:08 amSo why was Lieberman a Democratic superdelegate? Is Bernie Sanders a Democratic superdelegate? They are both Independents who caucus with the Democrats.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:14 amThe should have done this when he went independent.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:14 amWhat’s with all this made up crap like “Superdelegates” anyway?
The election process is such a stupid, rigged convoluted pile of shit anyway.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:18 amThe DNC “responded with a rule disqualifying any Democrat who crosses the aisle from being a super delegate.â€
Lieberman didn’t cross the aisle, he left the party. So Lieberman is being dumped by virtue of the Lieberman rule – that when you leave the party and run against the chosen Democratic candidate, the Dem leadership will coddle and patronize you until we really can’t because the Dirty Hippies would call bullshit and we’d look even more feckless than usual.
The Lieberman rule, too screwed up to deserve a pithy definition.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:18 amIt’s about time someone stripped Lieberman of something, anything! Besides, he isn’t a Dem anymore – he ran as an independent so should have no say in the Democratic election.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:24 amThis is a piece of good news.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:34 amHow can an independent be a super delegate anyway?
February 7th, 2008 at 10:35 amI flatter him — he is not an independent, he is a lying, self-aggrandizing traitor.
HOO RAH!!!
’bout damn time they stripped this noog out of SOMEthing…
February 7th, 2008 at 10:39 amNext, take his chair and seniority. Let him sit with Larry Craig in the shunned section.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:46 amJeez, that’s so rational. It makes so much sense. It can’t be true.

February 7th, 2008 at 10:48 amWhat’s with all this made up crap like “Superdelegates†anyway?
The election process is such a stupid, rigged convoluted pile of shit anyway.
Comment by JPV — February 7, 2008 @ 10:18 am
It’s my understanding that the “superdelegates” came into being after George McGovern was chosen as the nominee in 1972. Supposedly by having superdelegates, this increases the chances of getting a nominee that the party machinery wants, and lessens the chances of getting a nominee that the people want. It’s essentially a safeguard against any more George McGoverns being nominated.
And this isn’t the only thing that makes the election process a “stupid, rigged convoluted pile of shit” — I was surprised to learn the reason that several states (New York, New Jersey, Florida) had a “winner-take-all” rule for their Republican primaries was because Giuliani had pressured the RNC into making those rules. He felt that would work better for him.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:49 amWell, he asked for it. Just deserts.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:50 amWhy the hell was he a superdelegate anyway?
Like Dumb Fox says, he left the party. He was defeated for the party nomination for his Senate seat, and he left the party.
So what if he caucuses with Dems on some issues? Virtually all of his public statements over the last year and a half have been critical of Democrats and praising of Republicans.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:51 amHere’s a little something for all you list lovers out there — a list of superdelegates and who they have endorsed (so far). Keep in mind that superdelegates can change their minds before the convention, and some probably will — maybe back and forth a few times.
http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/2008/01/superdelegate-list.html
Here’s a list of the superdelegates who haven’t endorsed anyone yet:
http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/2008/01/superdelegates-who-havent-endorsed.html
February 7th, 2008 at 10:55 amHow very appropriate that Lieberman would be chastised under a rule named for Zell Miller. They’re both stinkin’ piles of traitorous crap.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:56 amIsn’t it amazing how someone could go from the Party’s VP candidate to this level of non-entity?
This guy so wanted to be someone ‘important’ that he sold his soul to the neo-con agenda because it was supposed to, according to Rove, last forever. And now that the wheel has turned, he’s on the outside looking in.

You know, Sometime you have to work with the other side to get things done. It’s called compromise. If both sides can’t do that then it won’t matter who’s in office. Punishing people for “reaching across the aisle” is sending a bad message.

Comment by VA Voter — February 7, 2008 @ 11:07 am
There’s nothing wrong with “reaching across the aisle” — in fact, in order to get anything done, bipartisanship is quite necessary (too bad the current crop of Republicans don’t know this).
Nobody’s talking about “reaching across the aisle” here. What we’re talking about is blatantly swimming across to the other side and staying there. There is a huge difference in working with the other side in a bipartisan way to get something done, and trashing your own party’s nominee at the other guys’ convention, as Zell Miller did.
I would be willing to bet that any GOP Congressman who came to the Democratic convention, embraced the Democratic ideology, and trashed the GOP candidate for president would be similarly shunned by his own party.
February 7th, 2008 at 11:14 amLieberman didn’t “reach across the aisle”. He abandoned the Democratic party, labeled himself an “independent”, aligned himself with a Republican presidential candidate who might have been an opponent of his own Gore-Lieberman ticket in a previous election. The Democratic Party simply and, finally, said “good-bye”.

Comment by VA Voter — February 7, 2008 @ 11:07 am
Since when is “campaigning for the other party’s candidate” the equivalent of “reaching across the aisle”?
Your attempt to defend Lieberman is ridiculous. He voluntarily left the Democratic Party and ran as an Independent. Period. He gave up any role in the Democratic Party when he ran against a Democratic candidate for the Senate. Why is this so difficult for you to understand?
February 7th, 2008 at 11:19 amGood. Everyone who believes this is the correct move should contact the DNC and let them know you support it.
I’ve also written all of the Democratic Senators and asked that, should the Dems net at least one additional seat in the November general election, Lieberman should be removed from his committee posts. Let him vote with the GOP at that point without his ability to hold the Dems hostage with his one vote.

Lieberman is more or less a Republican. Revoking his super delagate status is deserved. A Democrat that supports a Republican in a Republican primary does not deserve a vote in the Democratic primary.
Imagine it the other way around, and tell me you wouldn’t be glad the RNC revoked some delagate’s vote.

More like “Go Fish”.
February 7th, 2008 at 11:32 amLieberman is not a Democrat. He left the Democratic Party formally in 2006, forming the “Connecticut for Lieberman Party.” He has also since abandoned that party, which is controlled by a Lieberman critic who filed Connecticut state paperwork and took it over when Holy Joe was not looking. But Lieberman has not been a Democrat at all, formally and officially, for two years.
February 7th, 2008 at 11:33 amAnd they should give the super delegate status to Ned Lament if he can get a few days off from the drive through window to attend the convention.

I guess the troll doesn’t realize that Ned Lamont is a successul businessman — the knd that the preznit pretends to be:
In 1984, he founded, and is currently president and chairman of, Lamont Digital Systems, a builder and operator of advanced telecommunications networks for college campuses and residential gated communities, with over 150,000 subscribers….His most recent salary was reported as $546,000 per year
“Drive-through”. Heh. Is that the best joke the trolls can come up with?

February 7th, 2008 at 11:54 amI agree. Take the committee chairmanship too. I am sure the Dems are afraid of Joe changing to Republican and changing the balance of power in the Senate. If the Democratic Candidate, in the Senate election to replace Trent Lott, wins – the Dems can let old Joe go. Joe Lieberman serves no one but himself.
February 7th, 2008 at 12:09 pmGood that’s as it should be. His committee chairmanships should also be removed.

Perhaps, but I suspect even Holy Joe is smart enough to know that if he were to caucus with the Republicans, they’d be all buddy-buddy with him for a few months, but the minute he stopped being useful to them, they would stuff him in a locker, or tie him down on a chair and fart in his face.
And you know what? He’d deserve it.

Ignorant troll VA thinks we are mad at LIEberman for reaching across the isle. He is too stupid to see that we are mad at LIEberman because he left the Democratic Party and joined the Republican Party, but is too chicken to do it in reality. The only reason why he hasn’t officially declared himself a Republican is because he doesn’t want to lose the only position of power (head of the Homeland Security Committee) he has left. If he becomes a Republican he will be the new kid on the block with zero seniority.

February 7th, 2008 at 12:54 pmHe isn’t “reaching across the aisle!” He is an Independent for crissakes! Is he expected to attend the Democratic nomination? I sure as hell hope not. He should be stripped of any seniority and chairmanship bestowed by the Democratic leadership in the Senate! He has declined to investigate any Homeland Securioty failures since he became chairman of that committee. His allegiance is to Israel not the US. I believe we should ally with Israel but not to the point we fight wars they want to start. Iran. Get rid of the traitor from any power or influence he has in the Democratic controlled Senate. If that stripping changes the majority in the Senate so be it. The Democrats could then become the obstructionists the Republicans are now. And more Republican leadership would only firm the peoples resolve to remove them from ANY seat of power. Only 11 months. They could obstruct that long. The Republicans have.

All too common, “working together” and “compromise” means giving republicans the benefit of the deal.
A democratic majority is under no obligation to play nice with republicans who don’t own up to their domineering history. A democratic majority should never compromise on any ideas harmful to our nation.
February 7th, 2008 at 1:09 pmAs someone from CT, I should point out that while Lieberman won his seat running as an Independent, in fact, he is still a registered DEM in the State of CT.
There was briefly an effort to have the Dem party in CT through out his registration based on his run against the party nominee, Ned Lamont, but unfortunately, that effort failed.
I know there were links to articles on this issue, and short term this was in the Hartfor Courant, Capital Watch section.
Posted by: Porter Rockwell | December 17, 2007 at 11:45 AM
Lieberman may have declared himself an independent after the election but the reality is he remains a registered Democrat in CT today just as he was on election day when he won as a petitioning candidate.
February 7th, 2008 at 1:12 pmThe Dems must be careful, though, we don’t want to push Traitor Joe over the line into the Republican party and shift the majority even more to the right.
February 7th, 2008 at 1:50 pmBetter to have the a**hole remain an “independent” campaigning for the repugs – it’s a hobson’s choice for the Dems.
Joe is wallowing in his power now, and his in-your-face presence to the Dems, but come November, he will be marginalized.

Give me a frickin break. This from someone who supports the GOP where you get punished for saying the wrong thing, let alone “reaching across the isle.”
This is just the beginning for the vile Lieberman. When Dems take a supermajority in the Senate, he will be stripped of all his committee assignments and banished to a seat in a dark back corner so that he can finish his term in obscurity where he belongs.
February 7th, 2008 at 5:02 pmI’ll accept any ruling that prevents me from having to listen to the whining, irritating sound of Lieberman’s voice. Old Zel didn’t appear to have both oars in the water last year but given the bunch of loonies in the government, it wasn’t a big deal. LOL.
February 7th, 2008 at 5:13 pmI think McCain is going to select Joe Lieberman as his running mate. They’ve been so chummy lately. Thanks, Connecticut Democrats, great choice!
February 7th, 2008 at 5:32 pmGotta love the big tent Democrats
February 7th, 2008 at 5:59 pm#86 – My thoughts exactly. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if LIEberman ends up as VP on the Rethuglican ticket. To see him supporting Bush, McCain (’He’ll Be More Of The Same!’!), et al, makes me say words I don’t normally say.
February 7th, 2008 at 8:26 pmThis is in response to questions #86 and #88.
I appreciate your disdain for Joe Lieberman. As a registered Connecticut Democrat who voted and campaigned extensively for Ned Lamont, I feel exactly the same way.
February 7th, 2008 at 9:22 pmHowever, let me remind you the Connecticut Democrats voted Ned Lamont as the Democratic Primary winner to run against Alan Schlesinger for US Senate, not Joe Lieberman. Joe Lieberman decided to take it upon himself to run as the candidate for the “Connecticut for Lieberman” party. The CT Dems did our part and I wish we could have done more for the party by installing Ned in the Senate.
I know we’re all in agony right now over the Bush Administration and all their cronies and everything they’ve done to us, our reputation and country as a whole… but let’s try and stick together, stay positive and get 100% behind the nominee. I’m really hoping its Barack.
Best wishes
Lots of bad information here. Leiberman was not stripped of his superdelegate status when he endorsed McCain. He never had it. He and Bernie Sanders were not superdelegates as they were not Democratic members of the Senate. End of story. Go look at the DNCC website and see how many Senator Superdelegates CT and VT have, and it’s been that way quite a while. (And if you do, you’ll see that CT shows 0 Senators, cause Chris Dodd is listed as a Distinguished Party Leader since he’s a former chairman of the DNC.
February 7th, 2008 at 9:50 pmI thought Lieberman had already been stripped of anything with a “super” prefix long ago. What else can we strip him of, while we’re at it?
http://www.getfreshcut.com
February 7th, 2008 at 10:16 pmCan they give him a “wedgie” too? I’ll bet he got lots of those in the schoolyard when he was a kid. He’s kind of a dweeb.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:44 pmGreat, but they’ve only gone halfway. It’s time to strip that traitor of his citizenship and send him back to Israel along with a huge invoice demanding immediate repayment for the billions we’ve wasted on them. And then we should give Israel 24 hours to disarm their nuclear programs and respect UN Resolutions 242 and 338 in total. Otherwise they become the pariah that should be dissolved as a country.
February 8th, 2008 at 8:07 amSince Leiberman’s constituency is the state of Israel (hence his support for McCain), that seems perfectly fair.
February 8th, 2008 at 10:53 amGreat now there is nothing to prevent him from running for his dream job; Vice president under his homosexual lover John McCain!
February 8th, 2008 at 1:30 pmI am glad to hear this. When the dems get a couple more Senate seats in November, they’ll put Joe out in the cold. His profile behind McCain at the podium helps the Dems. McCain and Lieberman are individuals who enjoy opposition. Lieberman can’t lead dems. McCain can’t lead Repubs, let alone the whole country.
February 8th, 2008 at 2:05 pmThe treatment of Lieberman with kid gloves is entirely due to the place he finds himself in in a divided Senate. We don’t have a solid Senate majority yet, one election is not enough to create one.
49-49-2
He has personal veto power on issues the Republicans can muster 49 votes for. Lieberman deciding to caucus with the R’s out of spite would grant them a Majority, and Lieberman deciding to side with the Republicans on any single issue would grant Cheney the deciding vote.
When we’re safely at 52+ Dems, I expect his drop in the gutter to be hindered only by the strong degree of personal loyalty the DLC feels for him… but that’s not the motivation in play right now.
February 9th, 2008 at 12:43 pmGuys guys guys (and gals) psssttt. I’m here to share a little secret. Lieberman has been a Republican for a long long time. His publicist said this to the media. Gore was having trouble on his campaign..the Jewish voters. L wasn’t performing-a dud-undermining Gore. He’s an imformant. They typically “bloom” when there is an even split, and one vote will push it. No one takes him seriously now. His big money man was Bush’s roommate when he ran against Lamont. He went from a B to an F on environmental scorecard (endorsed Cheney oil plan behind closed doors). He’s the worst kind of politician, Fox news loves him though. There are more out there (Miller). Why do you think Bush and Co demand absolute loyalty and cronism? Because they know one long-time pseudo-Republican could get everything. The unspoken rule is no one gets killed, everything else is fair game. (9/11, Iraq-not sure if this holds true anymore). The media doesn’t begin to scratch the surface-they sanitize everything (don’t want to offend viewers or hurt ratings). Folks, it’s dirty. The Bush people pushed this about as far down as you can go (corruption, unethical behavior); so they set a new standard. (e.g. if everyone now speeds 30 miles over, the cop is forced to pull over the 40mph cars now).
February 11th, 2008 at 3:51 pmSorry. that’s informant.

Wow. Comments to this report led me to register too. “All Republican swine”? (see first comment if you haven’t already). This is still the United States right? I will say Republicans do seem to me to look at things in simplistic terms, but apparently there are plenty of discrespectful Democrats who see in black and white also. Mine is the first post that I saw to suggest bashing might not be a great thing. WT? Just more evidence of how badly we need change in Washington, that we need to reach across party lines and that there is an urgency to now. If all we can do is bash till November then I guess McCain will win. Obama needs everyone who can see past the black and white thinking and bashing to support him whether that be Democrats or Republicans. We do want to see a Democrat in office again eventually don’t we?
