I can't wait to take the mutha out, but until that time, they need to just let him alone. He is more powerful as as an enemy than he will ever be as a friend.

So what it looks like to me is that Harry is doing whats best for Harry rather than what is best for the party or for the nation. How does Joe the Benedict Arnold benefit the nation or the party?

But he is not "entitled" to a committee chairmanship. As far as I know (and I'm no expert, so I could be wrong) the Democrats in the Senate can pick whomever they want to chair the various committees. I don't see what there is to debate: the Senate Democrats should simply remove Lieberman from his committee chairmanship, and replace him with whomever they want. Lieberman can register as a Republican or as a Democrat, just like all of us can register to vote as a member of whatever party we want (or as an Independent). <br>What I'm saying is, let Lieberman decide if he's a Democrat or a Republican, don't get angry with him about it, but there's no need to keep him on as a committee chairman.

The fact is, if he would consider being on the GOP ticket, then he shouldn't be a Democrat. I can't in good consiense, however, condemn him for breaking away from the Democrats, when Colin Powell did the same to the Republicans and was branded a traitor. I don't believe that all Democrats need to support Obama, but considering running against him is more like aligning himself with the GOP rather then expressing his opinion.
