Go Suck That Republican Cock, Joe



Yesterday, war-lover Joe Lieberman said the he might switch parties if Democrats continue their opposition of funding the Iraq war. Got that? It’s a threat and not so subtle one. The Senate is currently 51-49 in favor of Democrats, but if Joe leaves that majority is gone.

Lieberman became an independent after he lost the Democratic Connecticut primary. He went on to win the election and now caucuses with the Democrats. But it is not a very nice relationship because he threatens that he will leave the caucus every chance he gets. See, Joe loves his war and he wants it to go on and on and on because it is going so incredibly well.

"I have no desire to change parties. If that ever happens, it is because I feel the majority of Democrats have gone in a direction that I don't feel comfortable with."

He suggested, however, that the forthcoming showdown over new funding could be a deciding factor that would lure him to the Republican Party.


It’s nice to see one man trying to hold the Senate hostage. Well guess what, Joe? Go, you are fucking meaningless. Let me explain. At the beginning of every congress, each house passes a resolution organizing its committees, designating committee chairs and listing the majority and minority members of each committee. The current Senate did so on January 12th.

Back in 2001, when the Senate convened, Al Gore was still the Vice President and would be for another two-and-a-half weeks. The Senate was tied 50-50, so Democrats had control of the chamber when the organizing resolution came to a vote. With Dick Cheney soon to come in, however, Democrats allowed Republicans to control the Senate in return for this provision:

“If at any time during the 107th Congress either party attains a majority, . . . the provisions of this resolution shall have no further effect . . . except that the committee chairmanships shall be held by the party which has attained a majority.”


So, when Jeffords bolted the Republican Party five months later, the Republicans lost control of the Senate. But there was no such clause written into this year’s organizing resolution. Why? Nobody knows. But the net effect is this: Joe Lieberman has no power to switch the balance of the Senate, his threats are hollow and he is a dick.

So feel free to switch parties, Joe. Or don’t. But shut the fuck up.

yes...instead of talking to your party members, starting a caucus, or being one of the few dissenting voices in the Democratic party, you're rushing into the arms of Fox News.

Joe, we hardly knew ye.

Pfft this is the guy who screamed bloody murder over the "gore" being inappropriate for "kids" in Mortal Kombat so we all got weenie versions of such.

Funny thing how the blood censored in a videogame is now being actively spilled and washed off of countless lives in the middle east, by the very same souls who may have been affected by the bitching about ratings and censorship before.

Talk about delicious irony eh?

Ahh Fear "duh" reaper attepmts reporting again from his closet.
I dont remember Sen. Leiberman ever stating that he's a war lover.
Fear duh reaper just reveals his one dimensional view of the world and his pathetic propaganda posing as "news". He mixes his personal opinion within his article slandering and putting words in peoples' mouths.
Then the ever brave cunter Kulture moron that I think "reaper" is he attacks Sen. Leiberman for having a view that differs from his own.
Howfundimentalist of the "reaper".
Is it possible that Sen Liberman is not threatening anyone but recting to the fact the the Democratic party has become a bunch of isolationist left wing nut bags.
so
Why dont you "Shut the Fuck Up?!"
u are definately too spineless to use the name Reaper but your definately a modern day Nazi.
how about "pussy willow"?

Oh, God, thanks for that laugh. How is the world of black and white?

"duh" is some quality shit. You used it instead of "the", so my screen name sounds kind of dumb.

What a moron. Dissenting is what you would do if you were truly opposed to the war. Making an ass out of yourself (again, you whiney cunt) to get yourself publicity is what you would do if you were a douchenozzle. Congrats Lieberman, you're doing our religion proud.

Man, I'd hate to have to diagram those sentences.

Does anyone out here really think that FTR is trying to pass off his column as "news?" It's just one guys opinionated rant, usually kind of amusing & interesting, sort of a Fox News for lefties. Yeah, FTR, "your (sic) definately (sic) a modern day Nazi."

Wow, Nero, George Will you ain't.

What a riot.

Nero1970, I called a couple of my friends to tell them to take a look at your post because I found it so spectacular and one of them pointed something out I would like to ask you about -

Did you think you slammed me with cartoons? Or do you live in a world where people debate and make points with cartoons? Please explain what you were trying to do with the cartoons because I am fascinated,

sincerely,

Fear "duh" Reaper

Haha, Nero accuses Fear the reaper of propaganda, then writes THAT!? That's just as bad as the propaganda and slanderous political videos we have to watch during election time.

All you said was that you "don't remember Sen. Lieberman stating he's a war lover."....That's it? Where's your proof, citations, notes, etc? Just type "Joe Lieberman" into google and you'll see articles about how the republicans support him for his war stance, his comments made during his senate race in November that sounded like repeat talk from Cheney (something along the lines of 'pulling out now is a victory for people who tried to bomb planes in england') and how he's supported the war since he voted for it with the exceptions of a few criticisms as to how Rumsfeld was handling it.

This is Suicidegirls, not CNN. The fact that a political writer gets reamed out here (where almost every article pertaining to any subject on this site is personalized for fun and humor) and not at FoxNews is absolutely beyond me...

I don't know about FTR but It pisses me off because A) I am from Connecticut and this guy ran an an "Independent democrat" but was elected by Republicans. B) He does not represent the State of Connecticut, he represents the state of Israel. C) He is a spoiled baby, who operates on the "If I don't get my way, I am going to take my toys and go home" school of kindergarten social skills.

It's even less effective when there are significantly more Republicans siding with Democratic initiatives now than the other way around. You'd think he could see which way the wind is blowing. But if this is what it takes for him to lose all ties to the Democratic party and the clueless voters that punched his name out of simple recognition, well, let him dig his own hole.
