Anti-Lieberman Group Delivering 43,000 Signatures To Senate

Wednesday morning, Brave New Films and its allies will deliver a petition with over 43,000 names to selected members of the Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee, asking them to strip Senator Joe Lieberman of his rank and committee chairmanship when the 111th Congress takes its seats in 2009.

"We CANNOT tolerate a leader of the Senate Democratic Caucus who supports George Bush and McCain's War in Iraq. We CANNOT tolerate a Democratic chairman of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee who endorses and stumps for McCain," the petition reads.

Lieberman's spokesman responds: "Americans are tired of this type of old, petty, partisan politics. Sen. Lieberman will continue to put the country's interests before partisan interests."

I say Lieberman by favoring the Republicans is the one being partisan here. Those 43,000 signatures represent a bipartisan effort, people from all walks of life uniting for a cause. That's truly American... So why is Lieberman against them?

OMG, Senator Joe Lieberman is Anti American!!!

[in4success]

BINGO!!! he could give a rat's ass about america -- it's alllll about israel.

[Gidster]

The whole Christian Zionist thing is all about the "Rapture" and bringing it about!

[InjunTrouble]

The spokeman actually means: " ....Sen. Lieberman will continue to put the Israel's interests before partisan interests (or US interests)."

[abouttime]

I never understood how the "Democrats" would pick a Senator who defeated a Democrat in taking office would be appointed or elected to the Senate Democratic Caucus let alone become Democratic chairman of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.
Thanks to Brave New Films and its allies for delivering a petition with over 43,000 names to members of the Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee, asking them to "strip Senator Joe Lieberman of his rank and committee chairmanship" for well, being a neocon-no-party fraud and disgrace to the Demoncratic Party... in general.
I'll sign the petition.

Because if they didn't, he would have walked across the aisle and said "I'm caucusing with the Republicans" and it would have been 50-50. And then Tim Johnson was out and it would have been 50-49 for the GOP. And then the good ole Mitch McChinless would be leader of the Senate. That's why!

[Heavenhelpusall]

Does Connecticut have recall power of elected officials? This is one time I am happy to be one in 43,000.

[BEHM777]

I don't believe that Senators or Congressman can be recalled. 2012 is such a long was away. He Lieberman can be neutered until then, I hope.

[BEHM777]

*2012 is such a long WAY away.* Sorry.

[navalvet]

I hope that you mean neutralized rather than "neutered." At his age, the latter hardly matters but I still oppose that kind of action for politics.

[Big0725]

Sure. He becomes superfluous as soon as at least two more Dems are elected. That gives a insurmountable majority regardless with whom he votes. He'll be useless as teats on a boar hog. And he'll have 4 years to stew about it also. From what I hear from Connecticut, he couldn't win a rigged election up there now.

[hank48188]

Any elected official can be recalled

[john85msy]

Where can I sign........dammit I do not reside in the state of Connecticut.

[MissKaren]

I signed it anyway.

He is a disgrace to the Senate both for his behavior with regard to the war and his embrace of Hagee, who is an anti-Semite of the worst order.

[jakitchen]

so did I.

[plafayette]

Just need to be registered Democrat

[Fair]

He needs to be voted out of office the next time around and he will be.

[surferbuoy]

Democrats tried that lasts time around & it didn't work...he is not in the senate as a democrat...I think he ran as an independent & has usually voted with the democrats.

[AtlantaBill]

Joey is operating as did our ex-senator -Zell Miller.

[doctorwang]

Totally agree, Atlanta- I've been saying all along that Lieberman is the Zell Miller of 2008.

I wonder if Traitor Joe's up to challenging Chris Matthews to a duel?

[NickNas]

Circulate that thing better and I bet you can get 4.3 MILLION peopleto sign it

[damnadamson]

Traitor is not to strong a word to describe this man. traitor to his country and his party and morally bankrupt to the human race.

[surferbuoy]

Seems to me that it was the Democratic party that let him down & stood behind Lemont in the Conn. election...then Leiberman beat him as an Independent & Harry Reid let him keep the chairmanship even though he was an Independent. Why he continues to vote with the Democrates is the real mystery that for now we should be thankful for until the makeup of the Senate changes hands.

EDITOR'S NOTICE: MIS-PRINT. SHOULD READ:

Lieberman's spokesman responds: "Americans are tired of this type of old, petty, partisan politics. Americans are tired of this type of old, petty, partisan politics. Sen. Lieberman will continue to put Israel's interests before America's interests."

[dumboldfarmer]

"Lieberman's spokesman responds: "Americans are tired of this type of old, petty, partisan politics. Sen. Lieberman will continue to put the country's interests before partisan interests."

Personally, this comment reflects the lack of reality from his office. Since when has Joe Lieberman had our country's best interest at heart?

[Rianna]

Agreed. His loyalty is first to Israel, then the republicans, and finally our country.

[TerryFL]

.

What ? Lieberman has loyalty to the US ? Someone better alert the media. This is one of the great untold stories of our time. I am seeing a mini-series, or a big budget Hollywood production. Somebody see if the "Cryptkeeper " is available .

.

[mntnguy]

i heard that! that man cares only about his job and power he is nothing but a snake and I signed also and was able to get 6 of my friends to sign also we should have made it a larger drive and increased the number frankly i am shocked that with as little effort was raised that we got that many signatures

[jimmy2001]

Dumboldfarmer what makes you think he was talking about the U.S.

[doctorwang]

He's has Israel's, and his own, best interest at heart.......everything else is secondary.

[cultkicker]

dumboldfarmer - Lieberman's first loyalty is to AIPAC and Isreal. He is a dual citizen and a life long zionist. He will say and do ANYTHING to support the neocons agenda because they are part and parcel of AIPAC and right wing Israeli politics. Lieberman should and must be dumped. He is a danger to America.

[CyberGal619]

I signed and so did my 3 sons.

[Big0725]

Was that Rod, Chip and Ernie?

[gladys46]

I signed it too! How does Lieber serve two masters ... democratic agendas and Mc's agendas .... how is that done?

If he does not want the appearance of being a democrat then he ought to run as a republican ... others have done just that! "Judas" doesn't seem to do justice to this person ... he is so very public with his vengence!

[sowhatdemos]

I'm sick of that wimpy loser piece of dung too. Just looking at him makes you want to hurl!
Bye, bye, Joey, your uncle Guido wants to meet with you!

[atomic]

How dare we question Joe Leiberman and by extension the New World Orders agenda.

Leibermans answer to this petition was another automatic response designed to devalue any person or organization that dares to criticize the New World Order. The message is repeated over and over "do not question our authority". Additionally this is always followed up with an assertion that they are doing this for our safety as terrorists will get us otherwise.

This is how the New World Order / shadow elite responds to the legitimate argument coming directly from the people they claim to represent. You know them by their quick and inappropriate reaction which is calculated to both intimidate and ignore anything that legitimately confronts their illegal agenda.

They have orchestrated an almost unstoppable juggernaut designed to shock the American people into submission while they gut the treasury and burn the constitution. Leiberman is not a real senator as he has engaged as a coconspirator in an attack on our country and our way of life. Leiberman is a direct threat to the peace and sovereignty of this nation and he should be removed from office and prosecuted for treason.

[globality]

I signed. Go back to the Likud party Joe
