Hartford, Conn. (AP) -- Connecticut Democrats are considering whether to ask Sen. Joe Lieberman to leave the party for speaking at the Republicans' convention and backing GOP presidential nominee John McCain.
The party scheduled a debate Wednesday night on a resolution that would censure Lieberman and ask the veteran politician to resign from the Democratic Party.
Lieberman was re-elected to the Senate as an independent after losing the Democratic primary in 2006 to businessman Ned Lamont, but while he calls himself an "independent Democrat" in the Senate he remains a registered Democrat and has said he has no plans to change his affiliation. The four-term senator nearly became vice president in 2000 as Al Gore's running mate.

These lib/dems are so ugly to everyone.....
They’d better be careful. They just might need Joe Lieberman.
Since when does a censure mean anything?
If I got censured by a bunch of morons, I’d make a button that said “Censured By Morons” and wear it.
I thought he was an Independent who caucuses with the dems.
Are they stupid or am I missing something? Didn’t he already change his affiliation to Independent?
So what the heck?? Does this mean that you must vote for the Party’s candidate or you don’t get to be in the Party? Sounds like something Saddam Hussein used to do!
Reminds me of spoiled brats throwing down their marbles and huffing off with their noses in the air, all with the intent to tattle.
He already left the party. They ran a dem against him.
Party before Country. Every time. The Rats never did censure Bill Clinton. They opposed impeachment but said something must be done. They did nothing.
Rats lie. Socialists lie. Always.
They should thank him- if he was caucusing with the GOP it would be 50/50 Cheney tie breaker.
We all noticed how quickly their vitriol hatred for Bush immediately switched to the new person to feast upon. This evil hatred is bigger then these people and it is getting worse. Maybe I am playing it up a bit and am over-imagining things, but this is getting a bit concerning. Especially now that the colleges, universities, schools, and MSM have as much power over the young minds in this country. Makes me feel a bit grateful I am middle age and not just starting out in this country. /rant. I am not in a positive mood today with all the sickness these libs are spreading around.
Kinda like Obama? Yep. Kinda like Obama and the rest of these Dem leaders. Great description!! Fitting.
I say, go ahead you Democrats. Lieberman beat you once at your sly games. This is exactly what the country needs to see. You want to censure someone for expressing their own thoughts! That'll win you votes! Come on, just try it. And, please, do so soon. Obama needs all the help he can get from the whiners and finger-pointers. He certainly can't win on his own merit.
So how much time and money will it cost to make official what everybody already knows? Well I guess there’s nothin’ better goin’ on, eh?
He is not a Dim. He is an independent. As an independent, they have no standing to criticize who he supports for president or what convention he speaks at.
They could take away his committee chairmanship if they get a majority of more than one. That of course is why he should have caucused with the GOP during this current Congress.
What happened to tolerance? Diversity?
Big /S
I am sure he can just use the maverick label!!!! Oh wait he is a lib never mind.
Great point! Guess there isn’t much business to be handled for the state otherwise. Maybe they need a cut in pay. Sounds as though they have too much time on their hands with the money they are paid—salary or not.
Why don;t they censure Dodd for killing the economy?
but...wait... I thought only REPUBLICANS were partisan!
How can they? Isn’t he an Independent?
What Lieberman should do is on October 15th change his party affiliation to Republican and force Reid and his band of Rats to go into the Minority.
Then Bush calls for an investigation of every RAT who got money from Fannie and Freddy.
So much for freedom of speech...Libs only like free speech if you agree with them. Now they also want to be the thought police.
I thought so too. His political party is the Connecticut for Lieberman Party, according to the last election results that sent him back to the U.S. Senate. How can he "leave" the Democrat Party when wasn't elected under their party label in the first place and and is officially designated an "independent" in the Senate organization?
If the Dems are suggesting he "leave" the Democrat caucus and vote for the Republicans (but not join the Republican Party as a member), then I'm all for it. Let's pressure a member of U.S. Senator to stop voting for the Dems and instead vote for Mitch McConnell to be Majority Leader. That would produce a 50-50 tie in the Senate, which Dick Cheney could cast a tie-breaking vote and give the Republicans control of the entire U.S. Senate.
Great idea, Conn. Dems! Force Lieberman to hand control of the Senate over to the GOP! Can we make him do this tomorrow?

Tantrum - ignore.

That was good!
If Liebermann jumps to the GOP tonight, McCain will be the majority leader in the morning.....think about it.....Bush will sign the legislation.
Re “I though he’d already been excommunicated.”
Lucky it was “executed”. The Democrats in Connecticut, led by Ned the Red Lamont, would do that if they could. A beautiful state spoiled by the marxists and their liberal dupes.
nearly every so-called major peace group in Conn. is run by a member of the Communist Party - Al Marder - Con. Peace Council. WILPF, the late Irv Stolberg (USPC), etc.

Nice going, morons. In the middle of a financial crisis, Dems (in the state that is home to some of the largest insurance firms in the U.S.) choose to take action on bull#$%t instead of tackling real issues.
Don’t they have anything better to do? I hear there are other issues affecting the country right now. So I hear, anyway.
So the Dims can’t expel somebody from the party, just pressure him to leave? I guess that explains why Lyndon LaRouche and the Rev. Louis Farrakhan are still Democrats.
I guess that explains why Lyndon LaRouche and the Rev. Louis Farrakhan are still Democrats.Or, it could mean, the Demwits *welcome* their membership. After all, as Humphrey said, a political party should *stand* for something, and that party will stand for pretty much anything.

Well.. the Conn Democrats can’t afford independent thinkers I suppose.
