When the vote is taken to organize the senate, who will Leiberman vote for? Answer: The democrat Reed.
The party that controls the Senate controls the agenda. If you don't like what's coming out of the Senate now, thanks to the ineffectual cowardly lion Frist, wait til the socialist crats get ahold of power. They are idealogs and will wield power aggressively.
If you think the likes of Fat Kennedy, Crusty Clinton, Dodd, Boxer, Fineswine, Schmucky Schumer have too much influence now, wait til the crats regain power.
The problem now is that Mr. Eunuch Frist has no idea how to enforce party discipline and that lets marginal Republicans like Snow, Specter, McLame run roughshod over him. Hopefully next year, if the Republicans retain the Senate, they'll have a real leader to keep the mavericks in line.
Looking at the big picture in this case, I'll have to take anyone with an R after their name at this time.
EXHIBIT ONE: LIEberman's biggest scam was getting into the Senate on the backs of the unborn. This craven individual, Lieberman, ruthlessly used the unborn to get into office. As a 1988 Senate candidate, Lieberman made many, many pro-life pledges to Connecticut Catholic leaders as Atty General running for pro-abort Sen Weicker's seat. Based on a Lieberman poll indicating pro-life votes were there for the taking, Lieberman courted Catholics, and made pro-life promises that he had no intention of keeping. Lieberman got into the Senate----with pro-life votes. Once in office, Lieberman turned tail and became an unwavering abortion rights supporter, voting consistently pro-abortion, and even voting to uphold partial-birth abortion on six separate occasions. The Ntl Right to Life Committee has meeting notes of candidate Lieberman's calculated, phony pro-life pledges.
EXHIBIT TWO: Lieberman and ex-Reagan Edu Secy Bill Bennett would give out "Silver Sewer Awards" to express opposition to Hollywood's salacious, sexually explicit and violent music, TV and movie output. Then when Lieberman became Gore's running mate, he went to Hollywood on bended knee, in obeisance to the moguls, promising to strengthen Hollywood's ultra-liberal control over America, in exchange for votes and campaign financing.
EXHIBIT THREE: Lieberman's a dedicated gun-grabber - as his voting record clearly shows.
EXHIBIT FOUR: Lieberman famously went on and on during impeachment hearings about Bill Clinton's sexual conduct, but refused to cast his vote against Clinton when it counted.
EXHIBIT FIVE: Lawmakers With Relatives on Payroll By The Associated Press Wednesday, April 13, 2005 ----Connecticut Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman: Son Matthew received about $34,000 and daughter Rebecca about $36,000 for working on the senator's 2004 presidential campaign.
EXHIBIT SIX: LIEberman was so "supportive" of the US military that he was willing to become vice-president by NOT counting Florida's military vote. The man is not fit to have anything to do with the US military.
