So the schmucks in the Democratic Party decided today to give the finger to the liberals, progressives, Democrats, and rational republicans who worked hard for 3 years now (the year before the 2006 election I’m talking about) to put Democrats in office to FORCE REAL CHANGE, and we find out today that they don’t give a shit about that nor do they really understand what it was about Joe LIEberman that has pissed us off.
For starters, Assholes of the Democratic Party, here’s a few reasons for you to fucking assholes ponder:
- JOE IS NO LONGER A DEMOCRAT. HE HATES DEMOCRATS, THINKS WE’RE UNPATRIOTIC, AND THINKS DEMOCRATS & REPUBLICANS SHOULD BE KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE IN FOREIGN LANDS FOR FUCKING ISRAEL. “TO HELL WITH AMERICANS” IS JOE’S MANTRA SINCE 9/11/01
- JOE REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE THE WHITE HOUSE AND THEIR UNDERLINGS FOR THEIR ROLE AFTER KATRINA. A little reminder….(CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT BARACK OBAMA WAS DOING AFTER KATRINA)
- JOE CAMPAIGNED FOR JOHN MCCAIN AND REFUSED TO ONCE SAY A KIND WORD ABOUT BARACK OBAMA THE WHOLE TIME HE WAS CAMPAIGNING FOR MCCAIN…..A BUSH SUPPORTER
Joe LIEberman spent the last 8 years along with Sen. Susan Collins, a republican, screwing the American people over by doing zero oversight of Halliburton, KBR, Betchel, Blackwater, and other contractors as the heads of the Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee! Nothing! They did mock hearings and then did nothing. They are both an abomination and the official Brownshirts of the Bush Republican Party for crying out loud! As Jane Hamsher points out below, Joe LIEberman has not earned his right to hold a gavel of any fucking committee!!!!
Here’s what I heard Harry Reid saying today at his press conference right after he and the Democrats voted to keep Joe:
“We love Joe Lieberman. He equals change and we don’t care if he’s a republican, votes with the republicans, campaigns for the republicans, and thinks we Democrats are unpatriotic, because we’re not republicans….we just love him to death! In fact, you reporters don’t know this, but we Democrats got the chance to be butt fucked by Joe LIEberman today while we were voting for him, and I gotta tell ya….HE IS THE CHANGE OUR COUNTRY NEEDS RIGHT NOW! Holy, wow. He is the Change Meister and we are looking forward to him impeaching Barack Obama first chance, because we know Joe LIEberman loves us, our party, and wants to move forward. Moving backwards would mean….going after the Bush Admin for their High Crimes & Misdemeanors, but as Joe pointed out today while butt fucking us….IT’S NOT IMPORTANT! So again, we just wanted you all to know we love Joe more than life itself. And by the way, we listened to the American people too who are thrilled to have another republican on the Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee, because these Americans are feeling the love of change!”
Howard Dean, who is the current Chair of the Democratic Party, had the following to say on a phone call to lefty bloggers today after the Democrats voted for Joe LIEberman to stay on the Senate Homeland Security committee (you’ll be astounded to find out Howard Dean didn’t do ANY INVESTIGATING of what Joe did as the Chair/Senior Member of the this committee! He knew nothing of what this man did and didn’t do!!!!!!!!!) courtesy of Jane Hamsher of FireDogLake who was one of the few who got the call (emphasis mine):
HOWARD DEAN: What I’m saying here is along comes Lieberman. He behaved very badly during the campaign and did some things inside the club that are unforgivable.
So what… if you run and get a mandate for reconciliation, is your first act to kick this guy out of the party?
Well, people of my generation think — yeah, damn right we should. But in the new spirit of reconciliation, which is why I think Barack Obama got elected by 66% of the under 35 vote, maybe it’s not the way.
I’m very willing to give the benefit of the doubt to the Senators and to Barack Obama on that one.
Do we want to have a big fight about what should happen to Joe Lieberman? I don’t think so. I think we want to have a bigfight about whether we’re going to have a decent health insurance program or a renewable energy program or not?
JANE HAMSHER: With all due respect, Governor Dean, we were all just told to go screw ourselves. That our concern for Barack Obama and that our concern about the war and everything else that we fought so hard for within the Democratic Party is meaningless.
And that Joe being happy, and giving into his threats — and he did threaten the Democrats in his press conference — is more important than we are. And so I don’t think it was a matter of “reconciliation,” I think it was…we were told to go Cheney ourselves. And I think that that really is the sentiment online.
HOWARD DEAN: I know, I’m sure they…I haven’t seen the blogs about this because it’s just happened…but I’m sure that the sentiment online is one of outrage. But I would line up with Barack. I don’t think you were told to go screw yourselves at all, I think he that has now got to practice what he preaches during two years of campaigs that he wants to bring America together.
As objectionable as Joe’s behavior was — and frankly unprincipled — I don’t think that this is the thing that should divide us, and I don’t think it’s about his vote for FISA or anything else. What kind of a tone do we want to set? Do we want to have a purge as the first thing we do? I don’t think so. I mean, I don’t know…
JANE HAMSHER: But the tone we just set, with all due respect, is that Joe’s lack of oversight on the Homeland Security Committee, and his refusing to investigate Katrina to pay back the Republicans, and his refusal to look into billions and billions of dollars worth of graft and theft is okay for political considerations. I think that’s the message you’re sending and I don’t think that’s the change people voted for.
HOWARD DEAN: Well I don’t think that stuff is okay but I have to say I’m not terribly familiar with his record. But you know I would agree, that’s not the change we voted for, I agree with that.

JANE HAMSHER: Governor Dean, Greg Sargent just put up a post saying that you believe that the liberal blogosphere was motivated to take Joe Lieberman’s gavel away because of revenge. Is that what you think this was?
HOWARD DEAN: I think some of it was anger over his behavior, certainly I have anger over his behavior.
JANE HAMSHER: But I think the larger issue here is that Joe was not qualified for the gavel they gave him, and has proved himself unqualified over the past two years.
HOWARD DEAN: Look I’m not going to a dispute with you over that, because it sounds like you know his record much better than I. I never looked into what he was doing as the Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee. I was too busy figuring out how to win the election. So I don’t want to get into a debate on whether he’s qualified or not.
JANE HAMSHER: But do you think that’s something that the Senate should’ve looked at in deciding whether to give him the gavel or not?
HOWARD DEAN: Well, I hope they did.
Over the past year or so I’ve grappled with the idea of staying with the Democratic Party. One day I wanted to stay and then the next day I wanted to tell the party elites to fuck off. I then decided if I wanted to make change to my party I had to get involved, so starting late winter/early spring of this year, I joined my local county Democrats to do just that. We were very successful in electing Democrats locally, statewide and nationally. Proud we were of ourselves.
But now? I’m not feeling the love again. In fact, this week I’m going to withdraw from the Democratic Party and I am encouraging you to do the same, because if Howard Dean and Harry Reid aren’t listening to us, then how the fuck is that THE CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN? Huh? THIS IS NOT CHANGE…..THIS IS HOW THE PARTY ELDERS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN! I say…………..FUCK YOU!!!!
By withdrawing from the Democratic Party, YOU DON’T HAVE TO GIVE MONEY NOW! Woohoo! In fact, don’t ever give money to them again. I would love nothing more than to have the Democratic Elders crying in their rice pudding because the party is broke and wondering why they lost the 2010 races. Yep, Barack Obama hasn’t even been inaugruated yet and I’m already telling you fuckers to fuck off! And guess what? I’ll do the same thing to Barack Obama, who as of right now isn’t showing us any fucking change. If after he’s in office and decides to go down the path of Joe LIEberman and the republic party, then he will also be on the wrath of the liberals, progressives, REAL Democrats, and rational republicans!
And we wonder why I was a Dennis Kucinich supporter early on. Spit.
Spits of rage…
