Things are looking more and more uncertain on the House side when it comes to the new health care bill coming out of the senate. Reps. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) and Louise M. Slaughter (D-N.Y.), the co-chairs of the 190 member strong abortion rights caucus are question the Constitutionality of the new anti-abortion language: As the […]
What a bunch of useless fucking cowards: Senate Democrats emerged from a special caucus meeting Monday night determined to pass a health-care bill by Christmas — but without the Medicare buy-in plan that liberals had sought as an alternative to a government insurance option. The Medicare buy-in was never warmly embraced by moderate Democrats, but […]
Talk about the duh moment to top all duh moments: In a closed-door meeting of his caucus, the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, told Democrats that Republicans were not interested in passing a bill. In effect, he prepared them for trench warfare, saying the Democrats must stick together and should be ready to […]
I mean look at this news: Sen. Joe Lieberman Says He’ll Back Republicans in 2010 Congressional Races Now I’m sure that the Democrats will instantly hold a meeting today and kick Lieberman out of the caucus. As matter of fact I am so abso-fuckin-lutley sure of it that I am going to turn off the […]

I posted about California’s GOP punishing some of its members for voting for tax hikes the other day. It looks like that notion is picking up steam as the RNC’s Michael Steele is now talking about punishing senators Collins, Specter and Snowe for their support of the stimulus. (h/t AmericaBLOG) Something we used to hear […]
The hope of 60 seats in the Senate is now dead: Relieved Republicans celebrated a resounding win in Georgia’s hard-fought U.S. Senate runoff, a victory that denied Democrats a filibuster-proof majority and cemented the state’s reputation as a GOP bastion. Sen. Saxby Chambliss trounced Democrat Jim Martin Tuesday night, winning his second term by a […]
Joe Lieberman won more than just the vote to stay in the caucus and keep his chairmanship today. He is now the focus of attention of all the blogs on this side of the blogosphere. For an attention whore like Lieberman, that is orgasmic. People need to just forget about Joe and move on. We […]
I have been staying pretty clear of all the Lieberman stuff going on. Would I like to see him stripped of his chairmanship? Yes I would. Will I be upset if he isn’t? No. There has been a lot going on in the left blogosphere over Lieberman. A lot of bigger blogs are adamant about […]
Good, now can the Democrats move to remove him from their caucus?
