The Political Chase

You’re a great Democrat Joe

It is time to take Joe Lieberman’s chairmanship away and throw him out of the party.

Reid Praises Lieberman’s Pro-Democratic Record

Harry Reid was on The Daily Show last night (promoting his new book The Good Fight) and his interview with Jon Stewart certainly did nothing to improve my perceptions of Reid over the past few years. In addition to solidifying my opinion that Reid appears to be an empty suit, he jumped in the tank [...]

Lieberman and Graham’s sprawling Middle-East resort

If Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham participate in Gen. David Petraeus’ and Ambassador Ryan Crocker’s report to Congress over then next two days, it will be a serious waste of time on the their part. The already know everything that is important (and not important).
Accordingly, they have dutifully reported their formal findings to the Wall [...]

Lieberman confused in attack on Obama

4/4/08 at 2:00 PM ETCorrection: I misquoted Lieberman in this post. I watched the video two times before posting it. Moreover, before posting, I checked the transcript at Fox (subsequently updated) and it matched what I, and obviously Fox, thought Lieberman said. However, as reader TM appropriately points out:

When I roll the tape, to my [...]

Democratic Debate on NPR

National Public Radio (NPR) hosted a debate in Des Moines for Democratic presidential candidates this afternoon. The forum was atypical — radio broadcast only and no audience at the debate — and somewhat heated according to reports. I did not listen to the debate, but media accounts indicate Hillary Clinton was slammed [...]

Klein and Mitchell Debunk Lieberman Claims Surge Working

Part 2 of Sen. Joe Lieberman’s (I/D-CT) imaginary tales on ABC’s “This Week” today.
In the first video in this post, Joe Lieberman claims the surge in Iraq is working and the U.S. has “the enemy on the run.” However, Lieberman appears to have his facts wrong or Joe Klein of TIME doesn’t report the facts. [...]

Joe Lieberman Calls Illegal Wiretapping Petty Partisanship

Appearing on ABC’s “This Week”, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I/D-CT), was asked for his comments on Sen. Richar Lugar (R-IN) abandoning the Bush administration’s Iraq policy. Lieberman said he disagreed, it is “too early to give up on the surge.”
Employing the same tactics as the Bush administration when asked about the car bombs in London this [...]

Joe Lieberman is at it again

Joe Lieberman was unbelievable on ABC’s “This Week” today. He compared himself to John F. Kennedy, Harry Truman and others; said he did not support the Democratic presidential candidates; indicated Iran at this time is the same as the Nazis in mid to late 1930’s, and more.
I’ll have the videos soon.

Lieberman asked to resign from his own party

This isn’t a joke…well, it is a joke, but the report is real. The Connecticut for Lieberman Party is calling for Sen. Joe Lieberman to resign from the Senate, and his own party, due to the remarks Lieberman made about attacking Iran on “Face the Nation.”
The Connecticut for Lieberman Chair, Dr. John Orman, called for [...]

Gen. Wesley Clark Rips Joe Lieberman

Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.) provides his input on Sen. Joe Lieberman’s (I-CT) action call to attack Iran.
Only someone who never wore the uniform or thought seriously about national security would make threats at this point. What our soldiers need is responsible strategy, not a further escalation of tensions in the region. Senator Lieberman must act [...]

Lieberman: U.S. Should "Take Aggressive Military Action Against Iran"

Getting this video of Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) prepared for publishing has been like trying to win the war in Iraq. The video publishing software has taken a serious hit - Lieberman must have taken military action against me before moving on to Iran.
On “Face the Nation” today, Senator Lieberman loaded his weapon and pointed [...]

Iran is in Lieberman’s cross hair

A brief heads up. On “Face the Nation” today, Joe Lieberman said the U.S. should attack Iran. I’m working on the video now and will have the details soon.

Specter smacks Lieberman around on CNN

Wolf Blitzer asks Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) and Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) to comment on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Syria. You have to watch this - Lieberman sounds like Cheney and Specter sounds like a tenured Democrat.
When Lieberman started claiming the Bush administration has been negotiating with Syria, Specter unloads on Lieberman and all [...]

GOP blocks Senate resolution for troop withdrawal

Republicans rejected a Democratic sponsored resolution that would require most U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq by no later than March 31, 2008. The resolution required 60 votes to pass; however the vote was 50 to 48. One Republican, Sen. Gordon Smith of Oregon, voted for the resolution and two Democrats, Senators Mark Pryor (AK) [...]

Joe Lieberman on Meet the Press

George Bush has Sen. Joe Lieberman (D I-CT) so snowed, Lieberman is now no more than a mere echo of the President.
This video clip is from today’s Meet the Press show. Lieberman is now invoking 9/11 in the exact manner and context as Bush does.
The video begins with a brief statement by Sen. Chris Dodd [...]
