Wake up Dems: GET RID OF JOE LIEBERMAN!

It is way past due for Joe Lieberman to be place right where he needs to be... by himself, outside of any caucus. This is especially a message to The Senate Democratic Caucus, who has been way too forgiving in the past. Old Joe has come up and bitten you once again and it is time to get rid of this wishy-washy, problematic, flip flopper once and for all.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I do not trust any politician that changes sides. The fundamentals of any party do not change. Issues may change, attitudes may change, but the core values and belief systems don't.

Joe Lieberman .. you want to be an independent ... fine.. go off in a corner somewhere and be independent. You have no business heading any committee. Your true colours are showing yet again and you cannot be trusted .... PERIOD.

Edward M Kennedy, dead at 77

BOSTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy, a towering figure in the Democratic Party who took the helm of one of America's most fabled political families after two older brothers were assassinated, died at age 77, his family said.

"Edward M. Kennedy, the husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle we loved so deeply, died late Tuesday night at home in Hyannis Port (Massachusetts)," the Kennedy family said in a statement early on Wednesday.

One of the most influential and longest-serving senators in U.S. history -- a liberal standard-bearer who was also known as a consummate congressional dealmaker -- Kennedy had been battling brain cancer, which was diagnosed in May 2008.

His death marked the twilight of a political dynasty and dealt a blow to Democrats as they seek to answer President Barack Obama's call for an overhaul of the healthcare system.

Kennedy was a longtime advocate of healthcare reform, a signature issue of Obama's presidency. Obama said on Wednesday he was heartbroken to hear of the death of Kennedy, a crucial supporter of his presidential candidacy.
