Liberals: Gonna Get You Sucka!

Netroots Fuming Over Lieberman Vote - Politico - 18 Nov 08
"'I think we’ve now learned that Joe Lieberman is the smartest politician in D.C. He knew Democrats were spineless capitulators who would cave at the merest threat,' Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas wrote in a post on the site. 'He’s probably having a great laugh about it just about now.'
'It appears as though four in five Democrats in the United States Senate are content with their committee leadership including a member who actively campaigned not only for the Republican Presidential nominee but also Republican Senators up for reelection this fall,' MyDD blogger Jonathan Singer chimed in. 'I knew the Senate was a collegial place... I just didn't know it was this collegial.'
Talking Point Memo’s Joshua Marshall, meanwhile, ran the mocking headline 'Breaking: Lieberman expelled from Pilates class in Senate gym' on his site. Frustrated by the seeming inaction from party leaders, some have already begun gathering pledges to donate and work for whatever Democrat runs against Lieberman when his Senate term is up in 2012.
'The race starts now ... whoever runs against Joe Lieberman,' reads the pledge being circulated by FireDogLake’s Jane Hamsher. 'Sign-up to pledge your support in Connecticut's 2012 Senate race against Joe Lieberman. By signing on today, you promise to give money, volunteer, make calls from a distance, and help defeat Joe Lieberman in any way you can.'"
