More on The See You Joe, Democrats
Posted by Andy on August 10th, 2006
GOP Chairman Ken Mehlman issued a statement that said of Lieberman’s defeat, “It speaks volumes about the new Democrat Party: if you stand for a strong defense and victory in the War on Terror, you have no place in the party and you must be purged. … Watch how the new Democrat Party always chooses weakness over strength, blaming America first.”
But White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said, “I know a lot of people have tried to make this a referendum on the president; I would flip it.
“I think instead it’s a defining moment for the Democratic Party, whose national leaders now have made it clear that if you disagree with the extreme left in their party they’re going to come after you.”
Oh, and this too.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., who’d supported Lieberman’s reelection, offered Lamont support and campaign contributions. Liberal blogger David Sirota urged that Lieberman be stripped of his Senate committee assignments if he runs.
Talk about toeing the party line. There is no independence in the Democratic party. If you do step over the line, you’re out.

Andy you ever hear of Gary Laidig, Sheila Kiscaden and that senator that ran with Tim Penny. What about Arne Carlson and Dave Durenburger.
Nationally? Every single person who left the employment of this administration and had some criticism has been thrown under the bus.
