Joe Lieberman has launched consistent, deeply partisan attacks on President-elect Barack Obama, questioning his patriotism and fitness to lead. While Lieberman campaigned for John McCain and spoke on his behalf at the Republican National Convention, he spread some of the GOP's nastiest smears. Think Progress has provided thorough evidence of Lieberman's partisan politics. Lieberman should not be allowed to have subpoena power to investigate the Obama administration as chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. In fact, he should not be allowed to remain chairman of this or any other committee.
Lieberman has proven he cannot be trusted to hold a high rank within the Democratic caucus. That is why we launched Lieberman Must Go last summer, a campaign that caught Congress' attention when we delivered a petition with over 43,000 signatures. Now, we ask you to help us escalate the pressure by contacting members of the Senate Democratic Steering Committee. Tell them to strip Lieberman of his chairmanship in the Democratic caucus.
We have included a sample script and phone numbers below for you to use, and we ask that you be polite when you explain why Lieberman Must Go.

Hopefully someday they'll let jews into the GOP.
Re: Lieberman Must Go Once and for All
As much as I cannot stand this Lieberman creature and trust Harry Reid as far as I could throw him, I applaud Mr Obama for extending an olive branch to the senator from Connecticut, for three reasons: 1) He's a better man than I am, keeps setting the example of NOT using the politics of spite, 2) Lieberman votes 90% democrat on domestic issues, his idiocy comes from a hawkish pro-Israel worldview, and 3) The old pragmatic axiom of "keep your friends close and your enemies closer".
Lieberman will be the subject of ridicule all around the Beltway for the next couple of years, walking around with a "dunce" cap and a "kick me" note dangling from his ass, he's not going to be a happy camper as he pays for his stupidity.
That said, as much as I'd love to see as much external pressure as possible for him to feel Damocles' Sword hanging over his head every day, something has to be done also about do-nothing, good-for-nothing, business-as-usual Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid as heads of their respective chambers of Congress.
