Extreme Left Running the Democrat Show
Written by ChemistryDave on June 19th, 2008Posted today on DKos by the spewmaster himself regarding the telco amnesty legislation:
When we started this “netroots” thing, we worked to get “more and better Democrats” elected. At first, we focused on the “more” part. This year, we’re focusing a bit more on the “better” part. And in 2010, we’ll have enough Democrats in the House to exclusively focus on the “better” part.
That means primary challenges. And as we decide who to take on, let it be known that this FISA vote will loom large. Voting to give telecommunication companies retroactive immunity may not guarantee a primary challenge, but it will definitely loom large.
We kicked Joe Lieberman out of the caucus. We got rid of Al Wynn this year. Those were test runs, so to speak. We’ve got a lot more of that ready to unleash in 2010.

I love how he tries to spin Lieberman’s win in the general, and the fact that he still caucuses with the Democrats, as “we kicked him out of the caucus.”
Just keep on pushing him, guys… next thing you know, he may just decide on his own not to caucus with the Democrats.

I have to say they are behind conservatives in this regard as good Republicans have been trying to get rid of some of the worst RINOs with some success for years now.
The whole Lieberman thing shows how petty they have become. He is essentially a good Democrat on everything but the war.
