Any way to recall
an election on a Senator? Darrell Issa did such a "wonderful job" in California to get rid of Gray Davis as Governor, that recalling a public official seems like it can be fairly easy to do, huh?

So, think about it: the state of Connecticut elected what they were SURE was a Democratic senator, and NOW, with the asshole thinking of switching sides because of his neo-con leanings and the war in Iraq, the state of Connecticut must be pretty pissed off.

Can anything be done? Can the asshole's true leanings be shown to the people of Connecticut in such a way that he can be recalled? If so, this "balckmail attempt" by Lieberman needs to be shown for the jack booted thug action that it really is.

1. No, only way to get him out of the Senate other than
voluntarily is through expulsion by his fellow Senators, a 2/3 vote 67 to expel

2. No

Senator's can't be recalled.

4. CT is gonna get just what they *VOTED* for.
That's a religionist wacko who sees everybody else as wrong and puts his beliefs above country, above duty, above oath of office, and certainly above party. Furthermore, like all other religionist wackos, he's not above lying his ass off to obtain/maintain power.

Fuck him.
