Connecticut Democrats backing off Lieberman censure resolution.
From ThinkProgress



Last September, the Connecticut Democratic Party central committee agreed on a resolution censuring Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) for his vigorous support of John McCain and for speaking at the Republican National Convention. But after Lieberman escaped rebuke in the U.S. Senate, it appears now that the “anger is draining“:

“We’re in the process of updating the resolution to be more reflective of the current time and situation,” said Audrey Blondin of Litchfield, one of two committee members who proposed the censure. Words like “censure” are certain to disappear. So is any suggestion that Lieberman end his affiliation as a registered Democratic voter in Connecticut. Instead?

“An expression of disappointment, an expression of disapproval,” Blondin said. “And let it go at that.”



The right winger warmongers over at AIPAC seem to have done a number on the "Have you seen my balls" Connecticut Dem Party committee members.

3. Apparently, you can stab the Democrats in the back and walk away.
I wonder if you could get away with it if you did the same to the Republican Party.
