The Stainless Steel Broom

Holy Joe Lieberman castigates all those bad boys and girls who exercised their democratic rights and voted against him:

Foxnews asks "Will Connecticut senator's independent run help embattled GOP candidates?"

Joe's response? "Well, they should have thought of that before they had the primary."

What a loyal guy. At least Joe stands for something; he stands for Joe.

But we're just getting started. Another Democratic primary in Maryland is starting to heat up, and it looks like another Lieberman-style Demolican is about to get hoist on his own petar.

Long-time congressman Al Wynn is now seriously challenged by a newcomer who came out of nowhere, Donna Edwards. And now the race has tightened, and the Washington Post has endorsed Edwards.

Wynn is the worst kind of Demolican. He supported repeal of the estate tax, and supported the bankruptcy bill. He supported the administration's energy bill in 2003 which gave subsidies to the big energy companies (like they need them), and has opposed increasing fuel efficiency standards and campaign finance reform.

In a recent debate, Edwards, an attorney who as an apprentice clerked for Wynn (in 1980), tore the Congressman from stem to stern and left him, in the Post's words, "out of sorts and on the defensive."

Worst of all, he voted for the war, although he now claims he regrets having done so. Too late, chum.

Personally, I'll never vote for anyone who voted for the war. I won't vote for Feinstein this time around.

It's time to get out the broom and sweep out these Demolicans, and put together a party that actually stands for something.

There's no use expending a lot of anger on Republicans. We all know what they are, and you don't get mad at a garbage can for smelling bad.

However, sleazy politicos like Lieberman and Wynn who call themselves liberals and then try to have things both ways, to protect their shady sources of revenue and influence, have outlived their usefulness, if they ever had any.

And before we take the country back, we're going to have to take our own party back.
