Congressional Dems Purge Relative Moderates

Don't expect Congress to put any brakes on Obama's immature radicalism. Currently the party is conducting Stalinesque purges to rid itself of any trace of moderation. Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman and Michigan Rep. John Dingell are moonbats by any reasonable definition, yet they have failed to drink the last drop of Kool-Aid: Lieberman by wanting to defeat Islamic terrorists, Dingell by hesitating to sacrifice the auto industry for the dubious benefit of polar bears. Their punishment is intended to strike fear in moderates.
Last week, Majority Leader Harry Reid informed the Connecticut renegade that rank-and-file sentiment against him had climbed to a point where he could not stay as Homeland Security Chairman. He may also be booted from the Democratic caucus.
As you'll recall, Lieberman was the Dems' VP candidate only 8 years ago. Yet he was forced to run as an Independent in 2006, after his fellow liberals blackballed him for wanting to win the war in Iraq that so many of them had voted for. Nonetheless he has voted with Democrats, even though he had the chance to tip the balance of power away from them. But then he campaigned for the centrist McCain against the radical leftist Obama. He will not be forgiven.
Dingleberry is a New Deal Democrat who's been in Congress since 1955. He chairs the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Beverly Hills moonbat Henry Waxman — the guy who helped Code Pink funnel money to the terrorists killing our troops in Fallujah — is mounting a challenged backed by Nancy Pelosi. Like Pelousy, Waxman is an unhinged fanatic on the topic of global warming, which he wants to use as a pretext to hamstring American industry. Energy policy written by maniacs like Waxman could very easily plunge the country into a depression.
Never one to place sanity before progressive ideology, Obama agrees that clean air laws should be used to suppress activities that produce harmless CO2. This covers all human activities.
We are in for a very rough ride. The only good news is that the media's inevitable attempts to blame Bush for the coming train wreck will render it a complete farce, to be taken no more seriously than Russians took Pravda in the Soviet Union.
