Reading Mike Madden's article, "Say it ain't so, Joe" brought up some interesting suggestions about Joe Turncoat's fate.  What shoudl the dems do with a traitor in their midst.  I am one of the liberals that the article talks about that want to see his head on a stick, metaphorically.  We have someone that ran on the dem ticket in 2000 with someone that has inarguably become a spokesman for the left and the green movement, yet now Joe wants to back a guy that is a replica of Bush.  McCain use to be his own person, but he isn't anymore.  McCain lies, consistently, on major issues.  He consistently misrepresents himself and his past.  He lies about what took place in Hanoi; really, does anyone believe that stupid cross in the dirt story?  It's interesting to see that in previous articles from the early seventies John never makes any comment on the cross, or the football roster, or any of that crap.  The only thing he mentions was that his captors were S & M freaks.  I'm serious, I couldn't make this stuff up; I don't have the imagination that McCain has.

 So, back to Joe.  Joe has decided that McCain is his man.  As I understand it the only issue they agree on is the war in Iraq.  Joe continues to hold onto the notion that we have to be there to fight the good fight and we can't leave until we have victory.  Too bad everyone else disagrees.  General P. said recently that this isn't the kind of war that ends with victory flags being waved like in WWII.  Bush, possibly the dumbest president we've ever had, has finally seen the light and is finishing talks to be out of Iraq by 2011.  What the Hell is Joe holding on to?  What is it that seems so important to him.  Well I think that "media whore" is a correct label.  Nothing, I mean nothing, seems to be more important to Joe than Joe.

What should the dems do with Joe?  I've mentioned that I'm one of those liberals that wants him burnt to toast, but I also don't want to see them dems weakened.  I agree with Madden's assertion that perhaps the best thing to do is to strip him of his titles.  Of course Joe will be stripped of his titles.  The man should be left alone to himself so that he can continuously wallow in his regret that he backed the wrong horse, sold himself out for publicity, and turned on all the people the voted for him in 2000.  That isn't nearly enough though.  Joe should be ostracized in the Senate.  He's doing it to himself for now anyway.  But will that continue after the election and Obama takes the whitehouse?  I doubt it.  I think it will be, after a short while, a picture of a dog with tail tucked between its legs beggin to come into the house.  Furthermore, when Joe's time is up the dems should through every possilbe resource into the dem candidate opposing him.  Every possible resource.  If Obama himself has to go and speak at a townhall and endorse Joe's opposer then so be it.  Get that man out of the Senate.  Get rid of Joe.
