Don't you think it was dirty what the Democrats did to Joe Lieberman?

Question

He is one of a few Democrats the realize what we are up against fighting terrorism. If a Democrat is elected,I would rather it be him!! What say you?

Even though he is a jew

Answer 1

Lieberman is a moderate republican. What are you talking about? If he isn't representing the democrats of CT, then they have every right to boot him. That is politics. I would expect the same from any party.

He isn't "fighting terrorism", he was blindly putting faith in W's failed policies.

We will be fighting terrorists for the next 1000 years and beyond, assuming mankind survives that long. America probably won't even exist as we know it then.

You are being short-sighted. Look at the big picture. There will always be bad guys. Somebody will deal with it, and that person will do it effectively as a rep, dem, or ind.

I personally wish Powell would run for prez.

Answer 2

Nobody did anything to Joe Lieberman, he did it to himslef. He was representing his party and the people of his state. If the Party doesn't vote for him might it be because he'd strayed from what they taught was right. For many the past few years as the situation in Iraq has worsened Sen. Lieberman has blindly supported the way the war is being fought, which is wrong. The reason so many soldiers are dying is because Bush and Rumsfeld ignored the military who advised them. They were told to have the police ready to come in (soldiers are trained to fight and killnot keep the peace), they were told not to disband the iraqui army (they did and also told the soldiers they wouldn't get paid; this in a country where Saddam and his friends had millions of dollars and arms lying around); Lieberman ignored these facts and his constituent's disappointment with the conduct of the war in Iraq and so he suffered the consequences.

Answer 3

No. That's politics. Primaries are especially vulnerable to a motivated extremist base because of the low voter turnout.

The funny thing is the people who now think Joe is a traitor to the party or is being selfish by running as an independent. It has to be the most bizarre and twisted thinking I've ever beheld.

Now, Joe is as liberal as they come. But because of his 'heresy' against the party line, the Komissars sent him to the Gulag.

But Joe understands that politics ends at the water - that when we are in a war, we all need to support the mission, that it harms our nation and results in more unnecessary deaths when we politicize war.

Answer 4

Dirty? How so, by electing Ned Lamont through the USA electoral system... Sound's like normal thing to me... I can't wait untill we elect a democrat for president that realize we are up against Iraq, which never had any relation to terrorism...

Answer 5

I think it was real stupid. The democrats are aligning themselves with the far, far left in Cindy Sheehans, Micheal Moore's, Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, etc. This group of people have done nothing but criticize the war on terror. There solution is, wave the white flag, surrender, cut and run, and we can learn Arabic in America. All gone are the FDR's and Truman democrats.

Answer 6

I heard that Joe Lieberman did it to himself.

Answer 7

What, holding a primary election and having the voters decide?

If holding elections has become dirty, we might as well give up and start burning our constitutions right now.

Answer 8

You think that was bad just wait to see what we have in store for you on November 7th

Answer 9

he should've changed parties, then; the Democratic party stance is that the war is wrong; Liberman upset his constituents, so they voted for someone else

I'd say I'm surprised his political friends are abandoning him so quickly

Answer 10

I think it is dirty no matter what Democrats do, period.

Crooked, back stabbing bastards.
