6. IMHO, he's nothing more than a common political opportunist who
has no sense of loyalty to his party, to his constituency, and to the American public. Joe Lieberman is campaigning for Joe Lieberman, and nobody else. He let down Bill Clinton; he let down Al Gore; he let down his party by voting republican and then claiming conciliatory bipartisonship (fancy name for hypocrisy). He hasn't earned the right to be returned to the Senate.

7. I said other because DINO is too mild an epithet
for someone who is so self-serving, condescending, and while not an idiot is not worthy of his intellectual pretensions, either.

Frankly, he disgusts me. DINOs can just be hiding on the fringes, trying to keep their cushy jobs and not alienate the big money they are beholden to, which is bad enough. Joe Lieberman is SO much worse than that, being a lapdog apologist for the * regime and NOW trying to sabotage the election out of his own blatant self-interest. He actually said that he believes his candidacy "will be good for the Democratic party."
:mad:

8. A Democrat is just a title. It's the person that counts.
If people are to be judged, it should not be for the titles and offices they hold but what they do with their lives.

10. I will say this about Joe Lieberman
I have an enourmous amount of respect for him in that he was a freedom rider in the 1960's, and went into the South to help register Black voters. I think that speaks volumes about his character.

However, I have been disappointed with him recently, especially his playing the role of a war hawk, and wanted to force his way into the general election this year, dispite what may happen in the primaries.

12. Other
I didn't like him for 2004 and I don't like him for today. He talks out of both sides of his mouth and is too much of a yes man.
