I think the media has the reason for Leiberman hatered is wrong.
They keep sayig LW Dems hate him for his stance on the war. That's sure not why I dislike him!

I don't like the war either, but my problem with Leiberman is that every time there is a close vote in the Senate, we can NEVER depend on HIM to vote with the Dems! It doesn't seem to matter if it's SC nominees, or any other Pub issue. Quite a few Dems have not taken a strong stance against the war, but most of them are dependable on other Dem issues, Joe is NOT!

3. Right, and it's like he goes out of his way to screw us over.
He seems to take glee in stabbing Democrats in the back while treating Bushco with the utter respect and reverence. He's hurt by others' lack of loyalty to him yet has not shown an ounce of loyalty to Democrats in years!

6. 2000...2000...2000...The first cut is the deepest... and that was a doozy
He jumped on the bandwagon with the Bush thugs without a moment's thought and helped them steal that election.

13. Yep. I sometimes wonder if he was a plant. Seriously.
He's been so friggin' awful I wonder if he's been in cahoots with Bushco for years. :tinfoilhat:

5. One of Tweety's guests - Bob Shrum - maintained the main
reason liberals are so pissed at Joementum is because he's become such a butt buddy to dimson. (Paraphrasing;-) )
That sounds about right to me.

9. I don't hate Lieberman, but I do want to replace him in the Senate
with someone who opposes this war and will work with progressives in the Senate to stop the Bush agenda.

12. Well, I'm glad to see it's not only me who thinks this way.
I'm sure there are many Pubs who feel the same about Collins, Snow, cna a few ofhter Pubs that we Dems can many times depend on to vote with US!

It just surprises me that the media isn't saying that.
