2. Not too bizarre

It's worth keeping in mind that Lieberman is more liberal than Byrd on choice and other social issues (though is much more hawkish than Byrd.

I always looked at Byrd as one that would go the other way on this. I was hoping the concept of Alito deferring so much unchecked power to the executive branch would convince him to go against Alito. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

4. that was my hope

it saddens me beyond belief that byrd does not realize his vote is for the shredding of the US constitution he holds so dear to his heart. wtf? :cry:

5. Patriot Act

not that I really think the democrats will rally to filibuster it,(the Patriot Act) but I wonder if that has something to do with the big picture. I think a lot of Robert Byrd. His speech on the original Patriot act was classic. So is he.

3. I heard that he's trying to get more support from people further left....

but in my opinion it's just an act. Like the two senators that want to be our next president (who I'll leave un-named) that always vote and act like republicans.

6. Strange days, indeed.

Most peculiar, momma.

7. Lieberman has always been a progressive. Except not on the middle

east. Should be no surprize.

9. No kidding.

Most people are too knee-jerk around here to actually look into what he's been for and against in a larger sense.

8. If Lieberman supports the

filibuster bet the farm and the first born that the effort is doomed.

11. Why's that?

He has bad mojo or something?
