What if the left had a guy like Lieberman?

[VMI Dem]

Willing to stick to his guns. Not giving a shit what the centrist assholes and right wingers said. Not interested in making compromises and trying to make everyone happy.

Damn...that would be a fierce advocate.

1. Their is nothing admirable about Lieberman.

We need sensible progressives, not inflexible, vengeful pricks.

[Unvanguard]

2. Any Senator has the capacity to grandstand. Lieberman just has the luck

to sit on the filibuster pivot.

[Clio the Leo]

3. If the left had ONE more guy like Sherrod Brown....

.... and throw in ONE more Bernie Sanders for good measure, then what Lieberman did or thought wouldn't matter.

5. Then it would be up to Ben Nelson

[Clio the Leo]

7. Nope ......

.... if there were 62 Dems in the caucus....... lol, then we'd only have to worry about Landrieu and Lincoln. :)

4. unlike the spineless Obama who fights for republicans instead of us

6. Willing to stick to his guns? That made me laugh. Joe changed so hard to get elected last time here.

He has become the Republican Senator from CT, just an independent in name only. He never "stuck to his guns". He is simply reaching his hand out to the insurance companies in Hartford and begging for help because 2012 may not be so easy for him now that most Dems in CT dislike him.
