Ok I've Had It--Please Vote Against Joementum:
Edited on Sun Jul-09-06 08:28 PM by mdguss
I'm a moderate Democrat. I could once understand Joe Lieberman, and I even voted for him once. But a Democrat would back the Democratic nominee. Try to win the primary, but if you can't, there's something called party loyalty. Joe did that after he lost the presidential nomination to John Kerry (and say what you want, but if Kerry had dropped out in 2003, Lieberman probably would've won the nomination).

But now he's putting fellow Democrats in a very difficult position. He's saying to middle-of-the-road voters that the Democratic Party isn't a home for moderates anymore, which is crap: the Nelsons, Bob Casey, Jr., Evan Bayh, Mark Pryor, and many others all have a nice, warm home here in the Democratic Party. It has stopped being about ideas, and is now about Joe's personal ego. This moderate Democrat thinks it's time for Joe to go. Evan Bayh will be a fine replacement as leader of the moderate Democrats.

2. Thanks:
I hope you're joined by 60% of the primary voters. Lieberman's independent run is really damaging the party.
