Lieberman's Troubles Go Beyond War
Some Voters Felt a Disconnect Long Before Today's Primary

FARMINGTON, Conn., Aug. 7 -- Exactly six years ago Tuesday, on a sweltering day in Nashville, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (D-Conn.) was introduced to the nation as Al Gore's vice presidential running mate. Lieberman called his selection "a miracle" and described himself as part of an "American Dream Team."

From the pinnacle of that 2000 campaign, Lieberman has seen his support crumble with astonishing swiftness. Six years after making history as the first Jew chosen for a national ticket and being hailed as one of the most respected politicians in the country, Lieberman is in the last hours of a battle to avoid a humiliating rejection by his own party at home. A poll Monday showed Lieberman behind but gaining ground in a tight race.

Lieberman's plight, according to Democrats here and in Washington, is two stories in one. The first is a metaphor for politics in the era of President Bush and how an unpopular war in Iraq has divided the electorate, inflamed the public debate and intensified an already partisan political climate.

For more than a decade, Lieberman has stood as one of the most prominent representatives of the moderate Democratic Leadership Council wing of the Democratic Party, a leading advocate of a robust and muscular foreign policy and a proponent of values-based politics in a party often seen as struggling to find its voice in the culture wars. His instincts for collegiality and bipartisanship, once regarded as virtues, are now seen as virtual disqualifications by his critics here and nationally.

As much as I respect and like Joe Lieberman, I'm hoping Lamont wins this primary so that Joe has to go independent. It is time for the Democrat string pullers to be revealed as the extreme Left-wing moonbats they are. I support Markos Moulitsas Zuniga's efforts and those of his followers to swing the Democrat Party into the full blown Socialist Workers Party it's always aspired to be.

I hope that the folks from the blogs democraticunderground.com, dailyKos.com., MyDD.com, BoomanTribune.com, BuzzFlash.com and all the rest of the moonbats gain complete control of the Democrat agenda. In fact I'm contemplating sending them all a nice fat donation for their political campaigns. The combination of them and the 501c groups like MoveOn.org, CommonCause and People for the American Way, should just about assure a Republican majority in Congress and a Republican President for the rest of my lifetime. And that's alright with me.
