Sore Loserman – Why Lieberman Must Drop His Independent BidPaul Hogarthbyline‚ Aug. 09‚ 2006Last night, Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman lost a hard-fought Democratic primary to challenger Ned Lamont. Despite campaign visits from party leaders like Bill Clinton and Barbara Boxer to boost the incumbent Senator’s campaign, Lamont proved that Joe Lieberman is out of step with his party, his state and his country. More than any Democrat, Lieberman has consistently supported a failed war in Iraq that has hemorrhaged American lives, the American budget, and America’s standing in the world. This election sends a powerful message to politicians of all parties that “stay the course” is the wrong strategy, and it shows Democrats in particular that they cannot continue to blindly follow President Bush’s policies. |
