... it does not change his attitudes toward business or war. It was Mr. Lieberman who threatened to defund the SEC when in 1996, the SEC proposed tougher accounting standards, the likes of which might have prevented the wholesale meltdown of companies like Enron. And, he has been a hawk with regard to this war from the very start.

Lieberman isn't accountable to the Christian Coalition, but to his state--Connecticut, in which he enjoys close to 70% approval by Republicans. If he were to be challenged by a rather liberal independent who was against the war (which Weicker is), and if anti-war sentiment is reasonably strong in Connecticut, it's difficult to predict what he might do.

You can call him a Democrat and you can quote NARAL, but his open fawning over this shitheel of a president turns my stomach--it tells me what he truly respects.

Cheers.
