Reply #12: Well, there's the war [View All]

And the 2,600 dead Americans from that. And the half a trillion dollars wasted. And the squandering of our national honor, prestige and credibility. Oh yeah, the uncounted tens of thousands of dead Iraqis whose only sin was getting in the way of the American wehrmacht.

But if that's not enough, I suppose Lieberman's evisceration (along with the gang of 14) of the only tool the Democrats had to fight against horrific nominations in the Senate. His kowtowing to the administration line, his kiss from Bush, his being the first to his feet (and the only Democrat) for a standing ovation for Bush at his 2005 State of the Whatever speech.

Still not enough? Chief Justice John Roberts. Justice Alito. Ambassador Bolton.

Repeated warnings to Democrats that they'd better not diss the Commander in Chief, no matter how ruinous or disastrous his policies turn out to be.

More? His assiduous padlocking of the stable door once the horse is safely away by voting over and over again for cloture (ending Senate debate) and then voting against the legislation/nominee/proposal in a feeble attempt to cover his ass when he knew all along that the confirmation or the bill passage was a done deal.

Do you need more? That's all I got off the top of my head, but I can go on about his squishiness on abortion, his slavish devotion to corporate rights over individual rights, his screwing of the little guy, and his promotion of the overrich if you want.
