Reply #138: One loss and now any moderate is unwelcome? [View All]

[last1standing]

I don't know if you supported Lieberman because you were "told" he was moderate or if you've looked extensively at his record and decided that's where the "middle" was. All I can say is that Lieberman didn't lose because of the war, he lost because he's Joe Lieberman, a nasty little man who took every disagreement with other Dems as an excuse to castigate the "far left" wing of the party. He never understood that most of CT was lumped in with that group and felt personally insulted whenever he called them traitors or partisan.

As for Holy Joe voting with Dems 95% of the time, that has been proven false time and again. When one takes his votes that helped make real policy decisions its found that he rarely voted with his party. Now he has seen the consequences of his actions.

In some ways I might be the most left wing person on this site, but I have no problem with real moderates being part of the party. In fact, I don't have much problem with conservatives like Ben Nelson. I do have a problem with anyone who insults me and my views just because they aren't theirs. Apparently, many others did as well.
