5. He's Not Allowed To Call Himself That
I do believe there's a law against it, that's why his party is "CT for Lieberman"

11. The Dems SHOULD Not Allow That
I think he's just talking smack, the name he got signatures under was "CT for Lieberman". He can't change it now.

15. can someone please explain?
I am new to this... well sort of...my dad is a Democrat like no other, so when I was younger, I just did what I was asked of me...then I didn't vote for years...long story...and now I know I'm democratic, just by the way I think, if that makes any sense? Since I am just waking the hell up to the realization middle class is going down the tubes, and the poor folks have no chance in hell, I want to do something, anything, but I need to know a lot more before I can begin. My dad has said the Democrats are split, can someone please explain? Please be patient with me.

16. A real Democrat
Joe Lieberman has pressed on even though he was defeated by a questionable Democrat.

17. Lieberman is trying to defeat the properly elected nominee for the party.
He has clearly expressed his intentions to subvert the Democratic Party. If you still consider him a Democrat, you've lost your mind.

18. right, this is such an important point- he should be throwing his
support behind lamont- if he was any type of democrat at all.

22. Precisely. But he's not a Democrat.
He's an opportunistic fuck who's been using the apparatus of the Democratic Party for years to advance his own personal ambitions. When the Party is no longer serving this function, he abandons it.

19. There are no laws against it
He's not trying to undermine the party, he's just trying to retain his office.

20. By trying to defeat the Democratic candidate
He's well within his legal right to do so, but he's certainly lost any claim he could make for being a Democrat.
