Separation Anxiety
State Democrats can't bring themselves to formally punish Joe Lieberman
(CT) Steve Harris of Hartford: "We got shit on by Joe Lieberman"
He didn't give a shit about us before, why's he going to give a shit about us now?"
That's how Democrat Steve Harris sums up the loveless relationship between Connecticut Democrats and Sen. Joe Lieberman.
Harris wasn't always so cynical. He voted for Lieberman in 1988 when Joe won his first term in the Senate, helping turn out the north end of Hartford, where Harris has been a self-described "grassroots Democratic foot soldier" for decades.
But during his first term, Harris says, Lieberman came to Hartford to meet with Democrats who were upset about votes he'd taken. Harris says Lieberman's response was: I heard you. I don't agree. If you guys don't like it, you know what you can do next election.
