Lieberman Should Be Recalled.


Lieberman stole his election from Ned Lamont in November, claiming he would be an independent democrat. He played loose with the rules, lost to a worthy candidate in Lamont in the democratic primary fair and square, then cried foul and declared himself an independent. Most democrats were scared and stayed on the sidelines, never really campaigning for Lamont who by the way would have been yet another strong voice for progressives in the VERY conservative senate along with the elections of Sherrod Brown and Bernie Sanders.

But, the dems played it safe while Lieberman was funded by Bush and his cronies, called us traitors, and gave support to this war as much as anyone in the Senate. He lead off the Iraq debate for the Republicans just before the election remember. Well, now he is headlining a fundraiser for Susan Collins, the Republican from Maine to earn money for her and help her defeat a very strong, worthy and progressive candidate in Congressman Tom Allen (D) of Maine.
The Voters of Connecticut who are overwhelmingly democrats should recall this carpetbagger. Go home Joe, to where you belong - the scrap heap of american politics...join your buddy John McCain. You will be remembered for selling your senatorial soul to the likes of the criminals currently running our country.
