Sen. Lieberman...where's your back bone? You won as an independent. The Democrats shunned you, told you to quit the race. (Howard Dean, Hillary Clinton). You lost the primary, and said that it wasn't good enough that you, "Couldn't let that result stand." You ran without their support, and without any major party's backing, and you won. You beat the person you lost the primary to. You beat the Republican.
Why is it now, you say, "Call me a Democrat!" Why are you so worried that they will still give you your seniority? Why not give them the ol' Cheney "Go *expletive*
yourself"? I don't mean this to be so rough, but how can you let them throw you out to the fire, expecting you to lose, then stomp their pick and grovel back to them? You are on the high ground now! You are a hot commodity. You have one of the most coveted positions possible in an almost evenly divided senate. You're conservative enough to swing votes either way. Yet you're going to give yourself for free to the people who didn't even look back when you were dropped, the people who told you to quit and go home...
I know most senators don't care about the people who voted them in, but look at who it was Lieberman. More Republicans than Democrats. I'm not saying be a republican, I'm saying don't you owe something to the people who voted for you, and not just the people with power? Don't you ower yourself something as a man, something we like to call pride? Oh wait...nevermind, I forget I'm talking about politicians, they don't care about so called constituents, and they don't care about pride. Voters are just numbers, and pride is up for sale. Makes me sick.
