Lieberman for Lieberman
Sen. Joe Lieberman is willing to run anyway he can. And he is willing to reject the voter's choice at the Democratic primary in Connecticut, if necessary, to preserve his incumbency. He says he is doing it for the good of the people.
If the voters choose Liberman's challenger in the primary, Ned Lamont, Sen. Lieberman announced he will reject the voter's choice and run in November as an independent. This is precisely the kind of behavior that demonstrates how little respect far too many incumbents
have for our political system, our democracy, and our government. Winning is everything, and everyone else's concerns are secondary.
In a somewhat biased article, Paul Rogat Loeb, writes about Lieberman's loyalties. Loeb's article misses the mark though, pointing to Lieberman's loyalty to the Republican leadership, when reality appears to reflect Lieberman's loyalty to the preservation of his own power, regardless of which party's voters he must pander to.
Comments
I didn't know a couple of those things about Liberman.
Most (if not all) of the incumbent politicians are irresponsible, greedy, and selfish.
It is sad how voters keep re-electing them, regardless of the incumbent politicians' rampant irresponsibility, greed, corruption, and abuse of power.
And, the Republicans just don't want to miss a chance to pick up another seat (if possible).
The whole bunch don't give a damn about the country . . . just about their own self-gain, and securing their own cu$hy seats of power.
And the fact is, neither party is all that different. They just like to perpetuate that myth so that they can keep voters distracted from the extreme corruption and malfeasance of most (if not all) bought-and-paid-for incumbent politicians.
Most (if not all) incumbent politicians love to fuel the petty partisan warfare, while incumbent politicians talk-talk-talk, give themselves raises and cu$hy perk$, and allow our pressing problems to grow in number and severity.

Lieberman is going down, if the latest polls are accurate.
