Reply #77: Sometimes I'm amazed at how much DU resembles

Free Republic. I'm amazed at the (willfull?) ignorance displayed by so many posters who claim that Lieberman is no better or different than Miller, or that he is simply repub lite or Bush lite or what have you.

Lieberman is a Middle East hawk who voted for the Patriot Act. Other than that, he's had a more liberal voting record during the Bush Reign than probably 3/4ths of our elected Dem officials. He's vehemently pro-choice, opposed to school/state sponsored paryer, voted against the flag burning amendment, voted against the Medicare monstrosity, voted against Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy, and very environmentally friendly.

HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT EQUATE TO BEING BUSH LITE?

I just don't get some of you people. Lieberman certainly isn't perfect, but he's no Zell Miller. Or even John Breaux.

And if you can't see that this is a calcualted move by the Bush administration to steal another Senate seat, then I have bridge that you might be interested in...


*If* Lieberman accepts the supposed offer, then the Dem defector tag would be appropriate. But until we know all the facts, it's usually best to reserve judgment.
