Holy Joe disenfranchised votes by not accepting the will of the voters.

So how did he win the election then? I doubt he rigged it. I also haven't heard of him going out and doing any voter suppression. You may want to read this.

By doing that any claims to having credible ethics or professionalism or even decency were left behind in Joe's race to burnish himself in bronze.

Well, if you read what I said above, then you have to know this is a flawed premise, since he didn't disenfranchise anyone. His party abandoned him, apparently because he committed the high crime of voting for the same thing a bunch of other democrats did. So, they ran someone against him and Joe used a previously existing law, which was on the books for plenty of years, to run in the main event as an independent.

Joementum trying to say he's a good Democrat after spitting on Democrats who voted.

Good Democrats like you who called him a traitor in the run up to the primary because he voted for something other Democrats voted for? By standing up for civil rights that the Democrats don't stand up for? (I think Joe's record of defending Gay rights is a fair bit better than most other Democrats)

Whose vote was not counted? How did he steal votes or otherwise hurt someone? What because more people in Connecticut voted for him than the Democrat or the Republican? Somehow that is stealing? If you ask me, the two-party system is more of a slap in the face to the concept of voting and democracy than Joe Lieberman. Joe Lieberman represents all that a democracy should, because even without the backing of a massive party, he still won because he represents his constituents.

If you want to defend that carry on, but not standing up for principle and on principle is Joe's historic claim to fame and everlasting shameful legacy of disgrace.

Yes, I want to defend a man who is liked by the people he represents and who does what they want. I will defend a man from malicious slandering by people hiding in the shadows who seem to think he is the anti-christ simply for voting for a war that a hell of a lot of other people voted for.

There are many dead people who Joe is responsible for since he stupidly and continuously enabled Bush's war agenda.

Yes, well. Please give me a list of every bill that Lieberman voted for that enabled the BushCo War, and be sure to begin attacking all the other Democrats that voted for it.
