I like Harry Reid. I think he's done a great job holding together the 40 odd cats that make up the Democratic caucus, I think he's done a great job maintaining unity and using parliamentary manoeuvres to try to stop as much of the odious Republican agenda as he could. And I will be forever grateful for his support of the attempted Alito filibuster.
For these reasons, I am willing to forgive his support of the backstabbing opportunistic war-monger and half-wit Sean Hannity-lovin' Republicrat Joe
"Short Bus Ride" Lieberman. However, if Senator Reid has information that I don't regarding Lieberaman's commitment to support Ned Lamont should the electoral gods be kind enough to grang Lamont a primary victory...
**"Did it bother you that Lieberman has indicated he'd run as an independent if he loses the Democratic primary -- or at least that he's leaving the door open to that?
He's never told me that. In fact, the letter I wrote for him said exactly the opposite."**
...if Senator Reid has such information, I, as a loyal Democratic voter and contributor, would like to know about it. Until such time as Lieberman pledges publicly to care more about the party than his own future, my checkbook remains closed to the DSCC.
Senators Reid, Boxer, Clinton, Schumer et al should not be confused about this point: We in the netroots are not their ATM machine, and we don't like Joe Lieberman.
