Wouldn't it be great if a true Democrat or even an independent ran against this phony? Once again, I'll vote against Joe Blowhard by voting for whomever runs against him. But I would sure love to vote FOR a candidate, to be able to wholeheartedly support someone, Weicker even, who's at the very least honest about his or her political position. We might have a Republican governor here in CT, but we thought we were voting for Democrat senators. Only one of them is a Democrat.
One of the things that really bothers me about Lieberman is the fact that he manages to get so much face time by jumping in on issues that he knows nothing about. It also bugs me that he isn't honest about how much his religion really affects the positions he takes and the votes he casts. He's gotten hypocritical that his voice makes me cringe even more than Bushie's does.
Maybe if Joe would've run just one campaign, for Veep, rather than hedging his bets and also running a campaign for Senate here in CT, Gore would've won by a decisive enough margin that there would have been no question about the victor. I know it certainly bothered a lot of people here that he was running for two positions. Hedging like that just signaled that he didn't take the campaign seriously -- so why should anyone else?
It's time for Joe to go.
