    One of our own?

    Hardly.

    Tim, what the hell are you talking about?

    Lieberman has, from the beginning of his career, spearheaded by William F. Buckley, capitulated to the right wing and religious conservatives.

    Gore's picking him for VP showed the disconnect between the party mainstream and the DLC and I believe it made, in the end, the difference that lost Gore the 2000 election.

    Its time for Lieberman and the rest of the DINOs to be removed. Maybe the democrats will lose seats in the short term, but it will be very healthy in the long run to rid ourselves of these pretenders and panderers.

    Shed no tears for Joe and shed no tears for the Dems.
