"but that doesn't mean we have to take him and his policies in, too"
The GOP has to come up with 60+ votes to overcome filibusters. The GOP has 51 Senators. If you don't want Lieberman, then *which* 9 Democratic Party Senators *do* you want to vote with you to get our most controversial judges and policies approved (or do you just want to deny that filibusters and minority Parties have any power)?

there is a difference between getting enough democrats to break a filibuster, and opening the "big tent" up to socialists like Joe Lieberman.
That is what I am saying. There are plenty of folks on both sides of the aisle who vote across party lines on many issues, without joining the opposition's party.
You seem to think it a better idea to just adopt the liberals into the GOP for the long haul.
