WASHINGTON — Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman may be some Republicans' idea of a good Democrat, but a growing number of fellow party members in his home state couldn't disagree more.
"It's at the point where he's no longer interested in his own party's opinion, he's really out of touch with reality," said Mitchell Fuchs, chairman of the Fairfield Democratic Town Committee in Connecticut. "For me, he's crossed the line a number of times."
Passions flared after Lieberman's recent trip to Iraq. Upon his return, the three-term senator pointed to what he views as progress on the ground there and suggested that Democrats should avoid harsh criticisms of President Bush's Iraq policy.
In turn, Republicans and administration officials, including Bush, used the senator's comments to bolster their case for war and underscore Lieberman's differences with other Democratic leaders on the issue. Republicans have since charged that Democrats lack a coherent, unified message on Iraq.

So they consider Lieberman's patriotism to be a liability?
I thought Pelosi said the strength in the Party was that each individual had their own opinion. They don't have a party position. Makes me laugh
Well, if you were the party that was trying everything it could to tear the country down, wouldn't you?
I wish Joe would just leave the Dems and either outright join us or become and Independent
I dont agree with everything this man says or does but
at least he has some Honor for crying out loud
"I thought Pelosi said the strength in the Party was that each individual had their own opinion."
She Lied!
But she's a democRAT. But I repeat myself.
Time to Invite Lieberman to join us.
ROTFLMS.......
NO, it's at the point where the dims are no longer interested in their own country's security and they are really out of touch with reality.
So, the democrats are going down the toilet, and their solution is to purge the few sane folks left in thier party???? Way to go guys!! KEEP IT UP!
Democrats are going the way of the Whigs.
This sounds like something Stalin would have said while ordering a liquidation. The RATS are all about 'the party' and nothing else.
I don't know about that. I'd rather he be an independant. Otherwise, he'd just be another RINO.
Maybe Joe is the one that's needed to reform the 'Dark Side' of politics.
I say leave him there, just to pi$$ them off!
I hope he gets re-elected with a huge margin.
I am amazed that they can even keep up with what they say each day. I guess it is easy when none of the MSM calls them on it or replays it for them and then everything is taken "out of context". I am amazed at the hate and evil that is inside these people.
he's really out of touch with reality," said Mitchell Fuchs,
Uhhh, no...it's YOU and your party who are really out of touch with reality mr. fuchs!!!!! Joe Lieberman is a good man. He spoke the truth and as always you guys don't understand the truth because you are strangers to it!!!!
Hey Joe ... maybe it's time for a change ... BUT do we really need another RINO ....
The MSM will always ignore what the Dems have said in the past.
To them, it's like 'biting the hand that feeds you'.
