Just imagine the DemocRAT infighting if the Gore-Lieberman ticket had been elected.

The second reason for the Democrat Party's souring on Lieberman is that he IS a true moderate.

Baloney. Lieberman is one of the most liberal members of the U.S. Senate. His 2005 ACU rating (8) was actually lower than Hillary Clinton's (12).

The question I find myself asking is not: "Why are so many Democrats sabotaging Lieberman's campaign?" -- but: "Why do so many Republicans insist on calling this flaming @sshole a freaking 'moderate?'"

not once did Lieberman accuse anyone of stealing the election.

This is not true. Lieberman did so at the Dem convention in 2004.

It's not about about Joe Lieberman, it's about Zell Miller.

They're (kook left) afraid that Joe is a Zell.

Joe is no Zell obviously, but it is enough to scare the moonbats out of them.

The poll reveals that if Lieberman runs as an Independent, he would win with 56 percent of the vote, compared with 18 percent for Lamont and 8 percent for Republican Alan Schlesinger, a moderate. And that surely angers -- even scares -- the Democrats.

And 18% don't vote? What do they say when forced to make a choice?

The one things libs do 1000 times better than conservatives is march in step and not break formation. That makes them a formidable foe.

They may be marching off a cliff (let's hope so). Joe had the audacity to take a different, more rational route (as far as Iraq is concerned).

Why Are Democrats and News Media Sabotaging Joe Lieberman's Campaign?

If he loses the election in November, Lieberman will make a good cabinet member in this or a future Republican administration.

His support for the War On Terror. He don't tow the kook line, so he needs to be done away with. What we're seeing is just that.

Lieberman's best bet might be to try and run for the nomination after all. He might lose, but if the Hildebeast's star continues to burn out with the party faithful that would leave Gore and Kerry to battle it out with the other dwarves. It would be the ultimate irony if Lieberman could emerge as the voice of reason after those two destroyed each other.

My guess is the dems are peeved at Joe for straying from the plantation and cozying up with GWB and the administration on some past issues.

It seems there are only a few dems who are ALLOWED to do that. Such dems must also mercilessly trash GWB on other issues at the same time even while they are working with him on some issues ( a la kennedy and clinton. )

Like him or not, Joe is a gentlemen, so unlike the others named above.

Consider a defeated Lieberman. Think about a high energy ex-Democrat who wants to help his country. Think about a sizable book with many, many details about his life as a Democratic insider. Think about Hannity & Colmes & Lieberman.

I don't think a loss by Joe would be all that bad, no, not at all. In fact, it might be the worst nightmare for the Dims since Zell retired.

I don't think Joe is in the JFK\Truman class. maybe closer to FDR...

I really lost some respect for him, when he twisted himself into a pretzel to run as VP.

"Why Are Democrats and News Media Sabotaging Joe Lieberman's Campaign?"

For the same reason they're sabotaging America.

They're idiots.

Personally, I think the moonbats initially jumped ugly all over Lieberman because he did not oppose the war. Once the frustrated moonbats saw that they might have a little pull in this election they began to flex their, albeit limited, political muscle. They are now intoxicated with the their feeling of power, something they haven't collectively felt in quite a few election cycles, and Joe Lieberman is their little political whipping boy, and they feel good about beating him up.
