You don't understand. Lieberman isn't a leftist. A leftist would never say some of the things he has said. He's a moderate liberal who occasionally, but only occasionally, has the courage to stand up to the leftist liberals. The reason to vote for Lieberman is to keep Ned the Red Lamont out of the Senate. Lamont is a hard leftist. As someone said on this thread, he would be a megaphone for Soros and his ilk.

Not good enough to vote for a liberal. That really is like saying "we need to vote for Hillary Clinton to stop moveon.org backed candidate Russ Feingold from winning the whitehouse." No thanks.
I don't live in Connecticut, so it's not like I matter in this race. But if I did, it would be a cold day in hell before I'd ever, ever vote for either Lieberman or Lamont.
