Connecticut ping!
Please Freepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent Connecticut ping list.
Joe said all along that he would caucus with the Democrats. That's probably a reason he won. If he did anything else, he would be untrustworthy.
I never understood all the enthusiasm for Lieberman by conservatives/Republicans in this Senate race anyway.
As if we would have confused him with a Republican.
No real surprise there.
How does it show that?
I may not agree with Sen. Lieberman but you cannot say he is untrustworthy. He has always said if he was elected as an independent he would caucus with the Democratic party. He has never said he would not do this.
In a sense, Lieberman is now the most powerful Senator. He owes absolutely nothing to the Democratic Party now. He can demand any chairmanship with either party if he wanted to. Without his caucus vote, the Democrats would not have a majority and would be forced to share power with Republicans.
Good point!
Lieberman will never learn. I felt badly how he was treated; now I don't.
The wife in denial who stays with the abusive husband no matter what.
Just shows, you can't trust a Democrat. - not true; campaigns are one thing, working with the other side is quite another; politics is NOT nice business, the President knows this.

Anybody who expeced Joe to be a republican was just fooling themselves.
Joe has sense and can be trusted more than any other dem on the WoT, but other issues he has always promised to be the liberal that he is.

Heck, Joe's just being what he always has been. He didn't pretend to be otherwise, and he's sure better than Lamont.
It probably would have better if Lamont would have won, it would have put MORE pressure on the dems to pull out NOW.(Whats the difference anyhow)
Supporting Lieberman helped keep Lamont out of office. But Joe was never one of us.
In hindsight, we may have been better off with Lamont.
Did you people seriously think he was going to switch parties and become a conservative? The only benefit we got from Lieberman's election was watching ned lament spend a pile of his own dough.
Actually that is good news for the company I work for. About time you brought home some bacon Joe!
What a crock .. Reagan never defeated Democrats in any way. He got Democrats to support the economic and foreign policies of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. He had Tip O'Neil, the Democrat speaker of the house, over the white house many times. Reagan never invited Conservative Barry Goldwater anywhere.
Reagan governed using the Democratic economic policy of cut taxes and deficit spending. The deficit doubled under Reagan as did federal spending. The number of civilian government workers under Reagan grew by over 200,000 people. He only managed to close just one tiny government agency. The Reagan foreign policy was the Kennedy policy of defend any friend and oppose any foe of liberty. .. Right out of the JFK inaugural address.
Reagan got along very well with Democrats. Why should they dislike him he governed as liberal as JFK.
