And in the end they wouldn’t let him be a Democrat.
The FR link on Drudge was actually called White Water Files, not White Water Papers. Sorry for the error.
Gone Lieberman 2000.
He was old school rat, like Zel Miller and Daniel Patrick Monahan. (Monahan is the only Democrat I ever voted for in a national election.)
WHO PUSHED HIM?
The kind of Democrat my father voted for, along with people like Scoop Jackson. RIP for him, and for the non-Marxist party that died long ago.
RIP!
Died or killed? I noticed he spoke up in defense of Israel and against progressives and Biden recently. Now he’s dead. Coincidental?
Lowell Wackjob was one of the first Republicans I hated! My school went on a trip to DC and he had an attitude that he was better than you. Then he lost to Joe and he screwed the taxpayers of Connecticut when he and liberal Dems by starting an income tax...without cutting the sales tax that was asked by Republicans.
I still have my “Gore Loserman” T shirt!
I remember seeing that he had just commented about the Sleestak Schumer.
Yep, that’s where I took that photo .. it was a great, and noisy afternoon.
Some of the homeowners even brought out hot chocolate for the troops.
:-))
He’s got Joementum.
There was another Dem from Georgia, cannot remember his name, was cut from slightly better but similar cloth to Joe Lieberman ... any idea?
He spoke at the 2004 RNC- in fact he gave a great speech from what i remember
Zel Miller

Lieberman grew up less than a half mile from me on the east side of Stamford, Ct. We went to the same high school, but I didn’t know him, as he was two years behind me. He was a good man, always looking for bipartisan solutions to problems.
Maybe somebody decided that throwing him out of an 11-story window was too dramatic for the United States?

He is from the era where Democrats were Americans.
True...and Connecticut Dems were sometimes more CONSERVATIVE than Connecticut Republicans. My state Representative, Tim Mahoney, was very pro business anti tax Democrat. He usually was unopposed, but sometimes, a Republican did run against him and the Republican ran left of him. He was my state representative - and a great customer (we serviced his boat) and we always talked about repealing the income tax. He was one of the few Democrats who voted against the tax. He was primaried by a young liberal (who could make AOC look conservative) and Tim lost. The liberal has retired after 4 terms but the Democrats owns the seat.
