Joe Lieberman may be a pariah to the Democrats. He may be a traitor. He may be the kiss of death to whomever he's trying to help, right Al Gore? However, Joe Lieberman isn't the same as that wacky Hee Haw reject, Zell Miller. Miller, the loony Georgia Senator who railed against John Kerrey at the 2004 Republican Convention while rolling his eyes and throwing his arms around was a nut. A kook. Joe Lieberman is a man who feels he was betrayed by his party. Joe's brain was warped by 9/11 much like Dennis Miller, Ron Silver, Dennis Hopper, and many other formerly clear thinking people. When your brain warps, you don't think clearly and you believe invading the wrong country is super duper. Had FDR responded to Pearl Harbor by invading, oh I don't know, New Zealand, guys like Lieberman would have hollered " to get those kiwi eaters!"But Joe Lieberman is worth saving. He is a champion of civil rights, women's rights, gay rights, and just a bit off when it comes to the Iraq War.
My advice to Harry Reid, and the rest of you Democrats suddenly in power. Step back and think. Democrats like Nebraska's own Ben Nelson are much more conservative than Joe Lieberman. You may need Joe The Plumber, Harry. Think!

The anger against Joe Lieberman goes back to 2006. He was not the only Senator who continued to support a forever occupation.
But even then he was unique as a Democrat in going out of his way to taunt those whose support he demanded.
