Lieberman
posted in General |LIEBERMAN
Senator Joe Lieberman is a famous American. For a multi-term Senator, a VP nominee and a frequent guest on TV shows, it is difficult NOT to be well known. But the chances are that by November, Lieberman could become a household word meaning “stab in the back”. Joe Lieberman committed an unpardonable sin for a Democrat – he openly supported George Bush, The Republican President of the United States. The issue was the Iraqi War. So the Dems decided to kill off Lieberman by supporting a rival in the Democratic primary election in Connecticut. Lieberman lost, but will now run as an Independent.
Lieberman was beaten (by a very narrow margin) by a wealthy left winger whose military strategy starts and ends with “retreat”. The nicer term is “cut and run”. But the anti-Bush, anti-war Democrats — Kennedy, Reid, Boxer, Kerry, et. al., got out their stillettos and harpooned Lieberman because of his principled position on the War. “Stab in the back” is an accurate and proper term, and it may be that in years to come when a back-stabbing incident occures, it may be described as a “Lieberman”.
Wonder what the left wing Democrats will do when Lieberman wins in November? My guess is that he will win.
