Why Lieberman is Awesome
Subject line is a lie. Lieberman isnt awesome.

But I'll tell you why he's superior to every republican.

HE VOTES WITH THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS

And ya know why Zell Miller was superior to any republican?

HE VOTED WITH THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS

The power of the Majority leader in the Senate is massive. A democratic one is better than a GOP one. The votes in caucus are important. They determine the course of the Senate.

So gimme 10 Zells or Joes if it means 10 less Arlens.

1. Did you catch Zell on The Daily Show last night?
at the end Jon said he didn't agree with one idea of Zell's.

2. That doesn't make him awesome. That makes him not the worst we could do.
Lieberman is a Democrat who constantly volunteers to break ranks and join Bush. That makes him the worst of the acceptable. As soon as Connecticut can, it should dump him for a democrat who isn't ashamed of being one.

3. Ill take him
Better to have 1 Zell than 1 Santorum

AND better to have 1 Zell than 1 Snowe.

I'm a power player... gimme the leadership and the Senate is ours. So lets stop with the cut-of-our-noses-to-spite-our-face attitude and be happy that Lieberman votes OUR way MOST of the time. All of the time is a pipe dream.

Hes a conservative, but hes also a democrat.

4. And I'd rather have a true blue democrat than all of them.
That means Lieberman isn't awesome. He's better than Santorum, in a damningly faint praise.. Big deal.

6. Read the first line of my post
I dont like Lieberman, but at least hes on our side.

Not everyone can wave crystals and pretend to be liberal like Kucinich. Or have balls of steel like Boxer

7. "Awesome" is your thread title. And I would
reword your statement to, "He's the least on our side". Just saying.

5. Didn't you get the memo. No Conservative Dems allowed. We all
have to have the same ideals and be the same way or you're a DINO and you suck RW @#$%!
