Generally speaking, I have nothing against Lieberman. Even his
pro-war stance is OK - NOT. We're a big tent, but not right now? His sucking up to George
Bush, however, is really offensive and completely gratuitous. That's
strike one.
Plus there's this whole snide business about how "Kos and the
liberal netroots have never backed a winning candidate." It's not
really true, I know, but it would still be nice to see that canard die
a clear and well-deserved death. So that's strike two.
And then there's the really lame ads Lieberman has been running.
That's strike three. And the fact that he's as much as said he'd ditch
the party and run as an independent if he loses. That's strike four.
And his vote for cloture during the debate on the bankruptcy bill and the cloture vote for cloture on the Alito appointment..
That's strike five.
Handing Cheney a big ol' bucket o' love during their "debate" - strikes six and seven.
Telling rape victims they can just go to a different hospital if the
one they are taken to won't give them "morning after" contraception -
strike eight.
Saying "Freedom of religion doesn't mean freedom from religion" - strike nine.
And his annoying habit of undercutting other Democrats by going on
television shortly after they've said something useful and completely
disagreeing with them (see "we shouldn't criticize our President in
these times of peril") - strike ten!
Remind me again. How many strikes before you're out?
Generally speaking, I have nothing against Lieberman.
