Lieber-Wuss

Something historic just happened recently, Joe Lieberman became just the fourth incumbent senator to lose a primary since 1980. After his lose, he then announced he would continue to run, but as an independent – specifically what he called an independent democrat. Appears as if his independent democratic ways is what lost him the race in the first place.

Lets face it, Ned Lamont, a millionaire cable mogul is new school and without wrinkles. In contrast, Lieberman is stuffy and viewed as a pocket man for a Bellicose President. Some argue that Joe Lieberman has been an effective Democratic Senator for Connecticut and for America. By changing affiliation, this supposedly honorable senator is telling folks it is ok to be a sore looser, to take your ball and go home when you are not picked to play.

Who cares if Leiberman’s loss will make the Democratic Party more extreme far left or that Democratic candidates become unelectable? I just think he send the wrong message, saying that if you lose fairly, then you can turncoat on the folks that carried you and mess it up for them. It also says that Three-term U.S. Senators are obsolete and out of touch with the populous that in most respects are sick of the war/occupation in Iraq. All in all it just says that Senator Lieberman is a wuss and a wuss by genetic make-up is part wimp and part pussy.
