I do not like Joe Lieberman

Every time I hear Joe Lieberman speak now I get so angry and feel sick.

He is just so wrong. I thought it was odd when he went to run for VP, but at the same time it was cool to have a guy from CT to run for that high office.

Then this past election, was where the crap really started. When he didn't win the Democratic nomination, he decided to run as an Independent instead. This totally undermines the system that we have in place. To make matters worse, he went and won. This shows that his support comes from the right, the people who can't vote in the Democratic primary. He's just a Republican in disguise. He is pro war, and votes with the GOP on war issues, such as troop reduction, etc.

I am not categorically against politicians who don't always go with their party line. For example, I really like John McCain (for a Republican). He is the classic Republican who wants to reach across the aisle to get important things done. Lieberman has sort of the same MO, but he has done it in a really sneaky way. If he wants to vote GOP, then run GOP. He could have won on the GOP ticket, but instead he tried to go for the Democratic nomination, didn't get it, but decided to bypass the system and play anyway.

On top of all this, I just can't stand to listen to him. He always sounds like he's about to cry, or like he just woke up from a nap. Then he's spinning all the war stats more than Bush does. He just needs to join the GOP where he belongs.
