Now Playing: Democrat, Independant or Liebermantarian
Topic: Lieberman
Democrat, Independent, or Liebermantarian
Joe Lieberman is trying to play the same game that was played so well by Dustin Hoffman in the 1970 movie “Little Big Man” where the Dustin Hoffman character portrayed himself to be either a White Man or an Indian depending on the situation, whichever would be safest for him to be at that particular moment. But let’s face the facts Joe, you ain’t no Dustin Hoffman!!!
Lieberman has described himself as a Democrat, an Independent, or an Independent Democrat depending on who he is talking to at that particular moment, but in actuality he is what he has been for the past five or so years, a Liebermantarian.
A Liebermantarian does not really care about the Working Mans needs or wants, but only cares what position on the pending legislation will serve Joe Lieberman best. A Liebermantarian does not care about the Senior Citizens, or what programs they need to protect their health and well being, but only what position will serve Joe Lieberman best. A Liebermantarian does not care if our ports and borders are secure, or if Illegal Immigrants are taking jobs away from honest American Citizens by taking jobs at less that a living wage, just whatever position serves Joe Lieberman best. A Liebermantarian knows full well that the invasion of Iraq was a mistake and we should not keep sending young American Military over there to be slaughtered in a part of the world that has been fighting religious wars among themselves for centuries, and in Iraq the Sunnis and Shias are doing exactly that while our troops are watching. But if a Liebermantarian says something that proves to be wrong, they are not allowed to change their mind, no matter how many innocent civilians, or young soldiers die because of their error.
By the way, in Connecticut groups of Grassroots activists are in the process of throwing Lieberman out of the Democratic Party.
These sentiments are borne out by a statement in the Web Blog Site The Daily Kos:
None of this is surprising given those of us who have seen the selfish Lieberman working for himself the last three years." (Daily Kos Website, www.dailykos.com, Accessed 8/22/06)
