In reply to the discussion: Lieberman tried to defeat Obama in 08, single handedly cut the public option & was CURRENTLY working to elect trump. [View all]KT2000

Poor choice for VP to begin with as he has not been true to Democratic values and abandons them easily.
My contempt for him occurred during the Democratic Convention when he made his grand entrance while Stephen Hawking was on the stage. He stole the attention and Hawking was left speaking to no one. Lieberman adored the adulation at the time but eventually turned on us.

TBH, I had just moved on and found him quite forgettable. Obama was my main concern and I loved him (still do)....

Not to forget he came to Miami in 2000 to cozy up to the most extreme RW "exiles" who will never vote Dem.

I'm not a fan of any politician. I support those who need support and work with the Democratic Caucus.

At the end of the day, Joe Lieberman's last act was actively working to defeat Joe Biden.

After 2000, I never paid much attention to him I never got why Gore chose him in the 1st place.

The only thing I will miss about Joe Lieberman is Jon Stewart's "Droopy Dog as Joe" impression/voice

Yes. Democrats won the seat but replaced Lowell with a far more conservative senator.

On balance, he did not make the world a better place. We are all supposed to do that.

I feel for you - I was well aware that this was going to affect a lot of people in a very negative way.
