6. No, that lardbutt of an schlemiel is lying.
He left because he had an ego the size of Texas that would not let go after Lamont defeated Lieberman in '06, and refused to let go of it, and so his ego got in the way and ran the general election under the banner of "Lieberman for Connecticut" independent party. It was all about Lieberman. Nothing but Lieberman.

Spector still has to tell us why he had to bullshit about his 'magic bullet' theory now, and ask him directly if GWHB and GWB was behind the Kennedy assassination as well as the torture memo. He knew the insides of the illegal war and the political machine. For me to view him as a true liberal Democrat, all he has to do is reveal it all in the Senate chambers live broadcasting the world, declassifying everything that Chimp and Dick classified, for indictment, impeachment, and stripped away from their former priveleges, as well as all pension, assets frozen for immediate repartition to the United States.

Then he'll have my seal of approval.

2. Lieberman never had a principled bone in his body. He left because he lost the primary
as a Democrat and he was determined to run instead of being a good soldier and supporting the Democratic nominee, Ned Lamont.

3. As Usual, My Friend
you are right. Ole Joe obviously placed self before party just like conservatives place self before country.

4. Selfish political survival is a principle
And both Lieberpub and Senator Grandstand are masters of the principle.
