Why, Connecticut? Why?!

Why did you re-elect Lieberman, Connecticut? The man conned you. The new Congress has barely begun, and he has already flip-flopped on some very important issues since his campaign as Kos points out:

Lieberman refuses to hold Bush accountable for Katrina

...he promised them troop withdrawals before the end of this year and aggressive oversight over the mess in Katrina.

And now, he has broken both promises.

I do not have a problem with someone standing up for what they believe in, which is what Lieberman claims to be doing, but I do not see it that way.

He did not stand up for what he believed in. He said he would do one thing and then did the opposite. That is not "taking a stand". That is hiding behind lies, winning an election by deception, and weaseling out of his promises.

Joe Lieberman is the reason that people do not trust politicians. He is the worst kind of politician. He is a con artist.

Connecticut, it would be one thing if you were just bringing yourself down by re-electing him, but instead, you have brought this whole country down. You have stuck us with this disgrace for another six years.

Which is probably how long it will take for me to forgive Connecticut. Unless that state elects him again, at which point my head will probably explode. But at least then, I won't have to hear Lieberman say stupid statements like this:

Lieberman on Surge: What’s “The Worst that Could Happen”?

Even those opposed to the surge, he said, “ought to at least let us try it.”

“The worst that could happen,” he continued, is that this policy could become another partisan flashpoint in Washington.

Ahem. I believe, senator, that the “worst that could happen” is that a significant number of the 20,000-30,000 troops we send to police the hornets’ nest of Baghdad could come home in body bags.

How insensitive and ignorant can you get? There is just no reason, NO reason, why this man deserves to be a US Senator.
