This is a perfect illustration of the insanity of the American Left. They are so virulent in their hatred of anything remotely conservative, that they try to kick out moderates of their own cause. Lets be clear. Lieberman is not a conservative. He is a democrat for starters. But he also ran with far-left Al Gore in 2000 as vice presidential candidate. So he is definately a liberal, if only modestly so.
However, he sees the world, or at least the world of global islamic terrorism as it really is, without the block-everything-evil sunglasses that most liberals fashion. He supports the war in Iraq, and for this he may lose his senate seat to some unknown anti-war hack.
This raises a number of questions. First, what is with the American left? A multiple term senator of esteemed standing, and they're trying to remove him from office? Can't you learn to disagree amicably? I disagree with John McCain on a number of issues, but I am not about to try and get him kicked out of office. He has a solid pro-war voting record, and on the real important issues is generally on the right side of things. Plus he's another republican seat.
Second, what has become of politics in this country? I have nothing else to say about this, it is just a general question you should probably think about. What has happened to this country? Has politics destroyed us? I believe it is well on its way toward destroying our civilization.
And that is something we can absolutely not allow.
