Now why would Lieberman, an independent, who normally stands on the side of the democrats, switch parties to stand with the republicans? Can we say McCain? Why can't democrats developed a spine and cut their losers? After all the Obama bashing Lieberman did during the general election, why in the hell did the democrats let him back in the fold? Talk about being a slave to punishment and abuse. What was the chances that in it for him self (screw the people) Lieberman was going to align his self anywhere that was not to his capitalistic benefit?
