Joe Lieberman and the future of the Democratic Party

[mburbank]

Abcddxxptcrusier; You are a loony. Stick to your areas of expertise. The Deomcratic establishment was behind Lieberman. For God's sake, Preident Clinton stumped for him.

"My primary point of contention is with the Democratic fringe base, and the degree of influence they are currently holding in elections. As far as process goes, yeah, it's great. Yay democracy! But when a small group of Democrats suddenly decide what makes a real Democrat, and what was once a big tent becomes increasingly smaller and smaller, then you risk alienating yourself from the bulk of voters. "

That is your current THEORY and not a matter of physics. Here's mine. A lot more mainstream centrist voters than you think hate the way our country is going and are very angry at the Democrats for not fighting against it more vigorously. 'Reatreat from the world', that's pretty arrogant. You remind me of Dante conveniently finding everyone he disagreed with in hell.
