Joe Lieberman and the future of the Democratic Party

[KevinTheOmnivore]

My "theory" is pretty well supported by history. Show me a Democratic president in the 20th (I'll even grant you the 19th) who won national election based off of retreating and surrendering from a war.

Wilson, FDR, Truman, JFK, LBJ, Carter, and Clinton. Show me the one who would've supported your ostrich policy towards the war on terrorism, while they were president. (We all know it's really easy now for someone like Carter to say stupid shit with on consequences). How'd it work out for George McGovern?

"The way the country is going" is always a funny argument. i know you have this end of days thing going on, like today is the worst day America has ever seen, and look out for tomorrow! I know that plays well in partisan party politics, but it isn't in line with reality.

I don't like a lot of things about the Republican dominated government. I don't believe we'll need to worry much more about that come November, which is why these primary purges are important to me.

If and when the Democrats take control of the Hill again in November, what is the alternative they offer other than Bush hatred? The Lieberman race was about Bush, period. You've thus far refused to prove otherwise. The only Democrats I honestly see offering domestic plans, as well as alternatives to fighting the war on terror, are the DLC/PPI types. They will be purged from the party though, so don't count on Daily Kos saving them.
