Back in 2006, Joe Lieberman lost the Democratic primary for his senate seat. Rather than bowing out like any honorable person would do, he became an independent and ran to keep his seat.
During his campaign, Lieberman begged Obama to come and help him kick start his independent bid. Obama obliged and gave the keynote speech at a Jefferson-Jackson-Bailey dinner in Connecticut for Lieberman.
Lieberman showed his gratitude to Obama by stabbing him in the back during this presidential campaign. Stumping for McCain, Lieberman questioned Obama’s leadership, experience, and patriotism. When it started to look like McCain would lose the election, Lieberman started campaigning against the Democrats having a filibuster proof majority.
Now that Lieberman’s candidate has lost the election, Leiberman wants everyone to forgive and forget his actions.
If you agree with me and think Lieberman needs to face the consequences of his actions, sign Fierdoglake’s petition. Let Reid and the other members of the Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach committee know that Joe should not be rewarded for his actions.
