I'm struggling to figure out why I should care one way or another about this.

Maybe it's not being an American, but I just don't get why liberals hate Lieberman so much. Aside from one issue, he's staunchly liberal in every position and he caucuses with the Democratic party to give it a majority in the Senate. Is supporting the war really that horrendous?

No hooker, you're right, supporting an illegal war that killed between 30,000 and 100,000 Iraqi civilians, 4000+ US soldiers, destroyed Iraq's ability to function as a country, wrecked the US economy, and destroyed our international standing isn't that bad you horrific, fatuous fucking douche. Jesus Christ.

Hooker, it's not just supporting the war. It isn't just ONE issue. Lieberman has been supporting Republicans for some time now. He is even appearing the RNC this year. He campaigned AGAINST a Democrat politician in his own home state. He has been part of McCain's campaign. He votes on that side of the aisle almost constantly. He is not a staunch liberal of any sort. What he has been doing for the past 5 or so years is effectively acting as a supporter of the Republican party without having the balls to go whole hog, change his party, and just be done with it.

If you don't understand why Lieberman is so hated, then any explanation we give probably wouldn't help. I'd recommend taking a Political Science 101 course first, then maybe we can help.

Lately Lieberman is zealously supporting, as stated below, McCain. He is a noxious bastard.
