Liberman Puts Country First Over Political Career

No surprise here. Joe Lieberman is under fire from his Democrat colleagues after giving a prime time speech at the Republican National Convention. The Obama campaign stated after the speech that Liberman “proved a long time ago he’s not a Democrat any longer, and last night he reminded everyone he’s not even a man of his word any longer.”

Lieberman is an independent, but still caucuses with the Democrats and is the chairman of Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, but now finds those positions in jeopardy. A spokesman for Harry Reid says that “it’s likely” the Democrats will caucus after the election to decide the fate of Joe Lieberman in the Senate.

“He has every right to make a partisan speech at the Republican National Convention if that is what he wants to do…Having said that, that doesn’t give him the right to question Obama’s role and record in the Senate in the speech,” said the spokesman.

I guess just by mere disagreement with Obama makes you a liar, and how dare he question the “messiah,” this is no doubt blasphemy. Perhaps they will burn Lieberman at the stake.
Maybe Lieberman has no right to bring up his record, but how about duty to expose Obama as the leftist he is? Lieberman put his country first in front of his political future. I hope McCain rewards him with a cabinet seat in his administration if he wins.
