But I digress. "Joseph Lieberman was kicked out of the party." Ya' know, I'm getting very tired of this untruth. It's all and well fine to be "civilized, polite, and informative," but it is neither, civil, nor polite, nor informative to express an untruth when one really should know better. Now, I'm sure your friend Larry is an honest man making an honest mistake, but to a lot of people this might sound like a liar's smear deisgned to make the Democratic party seem antisemitic. I won't make that accusation myself, but I should civilly and politely inform all here that the above statement might well be inferred as the lowest sort of rhetorical device. In 2006, the CDC (Connecticut Democratic Convention) officially endorsed Lieberman for his incumbant bid for the senate. Ned Lamont came along and ran against him in the primary, and he won. Lieberman was not "kicked out of the party" - he was more than welcome to remain a Democrat. The VOTERS in the primaries chose someone else over him. That's all. Lieberman then announced that he would run as an unaffiliated candidate anyway and that he would remain loyal to the Democrats, as he has for the most part to this day. It then became a three-way race. Lucky for Lieberman, the GOP candidate, the infamously aliased "Alan Gold," was an extremely poor contender, polling at only a tenth of the vote. Lieberman won back his seat by a metaphorical default. he has caucused with the Democrats ever since. If conservatives truly want our national political dicourse to be "civilized, polite, and informative," I would strongly suggest putting to rest to the lie that "Joseph Lieberman was kicked out of the party."
