Showing, once again, that it is possible to be a sensible liberal:

Sounding more like an independent than a Democrat, Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., tells ABC News he will campaign for some Republican candidates during the 2010 midterm elections and may not seek the Democratic Senate nomination when he runs for re-election in 2012.

I like the fact that Lieberman is an Independent – in fact, a few GOPers and Democrats should become an Independent block in the Senate (off hand, I can think of 5 or 6 possibilities) and thus hold the balance of power. Democrats would still be in charge and that is ok – they won the election; but they wouldn’t be able to do what they’re attempting now: steamroller through as much of a radical left agenda as possible before the political winds shift. America did vote for Democrats in 2008, but America did not vote leftist.

We need to break the entrenched power of DC – and that means we have to be open to all sorts of political groupings and alliances. The more varied the interests at play, the better for America.

    That’s because Lieberman is a classic liberal, not a neo-capital-L Liberal. You could say he is a John F Kennedy liberal, not a Teddy Kennedy Liberal.

    Long before I heard Reagan say it, I had been telling people that I did not leave the Democratic Party, it left me. The current GOP is nearly identical to the Dems of JFK, while the Dem party itself has slid so far to the Left it is not even recognizable as the Dem party of old.

    I don’t always agree with Joe, but I respect him, because he seems to have principles rather than emotion guiding him.
