What is Joe Loserman doing?
I just sent in this email to Mr. Lieberman, who after losing his primary, has announced that he's creating a new party so he can run in the general election...
Dear Senator Lieberman:
I am a registered Democrat and am offended by your recent antics. While it is clear that you are trying to hold onto your job at any price, I believe you are doing an incredible disservice to the Democratic party. The primaries are intended to let voters of each party choose their desired candidates. You worked within this system for years without complaint, yet when Democrats denied you the right to represent them, you attempted an "end-around" that subverted the process; you even went so far as to create a bogus political party to further your goals. This is as unethical as it is distracting.
The majority of Americans believe the Iraq war is going poorly; the majority of Americans believe that the war was not a good idea; a majority of Americans believe that the country is going in the wrong direction; and a majority of Americans disapprove of President Bush and his policies. You claim that you represent the citizens of Connecticut, yet you CLEARLY do not represent them well. Now, Republicans such as Karl Rove, Ken Mehlman, and Dick Cheney are openly campaigning FOR you!
As a registered Democrat, I urge you to step aside from this insanity and back the winner of your party's primary. Howard Dean and countless others have done it, why can't you?
