Liberal Dems in Connecticut think Lieberman's too Bush-like to deserve another six-year term in office. Lieberman has now decided to fight back -- by insinuating that he'd leave the party if there's a primary challenge.
Let's go to the poor-quality audio file for proof:
QUESTION: ... Zell Miller once stated that he would always be a member of the Democratic party. Can you make similar promises?
LIEBERMAN: Will I always be a member of the Democratic party? I hope there's not a primary. I'm confident if there is one, I'll win it, but I'm not gonna rule out any other option for now because I feel so strongly that I can do better for the State of Connecticut for the next six years in the United States Senate that I want to give all the voters a chance to make that decision on Election Day in November. I want to do it as a Democrat. If I didn't want to do it as a Democrat, I would choose to run in some other party, trust me. But I want to do it as a Democrat because I believe in the Democratic party, so really the choice is up to my fellow Democrats ...

There is only one guy in the world who can pull off this DLC crap ... and he will be going to the UN because he can't run again ...
Hey, if Repubs can be liberal, why can't Dems be non-liberal?
What liberal Republicans? Where?
We should send the entire Democratic machinery t-shirts that say "I'm a Republican, too."
Olympia Snowe... McCain, for co-authoring that horrid, anti-American "Incumbent Politician Protection and First Amendment Evisceration" Act...
There's probably a few more, but I wouldn't vote for them, even if I could, in any case.
I am, however, enjoying the dog'n'pony/bread and circuses RepubliDem Smackdown fights. Keep pissin' off the electorate, more of them will vote Libertarian, Constitution, Green... good for America.
