Just One Vote

Is All It Takes

Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut said today while he has no immediate plans to become a Republican, he might change his mind if Democrats oppose funding the war in Iraq.
"I have no desire to change parties," Lieberman told the Politico. "If that ever happens, it is because I feel the majority of Democrats have gone in a direction that I don't feel comfortable with." The Politico asked whether that hasn't already happened, as Democrats have focused their energies on passing a non-binding resolution condemning President Bush's plan to deploy an additional 21,500 troops to Iraq. "We will see how that plays out in the coming months," he said, referring specifically to how the party handles war funding.

If you haven't come to the conclusion that both parties are essentialy the same, you need no further proof than this article on Joe Lieberman who is 'mulling' a switch to the repuclicrat party. Lieberman is one of, if not the most liberal politician on the Potomac as can be seen from his voting record (Stalin would have been farther to the right than this Joe), and all it will take to have him switch parties to the Democrat's --cough, cough-- ideological enemy is a vote on the funding of the war. I could keep writing and writing to convince you, but must I? And if the war leads one to believe that there is a difference of opinion up there, why hasn't Lieberman already changed parties? Because either party he is in, he will vote the same way. Nothing changes but a letter behind a name.
