Gotta love Joe Lieberman, he knows what’s going on in the Democrat Party these days:
Well, I say that the Democratic Party changed. The Democratic Party today was not the party it was in 2000. It’s not the Bill Clinton-Al Gore party, which was strong internationalists, strong on defense, pro-trade, pro-reform in our domestic government. It’s been effectively taken over by a small group on the left of the party that is protectionist, isolationist and basically will –and very, very hyperpartisan. So it pains me. I’m a Democrat who came to the party in the era of President John F. Kennedy. It’s a strange turn of the road when I find among the candidates running this year that the one, in my opinion, closest to the Kennedy legacy, the John F. Kennedy legacy, is John S. McCain.
I would say that he is wrong about the Clinton-Gore party being strong on defense and pro-reform, because first of all, Clinton gutted the military, and second of all Clinton only agreed to domestic reform because the Congressional Republicans dragged him, kicking and screaming, into doing it (particulary welfare reform). Other than that, he’s right on the money. And libs like the people over at the Swamp (the link I gave) aren’t too happy about it.
The truth hurts, what more can I say?
