Taking stuff off a Huffington blog and posting it verbatim doesn't rise to the level of posting facts. Here's a tip you may not have heard in all your years in grammar school lefties, it's O.K. to have an opinion. It's no secret that the democrat party allows no opinion other than party policy. They kicked their former V.P. candidate out of the party for being too moderate. Again, it's O.K to have an opinion that you didn't get from Huffington or Barry Hussein or the comedy channel.
LIE alert... You turds just can't help yourselves can you? Joe Lieberman was never 'kicked out' of the Democratic Party.
The FACTS:
During his re-election bid in 2006, he lost the Democratic Party primary election but won re-election in the general election as a third party candidate under the party label "Connecticut for Lieberman". Lieberman himself was never a member of the Connecticut for Lieberman party; he was a registered Democrat while he ran.
Lieberman was officially listed in Senate records for the 110th and 111th Congresses as an "Independent Democrat" and sat as part of the Senate Democratic Caucus. But since his speech at the 2008 Republican National Convention in which he endorsed John McCain for president, Lieberman no longer attended Democratic Caucus leadership strategy meetings or policy lunches. On November 5, 2008, Lieberman met with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to discuss his future role with the Democratic Party. Ultimately, the Senate Democratic Caucus voted to allow Lieberman to keep chairmanship of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. Subsequently, Lieberman announced that he would continue to caucus with the Democrats.
