Isn't it funny? Vepres can defend military interventionism, can defend corporate socialism, and can champion the cause of those politicians which support both - but mention one thing about non-interventionism or a real free-market economy and he goes apes**t, despite his alleged support for both.
WTF!?! I am one of the most pacifistic, pro-market (as opposed to pro-business). I don't like people attacking politicians for being bipartisan and independent.
And yes, I know Lieberman probably doesn't oppose the public option on principle.
Yet you defend him anyway, and by doing so you implicitly defend everything else he supports. Does it shame you to know that the left-wing in this nation is more libertarian than those politicians you've fallen in love with?
That's a logical fallacy. Just because I defend him doesn't mean I support his position (though in this case I do).
You support his position by encouraging him to remain in the Senate.
Wait!?! So now I have to support his resignation? He's certainly better than generic New England Democrat #5.
More libertarian than the Republicans? Most certainly.
Seriously?
If you only look at economic issues (which are the most important to me at the moment), Republicans have become very libertarian the past year or so. Not when they were in power, mind you, but now they are. The other thing is the Republicans won't get any of their social agenda through congress ever, so I don't worry about that.
On foreign policy, it's pretty much the President, so I don't often take Senator's foreign policy stances into account (I do sometimes though). It's like me caring about a school district board member's stance on entitlement reform, mostly irrelevant (not best analogy, but you get the point).

Exactly, they learn that letting people want to do in all cases is just not plausable. People when they get power realize this.
