Why do Lieberman, Cuomo and Romney arouse so much hatred?

[cavalcade]

Romney is a Presidential candidate, which automatically draws fire from the opposition (just look at how R and D opinion of Obama and McCain, respectively, changed in 2008- though both didn't help their reputation by pandering during their primary/nomination).  He is seen by right-wingers as a liberal for, you know, Romneycare at a time when the Republican base is insisting on true conservatives.  Also the Bain stuff is pretty universal villainy.

Lieberman is, as has been mentioned, a traitor.

Cuomo is sort of the mirror-Romney.  True liberals hate him for his apostasies but will grudgingly support him if he gets the 2016 nomination and conservatives will hate him if he ever becomes a threat.
