This article praises him for reaching across the aisle to right wingers.

I understand that he can’t be Paul Wellstone, but we need no more Liebermans.

Cases in point:

• Voted against the hate crimes bill when he specifically promised to support it. He was one of only 14 Dems who voted against the bill. Let’s put it clearly, when he had a choice between voting what he promised, and voting with the Klan in his district, he voted with the Klan.
• Gave a “non-endorsement endorsement” of Hagel/Bloomberg for President. Note that Hagel supports criminalizing abortion, and has voted for every Bush judicial nominee).
• He’s specifically cut down a potential Dem Presidential Nominee ( (“Certainly we are not Hillary Clinton. We don’t govern like she does.”)
• He’s constantly voted for Bush and against the Bill of Rights.

So he’s a lying sack of excrement DINO Dem, but I repeat myself.

Note that his re-election is a priority of the DCCC, so I would suggest that you give either directly to the candidates, or someone like Act Blue.

FWIW, any DCCC money going to him is largely wasted anyway. Last time, he ran against a guy who was being sued for choking his mistress. Won’t happen again.

The DCCC should not throw good money after bad.

If a member of the DCCC wants to dispute this, I’ll publish it, unedited.
