Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman says he wants to return to Washington to "get things done." The problem isn't getting things done. The problem is that the things that have gotten done are weakening this country abroad and undermining most American families at home.

He's the champion of...

  • The Iraq war
  • Corporate trade deals
  • Capital gains tax cuts
  • Off-the book stock options
  • Privatization of Social Security
  • Political interference in Terry Schaivo's private tragedy

In refusing to heed the verdict of the voters in Connecticut, Lieberman demonstrates his total disconnection with people. He just doesn't get it.
