"The Lieberman Principle"

Great post by Mcjoan on Daily Kos- here is her conclusion:

I think I understand the Lieberman principle that his supporters are always trumpeting:

Lieberman: Look, talk about who is a good Democrat or who is a bad Democrat. By running his campaign on this single issue, he has taken the safest Democratic Senate seat and put it somewhat in jeopardy. . . . And he has taken three Democratic House challengers, each of whom has a chance to get elected, and by putting me in a position that I may not be on the Democratic line, has made it harder for them to get elected."

So this is the Lieberman Principle. What is good for Joe is good. When it is good for Joe to criticize the President, then it is good to criticize the President. Only then. When it is good for Joe to be partisan, then it is good to be partisan. Only then. When it is good for Joe to abandon the Democratic party, then it is good. Only then.

The Lieberman Principle: If it is good for Joe, then it is good. Only then.
