CT Deaniacs start campaign to "Dump Joe"

I disagree- Lieberman does wear his religion on his sleeve and gripes about Hollywood values, but is for gay rights, good on women issues, prochoice. He's most conservative on defense issues. Also, he is pro-vouchers on education.

I don't mind if Lieberman is replaced- better than a Repub, but I don't really like him. My problem with this is the "Deaniacs"- if Dean's forces, even without his explicit approval- are seen as targeting a sitting Democratic senator- he is going to have some real problems with the folks in DC. And I wouldn't blame them one bit.

Lieberman is not pro-gay rights.
