Told You So!

Lieberman's Iraq Stance Brings Widening Split With His Party - New York Times
In my most recent post I said "let us watch what happens, politically, to him!" -- well as I thought, he is on the outside looking in. Remember Democrats claim to be the party of inclusion, inclusion as long as you agree with everything they say! Some excerpts:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 - Five years after running as the vice-presidential nominee on the Democratic ticket and a year after his own presidential bid, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut has become an increasingly unwelcome figure within his party, with some Democrats seeing him more as a wayward son than a favorite son.
In the last few days, the senator has riled Democratic activists and politicians here and in his home state with his vigorous defense of President Bush's handling of the Iraq war at a time some Democrats are pressuring the administration to begin a withdrawal.
Mr. Lieberman particularly infuriated his colleagues when he pointed out at a conference here that President Bush would be commander in chief for three more years and said that 'it's time for Democrats who distrust President Bush to acknowledge that.'
