Connecticut Democrats Plan Censure of Sen. Joe Lieberman

This makes no sense.
Connecticut Democrats, angry that Sen. Joe Lieberman is campaigning for the Republican presidential candidate and criticizing his own party's nominee, agreed Wednesday to circulate a resolution to censure the veteran politician but won't consider acting on it until after Election Day.

The state party's central committee Wednesday voted to send copies of the resolution to every Democratic town committee in the state. The resolution condemns Lieberman for speaking at the Republicans' convention and backing John McCain.

Party officials say the group plans to get input from the town officials and revisit the issue in December.

"If you have someone who says they're a Democrat, who is registered as a Democrat and is a national figure supporting a candidate who is opposed to all the ideals and beliefs and positions that we hold as Democrats, he's diluting, in my opinion, the meaning of our party," said Audrey Blondin, a 30-year party veteran, before the meeting.
Democrats essentially drummed Lieberman out of the party when the far left lunatic fringe supported Ned Lamont over Lieberman in the primary.

Lieberman ran as an Independent, under the Connecticut for Lieberman party banner, in the statewide election and won handily.

Now, these same left wingers want to censure Lieberman, who is no longer considered a Democrat, because he's supporting McCain, a Republican?

I think they've forgotten to take their medication, even as Lieberman votes with the Democratic caucus most of the time (excepting the war in Iraq). Lieberman is an Independent, thanks to these kooks who run the Democratic party in Connecticut. Censuring someone who is no longer a member of the party reeks.
