121. Lots of Democrats Voted For That Bankruptcy Bill
so we can't fairly single out Joe Lieberman.

It would only fair to single out Lieberman as not being a devoted Democrat if he were ever the ONLY Democrat voting a certain way, or if he voted against the party more than any other Democrat.

However, running as an Independent after losing the party nomination - THAT we can single him out for not being a devoted Democrat. A devoted Democrat would swallow his (or her) pride and support the party nominee. He would then become an elder statesman within the party who could work to change what he didn't like from within the party.
