25. Lieberman actually has a very Liberal voting record on social issues
Yes he sucks with his position over Iraq, but on social issues Lieberman's voting record is not much different than say Senator Boxer's. Thus, I'd far prefer Senator Lieberman get re-elected to the Senate, than have a full-on Reactionary and Right-Wing Republican take that seat off him.

I would have no problem cutting ALL funding to Ben Nelson, he's up for re-election, considering that he votes with our Democratic Party about 2% of the time, I think that the DNC should refuse to give him ANY funds...he wants funding, let him go to where he belongs for it, the RNC.

The thing is, as Democrats we cannot agree on 100% of the issues 100% of the time, and nor should we. As you state we agree on certain things, we disagree on certain things, and this is how things should be...of course I draw the line at bashing of our people (except for Ben Nelson), because I think that the bashing is counterproductive and especially in an election year doesn't help our side and only serves to give the RNC talking points.
