I have no issue with anything you've said in you post with the exception of this one line.
Since Lieberman is not a Democrat (if giving a speech at the RNC isn't evidence enough of this, then I don't know what is), why is "caved to Lieberman" any different than "caved to Snowe" or "caved to Kyl" for that matter?
What special powers do Dems have over Lieberman that would have forced him to stop being an Independent caucusing with the Democrats? Taking away his chairmanship would simply have driven him into the arms of the Republicans and assured defeat of HCR for another generation. I'm extremely interested in how (besides extracting his brains and implanting an android replacement) the Dems would have coerced him to not act like an infant? And how exactly does one negotiate with an infant?
