Why do DUers eviscerate Lieberman (and Clinton) but embrace Ford?

[question everything]

of TN who is as DINO as one can be?

From TIME

The Congressman who is running to replace retiring Bill Frist as Senator from Tennessee has voted to outlaw gay marriage and to repeal the estate tax, and wants to amend the Constitution to ban flag burning. He supports getting rid of the handgun ban in the nation's capital and says the Ten Commandments should be posted in courtrooms around his state. He favors school prayer, argues that more troops should have been sent to Iraq and wants to seal the border with Mexico.

And, no doubt, he would have voted for both Roberts and Alito.

Next to him, Lieberman and Clinton are in the far left.

Do we really need someone like him in the Senate? I'd rather have a Republican. At least we will save future angst.

Add Casey to the mix and we might as well be called Republican Light.
