No, he isn&#8217;t telling us anything we don&#8217;t know, but, it is refreshing to see someone who was (and really is ) a prominent democrat Speak Truth To Kooks. <strong>The 2008 Democratic candidates are beholden to a &#8220;hyper-partisan, politically paranoid&#8221; liberal base that could endanger the final nominee&#8217;s chances of winning next year&#8217;s presidential election, Joe Lieberman, the former vice-presidential Democratic candidate, said yesterday<\/strong> He went on to note:<strong>&#8220;[Today&#8217;s Democrats] are inclined to see international problems as a result of America&#8217;s engagement with the world and are viscerally opposed to the use of force &#8211; the polar opposite to the self-confident and idealistic nationalism of the party I grew up in.&#8221;<\/strong> While it is nice to see some honesty from a democrat, don&#8217;t expect this to become widespread too soon.
