I talked to my favorite liberal Dem yesterday. We were chatting amiably about politics when I mentioned that I had always considered myself a Joe Lieberman Democrat but had started voting Republican since it became apparent that Joe Lieberman is the only member of the Joe Lieberman wing of the Democratic Party. She replied, with no trace of irony, "We're trying to get rid of Lieberman."
So she desperately wants the Dems to win elections because she is sincerely committed to liberal ideals. But she sees no problem with purging all those conservative Dems who haven't already voluntarily deported themselves to the Republicans.
Update: Lots more on the move to oust Lieberman at The Influence Peddler. (Via Ace)
