"Just for a moment, put aside all the usual concerns about Sen. Joe Lieberman
(I-Conn.). Forget about his inexplicable position on the war, his triangulation,
his right-wing talking points, his politics of fear, and his inability to stick
to basic principles he claims to hold dear. Forget all of that, at least for a
moment, and consider his leadership as chairman of the Senate Committee on
Government Affairs."
Has Lieberman been failing in his duties? Is he attempting to stay out of the food fight that Washington is descending into to position himself for a future run for the White House? There comes a sad point in the political process where all the trials and all the testimony becomes so much that the mind can't bear it anymore. You pick up the news and you see the words being thrown around and you don't know who to trust anymore. I think sadly more and more Americans are falling into this state. If America is becoming more partisan, it may be that people are finding it harder and harder to get the to the truth in todays political field and have stopped trying. They simply vote on one issue that seems clear to them, and they vote for the party whoes point is clearest and closest to their own. The middle of the road is not only where dead animals are found, it is also where complex ideas die.
