HOW SOON BEFORE EVERY SINGLE LIEBERMAN BACKER IS A REPUBLICAN OR A CORPORATE WHORE?

Other than a small handful of dedicated fellow corporate whores in the Senate, it doesn't look like there will be any Democrats supporting Lieberman by November. Every single day marks another day more Democrats realize that Lieberman is the Republican candidate. Yesterday one of Connecticut's biggest and more important labor union's, AFSCME, which had endorsed Lieberman in the primary, withdrew it's endorsement and switched to the Democratic Party candidate, Ned Lamont. The union's executive director explained the switch: "Since the Aug. 8 primary, we paid close attention to the remarks of both men. We saw Joe Lieberman moving closer and closer to Bush, while Ned Lamont held firm in his strong opposition to the direction Bush is taking us... In the end, our delegates realized that it boiled down to a simple question: Which candidate will stand up to George Bush and Dick Cheney? That candidate is Ned Lamont and only Ned Lamont."

The SEIU and the United Auto Workers, each of which had stayed neutral during the primary, have also now endorsed Lamont and are working for his election against the CheneyRoveBush-backed Lieberman. On the other side of the street for every labor union or consumer-oriented organization lining up behind Lamont, another corrupt Republican plutocrat rushes to Lieberman's defense. Pothole Al D'Amato, Jack Kemp and Michael Bloomberg have been raking in the dough from right-wing fat-cats and lobbyists who are desperate to keep so useful a corporate whore like Lieberman in the Senate.


UPDATE: LABOR UNIONS AREN'T THE ONLY DEMOCRATS LEAVING LIEBERMAN ALONE WITH HIS REPUBLICAN ALLIES

According to the new Rasmussen poll Ned and Lieberman are in a statistical dead heat, with almost all of Lieberman's Democratic support having abandoned him since the primary. The vast majority of people saying they will vote for Lieberman are Republicans who, like him, support the BushCheney agenda.
