Since he arrived in the Senate in 1988, Joseph Lieberman has been a good Democrat. His voting record, for the most part, is in line with liberals. There is one issue though, which distinguishes him from other democrats: national defense. In the mold of hawkish Democrats like JFK and Harry Truman, Lieberman favors a strong military and an aggressive fight against terrorists. He is not afraid to criticize Barack Obama and will sit out the Democratic Convention in Denver. The Democratic Party can't handle this though and is threatening to take away his committee (Senate Committee on Homeland Security) chairmanship.
This speaks very poorly of the Democratic Party.
