The Case for Lieberman

Yesterday, we reached out to listeners in Connecticut to get a reaction to Ned Lamont’s primary victory over Joe Lieberman. We heard back from three Lamont supporters in the afternoon. Bill Jankowski from Mystic responded to our query late last night.

I’m actually kind of excited that Lieberman’s going to try an independent run. I’m a registered Republican, but would vote for Joe as an independent. He’s one of the few voices of moderation left on the public stage.

1994 and after showed us what happens when a small, vocal, passionate minority gets control of the halls of Congress. It’s fractured the country, and shifting the small, vocal, passionate minority in charge from the radical right to the radical left isn’t going to do anything but add momentum to our national game of “Crack the Whip”.
