Senator Reid,
I am extremely disappointed in the Democratic leadership's position on Joe Lieberman. I'm sure you are aware of the fact that he is telling the media - and more importantly - Democratic voters in Connecticut, that he will be given his seniority if he wins the election in November. Who has made that promise to him - you?
This is a slap in the face to the Democrats of Connecticut, including myself, who voted overwhelmingly for Ned Lamont. We fired Joe Lieberman - we don't want him to represent us in the Senate going forward.
And yet the Democratic party has allowed, without comment, Joe Lieberman to denounce the Democratic party, wage a nasty campaign against the rightful Democratic nominee, take campaign donations from Republicans and special interests, allow swiftboat groups to run ads for his benefit.
Democrats in Connecticut and around the country are watching this race very closely. Joe Lieberman says he won't forget those in the Democratic Party who recognized his opponent, just because Lamont won the election (he was quoted as being able to forgive but not to forget). Well, we won't forget and we certainly won't forgive the fact that the Democratic leadership has allowed, for the most part, Lieberman to ignore and subvert the rules of the Democratic Party in Connecticut, to satisfy his own ego.
I would also like to ask if it is acceptable or appropriate, considering the unusual nature of the Connecticut race for Senate, for one of your Senate staff members, Leslie Phillips, to write a letter in support of Joe Lieberman for publication in a Connecticut paper, the Hartford Courant. I am outraged that you would allow the authority of your office to, in essence, endorse Senator Lieberman and commend him on the "wonderful" job he's done for Connecticut.
Senator Reid, Senator Schumer, and other so called "Democratic leaders" - have you no regard for the democratic process? What does the Democratic Party stand for? Why even have a party if there is no discipline enforced?
After this election I will be changing my party affiliation from Democrat to Unaffiliated.
