Lieberman is NOT a Republican

Since we've recently gone back to this "Lieberman is a Republican" b.s., here's a little evidence to the contrary:

American Conservative Union numbers:

Lieberman: 20 percent
Kerry: 20 percent (!)
Gephardt: 8 percent
Edwards: 30 percent

Chaffee: 53 percent
McCain: 78 percent

In other words, the most liberal GOoPer is FAR MORE CONSERVATIVE than Lieberman! And according to the nation's biggest Conservative group, Lieberman is no more, or less, conservative than John Kerry. Quite the eye-opener, huh?

How about environmental rankings:

Lieberman: 88 percent
Kerry: 92 percent
Gephardt: 91 percent
Edwards: 68 percent

Chaffee: 68 percent
McCain: 36 percent

Again, there is an obvious difference between Lieberman and Republicans.

Do you really want to turn Lieberman into a Jeffords? Stop with that shit, please. I don't particularly like the guy, but he's not a Republican. He's a solid Democrat.
