The Libertarian Shift

Michael Schiavo was a Republican until his wife's case became national news. This Kos diary slamming Joe Lieberman is another example of how many people are getting it wrong when they think it's the far-left and "blogofascists" who are changing the party:

Ned Lamont, Mr. Lieberman, is everything you are not. He understands that our bedrooms, hospital rooms, hospices and churches are not where we want our government. Ned told me, and the voters of Connecticut, that this issue was one of the reasons he decided to run for Senate.

He's right. And I have a feeling that the voters of Connecticut know it.

This is not a liberal movement within the Democratic Party. It's a libertarian one. And nothing would be sweeter to me than Joe Lieberman being its first casualty.
