Let's get one thing straight first. The government is us, the majority of whom are average ordinary citizens. (1) Politicians, it has been proven, are mostly representatives of Wall Street. (2)They do their bidding.
The Joe Lieberman who stands before us has decided to leave office in a blaze of shame; and he reeks of neo libeal, the "state", the destruction of Wikileaks (truth), of military contractors, of multinational corporations (especially bankers) and insurance companies. He reeks of what President Eisenhower warned against ... the military, industrial, [congressional] complex.
Joe Lieberman who supported the president's decision on the "no fly zone" against Libya is now calling for a "no fly zone" against Syria (saying there is an American appetite to back freedom fighters outside Libya .... [Where did he get that idea?].

This is the same man who said he would vote against the public option, and the extension of Medicare to Americans between 55 and 65 (because he said it would lead to single payer). Lieberman was also against the drug reimportation amendment.
This is also the same man who remains silent about multinational corporations outsourcing jobs to poor countries paying workers less than 50 cents and hour, and doing nothing about their working conditions, health care, or standard of living. If we're wrong about this, please tell us.
