It's hard for me to stomach all the Joe Lieberman "he was such a mensch" blather for 3 big reasons: --he singlehandedly held Obamacare hostage, succeeding in eliminating a public option, thereby making insurance cos very happy and enriching himself through his healthcare lobbyist wife, through denying millions of Americans better health care options 1/ theguardian.com/world/2009/dec…
--he was a Middle East war hawk, supporting the Iraq War boondoggle, squandering millions of lives and billions of taxpayer dollars. --he helped lead No Labels, the outfit trying to launch a 3rd party presidential ticket, widely believed to help reelect Trump. 2/

@lawindsor One of my life rules: It’s always best to tell the truth about a dead person. Even if the truth hurts. Lying about someone who has died doesn’t make them a better person.
