Former Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman (D, then I) has passed away at the age of 82.
I have to admit that I am saddened by this news. Lieberman was a principled and patriotic man who rejected the elitist ‘uniparty.’ Even as he sometimes shared some of their goals, he sought to find the common ground that would benefit—rather than harm—the American people.
Watch Victor Davis Hanson explain why Lieberman is so respected and his passing lamented on the right.
As a reminder, it was Lieberman who spared us from Obama’s “public option” in the ObamaCare push (a thing this guy thinks was bad for some reason).
The response to Lieberman’s passing is a credit to his character.
Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air had this to say:
How very sad. Senator Lieberman was a liberal Democrat with a strong moral compass and a powerful desire to serve his country. May his memory always be a blessing and may he find his repose in the Lord. Thank you for your service.
