Al From supports Connecticut for Lieberman Party

Al From might work for an organization with the word 'Democratic' in it's title, but that isn't stopping the DLC honcho from supporting the Connecticut for Lieberman Party:

Joe Lieberman is a man of high integrity and high purpose. He has been my friend for two decades, and to me, he represents the best in American politics. [...]

In my personal capacity, I will support Joe Lieberman, running as an independent Democrat.

But I feel it is important for the future of our Party to clarify that Lieberman isn't running as an independent Democrat, he is running on the Connecticut for Lieberman ticket:

Joe Lieberman is now the candidate for Senate on the Connecticut for Lieberman Party (CFL). He should be recognized as such as he chose it. So let us all use the correct label for Joe - Sen. Joseph Lieberman (CT-CFL). Joe is NOT an indepdendent. Why? Because that name is ALREADY TAKEN in Connecticut!

It has been explained previously here on DKos that Connecticut has strict rules for the naming of a political party. You cannot use the name of another party in your party name. When Joe calls himself an "Indepdedent Democrat", he is taking the names of TWO other Connecticut Politcal parties - the Democrats, and the Independents. Sorry, Joe, no can do.

Everybody between here and Tibet knows that Ned Lamont is now the Democratic candidate for US Senate from Connecicut. The Independent candidate from Connecticut is John Mertens - not Joe Lieberman!

The Democrats could have had the honor of Joe Lieberman still being a Democrat, but idiot voters decided to support the terrorists and lose the Global War on Terror. It is the Connecticut for Lieberman Party which had the foresight to support a candidate as great as Lieberman and recognition has been earned.

That said, the support from Al From is a blessing. Most Democrats are cut-and-run hippies, but Al From is just as comfortable serving as a lobbyist for the Chamber of Commerce as he is supporting Joe. Our Unity movement will only suceed if we can destroy the Democrats and few people have more experience in this task than the Democratic Leadership Council under the direction of Al From.
