Lieberman's big election lie
by kos

It's too bad that in politics, especially in the Senate with its six-year terms, politicians don't suffer any repercussions for lying to the voters.

Here's Lieberman in July:
So I am confident that the situation is improving enough on the ground that by the end of this year, we will begin to draw down significant numbers of American troops, and by the end of the next year more than half of the troops who are there now will be home.

Here's Lieberman yesterday:
"We need more, not less, U.S. troops here," said Sen. Lieberman (R-CT).

He said what he needed to say during the election, and then tossed it all aside after the votes were counted. It is because of people like Lieberman that people are cynical about politics.
