We Answered:

- Why doe it seem like it’s always Joe Lieberman who thinks of these great ideas? From the Sydney Morning Herald:

US President Barack Obama would be granted powers to seize control of and even shut down the internet under a new bill that describes the global internet as a US “national asset.”

The proposed legislation, introduced into the US Senate by independent senator Joe Lieberman, who is chairman of the US Homeland Security committee, seeks to grant the President broad emergency powers over the internet in times of national emergency.

Did J( ) Lieberman left the Democratic Party cause Liberals were racist toward Jews in CT.. Shame on Liberals?

Lieberman had to switch parties since he lost his Senate primary race to Lamont, so the Republican groups got behind Lieberman and got their constituents to vote for Lieberman, rather than the actual Republican candidate, Allen Schlesinger. The White House under Bush helped Lieberman get the Republicans vote in Conn.
