"The house we hope to build is not for my generation but for yours. It is your future that matters. And I hope that when you are my age, you will be able to say as I have been able to say: We lived in freedom. We lived lives that were a statement, not an apology."

Apart From All The Rest

Joe Lieberman has always been one of the more credible, level-headed Democrats around, always following his conscience and not partisan motives. Though he is by no means a fan of President Bush (he did after all seek the Democratic nomination to challenge the president), he does not let that cloud his judgment and sense of reality, something that cannot be said for most of Senator Lieberman's Democratic cohorts.

On a recent trip to Iraq, Lieberman stated his belief that the elections must go forward, that we are defeating the terrorists, and that the majority of Iraqis want to be free. These comments are the reality of the situation, not what Michael Moore and the rest of the Democratic Party would have you believe. It is this adherence to principle that separates Senator Lieberman from most of his party, and he is a model of the type of person Democrats will need if they want to start winning elections again.
