Lieberman says what we have all thought, Democrats are being hijacked by "paranoid" fringe

Joe Liberman came out and gave an intresting look at the Democratic Party in the Financial Times. In the article Liberman says this about the party:

"The 2008 Democratic candidates are beholden to a "hyper-partisan, politically paranoid" liberal base that could endanger the final nominee's chances of winning next year's presidential election, Joe Lieberman, the former vice-presidential Democratic candidate, said yesterday."

"[Today's Democrats] are inclined to see international problems as a result of America's engagement with the world and are viscerally opposed to the use of force - the polar opposite to the self-confident and idealistic nationalism of the party I grew up in."



Liberman says what those in his party have been afraid to say because they might stir up trouble with the Moveon.org and DailyKos groups that are out there. The fact is most Americans are not supporters of this fringe elements. The Democrats should realize this before they let them define who they are, which is something most Americans do not identify with.
