Lieberman To Remain In Democratic Party
Connecticut Democratic party registrar Sharon Ferrucci today rejected a move by "peace activists" to expel Joe Lieberman from the party.
The senator lost the Democratic primary and is running in the general election as part of a new party, Connecticut for Lieberman.
Had Registrar Sharon Ferrucci agreed to the petition, she could have scheduled a hearing in which Lieberman would have to explain why he should remain in the party that nominated him for the vice presidency in 2000.
The authority to expel a party member "should be rarely and cautiously exercised," Ferrucci said.
"The Democratic Party is founded upon principles of inclusion and diversity of opinion and the promotion of debate," Ferrucci said. "I do not intend to summon anyone enrolled in my party to defend the good faith and bona fide nature of their affiliation with the Democratic Party."
Another dirty trick fails.

The real dirty trick is that National Socialists now control the former Democrat Party, Joe is merely a token of what once was.
