Huh!? Lieberman has been the opposite of a waffler, he sticks to positions he believes in, regardless of which party philosophy they fall neatly into. The only "waffling" has been by leftist democrats, who want to punish him now that they might not need his vote so badly.
Lieberman votes liberal on most domestic issues, he certainly is more like a dem than a republican. But he has taken a hard line on international issues, he backed the surge strategy, and he endorsed John McCain because of his judgement on foreign policy.
Its funny how the Democrats are becoming the party of intolerance. John Kennedy would not be welcome in the party today, he was certainly to the right of Lieberman. But I suppose the pendulum will swing back someday.
